I love your Alina Horror Series!! It's so cool and I love that the Darkling is portrayed as the monster he is. You are doing this fandom a great service, truly 😌🙏🏽
Thank you so much!!! 🥺😭🧡🧡🧡 It’s been really fun working on! It’s heavily inspired by Little Nightmares concept art, The Babadook, and mostly!!! The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howie 👁🕸 I always loved that book growing up!!
HOLDEN THE ALINA HORROR ART HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD THE THRID ONE IS PERMANENTLY INGRAINED INTO MY EYEBALLS
PFNAJDHAHA I HOPE THATS A GOOD THING LMAO!!!!! Originally I gave Alina the stag’s eyes as well but I was too creeped out and I think the symbolism was better with eyes marked out 😳🤘 which was ALSO cathartic to just swipe a brush over something and go ham
hi! your art is incredibly beautiful!!! i was wondering what the second to last piece is in the alina horrors post - it’s been a minute since i read the sab books and i can’t place the scene. anyway you are wildly talented and the fandom is lucky to have you creating such beautiful things
Thank you so much, this is so kind!! 🥺🧡🌷 I’m lucky to have people send me so many nice messages!!
That piece is actually from King of Scars ch. 27! It’s Zoya as a preteen holding a baby tiger and looking towards the Darkling. I went back to tag kos spoilers just in case, but the horror series will go over anything relevant from all the gv books. (I still haven’t read Rule of Wolves but 😭🤘)
Alina’s Horror Series (part 1/?)
I’m excited to finally share this here! :D Since I’ve been on a bit of a break, I’ll cap this and share until I’ve got the next pieces up!
This series aims to depict Alina’s relationship with the Darkling in a way that highlights the horrors that unfold as the story progresses— including his detrimental impact on others— as his legacy lives on in the shadows of his victims’ minds.
Fear is cautionary. Cautionary tales are made with fear for those we love. Let’s never confuse the two, even if they’re close when dancing with each other! Because this isn’t a love story babey :)
I also have a playlist if anyone is interested! ٩( ᐛ )و
