BLACK MOON CEREMONY

Every 127 years,the black moon appears.

this mysterious celestial object is the signal for the Dark monks to gather at this secret tower.

After a long pilgrimage ,it's time for an unknown ceremony that's about to resurrect dead warriors in order to create a merciless and invincible army...

After the giants war...

Once there were giants walking on this earth, fighting each other...fighting for what? For whom? Nobody knows...it was such a long time ago, it has all been forgotten in the shadows of time...now, those almost indestructible shells are the foundations of newborn cities...

That was my entry for the "newborn" contest at conceptart.

portrait of jean baptiste faure

here is a copy-after "a portrait of jean baptiste faure" by anders zorn,this is such a great way to study and learn...I love this picture a lot and all of zorn in general...

burning souls

This is a place in between worlds...a place for the burning souls...a place where THE GATE is waiting...waiting and calling...soon , a new world will host them...a dark or light one...only the gate knows...

at the mountains of madness

inspiration comes from HP lovecraft:lost in the silent cold in the middle of nowhere ,cyclopeans ruins were build for eons ...full of dark secrets unknown to mankind...
