Excuses for my absence!
Gaudi was way ahead of his time indeed!
I love that first and last pic Freya. Very dark and chilly. Funny how the leaves in the last pic add the autumn-ish feel. Also adds credibility to the dark dear imo : ) Gonna check out their profile!
Here's a piece I quite like:

Aside from the action of the swordfight I think the background is very atmospheric and quite hostile. In fact the guy who made this and pretty much all the concept art for Puss in Boots (Nathan Fowkes) makes much darker work than you'd expect. You can tell he had to put some 'standards' in Puss in Boots and the black cat, because the cats in the background have a way crazier, creepier design. Love those : )
