Reminds me of this painting by Zdzisław Beksiński

It evokes some kind of... uncanny feeling

Big fan of Beksiński and this work in particular. I wasn't directly inspired by it, but I guess the influence shows!

Reminds me of Junji Ito's balloon heads:

Thanks! I like drawing insectile creatures and been wanting to do a noose/gallows piece for a while now (without turning too macabre) so these ideas merging was kinda inevitable.

Feels like something that would be in the Deadlands rpg. Maybe following or announcing the arrival of a Hanging Judge.

If Half-Life 2 were medieval fantasy instead of sci-fi.

Love the playfully dystopian mood; insect legs and a noose from human hair. So many things done right. Even the stance is like a disney giraffe falling and lurching. I enjoy. Should put this on a real canvas.

Sorry, it was obligatory 😅. This is really beautiful, thank you for sharing your art with us
