Description --READ--

This is very VERY spiritual stuff i'm getting into.
If you don't believe in anything other than science or find what i love to be offensive, then move on and don't read.
I'm not here to pressure people, i'm posting this to express a personal and meaningful experience i've had.
Do unto me as you want done unto you.
Thank you.

Fall is the time of year when i am most spiritually aware of the cooler, more surreal sides of the earth, and something tells me i'm not the only one.

Surely you're all familiar with my death god by now, Interitus.
This character has always felt real to me, and i have looked to him for protection, wisdom, and coping with death and sadness.
When it snows, Kitten and i both think of him running through the land, spreading coldness and blanketing the flora so the earth will rest.
He makes us laugh, he makes us cry, he makes us stronger and i'm very proud of him.
He is real, but i will touch on this soon.

Several months ago, i had a dream that i was with a great off-white elk spirit, similar to the one in this art (this depiction is very simplistic).
I dreamt that it stood atop a frozen lake in a barren land with snow dusting over the ground, and deadened trees in the distance.
He was showing me something, i think, though it's been a while and i was too dumb to record the dream, so i don't remember much.
Later, i found that this elk was a guide of sorts, and that dream land i saw was his "realm."
I came to recognize him as a guide of the cooler, more "lively" death spirits of the earth and activity centering around it all.
In the dream, i believed him to be Interitus.
Like my Interitus, this one was kind, patient, and not violent.
He never spoke to me, though.
Still, he is focused and has work to do, but appreciates recognition and being admired rather than being feared.
I have reason to think that perhaps, he may be a lesser worker for my creation, whom i accidentally brought to life XD
But...how is this possible?

I have said numerous times that the human mind is the most powerful tool we have.
It is beyond flesh and when it works with the spirit, and when the soul pours into one's thoughts, feelings and even their art, the things we think up can come to life in its own way.
Also, sometimes when people think they've created something new, they may later find that the thing they "made" already existed in one way or another.
For people with a powerful spiritual history and influence such as myself, this is VERY common.
So, it is to be expected that i would do this, and i have reason to believe that i have done it before.
Also, once when i was in late middle school i focused so heavily on the mate from my fox past life, i actually managed to create a serving spirit in the shape of the fox, bringing a loving memory to a new consciousness.
She was known as a "servator," which i named Shade, but sadly after a year or so my loyalties in spirituality began to change, and so i let her go with much love.
I no longer know where she is, but i hope she managed to go on without me.

So the point of this was to inform you that when we focus hard enough, we can make things.
We can will our own good fortune, or even our own bad luck, and the good or bad luck of others.
Be careful how you view life, and try to make the best of every heartache, and of every struggle.
I always say "Interitus is real to me."
Now i know he is, all because i believed it so.
If man believes, then it is so. (to an extent, hehe).


Please enjoy this art, and see it as a symbol of creativity, and optimism.
And if you're tired today?
Rest; God has our backs.


--About the art--

This was done from memory, no reffing for the skull face or anything, with a lack of thinking about body or proportions, and with NO light pencil outlines first, so no erasing.
It's all from scratch, forged from ink and filled with prisma pencil.
The lighting occurred naturally and i chose not to edit the picture digitally.

--IMPORTANT--

If you consider trying something spiritual that you've never tried before and you are un-experienced, DON'T.
This stuff is very real and very dangerous and can affect us in ways we often don't even realize.
If you have questions, feel free to ask me!

I admit I'm one of those people that mainly believes in things science can prove and not much else (it's not as if the things we do with science and science itself weren't exciting enough for my life already) but I always love hearing of other peoples believes as long as they don't try to force them on you (one of the reasons I grew rather distasteful of Christianity) since I also think that we don't exactly have prove that it is wrong or, as J.K.Rowling wrote "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?".
I also know that believe is powerful, no matter in what way you view it, weather you look at it's power to influence people or believe it capable of creating spirits, the fact stays that it can be devastating in the wrong hands and mindset.

OHHH trust me i don't like the majority of religious people because they make it terrifying and unpleasant.

