Hey #PortfolioDay my name is Dougie and I'm the creator of ShadowMyths. I do dark, spooky, unsettling, but sometimes positive and uplifting oil painted artworks.

An oil painting of a large old tree with red leaves and a mottled trunk. Next to the tree is a man who is just staring off in the distance. The man is wearing a tunic and has long hair. An oil painting of a vulture sitting on a branch, three skulls in the darkness above it. An oil painting of a barn owl sitting atop a skull. A large bright moon rises in the background. A painting of a gray mechanical looking figure with a glowing red heart in the center of their chest. Their eyes are also glowing red.

Hey all... redoing my youtube channel for a different vibe/feel. First I'm testing out the audio. Do you find the sound distracting? Would make you turn it off? Or is it okay?

From the necromar deck: Moving quickly underground, the Sand Demon preys on anything that walks across the sand dunes of Ozul. These nightmarish creatures are so efficient that many desert areas are avoided by the locals.

From the necromar deck: The underwater city of the Kai is a haven for those who wish to learn about anything in the world. The Kai are voracious information gatherers and will collect any form of knowledge, no matter how insignificant it may be.

From the necromar deck: Like a plague in the night, large number of Valankir will swarm over a ruin and claim all that they touch. This small and deadly race reproduces extremely fast and an extended family of Valankir can number in the hundreds.

Hey, look! My lovely wife @miserelovesco.bsky.social has finally joined us here in this bluest of skies! Go give her a follow; she knits both snake and centipede scarves AS WELL AS hand-sews these bad-ass horror underbust waist cinchers! Love you, sweetie!

#darkart #pennywise #necronomicon #corsets
A stone gray waist cincher hand sewn by my wife Misere Love. The eyes of Pennywise stare through the lacing and white glove fingers reach through it. A paper boat is sewn to the lower left. The back of the Pennywise corset, featuring a red balloon and the words "WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE" painted blood red and trailing into a downward arrow. A waist cincher my wife Misere Love made that she calls the Necronomiconstrictor. It features a dessicated face over leathery fabric that resembles human skin stitched together. Blood drips from the seams and the laces. A close-up of the Necronomiconstrictor's face.

It’s #Tolktober day.27 - Darkness

I went in my own direction for today, designing a Nazgûl that fits the title of ‘darkness’ in the world of #Tolkien. Prompt brought to us by Elliot Wells and Harvey J Harrison (Instagram).

A hooded figure, only his lower jaw is catching any light under his hood. A iron crown of spikes rise from his head, through his hood. In the centre of his unknown face sits the one ring. The one item that has brought so much madness and terror. 2-4B graphite on 110gsm paper.
