The kiss of death.

This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery.  The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mortin Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.

I don’t even know what this is, but it hangs in the wall in the classics building and looks antique and it’s got a nice aesthetic so…

lack-lustin:

this was just supposed to be a sketch but then I got carried away….a lot…but anyway I think this is the final design for my take on a Kelpie. I wanted it to be more monster like than they are usually depicted since they are demons that….disembowel children. At least in most cases. There are some nice ones in legends too so I wanna see how far I can take designing maybe like, different forms of them and stuff. As well as HOOMAN forms?? I dunno we’ll see.

MYTHOLOGY MEME // [1/3 Deaths] Icarus

Daedalus created wings out of feather and wax for him and his son to escape their imprisonment. Icarus marveled at his new ability of flight. He did not heed his father’s warning and flew too close to the sun, melting the wax from his wings and falling to his death.
