Ophelia (1851-52), John Everett Millais x

Kate is dead and ashes now. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, nothing left of what she was, nothing to prove she was ever real, not even a portrait like beautiful waterlogged Ophelia. No one paints burnings. Can’t pretty them up, can’t add flowers and vines and call it artistic. 

The Story of Nagastio degli Onesti (1483), Sandro Botticelli x

Over the months, as he conned his way into Adler’s good graces, Neal noticed more about Kate. She pinned her hair into a messy bun with a pencil when she worked late. Her favorite artist was Michelangelo, but her favorite artwork was Botticelli’s The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (c. 1560), Pieter Bruegel the Elder x

He’s a flight risk, apparently. He already flew, already fell. He’s Icarus, face down in the water in Bruegel’s landscape.

Spirit (1885), George Roux x

I love doing a good creature and, since I'm a Fallout fan who loves a good cyberdog, I decided to take a shot at the CBR-S units from the cancelled Fallout Van Buren (slightly recycling some of my old Hounds of Tindalos into the mix while I was grabbing different 'robot dogs' for inspiration - mostly Friender from Casshern, since you can't go wrong with the OG, but AMEE from Red Planet and BigDog from real life as well). I liked the lineless roughs so much that I had to add them in as well, along with the different 'alt' colors I ended up with along the way.

Forgot I did a Kaiju design two years ago, complete with references for the sake of commissions, and then never posted it despite the amount of effort/detail put in. Fixing that now! Kind of wish I had a better name for her than 'Ultra' (because she took more than a few influences from Ultraman along with Pacific Rim). Ultra Wavewalker is a secondary name at the moment, but not exactly applicable to this version of the character, but it can all get polished and improved with time.

So yeah here we go with 'Mandalore the Eyesore' /j.

I just think that picking up a Mewtwo like a housecat would fix them, especially if they used to be Shadow Mewtwo. Scrungle that baby god kitty.
