A murdered god, a hollow in the world, home to shrimp and moths; monks warring termite hordes.

6/2 - 12/2 #dungeon23

Technically not a dungeon. Still: caves! Lit by a glowing underground sun, that is also the egg of a world-ending thing.

A subterranean region under the coastal one from January, and the remainder of the parts of the God-In-Pieces. I still can't write mega-dungeons, but I can bluff my way into some semblance of continuity!

Was pleased with the egg-heart that has a war-god gestating inside---it's an apocalypse clock that ticks according whatever shenanigans (particularly violences) you get up to in the wider world.

Also pleased with the image of the pit with a set of teeth just visible in it. And that it is an oracle that lies---but lies predictably, so still functions as an oracle if you are persistent.

(Miffed I made a mistake in the text, though! First time I had to cross shit out, this entire #dungeon23 ... I was so careful, dammit!)

Had trouble posing the cavern-body. Wanted a foetal position, but I tried and tried and couldn't get him laid out in a way that wasn't a bitch to draw.

Finally surrendered to the classic hanged-man pose. But it is the right one, ultimately. Suitably portentous.

Still poor at illustrative composition, I feel? But the line-work appears to flow better, easier, maybeee~~~???

Still having fun.
