Gothic horror / dark fantasy series by author Marlutte in collaboration with godofallthings @dismarlutte.bsky.social @godofallthings.bsky.social Art Fight: artfight.net/~dismalia linktr.ee/dismaliazone #DISMALIA

A cosmic vessel bleeding light that harbours a mystic portal, for those blessed by ignoble powers, to traverse the Nightmare Above.
A cosy lodge full of wall-mounted, assorted demon hunting trophies displayed proudly by the Rokyu guild alongside their weaponry. Stacks of skulls decorate the floors around wooden benches, with a tall mutant cacti down the aisle up to an eye-catching large and rare yet well preserved demonic moth.
A black market featuring various contraband weapons, elixirs and armour. Bustling with Belial avid shoppers, merchants serve all kinds in the dark, damp sewers.
A sacred place of draconic worship, shaped in the image of the merciful Dragon Titan.
A quaint little abode in the narrow passages of the sewers, off the Gutter Black Market. Torches light up the room, revealing the ooze of moss seeping through gaps in the brick walls around it. A sturdy, uncomfortable bed hanging suspended by chains off the wall. The bed is furnished with a well-worn old pillow and weathered, ragged cloth blanket. Low ceilings of the underground make it very difficult for most to navigate, however the height is perfect for a pint-sized Belial.
Interior view of decaying, overgrown and infested holds of a shipwreck. Aquatic demonic beasts scuttle in the shadows, crawling through damp, rotting floorboards where toxic fungi flourish. Faint light shines down through a grid, illuminating the wooden flooring of this vessel, blinding darkness dwelling fiends that reside even lower.
A twisted, winding tower, overcrowded with endless imprisoned fiends longing for death. They all stand, poised in the pentagonal archways, ready to descend into the pit, claw their way to futile victory only to be inevitably felled, cursed to regenerate and battle again.
An oddly serene yet disturbing stone bridge, enshrouded by mist that is composed of a blood-like vapour. Demonic gargoyles, vaguely akin to The Grotesque, sit perched atop columns lined with stone pillars that form an ominous path veiled by darkness. Sanguine blood red liquid pours down like rainfall, symbolically drowning them as it flows and spews back out the gargoyles' abdominal mouths, cascading below.
A shadowy bog, hissing swamp vapour and other hazardous fumes, inhabited by ungodly aquatic and amphibious fiends. Above them, hominoid assailants swing from branches and vines. They await intruders, ready to hurl rocks, bone fragments and anything heavy or sharp they can get their filthy claws on. Cages of thorn-ridden entrails, fastened tightly with miscellaneous bones, hang from the ends of many tree branches.
An industrial fortress, emanating darkness. The site is dangerously obfuscated by a dense smog and the grounds are heavily guarded by armoured demons. Trespass these harrowing domains at your own peril.
An enormous, ancient structure, built solidly with stones, fossilised great demonic beasts and assorted bones of the fallen. Many have brawled the tremendous brute at this archaic stadium. Few have lived to tell of its tale.
Abstract windmills under dark clouds that writhe and contort ominously. Demonic beasts roam this land, enshrouded by mist.
Barren land, strewn with decayed, abandoned shipwrecks. Weathered by unrelenting storms and the ravages of time. Amphibious fiends and sea creatures alike scavenge amidst the wreckage to survive.
A monumental fortress constructed in the image of an intimidating feline entity. Obscured and covered by sentient flesh, amidst a number of abnormal pyramids.
Mounds of sand and debris, that flow harshly in the desert under a veil of darkness pierced by obscure, wavering auroras. Countless sentient lumps of crudely sewn flesh reside with numerous eyes and teeth, contributing immensely to the foreboding atmosphere.
An eerily quiet place up in the mountains where the claws of demon giants lay frozen in time, reaching out to the Nightmare Above. Blood is harvested from these protruding parts akin to tree-sap for many incentives.
Snow covered mountainous region that is susceptible to glacial winds and inhabited by acclimatised, predatory behemoths.
A hellish spiral above broken, decaying ruins of former abodes, corrupt and destroyed by demonic invasion. The visage of a fearful woman's eyes glow through dust of the fallen.
A dark pit of lurking witches of the woods, lying in wait for the unobservant traveler to traipse the misty shadows one final time.
An ungodly graveyard of eerily inscribed tombstones marking shallow graves. Beside them, barbed roots penetrate the dark earth.
A demonic gate of giant mouths with large jagged teeth, vivid eyes and horns. Skeletal hands rise from the ground to drag down unsuspecting assailants to their demise.
A harrowing nightmare of twisted, foreboding trees with large roots like monstrous claws inhabited by ghoulish woodland demons. Moss-covered, bipedal abodes with vines trailing from beneath like intestines walk the shadows, operated by witches of the woods.
Dark sanguine river that flows through the valleys carved by the mountains, tinted bloody red by the rich soil and rocks. Skulls of the fallen line the walls of the canyon, while amphibious predators patrol the depths.
Mountainous landscape with steep cliffs and an abundance of mutated desert flora.
Canyons and mountains with a dense growth of mutated cacti, prowled by ferocious and famished twin-headed behemoths.
