I will post some of my favorite artworks here. A few months ago, I made this rendition of the Clusterous Forest. It is ink on paper, appropriately. Attachments:

I really like this! The wreckage of the ships add so much to the drawing, and it's got great perspective.

Pretty cool. Gives me a better sense of the eerie, mysterious ambience the drained sea must create around Stain'd.

Here is another one I made, this time a blatant rip-off of Seth's style. Again, one of my older works. I drew it in pencil and digitally added color.

You say "Blatant rip-off of Seth's style", as though that's easy!
I really like your drawings. I think your style for these two has a very appropriate eerie vibe. You're part of a something I'm very glad to see - a wave of new artists reviving the fanart section of the board. A 667 renaissance, if you will.

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement! It's what motivates me to keep making artworks. Anyway, here are a couple from ASOUE. I made these for a "curiosity cabinet". One is supposed to be a tarot card from Madame Lulu's tent, and the other is my interpretation of Captain Sham's business card. (The lion does not exist as a tarot, by the way, I invented it to signify Olivia's end.)

First things first, I have to say that these drawings are cool. However, for the tarot card, you should have picked something not so on-the-nose.
By the way, this makes me wish for an ASOUE tarot card. With Lemony as the Hermit, for starters.

I like The Lion, especially since it doesn't exist in the Tarot, but very well could. It's also a Helquist-y way to portray Olivia's demise.
The colours and shading in the burning library picture are very nice, too.

Here is a closer look at the piece I used for my avatar. It's currently my favorite artwork. The Hotel Denouement was created almost entirely in photoshop, I used a photo of the "Jardin Des Plantes" for the base.

I expected the Hotel Denouement to be way taller than that, but it is still pretty good editing.
What is the "Summer is over and gone/dying" poem truly about? Is there some allegory?

I originally imagined it as much taller as well, but when I was researching descriptions of the hotel for my picture, I found this: (PP p.21) "...a row of windows with the number 9 emblazoned on each of their shutters. The row was very long, stretching out to the left and right of the Baudelaires, so far they couldn't see the end of it. Below this row of windows was another with the number 8 emblazoned on the shutters, and then another row with 7, and so on and so on, the numbers getting farther and farther away from the Baudelaires, all the way down to zero." I interpreted this to mean that the HD was only 9 stories tall. I thought I could get away with saying that my photo showed 9 stories... Although perhaps it is not distinct enough. Anyway, the poem comes from UA p. 167, it may be referenced somewhere else as well, but the location slips my mind at the moment... -Voxel

I think it's fairly safe to say that the Hotel Denouement is 9 stories tall, plus the basement and the roof, because its room system is based on the Dewey Decimal System and Frank/Ernest's description to the Baudelaires makes it clear that it's one floor per hundred numbers. Although maybe that means that "all the way down to zero" is a mistake because the 0 storey should be below ground and not visible from where the Baudelaires were. Anyway, I like your image of it and I think it makes a nice avatar.
