I made a school project on this painting.

After a short-lived one, here’s my monthly official. That’s my way now, one picture per month, à la @Accidental_Kills98

The Koroka. Here’s his description:
Koroka were once old stone lanterns, and are considered a type of “tsukumogami” (an item that has acquired a spirit.) When a stone lantern that has long remained in disuse is suddenly found lit of its own accord, this is said to be to work of Koroka, or possibly a sign that a Koroka is nearby. A Koroka’s flame strikes fear into the hearts of all who see it, for it is believed that these unlucky few will die within days.

While a Koroka has no face, a soft flame flickers where its head would be. However, witnesses have seen Koroka lift the pipe they wield to their flame the way a man might smoke his tobacco. One theory is that a Koroka’s pipe is somehow connected to the Yokai Realm, and they smoke it to inhale otherworldly fumes that fuel an incoming deadly attack.

Medium-difficulty enemies, but nice lore and appearance.

Time for a change. Went with this one I found that was supposedly made for a T-shirt. Credit to the artist, whoever they may be.

I had no idea it was fucking July already. The painting might change between now and the weekend by the way, I wanted to throw something up here until I have more time to do a proper write-up on an artist.

Looks like someone’s having a hard rock concert on Easter Island.

Ibaye - Wifredo Lam

Yeah sorry for being late (technically, I am actually early for Latin American Heritage Month by a day) for this month’s theme but I did pull through with what I guess you could consider to be very intersectional artist Wifredo Lam, an artist of Congolese, East Asian and Cuban decent. Someone with a broad range of Cubist-Surrealist art that would be informed by Santeria, the Negritude movement and Lam’s deep seeded desire to blend the world of the material with the realms of the spiritiual. More about the artist is below.

Been holding onto this one for almost six months, but for this year’s Halloween season, my image will be -

Heisenburger!

Edit: had to change it due to AI.

It’s crazy what AI image generation can do these days.

:wink:

I changed it to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Peanuts (the birthday of Snoopy was Yesterday, and the franchise turned 75 on October 2nd).

This also may or may not be foreshadowing.

Here’s a higher resolution, uncropped version of it!
