A person is running to the right with an arm outreached. Visible on their back is a crisscrossed array of blue tattoos. They are facing a galloping horse. In the background: two fire-engulfed hands coming down from the top of the page, with strings wound around the fingers. Behind the hands is a large pale rock; behind the pale rock is a dark burgundy landscape. The night sky is a deep blue.

The final transformation, the last judgement of souls and objects

Digital painting of two characters, both white haired and pale skinned. The man is partially embracing the woman, leaning into her side and curling his arm around her hips. His legs are metal prosthetics, and he is shirtless. The woman gazes over & away from him, and her hair billows like a fire. Fabric drapes like a tent over her raised hand. In the background are collapsing pillars, a multi-limbed bony wing, and ornate clockwork decorations. The piece is cast in a warm golden glow.

This life is but a bridge—commission of @ Celestialfang’s characters Lumia & Sol 🕯️

Two women falling and reaching out for each other. One has billowing fiery red-orange hair. A chess board has been tipped over and its pieces are flying into the air. The background is a lush Irish forest; there is a castle in the far distance.

Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don't find yourself.

Yep I’ll turn them on every once in a while if I’m trying to push colors/values! Mostly paint on just normal though :)
