True! Only modern saints seem to get their titles by dying old in a hospital. St. Lucy (plucked-out eyes, slit throat), St. Cassian (hacked to death by children), St. Bartholemew (flayed alive, but still smiling!), St. Antipas (roasted in brazen bull), et al.

The bitterest foes of Winterfell were undoubtedly the Red Kings of the Dreadfort, the grim lords of House Bolton whose domains stretched from the Last River to the White Knife… Red Kings were reputed to wear cloaks made from the skins of Stark princes they had captured & flayed.

The flayed had stalked well into noctiflorous vanities, caressing mirrors like their lost faces would be coaxed into coming back. They burned lambent for a time, flooding timid, dying kisses with defensive seals. We watch them muse in beastly cloaks.

Next one is my character design for Xipe Totec, the flayed one. Aztec god of agriculture and renewal. Wanted to take my own spin on the idea of a deity that wears flayed skin. Thought it’d be interesting to give him flayed arms that are worn like a piece of cloth.

He appears wearing the skin of a flayed man to symbolize the fruit of maize, which must lose its husk in order to be revealed

You can find prints of my painting of Xipe Totec in my Etsy store!

and crypt flayers.

make it clearly more bat-y than the horror. as for the horror, you keep just as a fucked up human.

More conclave Entroph? lol sure. This is Mehntinakh the psychomancer. He's in a psychometric battle of wits with Sahumehyt where each tries to gaslight the other into becoming flayed. He also hates canopteks

I love how harcore catholic iconography can be.

Like, Jesus holding his own hard, the skeletons of saints turned into statues, or a sculpture of a flayed saint wearing his own skin as a robe
