Legends, fear, and wonder.

Not far from my home town, near Mt. Misery Rd. there is a legend of an apparition which has haunted that area as far back as the earliest Native American stories of that place. First it was the Thunder Bird, but now it is called the Mothman, though this is a misrepresentation, it has never been described to look like a moth. Though it's large peering eyes alight with a predatory glare, have always been there to stare into our failures, and to revel in our suffering. It has always been seen with strange lights in the sky, and more often in later tales awkward men in black. The Natives would not go near the hill, and the majority are peculiar pine barrens. Wealthy people live in the surrounding area, and there are horse trails, knowing nothing of it and being there in the day still seems unnervingly wrong. Even if there is no more Thunder Bird something not right has left a scar on that part of the world.

Can a will of Iron grasp what is Impossible.

His home land under siege by predators of the sky, can a people of agriculture and peace survive. And when fighting from the ground seems ineffective, can Ilya rise to defend the land of his people. Is the desire to win enough to secure victory, or will all the players in this tragedy fall down reaching for the sky.

Phantom Marry, Horror Sketch Card

Phantom Mary is based on an urban legend, or a series of such legends to be more specific about Bloody Mary of Sweet Hollow Road . Some say she and her husband were newlyweds when they died in a car accident on this road. Some say she was thrown out of the car by her boyfriend and another car ran her over before she was able to get up and get out of the way. Yet others say she was stoned or hung for witchcraft.

This here, is a sketch card of Bloody Marry I did in ink and marker.
