Under the shrouded sky of a blood-red eclipse, she stands — the ancient witch of Blackspire Keep. Cloaked in black and violet furs, her glowing eyes pierce through the mist as if searching for the next soul to claim. Behind her, the towering Transylvanian castle looms against the eclipse-lit clouds, its spires ablaze with unnatural light. The frozen forest below lies silent, as though even the wind dares not trespass into her domain. In the breath between shadow and moonlight, she is both queen and curse — the embodiment of a night that will never end.

In the heart of the forest, where the sun forgets to rise and the mists never fully lift, she sings.
Lirael, the twilight enchantress, drifts between song and silence — her voice weaving through the trees like golden thread. With eyes that shimmer like emerald stars and a presence as old as moonlight, she calls not with words, but with melody. The leaves tremble at her harmony, the air glows with floating notes, and even time seems to pause in reverence.
She does not summon with seduction.
She beckons with remembrance —
of forgotten dreams, ancient bonds, and wild magic that still listens.
Some say those who follow her song never return.
Others say they never wanted to.
P.S. I have finalized my artist statement and have a press release all ready for my show which is now just over a month away! There is a Facebook Event page set up for it that is public, so even those who don't use FB should be able to see it (just click the blue words back there). I suppose it's time to finalize what is going in the show, eh? Yeah, I'm totally freaking the fuck out, but in a good way. :)
P.P.S. I'm trying out Google+, but am pretty overwhelmed there by all the photography/art network explosion. Could be a great thing, but it's like woah! right now. But, I have invites so if you want to come check it out and need an invite, let me know (flickr mail me the email address I should send the invite to, I guess).

Born in the death of oceans, Brinehearth is a dragon of blistering salt and ancient heat. Its wings stretch like sun-scorched kelp, and its breath doesn't burn — it dries, turning seas to saltflats and forests to dust.
Legends say it once slumbered beneath a sunken reef, feeding on shipwrecks and coral bones. But when the tides vanished, it rose — bringing desolation in waves of blistering wind.
Now, wherever it roams, the rain flees and the ground remembers nothing but thirst.
A ruin of scale and flame, echoing the end of all tides.

The Throne Series
She sits cloaked in silence, framed by storm-carved stone and flickering arcs of violet lightning. The Witchstorm Queen, dark herald of forbidden knowledge, reigns from a throne sculpted in forgotten tongues. Her eyes shimmer with arcane malice — not born of wrath, but of centuries spent mastering forces even the gods have abandoned.
Her gown is a symphony of shadow and crimson: layered silks, enchanted lace, and glimmering sigils pulse from her corset like veins of a living spell. Arcane energy coils from her shoulders and sleeves, crackling with spectral electricity — each thread charged with ancestral memory. Blackened metal jewelry and bloodstone gems pulse faintly across her chest and throat like sacred wards... or traps.
She does not raise her voice.
She does not need to move.
Her will is written in lightning, and her throne is the storm.

Based on a new Dinkie Outfit done by my friend in Second Life for Dinkies.
"Whiskers & The Golden Catch"
In the soft glow of dawn, Whiskers—the legendary fishercat—stands ready at the edge of a misty lake. Clad in rugged camo gear and his lucky feathered hat, he waits patiently for the perfect bite. With a heart full of adventure and a tackle box full of tales, Whiskers isn’t just fishing—he’s chasing stories written on ripples. Whether it’s a quiet morning or a grand catch, every moment at the water’s edge is part of his timeless journey. A tribute to the calm, the craft, and the cat who made fishing a lifestyle.

In the strobing aftermath of a dying star, Voidhowl Machina awakens. Forged in the darkest chambers of a forgotten AI warforge, this biomechanical wraith is the echo of countless failed experiments. Its obsidian exoskeleton bristles with coiled circuitry and armor, laced with glowing violet conduits that pulse like a synthetic heartbeat. The gaping maw, lined with razorsharp fangs, emits a perpetual, silent scream — a fractured signal lost between frequencies of pain and rage. Its eyes, burning neon with ghostcode, scan the void not for purpose… but for prey.

