Guidelines

  1. Titles should be in the format "Title" by Artist
    • If adding the artists social media handle after their name, use [square brackets]
    • If adding a year after the title, use (parenthetical brackets)
    • If posting your own art, preface the title with [OC]
  2. Please include the original source in the post body
  3. This community is meant for showcasing artists' work - this excludes
    • AI generated artwork
    • Screenshots from films or games
  4. Submitting the link from the original source instead of downloading and rehosting is recommended
    • This will ease server stress on smaller lemmy instances
    • /!\ Many mobile apps don't generate previews unless the url ends with a common file extension /!\
    • Therefore, if possible, please strip all parameters after .png, .jpg, etc.
  5. Mark posts as NSFW when necessary (nudity/violence)

This is a challenge that I did with some friends in the discord of adapting the tale "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. I imagined the characters as part of a cult that worships the Mask of the Red Death and performs rituals through the rooms with different colors from the abbey, each representing a different stage of life.

Source: No Entrance (by A. Shipwright - ArtStation):

Paperboys, boy scouts, salesmen, mailmen, outer gods from the colonies.
What I hate the most.
Those disrupters of the peaceful daily life.
I refuse them all.
There's no exception.
My mother-in-law too was killed off like that last week.
