Adam Burn is a Freelance digital artist and the creator of his project called Omens. In the series, which he started a few years back, he began redesigning the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in his own style.

“Starting with Death I went back and forth for some time as I learned new techniques and developed the style of the project further,” Burn shared on Bored Panda. “Eventually, I finished Death and moved on to War, then Plague, and finally Conquest. Along the way I decided to add a more human element to the designs, also an excuse to work more on character concepts, this resulted in the Harbingers, devout followers of the Horsemen that precede the main Omen.”

Burn shares his work on his Instagram account where he has gathered over 2.6 thousand followers and on his Patreon profile, “to not only fund the project, but also allow people to see how an image comes together, from initial reference gathering and mood boarding, building up color and texture, and finally to the finished image and giving supporters rewards in the form of prints, PSD files, and limited edition pieces.”

The 19th episode of the first season of Mythic, a new series by TED-Ed, shows the animated version of popular Chinese myth of the immortal white snake. 

“The talented herbalist Xu Xian had just started his own medicine shop where he created remedies with the help of his wife, Bai Su Zhen. One day a monk named Fa Hai approached him, warning him that there was a demon in his house. The demon, he said, was Bai Su Zhen. Xu Xian laughed. How could his kind-hearted wife be a demon? Shunan Teng traces the tale of the immortal white snake.”

Scrolling through Nolan Pelletier’s Instagram page, you can’t help but feel nostalgic. Based in Toronto, Canada, he draws inspiration from ancient and modern history, lost civilizations, and cats.

“Since I was young I’ve loved collecting antiques at sales and flea markets,” he shared with Polpettas. “I’m particularly drawn to both mid-century art, and Victorian packaging and antiques.”

His art is full of geometric patterns and odd creatures. “I find it very fun and stimulating to look at art that is full of pattern and detail, and there’s something hypnotic about the act of creating it,” he admitted.

“I read a good passage in a Victorian decorating book that said that good design should replicate the complexity of nature. The outside world is full of detail and pattern and movement, so why shouldn’t design be as well?”
