Meeting of the Children ✦✦✦ Merfolk do also exist in the Aynbath universum. They are the hidden swimming beings afar from all the landwalkers. Embedded in a huge free world beyond the shores, unknown to most. Their bodies do slowly shapeshift over the decades, always adjusting to their state of conciousness and character. Infinite are the breedings and compositions between them.. every single one unique and powerful. #mermaid #scenery #scenerypainting #merfolk #landscapepainting #landscapeart #painting #art #darkart #aynbath --- https://aynbath.com/

Aufbruch ✦✦✦ "That smell after the summer rain, this air so fragrant with the scent of wet soil and moss. The shimmering reflections of the cloudy sky in those tiny puddles. l sense the slight breeze on the skin of my face and feel at ease."

Banishment of the Hydra ✦✦✦ "The ever regrowing mess of winding snake heads. The flood coming back over and over again in a wild manner, penetrating every hole and weakness. You think you reduced it or did get something done, but shortly after the hydra comes back even more manifold. It crawls in undetected in every moment of carelessness..
You can become free, torching the clutter of wiggling bodies, by emptying yourself completely.. Creating an impenetrable aureole of clarity."

Tarot Magician V2 ✦✦✦ This artwork is my personal version of The Magician card from the classic Major Arcana of the Tarot. The character is the Protagonist of one of my story lines, which includes the Rain Sequence and more to come.. This illustration is a pair with The Star (which is placed above him and from which the feminine flowing energy of life is coming down in a whirl and feeds the mage). Shortly after being created it was and is my best seller on conventions. The artwork itself includes a drawn frame which is giving the artwork a more noble look in a full simple frame. For this artwork a passepartout is not recommended.

“The Magician card is numbered One – the number of new beginnings and opportunities – and associates with the planet of Mercury. He stands with one arm stretched upwards towards the Universe, and the other pointing down to the earth. His positioning represents his connection between the spiritual realms and the material realms. The Magician uses this relationship to create and manifest his goals in the physical realm. He is the conduit that converts energy into matter.”
Biddy Tarot

“In short The Magus represents the step from dependence (passivity) to self-awareness (action). All the outside forces which try to shape us into their image or make us dependent and comfortable bury the inner or true will under layers of confusion and disorientation. To awake the Magus within oneself the net of layers must be ripped off to see clearly (even if it is just for a moment). Only then we can reshape our routines and cycles to a better outcome. In this context the phoenix would be a similar symbol.”

Frozen Finding ✦✦✦ "l found a sleeping lady in the frozen sea water. She looked all peaceful and sublime. A face too pretty to not fall in love. Her neck and arms were covered with shimmering jewelry. And there l stood, freezing and struck by awe. I really didn't know what to do! Release her with my axe by destroying this mirroring surface above her and banish this otherworldly charm or just walk away and resume my journey..." --- "I decided to reluctantly wander on. Relieved but also wistful. I didn't have any answers - only countless questions. Who was she? Was she caged there or just waiting? Was she human at all? Nothing did I know but much did I feel in my chest. I forced myself to continue my crunching steps, a cold wind in my face. May she be well and not be discovered by the unworthy.."

Mašarru Avian Transformation ✦✦✦ Cover of the second chapter of the webcomic Masarru. --- Her feet loose ground. Arms and legs hurt in a twisting transformation while scales pierce her skin. The shiny white mask crushes under the pressure. Radiant awareness and perception flows out of the cage of her former head and expands into a streaming cloud. The dark flickering sphere in her hands drags as if it was to escape.

Totholz Walker ✦✦✦ Once it was one of the old meditating tree giants, watching over a big part of the wild woods of the world. For a thousand years at least. But then slow death came through countless mandibles, teeth and hyphae... ♦: Merged with the soul of a interred eldar-blooded forest dweller a Totholz Guard is created so the two serve the woods as a scary deterrent and powerful hand of protection. Especially the humans are scared to death and will hardly ever enter again. Many myths surround them in one form or another.
