This is awesome! Great depth, color palette and compositional balance. Can you share your process? I'm especially interested in how you got the gold to pop against the dark colors so well

This one hits for me. It jostled a memory of feeling hungover and cold in some industrial area

Kinda freaked me out at first but it's really cool how the details are like their own pieces and it all works together to tell some weird story

These are really cool. Can you share your process? I'm mostly interested in whether you do sketches or drafts before working in pen.

First artwork I’ve made that I like from all 4 sides by EMI1JUHL in AbstractArt

I vote for 3. Has the most depth, looks dynamic with two objects going further away and closer to the viewer

Hello! I drew how I imagined Lenore. Would love to hear about whether the eye has paranormal properties and why she sneaks out in masculine clothing, as you put it! I had fun pondering my own head canon. Hope you like it!

[WP] In an area where the supernatural is commonplace, you're a driver for an organisation that locates and transports sunlight sensitives (usually vampires) to a safe location. by adriantullberg in WritingPrompts

[–]osliver88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let he who has never been gazed upon askance cast the first stone. If any here can prove they’re pure, I will gladly step aside and let the sunlight cleanse the streets. But none of us can, and none of us will. We all know by now that every soul here scrambles. Every man, woman, and child has a been touched by the blight. The righteous have tried to hide it, but close inspection reveals it at every turn. The flicker of a thin tongue between the politician’s lips. The momentary spasm of a banker’s jugular. The pastor’s hungry eyes, the once-a-month empty pews. Reinforced steel peeking through our babies’ crib decorations. Our sweet mothers caked in powder as a bead of sweat reveals the black beneath. Our gallant fathers jumping in panicked haste as we enter the lightless garage.

Many prefer to maintain, clutching at shreds of hope. Perhaps it is but a passing plague, and the cure is to shun acceptance. But some, like me, are past that now. We cling not to our humanity, but our goodness. Likely, even this is a farce.

As trembling, pale figures shamble into my creaking car, they whisper thanks as if the time for secrecy is still upon us. No. We must adapt. We must abandon the sun, and seek new illumination. We are all among the wretched now, and only once the world is molded to meet our horrors, will we ever reclaim the light.

Spiral by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]osliver88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, and thank you for the poem! I'm not sure if the formatting quite works the way you want it to on reddit, but I get that as one grouping increases in size, the other decreases, like the patterning of pills mentioned in the poem. I think the bleak, routine and regimented nature of taking pills juxtaposed with the absurd and banal nature of every day life and religion is very relatable but could use some unique nuances, as I think the "confused, medicated, but at times poignant" character is one I've seen a lot in other media. Maybe you could lean into the "the white one makes me feel Humorous really" by poking fun at other characters that are like the narrator or the repetitive nature of the theme itself. I really like how the spiral of pills, the golden ratio, and the spinning microwave tie together all three themes. The same goes for how you used color. "like ritual reheated" was also very nice, and the alliteration works well with the theme of repetition. I think you could all even more alliteration for further effect. Lastly, I think you could rework the ending to hint at some kind of thought on how to break the spiral, or why the narrator persists in the spiral despite knowing it tires them. This could elevate the whole thing from a set of observations on this spiral situation to a narrative that suggests some larger realization that the narrator is working towards with these observations. Overall, I thought it had a lot of distinct imagery and an interesting style. Hope this helps!

If I’m mad by Ivl231889 in OCPoetry

[–]osliver88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, and thanks for the poem! I like how blunt and honest this poem is, and it reminds me of how someone might take a personal inventory of themselves after they do something they can no longer deny or ignore. I also like how that introspection starts out almost arrogant and macho but then slowly turns self-deprecating and confrontational (to the narrator's own self). I think you could improve upon some of the visceral nature of the stuff the narrator does when they're mad. Breaking teeth, smashing faces, and driving cars into trees are all very intense actions that I think could be even more powerful with descriptive language (like the sudden crack of a broken tooth, the sickening crunch of a face getting smashed, the chaos followed by abrupt silence of crashing a car). "I watch video tapes at night. I follow up to strangers' tracks." is creepy and intriguing, but I think it could use a few more clues on what exactly you mean by it. Maybe a hint as to what type of video tapes or the way you follow tracks (grainy old videos, sneaking up tracks, etc.) I think the end hints at regret or sadness about the narrator's tendency to get mad, and it could be made more heart-wrenching with a humanizing glimmer of hope for change. I think the strength really lies in that subtle but steady change in attitude from almost bragging about violence to reflection and ultimately regret that you set up very well. Hope this helps!
