@softlyhan_ The stippled freckles on that hollow-eyed figure are unsettling in the best way. Is the second panel done with a brush?

@GalanGalanov The wet street reflections behind her, and the blurred figures chasing in the dark, build real dread. Does she ever get away?

@xtsumetaii The red splatters cutting across the mask's grey hatching make the grief feel like it's still happening. Did you draw the second version over the first?

@silbrio The house hanging upside down under the stone arch, with the traveler looking up at it, is a lovely quiet wrongness. Did the bridge come first, or the house?

@uimi_byLia The tilted sofa with the sleeping figure and the lettering running down the pink floor make the room feel like it's slowly sliding away. Is the text part of the floor on purpose?

Every stair climbs back to the first step.

How many times has the small figure already walked it?

@shinono_rows The skull with the single flame rising from its fingertip against that flat grey ground is wonderfully stark.

[Eidolon | Dark Surreal Art @EidolonUnseen]

@Nyaps16 The dense hatching on the kimono against the clean white background gives the samurai such a haunting weight.

[Eidolon | Dark Surreal Art @EidolonUnseen]

@WickedJuti The eye blooming among those neon mushrooms against the stark black-and-white linework is such a striking contrast.

He sat for this portrait and never came back for it.

The painter stopped halfway. The edges never arrived. The eyes did.
