“ Derived from a sequence of shadows, secrets present itself in the fractures of light and morning reveries. These mysteries are not all but what they are seemed to be, but rather a darker looming presence ahead. “ ☆ shattered illusions of a false dawn ☆ 『 hello, and welcome to my entry for the first level of painted pages round one! I’m thrilled to be joining this competition, so please just sit back and enjoy the art, as well as the description below! 』 * art description * a figure peers into broken glass, reflected against a backdrop of a wispy sunrise— “fractures of light and morning reveries,” if you will. the figure appears entranced by their own image, as “secrets present themselves,” in this shattered mirror. yet despite the rather soft and sweet colors painted across the shards, the “mysteries are not what they seem,” and the “darker looming presence” ahead makes itself clear through the inky haze creeping steadily forward, malignant tendrils clinging to whatever they can find while a single paw claws out through the darkness, ready to inflict its indigo wrath.