Beneath a violet-tinged sky where the light of a colossal planet bleeds across the horizon, a lone astronaut stands poised on alien ground. The terrain is cracked and glowing with veins of molten pink lava, painting the landscape in a surreal glow that pulses like the beat of a sleeping world. Jagged mountains loom in the distance, shrouded in mist, their silhouettes breaking the dreamlike haze.
The astronaut’s suit is a seamless fusion of vintage NASA-era design and sleek cyberpunk augmentation — matte black armored plating with glowing violet conduits running through its joints and seams. Neon accents pulse along the limbs and chest in rhythmic intervals, as if synced with a distant signal. The helmet is smooth and fully reflective, tinted with a dark chrome finish, casting back distorted reflections of the strange, breathtaking world before them.
Wires, tubes, and compact tech modules wrap the figure's silhouette, balanced between practicality and aesthetic — a traveler engineered for survival, style, and mystery. The atmosphere flickers with static and glowing embers, and the astronaut stands not as a visitor, but as if answering a call — drawn to something ancient, buried, or awakening beneath the surface of Echo-7.

To the west of Velhmorath Prime, beyond the obsidian gates and the blood-forged causeways, lie the Ashen Plains — a scorched wasteland carved by the eternal breath of the Blackened Suns. Rivers of molten fire cut through the cracked earth, their glow painting the horizon in hues of wrath. Here, the air tastes of iron and ash, and the ground trembles beneath the march of the Shadow Dominion’s war legions.
Legends say this land was once fertile, until the Eclipsed Empress decreed its burning during the War of Nine Moons. The blaze never faded. Now, colossal spires of basalt rise from the plains like jagged spears, each crowned with black fortresses manned by her sentinels — warriors who do not sleep, whose armor has fused with their very bones.
To cross the Ashen Plains is to step into the Empress’s gaze. Even the wind carries her whispers here, curling around travelers like chains. Many have tried to cross in secret; none have returned with their minds intact.

“She is the hush before a dying star, the flame that refuses to flicker, the last prayer whispered in shadow.”
Vaelith Serkara is an ancient and enigmatic figure, her name spoken only in whispers within the tomb-temples and ruin-bound monasteries of the forgotten lands. Cloaked in ceremonial robes darker than void, and adorned with relics that pulse with embers of extinct suns, she is both priestess and sentinel—a living archive of forgotten rites and forbidden truths.
Her skin is porcelain-pale, veined with black sigils etched not in ink, but in the language of flame and silence. Golden-orange emberstones glint from her towering headdress, casting flickers of warmth upon her otherwise solemn features. Her eyes burn like sealed coals, unreadable yet all-seeing, as though they carry the memory of every eclipse that ever scarred the heavens.
Her voice, rarely heard, is said to still storms and awaken spirits. To behold her in prayer is to witness a moment suspended between life and death, light and shadow. She is neither fully mortal nor divine—her body a vessel for the remnants of a dying celestial order, her soul bound by vow to a flame that no longer burns.
Vaelith is the Keeper of the Obsidian Eclipse, a sacred post that grants her dominion over what lies between light and dark. She does not seek worship, only remembrance. Through her, the last rites are spoken for dead worlds, and the threshold between existence and oblivion is tended by steady, sacred hands.

From the storm-lashed depths where sunlight dies and pressure crushes all life, the Abyssal Leviathan rises—an ancient behemoth born of tides and terror. Its body, forged of brine-slicked muscle and bioluminescent sinew, surges with serpentine limbs and churning power. Eyes of glowing cerulean pierce the darkness, casting dread across crashing waves. Seaweed coils like tendrils in its crown of coral horns, while the sea rages around its monolithic form. With each thunderous step, water breaks into walls, lightning dances through stormclouds, and ships are dragged whole into the deep. It is the ocean's wrath made flesh—a tidal god of annihilation, both majestic and monstrous.

