[CR] Honey, could you turn off the light?

A simple task turned nightmarish!

Our evenings revolve around the sometimes eerie illumination of the common lamp. While staring off into the nothingness of @caffetto’s crimson dripped walls. I slowly withdrew my thoughts, blinking a few times until my attention fell on the lamp before me. I began to image a hand surfacing from the lamp shade. It fluttered it’s finger tips, then slithered and coil around to turn the off switch. What a frightful idea!

What if you were asked to turn this lamp off?

Let’s think of it from the B side. Image if you had reached out into the darkness to turn it on. As you fumble to find the switch, your hand bumps against something oddly familiar. You hear the click and boast in your success... that is until your eyes narrow, frozen on a bizarre outstretched limb.

I had process gifs that I wanted to share but Imgur is experiencing issues so I’ll wait to add them back into the post later.

Again, for this image I used the reed and hessian brush which are both listed under the organic tab. I like the look of the lines created with the reed brush because they’re heavy in some areas and I’m able to sketch loosely. As the image progressed I thickened the size of the line and the drawing grew darker and darker. Finishing the look with soft gradient shading using the hessian brush.
