Painting for Obliskura

In alchemy, putrefactio is the crucial stage of decomposition and rotting where old forms break down completely. Represented by the blackening or nigredo, this process reduces materials to a uniform black mass. It is the essential death of the old before spiritual or physical rebirth.

An older work of mine from 2016, acrylic on canvas. Ishtar is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess, sometimes referred to as the "Queen of Heaven."

From my zodiac signs series, I hope you like it!

I recently illustrated this tiefling adventuring party sharing stories around a campfire after a successful quest.

One is an illusionist who never stops talking. Another hunts monsters for coin. One is rumored to be the Devil's bride. There's also a noblewoman, a bat-eared troublemaker, and a tattooed devil who offers power in exchange for souls.

Honestly, drawing parties like this is one of my favorite things about D&D.

Which character would your adventurer sit next to by the fire?

For anyone curious:

Acuity: illusionist

Aria: Devil's bride

Mara: knight mercenary

Vigil: noblewoman

Ripley: troublemaker

Mistidae: contract devil

Zodiac signs : Sagittarius / Sagittaire ♐

The sign of Sagittarius is a fallen entity, cursed with an insatiable hunger, feeding on souls to survive.

At night, it haunts ancient ruins and hunts any creature that crosses its path..