Deep in the mist-choked swamps where lanterns fail and trails sink into water, Mirebell walks.
Small, mossy, and luminous-eyed, she resembles a child-sized toad draped in reeds and rot—yet there is something hauntingly human in the way she holds her jar of trapped marshlight.
Mirebell doesn’t speak with her own voice. She uses yours. Or someone you miss. Or someone you failed.
She sings lullabies in your mother's voice, begs in your brother’s.
She means no harm. Probably.
But follow her… and the swamp keeps your name.

Once a noble dark elf prince, Vael'theron forsook his mortal crown in a ritual of eternal loyalty to Lady Nyxariel. In doing so, he became wraith-bound — sustained not by blood or breath, but by covenant. His heart no longer beats; it lies entombed in a soul-crystal beneath Nyxariel’s throne.
He commands with silence and strikes with inevitability. Among the Queen's forces, his name is sacred. Among her enemies, it is the final omen.
“I do not speak of victory. I speak of certainty.”
— Vael’theron Veyne

When suns collapse and galaxies fracture, his shadow is the first to fall across the stars. Known only in whispers etched into dead comets and forgotten psalms, Mournveil walks the threshold between annihilation and memory — an eternal reaper forged in the cold marrow of dying worlds.
Clad in baroque gothic armor, veiled in void-wrought robes, and wielding a scythe carved from the bones of fallen moons, he marks the hour of universal reckoning. Behind him, the final sun burns red — not in defiance, but in surrender.
Time ends where his gaze begins.

Bathed in shadows and sacred circuitry, the Veiled Sentinel emerges — a cybernetic priest of forgotten realms. Its gilded skull glows with arcane light, eyes pulsing with cosmic energy, as threads of luminous data drip like divine tears. The embroidered hood, woven with sigils and starlight, shrouds a visage forged in both elegance and dread. Behind, a blurred celestial aurora hums with the quiet echoes of galaxies long extinguished.
This piece explores the fusion of spiritual mysticism and transhuman enigma, wrapped in an aesthetic of rich purples, obsidian gold, and ceremonial ornamentation.

In the cursed heart of Witherwood — where no birds sing and the fog never lifts — walks Vaelira Duskthorn, an ancient tiefling enchantress and highborn warlord of infernal descent. Her ashen skin is smooth as polished marble, interrupted only by arcane scars etched from centuries of blood pacts. Twin horns, black as voidsteel, crown her like a living diadem. Her flame-lit eyes pierce through darkness, burning with the hunger of forgotten gods.
Vaelira’s armor is a masterwork of demonic finery: deep crimson sleeves bound to a black leather bodice laced with silver filigree, wrapped in golden chainwork and set with blood-red stones that pulse like a second heartbeat. Her jewelry isn’t mere ornament — each gem is a sealed soul, each earring a trophy of conquest.
She is the keeper of forbidden paths, the seductress of damned kings, and the last voice many hear before eternity swallows them whole. In her presence, the forest bends... and lesser demons kneel.

Rising beyond the veil of mortal space and time, Aetherion stands suspended in the celestial aether — a vast, golden city of divine proportions, crowned by a radiant sun-core that pulses like a beating heart. Towering spires made of gold-veined whitestone reach into the galactic sky, piercing stardust and nebulae. The entire city is cast in eternal sunrise, where shadow is banished and light bends in worship.
Enormous bridges of starlit crystal arc across the void, connecting floating sanctums, temples, and celestial towers. These structures radiate harmony, geometry, and sacred proportion — built not with stone, but with intent, light, and the language of stars.
At the center, the Throne of the Flame rises like a supernova turned to form. Pillars of sunfire spiral skyward. A gate of blinding light — the Solar Veil — marks the entrance to the chamber of Solenyra, flanked by guardians of plasma and prayer.
Below, gravity wells cascade into glowing waterfalls of pure energy. White-winged creatures soar through the golden mist, while tiny figures in holy robes walk the radiant causeways in pilgrimage.
Above, galaxies swirl slowly across a painted sky, as if even the cosmos itself orbits this place.

