SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Masque of the Red Death

'...and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.' I'm sure many of you are familiar with the story by Egdar Allan Poe. Those who aren't, go read up. It's wonderfully dark! Anyway, here is portrayed the very moment that the clock strikes its twelfth hour, and the cloaked figure appears in the black room.

15 Dec 1999	Lyndell Stout	Loading... ...and no we return to the more hauntingly wonderful stuff. I might be in our best mental health interest that you not become to prolific at this. Because, I am crazy enough as it is
23 Dec 1999	The Artist	Loading... Oh, but I love to do the dark and haunting stuff.
28 Jan 2000	Alicia N. Steeves	Loading... Ooo, I like it. Then again, I adore Edgar Allen Poe. Macabre... This is very good. Even if you hadn't told us it was inspired by Poe, I'm sure I would have figured it out.
15 May 2000	Laura Ellen Rappleye	Loading... Yet another morbid looking thing. But I like it. There's always been that strange attraction to the dead and undead to me. Maybe that's why I like movies like "The Mummy" and such. Very nice dark colors which present the mood well.
21 Jun 2000	Anneth 'Waterballoon Vixen' Lagamo	Loading... I remember that story.... I recall watching a movie starring Vincent Price. Very scary. Lovely rendering, great colors, great picture, =)
18 Nov 2000	Jevan Sinnock	Loading... YES! ::awards lots of gold stars:: That's one of my favorite stories, and you've captured it perfectly here ::grins:: Though for some reason the image I always associate with the story is from D&D and is one of the little filler images; has the upper body of a person holding aside a mask, except that their face is a skull. Or maybe the mask is the skull. I don't remember exactly, since it's been awhile since I've perused through the EM books (Encyclopedia Magica, btw). But anyway :ff to look at more artwork::
7 Feb 2001	Laura Freeman	Loading... Nice! The shadows and highlights are perfect in this! I love the red of the curtain complimenting the red blood. I've always wanted to do an illustration of this, but I have a hard time drawing shrivelly dead things. You've done a wonderful job.
30 Jul 2001	Sphinx	Loading... I would send my stuff in if i had a scanner. =( Im maybe buying one. Sphinx
21 Nov 2001	Even	Loading... And I thought your black and whites were gorgeous!! you're my HERO
5 Nov 2003	Beth M.	Loading... Wicked cool! I especially like the curtain, it looks like it took lots of time, with the shading and the knot in it. It is really detailed.
