Bard of the Silent Path — keeper of forgotten tones.
He sings so memory doesn’t rot.

Berserker of the Silent Path.
He drinks the fly agaric to forget fear.
When others fall silent, he walks toward the noise — and becomes it.

the oracle of spores — keeper of the lost craft.
when magic died, they learned to grow it again — from rot, from silence, from memory.

the ranger of the silent path — a listener, not a hunter.
humans who once fled the cities now mimic the myths of mice to survive the forest ruled by necro-cats.
built from bark, bone and silence.

lost in the woods again.
another shitty piece from me — inktober 2025 edition 🖤

the ranger of the silent path — a listener, not a hunter.

CHAOTIKA.
.
Paranoia Bloom. When every glance feels like it’s staring right back.

#CHAOTIKA #ParanoiaBloom #psychedelicart #retrofuturism #popSurrealism #eyeart #cosmicillustration #neonposter #halftonetexture #emotionalchaos #mentalhealthart

A cosmic flower whose petals are eyes; a large central iris stares forward as smaller eyes gaze outward in all directions on a starry background—evoking a beautiful sense of paranoia.

CHAOTIKA

True courage whispers… you don't always have to roar.

A teal-and-gold lion on a starry backdrop releases soft glowing streams instead of a roar, surrounded by spiral orbs — a metaphor for quiet courage.

Happiness hits randomly… embrace the delightful chaos!

A neon one-eyed sun with a manic smile blasts jagged yellow rays as cubes and confetti scatter across a dark cosmic background, suggesting a chaotic, euphoric hit of happiness.

CHAOTIKA
Storms of the mind, painted.
(One of my illustration series)
.

"Overthinking brews a storm… careful not to drown in thoughts."

An abstract digital artwork showing a large glowing eye in violet and teal at the center, surrounded by spiraling storm clouds and lightning bolts. Dark hands reach toward the lightning, trying to stop the chaotic storm. The background is a deep starry night sky.

Just some Dislyte fanart.
If I could design my own hero for the game, it would be Psyche — a blind knight with fiery butterfly wings and a candle flame burning in her chest. Her look is all about inner light, vulnerability, and the strength to stay true to yourself even in armor.

My take on Drew from Dislyte — redesigned in a sleeveless vest because, well, he deserves to be dapper while doing what he loves.
Who needs a sword when you’ve got a spatula and dangerous charm?

#Dislyte #Fanart #Drew #AnubisButler #moussecakewarrior

Anthropomorphic jackal character resembling Drew from Dislyte stands in a warmly lit kitchen, wearing a stylized purple vest over a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and golden accents. He carefully decorates a chocolate mousse cake with a spatula. His expression is calm and focused. A small glowing butterfly-shaped spirit floats behind him. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, blending fantasy with domestic calm.

He might be the kingdom's chosen hero, but right now he's just hers.

Link and Zelda are sitting closely together on a stone bench, softly touching foreheads; Zelda gently holds Link’s face with care and affection, set against a warm, golden sunset backdrop with distant silhouettes of trees and a castle.

I can’t help but melt from the cuteness.

When they ask me how my mood is, I’ll say: drawing toxic jellyfish, wheeee

Here's a glimpse of my recent work — a mix of urban mermaids, myth, and a bit of visual chaos.

Name: Tamara
Cover story: “Head of accounting. Doesn’t do small talk.”
Real identity: Office mermaid. Drowns daily in an ocean of paperwork and outdated software. Keeps ancient sea relics hidden in the archive room. Her sighs sound like whale songs.