Emerging from a realm where death is merely a doorway, the Lich Warden strides through the storm-torn ruins of a forgotten kingdom. Cloaked in tattered shadows and bound by chains of arcane silver, his skeletal frame radiates dark sorcery. In his decayed hand swings the Lantern of Souls — a vessel of cursed light glowing with an eerie green and purple hue, capturing the spirits of the fallen. Lightning fractures the sky in shades of violet, casting stark light over the towering gothic spires of a long-abandoned citadel. Crows circle in the distance, drawn to the power that once ruled these lands. This is no ghost or myth — he is death eternal, the keeper of what lies beyond the veil.

Vel’Zyra, born in the heart of the Black Pyre beneath the world’s crust, is the high demoness of conquest and seduction. Her crimson skin glows faintly beneath her obsidian armor, which is shaped like living shadow — carved to both allure and strike fear into those who gaze upon her. Elegant, curled horns rise like a crown of war, and her long black hair flows with an unnatural wind, a harbinger of incoming death.
She walks the battlefield as a vision of ruin — bodies strewn at her feet, their souls already claimed by her cursed blade, “Dreadkiss.” Every step she takes turns ash to cinder, and the skies darken with the smoke of fallen kingdoms. Her presence is hypnotic and terrible, whispering promises of pleasure and pain in equal measure.
Vel’Zyra is not merely a demoness — she is war incarnate, a sovereign of devastation and seduction, whose touch burns flesh and tempts even angels to fall.

Inspired by Starry Night and The War Of The Worlds
under a sky of swirling stars, the first breath of the invasion began.
Beneath a sky alive with swirling constellations and rivers of painted light, the Martian cylinder lay silent — half-buried in the earth like a fallen fragment of some alien moon. The heavens danced in Van Gogh’s brushstrokes, yet all beauty bent toward the ominous shape at the field’s heart. From its curved metal shell came the slow, deliberate grind of the great end cap turning, unscrewing with a sound that seemed to ripple through the very stars above. Steam curled into the night in luminous spirals, mingling with the cosmic swirls overhead, as if the universe itself was holding its breath for what would emerge.

To finalize my bike week, I bring you another new bike. This one is special to me as the colors and overall appeal really landed as I hoped it would. Now I hope to wake up tommorow and find a 10 times bigger version in the garage ;-)
This FLHR type Harley has a twincam 96 cu engine and sixspeed gearbox. This setup origins from 2008.
There are a fair number of modifications on this custom bike. First of all there is a lot of chromed extra's including part of the fuel tank. The final drive is changed from a belt to a chain, and custom bags are added that host some massive custom exhausts.
This is a true 'bagger', as these types of Harley's are often reffered to.

A massive, stealth-designed steampunk airship — the Wraithgale — rests silently in its berth at Port Ashveil, a skyport hidden in a sea of fog. The ship’s hull is matte-black and jagged, blending so naturally into the rusted iron docks and smoke-choked towers that it appears grown from the very architecture. Thick power cables and docking struts snake into its spine, as if the port feeds from the vessel instead of the other way around.
The port is a maze of elevated walkways, soot-stained gantries, and suspended platforms, lit by flickering gaslamps and powered by arcane reactors deep beneath the fog. Massive mooring towers loom in the background, barely visible through the haze. No banners, no crests — just utility, iron, silence.
The Wraithgale glows faintly from a few dim ports and brass-rimmed windows, as though breathing in its sleep. Its lower deck bristles with silent ballistas and folded retractable wings. Nearby engineers in soot-covered gear perform silent maintenance under the shadow of lightning towers.
The whole image breathes secrecy and purpose — a shadow waiting to take flight.

Upon a silken throne of runes and velvet, the Familiar rests — not idle, but eternal. Within its gaze burns the knowledge of forgotten spells, and around its neck glows the sigil of true insight. In this sacred hall of books and flame, even silence has memory.

It watches the world between worlds.

In the golden hush of the Hourless Garden, where petals drift but never land, she is known only as the Upper Petal — the first breath of the Garden’s stillness, and its most beautiful silence.
Woven from memory-soft blossoms and the gentlest kind of refusal, her presence is not a command, but an invitation: stay, breathe, forget the weight of becoming. She does not speak in words, but in warmth and softness — a lullaby made flesh.
Her gaze is closed, yet it sees. Her hand, raised in devotion or farewell, never finishes its gesture. Around her, the bloom stills. Even time forgets its forward motion in her presence.
“You do not need to change. You already are enough.
She is the Garden’s breath — the Petalborne most complete in form.