Ahh yes, the human mind has an incredible ability to do things that transcend beyond our bodies' physical capabilities, which i find truly stunning

Yea, I think it's mainly that we live in a Christian country (in Germany to a lesser degree than in the US but the principle stays) whilst being somewhat critical of religion in general (Whether this be through Atheism or believing in more than just Christianity) so we are mostly shown things done by our culture which for a long time meant by "our" religion by extension so we see the crime that has been and still is being committed in the name of it more clearly than what has been done by others.
Add to that that Christianity, or at lest quite a few Christians has been relatively aggressive and oppressing, mostly in history but some of it still lingers and that it is regarded the "proper" or "good" religion in US media (or at least that's the vibe I get from what I've heard and seen) which is exported and talked about in most of the world as well as the fact that it's easy to find stories about extremists that, for example, still vehemently deny Evolution and you've got yourself a nice mix of denial about the harm they've caused along with elitism which, on the long run, is annoying as heck.

Yes, in the good it can mean uniting people to stand up against oppression, making those suffering feel better and helping them to overcome whatever is troubling them (support groups, friends/family that support you)an in the bad it can mean things like witchhunts (not just the medieval ones but rather the pattern of ignorance, believe-whether in religion or otherwise-and distrust which turns into hate and violence-both verbal and physical-reappearing through history) and huge populations denying the facts in favor of a lie much nicer to look at or beneficial for the ones in power (the middle ages and the 18th century colonization/Human trafficking are prime examples as is the delusion that America is a post-racial society) and that's just looking at the more mundane and taking a few good examples.

I have no idea!
When i created Shade, it took a matter of minutes and focus until i felt this gasm of energy, but i didn't do that on purpose!
Good Lord man, OUR WORLD XD

You're certainly not alone, and this is yet another amazing entity you have given life to.
One of my beliefs is, well, belief feeds the creation or entities, much like in the RotG movie. It doesn't just give them the ability to be seen or heard, but it gives them life.
Amazing piece as always!

That's such a beautiful way to see that, and it makes perfect sense!
I once felt a dragon contact me through the void, and he contacted me because i was drawing dragons a LOT and was so passionate about how they looked.
They know when we talk about them, they know what we feel; it's very intimate, but not so scary, is it? ^v^,
Or world has beauty we often forget

That's so cool!! 8D I miss my old dragon stuff. As a kid, I was a raging dragon fanatic and collected everything dragon - statues, books, cards, coins, even items I found and thought were connected to them. I mis smy old dragon talisman. I have no idea what happened to it. Q~Q

You know why he did not speak with you? He has words only for the dead. You are not at the point where you need to hear his words to escape the darkness of the void that lost souls plunge into without him.Β 
I don't know why I thought of this in such a way, but it seems understandable.
And hey, nice art!

It makes sense, though.
I'm not dying, thus i wouldn't need him comfort.
Considering i know where you stand for the most part on this stuff...that comment really means a lot.
Thank you :") *hugs*

I think the art is exceptionally beautiful :3

Since I think that anything can be possible, if not here then somewhere, I already feel in awe of this spirit. And at the same time as I wish I could meet him (I love those kind, quiet spirits who take care of and manage things in life and nature), a part of me likes not quite knowing. Plus, I don't want to meddle with things I may not be able to handle.

I can completely picture him frolicking (if that's the right word) and racing through snowy fields and forests. Winter may be a cold time, where my feet and hands turn to ice cubes and I get bumps on my skin from a cold intolerance, I still love the season. Everything is so beautiful, like nature is sleeping under a gentle white blanket.

Edit: Whoops, needed to edit a spelling error!

Right!
The spirits that regulate our world, and all things that we understand in part but not all the way, are so so beautiful and it's so fun to not know :"3

Winter is one of my favorite months.
Snow is gorgeous and fun to play in, and the fact that snow is such a quiet precipitation makes it that much more eerie and, for me, very emotional.
My old dog Spike died a few years ago, but when he was alive he loved to plow through the snow.
Every Winter i pray for some safe snow, just to be able to imagine my beloved, passed on friend playing and, as you said, frolicking.
I like to imagine this great elk running, his big flat hooves flopping about but him still somehow carrying a grace.
