Weekly illustration 2025: 4/52
Going back to this illustration I did in September β it was another case of "loved the idea, was not happy with my execution, though".
But I guess now is a good time to talk about a little detail about these weekly illustrations. It is a self-imposed challenge I've been doing for four full years now (2025 would be the fifth year of doing it). In 2024 I did all the illustration in vertical aspect ratio, but this time I've been doing both vertical and horizontal.
...now, there is actually a reason what dictates whether the illustration I'm making is vertical or horizontal this year. Can you guess what that reason is?

It wasnβt, but as soon as she could take a look inside she saw another Antanai standing not too far away. She slipped into the long corridor as fast as she could and before the door would slam shut she stopped it with her telekinesis. She then turned back to the Antanai hoping that they wouldnβt realise anything. But the Antanai was looking at a painting of some sort and it kinda felt like she was totally absorbed in thoughts.Good for Nilena! She tried to sneak her way to another door yet again praying it wouldnβt make any noise. She got lucky! One fast look into the next corridor to make sure there wouldnβt be anyone else and then she slipped in. Nilena turned around watching the other Antanai. She was really curious why the other Antanai seemed to be totally lost in thoughts gazing at the painting but she couldnβt quite make out what exactly it was depicting from this angle.Suddenly the temperature fell rapidly. It got so cold that Nilena could even see her own breath. And not only she felt it, even the other Antanai got startled and turned around instantly. βWhat?β she mumbled.In the blink of an eye Nilena saw something she couldβve never had imagined. Purple stains formed on the floor, the wall. Something emerged out of those weird things. First it looked like a weird smoke or fog but then it started to form something... No! somebody...Three different apparitions and they more and more took the form of Antanai even a Panai. They totally surrounded the Antanai and got closer to her. βNo! No! Please!β she stuttered when suddenly she turned and started to run away. She didnβt get far though, she was pulled about a meter above ground by something and then she was slammed into the wall with such force that she couldnβt do anything any more. Her dazed body fell hard to the ground.βTake her awayβ¦β something said. It sounded as if it came from anywhere yet nowhere. Never had Nilena heard or seen whatever it was that happened right before her eyes. All of a sudden the purple shine came back. This time directly under the still stunned Antanai. She then fell through the floor. Apparently the shock was strong enough that her senses came back for just a moment. She desperately tried to get a hold on the floor with her claws but got pulled into that purple mass further and further. She screamed and after she was swallowed whole it sounded as if she was falling down somewhere and her scream faded out more and more until you couldn't hear anything any more. Then two of the three shadows jumped into it too. But one held back. It seemed to listen. The ears twitched in every direction and it even turned around. Did it sense Nilena? Did it knew that she was there too? On the spot Nilena turned around and ran away. She ran as fast as she could. She didnβt even care about any chance to run head first into another patrol. She just ran! She wanted to get away from itβ¦ Just away!..."trophygif