“The Last Train never stops.”
An ancient steam locomotive thunders across a desolate wasteland, its rusted frame screaming against the ruins of a dead world. From the glowing stargate it emerges, dragging with it a storm of cosmic fire and fractured reality, the shape of a colossal skull — a harbinger of doom, a shadow of death painted against the stars. Planets loom in the distance, fragments of worlds are scattered across the void, and all that remains is the relentless advance of the Last Train.

William Orbit - Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Mix)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5jIjBdmm9w
A moment suspended between sorrow and transcendence.
Bathed in golden light, a solitary figure floats through a cosmic sky, her gown dissolving into streams of starlight and memory. Below her, the remnants of a crumbling world fall away in silence, forgotten by time. This is not flight — it is release. A visual echo of grief transformed into beauty, of weight surrendered to the music of eternity.
Inspired by the emotional depth of Adagio for Strings — where every pulse of light is a note, and every drifting spark is a memory ascending.

Rain weeps from the heavens, but she stands untouched — a throne of darkness woven into flesh and shadow.
Her skin is pale as moonstone, marred only by ink-black tears that run from her eyes like trails of grief made flesh. Beneath her crown of coiled, infernal horns — each curved like a serpent frozen mid-snarl — her eyes burn gold, lit with curses older than kings.
Her blackened armor is etched with cryptic runes and sigils, each piece soaked in ancient magic. From the deep shadows of her sculpted cuirass to the obsidian pendant nestled at her throat, she is both executioner and oracle, the high voice of an ancient cult forgotten by light.
The face carved into her crown whispers still.

"Beneath the Sepulchral Spire, deeper than breath, older than light, lie the Echohalls of Veyne.
Here, the Umbracrypt Elves keep their vows not in voice — but in stone, in shadow, in silence.
The air does not stir. The walls remember. And every chain that hangs here once held a truth too sacred to speak.
Oaths are not written. They are carved into the marrow of the world.
And when one is broken… these halls do not echo with wrath.
They echo with return."

Bathed in celestial fire and encircled by rings of divine energy, the Starborne Oracle ascends from the sacred ruins, drawn upward in transcendental communion with a cosmic deity of radiant light. Her crimson and gold robes billow around her like a living flame, catching the starlight and ancient power that swirls in the air.
The figure before her — towering, radiant, and crowned with stellar thorns — is the embodiment of cosmic divinity, its form cloaked in pure energy and wisdom beyond time. From its crown bursts a solar halo etched with glowing runes, while an astral eye in its chest radiates universal truth.
Ancient stones crumble below as the veil between realms dissolves. Starlight rains like divine ash. Ethereal glyphs shimmer across the air, drawn into the silent gravity between oracle and god. This is no prayer — this is revelation, rebirth, and surrender. The moment when flesh becomes flame, and the mortal soul is rewritten in the language of stars.

“When the sun refused to rise, she taught the shadows how to sing.”
Clad in ceremonial black and stitched into history by candlelight and blood-bound scripture, Virelynn Nocthera walks between the final star and the first regret.
She is the last voice of a faith forsaken — an immortal Priestess of the Severed Dawn, bound to the moment the world lost its light.
Her silver eyes reflect no warmth, only memory. Her words are few, yet each one echoes like bells in abandoned cathedrals. She no longer prays — she remembers prayers that were swallowed by silence.
Virelynn is the one who kept the rites when even gods turned away.
She speaks for:
The forgotten oaths
The sunless hours
The ghosts who wait at altar doors
They say her presence chills even fire.
They say her shadow falls longer than time.
They say she’s not the end...
but the reckoning that follows it.

