TESOctober 2025 Prompt - "Haunted"

TESOctober begins again! First prompt: "Haunted"!

I wanted to lean into a more painterly style this year, since the prompts are spaced out enough for me to balance them with work. For this first piece, I couldn’t stop thinking of my character Velorianth - cursed by Vaermina to wander through endless nightmares without ever finding rest. That kind of haunting felt more personal and intimate than just a ghost or spirit, and I loved exploring that visually.
I’ll be posting throughout the month, and I’m excited to share the rest of this set with you all.
