Hunter's Dream from Bloodborne, from 2020 when the game was turning five. Drawn with an attempt to emulate Edward Gorey. The outlines for the church and the stairs were made with a very good and proper pair of projections, though you may notice some fudging in those four spike things around the spire because the projections were intersecting and I couldn't be bothered to fix it properly. Two wolves, one simply couldn't be bothered with that at the time and the other definitely spent more than a week getting this finished.
Ordinarily when I say I drew something with a mouse I am compelled to add, "using the Pen tool" as while it doesn't make the process faster it does take the need for precision movement away. Every single visible line in this drawing was done with the Pencil tool this time, though, because there were 60,000 of them and I think doing that with the Pen tool would take longer than remaking the game from scratch.

Edward St. John Gorey (1925-2000), American writer, Tony Award-winning costume designer, and artist.
no artist can ever make anything as relatable as edward gorey drawing a shrewd little man looking out upon a barren ass landscape & the only caption he chose to describe this intensely bizarre scene is “hoo.”

Happy birthday to Edward Gorey

An old skeleton, a rat and about 20 hairbrushes make surprisingly good company
I once knew a strange little girl
Whose monstrous hair did unfurl
And swallowed me whole.
So, may god save my soul
'Cause I'll never escape from these curls.
I found another library with artists’ books on Vine. Nicely done, Robert E. Kennedy Library from California Polytechnic State University. Even though you haven’t posted recently, you’ve won a fan.
