This is a contest entry for the contest for myths, fairies, and dark gothic creatures in the style of the beautiful Ayami Kojima.

I drew a creature inspired by Frankenstein, and used inspiration from her more famous works in order to incorporate her typical vines, rose thorns, and flowers with blood.
The man's body's being torn up by a water nymph, which is a creature very famous in the Slavic regions of Europe. The creepy-faces woman's typical for Japan, and is a spider demon, usually disguised as a woman. The mask was simply there to add to the grotesque factor.

So, I used one of the creatures that I'm sure she loves, Frankenstein's Creature, in order to add some of the beauty and gore element typical to her, a nymph for the more gentle aspect of her art, and a spider woman, for diversity in the mythological aspect of this.

This is also for , because sometimes, certain people just crawl into us, and rip us open and exposed. Whether that's good or bad, who knows.
