Q: What is 'Dark Gothic Art'?
A: Any form of artwork that pertains to the gothic horror subgenre, the goth subculture, or is thematically dark in nature. This includes paintings and drawings (digital or traditional), physical art such as statues or statuettes, photographs, and music. This ranges from a night-time landscape to a black metal song.

Artwork must be dark and/or gothic in some way. Mods reserve the right to use our own judgment on this, but we usually let the community decide.
No harassment or bigotry towards other users.
Post the name of the artist(s) along with the artwork. If you do not know the artist you can use Google Image Search to try to find it. If that doesn't work, put 'unknown artist' in the title.

NSFW posts must be marked as such. Do not post gorn or porn just for the sake of it.
Dark does not mean edgy. Do not encourage suicide.

midnight vigil
Hello everyone! I wanted to share one of my recent pieces, titled "Midnight Vigil." This ink drawing captures a ghostly figure holding a lantern, set against a backdrop of a haunting full moon and eerie landscapes. My goal was to blend elements of the macabre with a touch of the mystical, creating a scene that feels both timeless and chilling.
The inspiration for this came from my fascination with gothic themes and my love for storytelling through art. I aimed to evoke a sense of solitude and the unknown, using heavy shadows and stark contrasts to highlight the spectral figure and its otherworldly glow.
This piece was created using a brush pen, which allowed me to achieve deep, impactful blacks and delicate textures. I'm particularly pleased with how the moon and the silhouette of the bats turned out, as they add a dynamic layer to the composition.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, interpretations, or any feedback! How does this piece make you feel? What stories or emotions does it evoke for you?
