"Chains," by Konstantin Korobov. (ten total pieces, with a couple notes) [MATURE]
https://media.piefed.social/posts/q0/Fk/q0FkTU5vBtwaNhK.webp
Konstantin is from Yekaterinburg. He’s strived to develop a completely unique style, savage in nature at times, with a sort of sharply philosophical take on the happenings and beliefs of the day. Also, I find that the framework of his pieces often involve classic, mythological foundations. –Johnny

Atrox
Note that some of these are pretty low-calorie in quality. If you’d like to see higher-res versions, I’d suggest adding one of those extension which allows you to swiftly image-match via TinEye, Google-Images, etc. (it’s been a lifesaver for me)

Once sacred, now discarded?

Arrow

One is Still Left
(or: Missed Me!)

Chase

Votre commande, monsieur?

And then, it got worse

Miracle
Foof. That last one is pretty wild (read: disturbing to me), but I understand that it has to do with the ancient archetype of the savior’s sacrifice.
Korobov depicts an even more savage-version via an angelic lamb being ripped to pieces by a pack of wolves, but I decided not to share that one here. You can find it on this guy’s other sites, if you care to.
And of course, his other sites are chock full-o-goodness indeed:

NOTE: I’m completely cool with Russians, as long as we can also say:

Anyway, hope you found something to enjoy, and I apologise if some of this stuff was a bit over the top. 😅
