Busts of Jayce and Viktor, with their heads split open, sharing a single skull with arcane corruption all over it. There are butterflies fluttering around them, they're also surrounded by Zaun's smoke and Piltover's clouds. The skyline of Piltover crowns the piece, aligned with an arcane explosion right at the bottom center.

A blue tiefling playing the oboe surrounded by golden columns and lilac tiefling in the middle of a bloody swamp framed by soft turquoise walls
An elf? holding two swords and being pierced by two more standing between columns that turn into tree roots and a ??? thing ??? stepping on a giant scolopendra in the middle of a gothic archway with seven skulls above them

My OC Eliott sitting atop a broken statue that is holding a sword and a quill. There's a crack on the face of the statue, with a skull peeking from underneath. Eliott is reaching for the quill but his other hand hovers over the sword.

Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus holding hands and looking at each other. It seems as if Harrow is about to fall and Gideon is catching her. Two spears pierce through their linked hand and the blood pouring from them is dying Harrow's scarf red. It looks like bloody wings.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. 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.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. 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.

I think I shifted to more rose color tones in her skin an then matched the background to that. It’s easier to limit your color pallet physically too and I stuck to about 5 colors for this one.
