SapphireBlue

A little macabre. The challenge description of "Love and Horror, dark gothic romances, scenes of love and despair" seems to have led to this image surfacing in my mind among a few others. But this one was insistent, so I decided to render it first.

A little bit of postwork: a vignette filter, some softening and the slightest touch of a wavy blur to simulate the underwater feel. No AI elements.

Forever

Freebies:
I wanted to use some of this week's freebies from DAZ. So this features Vyk Poppy and FWSA Gabriel,

The Frost Bride

Every spring, the Frost King leaves his throne in the human world and returns to the Fae Realm, where he waits and prepares for the next winter. When he departs, he leaves behind his Frost Bride, the beautiful human girl who was chosen by the fae many years ago to assist him in his work. As fall comes to a close, the Frost Bride anxiously waits to feel that first nip of cold in the air. She knows that her king will return with it, and she will watch as nature closes up and goes dormant, hiding from his cold, bitter magic. The Frost Bride does not hate her husband, in contrast she cares deeply for him, but his return brings her conflicting feelings. If only he could come home to her without bringing the Winter with him…

Here's my second entry!

Me and My Shadow

Goldleaf and Moonshadow had been courting for almost a month now. They got along very well, and Moonshadow seemed to be a very sweet girl, though she was a little distant and quiet. Goldleaf was very fond of her, and at first they worked well together, protecting the flowers in their territory and helping to keep them healthy and beautiful. But one day, Goldleaf noticed that throughout the blooms, there were always several flowers that seemed to suddenly turn black and wilted. No matter how much care he gave them, they refused to return to their own lovely colors. He had no idea what was happening, until one day he noticed Moonshadow spreading a strange red, glittery magic over a blossom, instead of the usual blue faerie magic. He couldn’t understand what she was doing - was it possible his own dear Moonshadow was up to something sinister?