My divorce was finalized today..
The final chapter in a very long book, 37 years.
The emotions are overwhelming.
I'm sad, I love her and miss her and always will.
I'm disappointed, that it didn't work out the way we always wanted it to. Everything I did was either for her or with her in mind.
I'm relieved, the entire process is over, whether I wanted it or not.
I feel guilty, everything we worked for and built together, was divided, and what I ended up with was supposed to be for both of us to enjoy for the rest of our lives.
I'm grateful, for everything I do have, home, job, Joe especially.
I'm comforted, knowing I'm in control of my own existence.
Nobody can pull the rug out from under me anymore.
I'm exhausted, from everything I've been thru the last four decades.
I'm excited, about moving forward and putting myself first and being the best me. We weren't always good for each other, but we were always best together, and aren't good for anyone else.

a dark and imposing figure strides forward with quiet dominance — a steampunk warrior clad in a long, double-breasted trench coat, reinforced with metallic pauldrons and golden mechanical detailing. His body is fully encased in dark leather armor, trimmed with brass, copper, and complex tubing. A gold-etched, insectoid mask obscures his face, with glowing cyan goggles blazing through the fog — eyes that see through the smog of revolution.
Behind him erupts a massive arachnid exoskeleton of six towering mechanical legs, sprouting from a reinforced harness on his back. These gleaming brass limbs, jointed like clockwork, walk in rhythm to his steps, not merely following — but supporting him, lifting him slightly above the ground with every stride. Each leg is adorned with glowing filaments and coils, radiating a soft amber light like fireflies in the dusk.
The setting is a smoke-filled steampunk alleyway, littered with soot and lined with glowing gas lamps. Faint orange orbs of industrial light dot the background, partially veiled by mist. The atmosphere is thick with oil, steam, and the hum of gears — giving the impression of a post-industrial city on the verge of collapse or uprising.
Every element — from the polished brass to the fiery optics — evokes a fusion of menace and mastery.

The Verdant Veil is the luminous heart of the Light Side of the Hollow Veil — a sacred realm where sorrow does not vanish but transforms. Unlike the shadowed sorrow of the Nightmare Veil, this domain nurtures memory through light, healing, and quiet belonging. It is a twilight region where mist glows, flora sings, and time slows to the rhythm of emotional resonance.
Atmosphere:
Constant soft twilight — gold, violet, and silver hues intermingle.
Bioluminescent pollen drifts through the air like glowing snow.
The landscape breathes with stillness and awe — alive, but not hurried.
Core Themes:
Healing through remembrance
Emotional transformation rather than erasure
The sacred nature of vulnerability and truth
Key Locations:
Blooming Heart Sanctuary – From a distance, it appears as a crystalline cathedral rising from the mist. Up close, its petals form towering translucent walls etched with living memory-runes. The structure breathes subtly, like a flower mid-bloom — its heart chamber glowing with soft golden-blue light as if pulsing in rhythm with the soul of the Veil itself. A crystalline cathedral-flower housing the Petal Mirror.
Dreamblossom Crossing – Mist-bridged riverpaths where memory blooms.
Whispergroves – Emotion-rich forests of memorywillows.
Silvergroves – Sacred forests shaped by belief.
Lullaby Riverbanks – Singing rivers that echo forgotten names.
Hollowheart Glade – The hidden refuge of Lumina Aureveil.
Echo Orchard – Trees that bear fruit-like memories.
The Lamenting Pool – A moonlit basin of grief and release.
Flora & Fauna:
Mistwisp Familiars – Small memory-bound beings, caretakers of dreams.
Whisperpaws – Shape-shifting mist-creatures who test and guide.
Petal-gliders – Moth-deer hybrids floating on dream thermals.
Memory Blossoms – Flowers that bloom in response to emotion.
Spiritual Role in the Veil:
The Verdant Veil is not utopia — it is a place of gentle challenge, where healing is not ease but earned surrender. Many pilgrims travel here seeking solace, only to find that they must remember what they once refused to feel. Yet, if they endure, they often leave marked by echo-light or blessed by a Mistwisp.
Flavor Quotes:
“Here, sorrow does not fade — it flowers.”“To heal is not to forget. It is to bloom with what remains.
