Watain’s own Wolf Wear exclusive edition of the “The Wild Hunt” box set.
Far from the best album but this special edition contains total darkess and chaos!

“The baron ripped at the reins again. His eyes falling on his hands. He watched in silent horror as his own appearance changed. The once bright metal of his armor darkened, lost its shine and took on a ghostly, purple glow. The chain mail melted into dark shadows. Any leftover warmth he had felt, bleed from his body. With a panic, he realized he couldn’t feel his heartbeat.” - from Caught In the Hunt, @miakoenigspython‘s fic for the Invisobang Minibang
Really excited to share my piece for the Invisobang Minibang, for miakoenigspython’s fic Caught in the Hunt which shows the origin of the Fright Night :)
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! It was hard to pick a scene and I wanted to do it justice.
Will update with links to her fic once she posts it!

“The Dreamer” by The Tallest Man On Earth
If there is any artist I have been wanting to blog about for a long time, it’s The Tallest Man On Earth, otherwise known as Kristian Matsson. Commonly compared to Bob Dylan - this Swedish artist really knows how to caress his guitar, whilst belting out raw, poetic tunes.
Not one to love the spotlight, The Tallest Man On Earth carries a certain mystery. We don’t know much about Kristian other than his music - which adds a certain significance and a greater pulchritude to his sound.
He is rightfully crowned The King Of Spain - which is evident in his music.
I chose to blog about “The Dreamer”, as it stands out from the rest of the songs on “The Wild Hunt”, and I have a personal connection to the lyrics. My favourite line would have to be: “just enough dark to see how you’re the light over me.” Sometimes the difficult times in life make you realise how amazing some individuals are. The hard times create a contrast between loving individuals and pessimism. People can be your light, your hope and your guidance.
I’m just a dreamer but I’m hanging on
Though I am nothing big to offer
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
It’s like nothing in this world’s ever still
And I’m just a shadow of your thoughts in me
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
It’s like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can’t that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you’re the light over me
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won’t be old
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can’t that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you’re the light over me
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can’t that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you’re the light over me
There will be five versions of this character, old, young, mature, this -doll face- character and a study based on the game version. To be honest, I am not so sure about this one, but it was fun to paint it

If I wasn’t on the Eredin train before, I certainly am now.

What song are they playing on their way to disappoint Eredin.

The Wild Hunt by Duncan Fegredo and Dave Stewart (2008)
“Nah yeah, this is a beaut, mate! Reckon you’re almost as good as me now…almost”
I was watching Our Flag Means Death when I was figuring out what Aiden looked like, so now I can only picture him with a New Zealand accent
