a horned demon sits in an ornate red throne with a serious expression. their eye glows green and they wear grey and black garments.

an ink drawing of a humanoid person with three sets of demonic horns on their head, leaning back on an ornate throne with a skull at the top. they have long pointed fingernails and toenails, and look at the viewer with a serious expression.

in progress of @gorepunk.itch.io 's character. it's been a while since i've done inks this detailed. it feels good, a meditative process.
stay tuned for color.

i have been flagged for "sexually suggestive content" in my previous post. i have made an appeal, and will hope for the best.
i notice i am also struggling with the short-form nature of the text on this platform. i never used twitter, so this is a new and strange restriction for me.

a 1545 oil painting of Lucretia, a woman who looks at a dagger she holds aloft, about to plunge it into her bare chest. the background is red drapery.

a re-imagined version of the Lucretia painting done in watercolor and pen, where Lucretia's bare chest instead has the scars of top surgery, and the dagger is being pulled away from it.

two years ago, i was transfixed in front of this 1545 painting of Lucretia at a museum.
i kept imagining the dagger as a tool of creation, as opposed to destruction.
i made the drawing, then the photo, and wrote an essay for myself about the painting, and my alternative take.
condensed thoughts...

a photo of sage's wooden desk, with a small shelf above it holding cups of brushes and pencils, and the rest of the wall full of framed scrolls and artwork.
