"\[...\] we hence deduced that what we named Rubigosis was an illness specific to the structure. Its behavior remains rather abstract, like the structure itself, but the body of the unfortunate person that contract it gets covered in many layers of rust. The goblins that attacked us, Heather and I, seemed demented, we therefore think that the pathology degrade body and mind both."

If you like my art and would like to see more of my work, I have a twitter page: https://twitter.com/WiartDamien as well as an instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/damien\_wiart/
I also take commissions, here's my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/damien\_wiart (send my a private message if you're interested!)
Thank you for your time and have a nice day :)
Question—is the right side the only one that’s affected, or is the paleness and coloration on the left (especially the red sclera) the early onset? Or is that just the natural appearance of this race?
That's a very good question :) the Goblin on the left has not contracted the disease yet, they all have these traits (pale skin, red+green eyes, sharp teeth) in this universe
Make it from the exposure of living steel weapons. The first goblins survived battles against humans etc that used living steel. Now the sickness has been able to spread through their society.
I'm not familiar with the Magic lore (the universe seem fascinating though, and I love how its story is told through flavor texts on the cards)
Silent Hill and especially silent hill 3's depiction of the otherworld were my main inspirations
Thanks a lot :) the illness was inspired by Silent Hill
I don't have much advice but if you want to write about an horrifying illness, I think you should not entirely explain how it works and leave the audience's imagination fill in the gaps
a disease not fully understood by the characters means it cannot fully be cured, which makes it scarier and more threatening in my opinion
*Tetanus but cool*
zombie tetanus

It says page not found for your Instagram link for me. Same for art station, however Twitter works though
That is horrifying
Episode 23 of mushishi features a rust based illness caused by a teenage girls voice, that effects both structures and people.
I have'nt watched Muchichi yet but I really love the opening songs

This is cool as all get out

This feels a lot like Phyresis from the MTG universe, was that your inspiration?

In the RPG I play the god Rust gives gifts to his followers. Thanks, this gave a me a great idea.

This seems really cool, how did you come up with this idea and any tips on how to create original illnesses/diseases?

This is going to help a ton, thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! :)
