- The Incineration of Decay - inspired by Demon's Souls #art #DarkArt #B&WArt #Soulsborne

Digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: The Incineration of Decay. A large being of roots and branches looms over, its equine head with sharp teeth and white vacant eyes and a third one in the center of its forehead with an intense bloodshot pupil. It has two claw-tipped scaly hands, one of which is holding onto a geometrically-decorated spear piercing into its dark chest cavity. Its head is crowned in large, gnarled branches. More spears pierce its chest from different directions. Black fluid pours from its mouth onto the twisting bed of roots beneath it. The entire piece is stylized, using no shading but a lot of line wood grain on most elements.

In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.
