The Nightmare Stag (Dire Ravenstag) 

– it only took me six months to get back to this but the color sketch has now been updated with the finished drawing …my take on a dark fae version of the nightmare stag / dire ravenstag inspired by hannibal 

The first thing you’ll notice upon entering the anatomical theatre at the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Medicine is the lone pickled head, up on a shelf next to a diaphonized hand. It’s yellow, peaceful-looking, and somewhat akin to a potato. The various physicians and anatomy technicians in the preceding hallway all address it with a mix of familiarity and indifference. It’s just there, really. Just the head of Diogo Alves, whose claims to fame include being both Portugal’s first serial killer and the last man to be hanged. At least one half of each claim is true.
