Quoth The Raven-Quest 13 Some Words With a Mummy.

 

My friend Mark over at Spesh Ink pointed me in the direction to a wonderful Dark and Gothic Site....Quoth the Raven, Nevermore. A poe inspired site with some wonderfully Dark and Erie Challenges, which are oh so very me. The challenge of the theme posted is " Some Words with a Mummy". You are to create an art piece using the masters tale as inspiration.

 

Quote: "Come to me, by all means, my dear good friend, as soon as you receive this. Come and help us to rejoice. At last, by long persevering diplomacy, I have gained the assent of the Directors of the City Museum, to my examination of the Mummy --- you know the one I mean. I have permission to unswathe it and open it, if desirable. A few friends only will be present -- you, of course. The Mummy is now at my house, and we shall begin to unroll it at eleven tonight".

 

So here is my offering to the master in depiction of the tale told to which the Master doth favour.

 

 

KEY TO HAMUNAPTRA.

The key to Hamunaptra which fits into the cover of the Book of the Dead to ressurect life.Guarded and sacred to the mummy who wishes to return from the afterlife. The key was constructed in card from a template. The ancient mummy of which now remains only a skeleton and delicately wrapped in embalmed bandages. Dare we use the key to open the book of the dead and bring the Mummy back from the Afterlife?

A fun challenge in which I will definately participate again. Thanks Mark.......

Chain me up Chain me Down HDH152

Over at the Haunted Design House for the Macabre Monday Challenge this week you are to create a dark art piece that has something to do with Chains, Shackles or Bondage. I immediately thought Mmm Werewolf, Chained, Full Moon..........Lovely. So here is my offering for the challenge this week.

 

 

 

BAD MOON RISING.

This piece was created entirely digitally in Photoshop after scouring my external hard drive for some Dark and Gothic Images I have collected over the years. Hope this piece is acceptable for this weeks challenge. Had a blast creating in my comfort zone of the Dark and Mysterious.

"I'm Melting" Macabre Monday Haunted Design House Challenge.

The theme this week over at Haunted Design House is to base your project around melted wax, candles, witches, or melted flesh.

 

TOTAL MELTDOWN.

I opted to make a cut and paste ATC again this week.The ATC was made using the Tim Holtz ATC die amd mountboard.. The background was created in photoshop using elements and brushes from my stash. The melting head is an actual photograph of a Halloween mask scanned in and manipulated in Photoshop with the body of a vintage image attached. Printed everything out. Then attached the background to the mountboard ATC base. Cut the head and body out and glued to the ATC. Voila a pretty creepy specimen indeed. Thanks again for another great challenge this week.

" OH MY GOURD" Haunted Design House Challenge.

I haven't participated in a challenge for quite awhile and thought I'd jump in and give this one a go. It's all down to my friend Mark over at SPESH INK for the inspiration to participate. The theme this week over at Haunted Design House is to base your project around Pumpkins. So here's my contribution to this weeks challenge.

 

I have made a cut and paste ATC. The ATC was made using the Tim Holtz ATC die. The background was created in photoshop using elements and brushes from my stash. Mr Scary Pumpkin Head was also created in photoshop with the body of a vintage image attached. Cut the body and head out and glued to the ATC. Glossy accents was then applied to the Pumpkin Head to give dimension. A fun challenge will have to participate again. Thanks Mark.

My Most Recent Digital Work.

Well I have been real busy since my last post. I have a lot to show creativity wise that is, but far too much for one post. So I will be showcasing over three yes three consective posts. So here we go with the first. Apart from the first image shown all others in this post have a Gothic/ Halloween element to them. That time of year is nearly upon us again and I must say I am quite partial to the Dark side in my Digital Art. The Designers over at Deviant Scrap  have some Wonderfully Wicked Kits in the Store for all your Halloween Projects. So hop on over and have a look. The links to the kits I have used are below the artwork for your convenience if you want to check them out for yourselves. So here we go.............
