Btw like, I am theoretically trying to move over to bsky, although I’m kind of slow getting started over there, so that’s not even my excuse for not being on here as much, I’ve just, been working (both on this project and rl job hunting) however if you do want to follow me over there I’d be very pleased! Especially bc the aforementioned. Slow getting started. But I’ll at least, when I realize I have art to post, still try to drop it here

giant without a heart in its body/giant with two hearts

bones inside the empty shell/father of the children born from coffins

some self indulgent character art for the project I’m working on. They’re characters who are loosely based on fairytales (in the like, horror sense) however the fairytales also kind of blend together for thematic reasons (it’s less about, portraying a straightforward rendition of these stories and more, the main character is an ouroboros of a fairytale prince, and everything in the story reflects him in an often unflattering way, everyone kind of takes turns being seen as prince/princess/monster, and what does it meant to be perceived as those stagnant concepts rather than a complicated person whose role in the story is often more circumstantial than innate, how a person can seem like a savior one minute and a monster the next)

But also lmao sometimes it’s just dumb and horny/scary. Alas

Commission for @akakris10 of their oc Ghost Agnes

You can read more about her and also their other OCs here!

I had a lot of fun with her design, and that bg texture…

[wormholy]

When in art block/doubt just draw your OCs as girls with pretty long hair and be like wow. I wish you were a girl from the start. Smh (still keeping them guys because it’s important to me, however, it’s also important to indulge sometimes)

Commission for Zero (someone who doesn’t have a tumblr) their fanservant Hank Morgan.

Hank Morgan is a character from a Mark Twain novel about a man from Connecticut who goes back in time and uses modern technology to fake being a wizard to swindle King Arthur’s court, which is about the funniest character possible you could make into a saberface omg

I’m glad people like this and have noted like the difficulty of looking away from it once you look at it. I guess I’m pleased bc I was very specifically trying to accomplish that as a form of horror. Where your eye is drawn all over the canvas but there is nowhere for it to rest. And in fact everywhere you look it’s staring back at you helplessly. Something is trying to grab your attention and consume you and get you to consume it. To draw you into its composition. And the more you look the more painful and disgusting and less beautiful it is. and there’s really no escape from it no matter where you look. Its state of decomposition and confusion and yet trying to string itself together into a complete whole is akin to the increasing feelings of disgust and contempt you might feel for it keeping you trapped there in that moment, realizing the chaos is ultimately accomplishing nothing. Nothing really stands out as the most important thing in the composition, there is nowhere to rest except to look away. Something about the attention economy and its effects on how art is created and consumed. Bc that’s sort of central to the narrative framing of these characters I’m trying to write and it’s been tricky for me to pull that off with writing in a way that is a lot easier with visual if only bc you have bright eye hurting colors on your side. And I’ve been practicing those sorts of visuals and if you are forced to stare at things that long it becomes more intuitive to trap yourself in the image to keep yourself from getting bored while drawing it. And just, this knowledge that when creating something which the audience feels no innate tie to, you have to force that tie, you have to pierce the eyes and beg for recognition. But eventually the audience has to look away and move on, and whatever is trapped in there cannot, the fourth wall is there and it will remain there no matter how hard it struggles to be out here or you to become lost in it. For me there’s just a specific form of horror in the desire to be seen and consumed and the desperation and fear this can invoke.

Opening, withdrawal, dream, nightmare, consciousness unfastening, unbecoming

I do want to elaborate however that the sheer level of detail in the hands of the meat Charles portrait is really impressive. I was not comparing myself to that level of artistry or anything i just related to it viscerally bc I like to draw pictures of people decaying into the canvas in a way I'd presume most people would not want to see in a portrait. But man especially hyper detailed hands is something I'm not there with yet. I really do have to sit down and practice some just very elaborate very bony and wrinkly old person hands

[wormholy]

Like, can’t get over that someone basically painted This unironically

Come on at least I’ll throw in some psychedelic colors and possibly even. more than one butterfly interacting with your pulsating meat cube. I am uniquely suited to this job. I was born for this. please hire me

Petition for some exorbitantly rich monarch to commission -me- to paint them slowly phasing into a disgusting decomposing meat wall. Why wasn’t this my job? I promise you, this is all I have ever wanted to be in life. The guy who paints rich people decomposing into a slurry of meat. Why. Why wasn’t it me???
