#illustrated death

[falseficus]

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -

enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.

and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

"Don't you know this tale, in which all I ever wanted I'll never have? For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease up your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember, beauty is found within Forever shall the wolf in me... desire the sheep... in you"

i reworked an old artwork of mine to fit my current style/needs/vibes, what do you think of this version of beauty and the beast?

[gutz-spilled]

I figured since cartin got me kinda popular all of a sudden and I got a lot of new followers I might post some old art that I like

ALWAYS CREDIT ME IF YOU WANNA REPOST! or just don't repost, that'd be perfect actually

Chapter I: Death foretold. Lechior, an ancient warrior of olden tales believed to be cursed into the body of a beast as punishment for his pride, was doomed to a certain death from the moment his human body morphed into the body of a creature. On the dreaded day, his corpse became a blessing for one lonely and strange, forest-dwelling hermit.

(A first little snippet of the story of my ocs. I'd like to finally reveal it in a few parts, as I've been working on it for a very long time and wasn't sure whether to post it. Excuse my shitty writing - it's just trying to set some mood.)

One thing about kids is that they will casually trauma dump to you and not bat an eye

I’ll take this model…… and DRAW IT 🗣️🗣️✍️

(erm so I accidentally made light left handed here because for whatever reason I flipped the ref pic of him writing I guess ???? And I don’t want to flip the final image cause it just wouldn’t feel the same so I suppose maybe he’s just trying to show off here and that’s why he’s not holding it with his dominant hand. Explains why he ends up dropping it too)
