I am going through old sketchbooks before I shove them into another closet and am somewhat bemused by the notes I wrote to my future self.

“pecked to death by iron-eyed albatrosses”

“Archaeopteryx girl at the cliffs of oolong”

“Eve tastes the Bacon of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.”

Digital illustration of a blonde catgirl manning the counter at a cat-themed fast food restaurant. Her eyes look empty. Behind her are signs for the food, including the 10pc chicken nyaggets, and the signature nyaburger. You can see a little of the kitchen behind her.

At the heart of the labyrinth, among the many bones of past victims, two Mycenaean adventurers find themselves faced with a not particularly Hellenic looking minotaur, with skull face paint, shackles, a couple of decorative severed heads, and a really big glaive.

A "musketghost," a semi-corporeal musketeer with a ghost gun that fires ghost bullets with presumably ghost powder from uh, that's a LOT of "twelve apostles." No, I don't know why I made this dude's torso ultra long.

I know this is recent but I just love it so darn much. In a forest pervaded by green fog, a necromancer uses very green magic to raise the armored skeletons of long dead warriors. I had the "Green Ball" music from Heavy Metal on repeat a LOT while coloring this.

Not really horror per se. Somewhere in the woods, a big warband of cranky Swedes yell at their creepy ass seidhcona to pull runes, assisted by a creepy seidhman, in front of a big bonfire.

A brave half-elf fighter/mage splashes through fetid water littered by bones, lit only by spell-light. Somehow she's quite unaware of a giant annis hag creeping up behind her.

Sure, let's do one more post of Halloweenish colored #drawings, though some of these are fairly recent

It's the Great Cthulhu, Charlie Brown! A lumbering obesity, a mountain walked or stumbled and meanwhile our favorite kids, out in the pumpkin patch, are screaming and taking multiple d20 SAN damage.

Also, to go with seasonal spirit, have a very old pointless cartoon. Mad props to Charles Schultz for his timeless cultural contribution. #bskyart #drawing

Hey #blender #blender3d geeks, I need someone to do some fairly realistic texturing on my model here, and I need someone to animate the upper parts of this model into a repeating headbang animation. Can be the same person, but doesn't have to be.

This is PAID work! DM me!

A short Lackadaisy comic, picturing Abelard Arbogast in a field, swinging a scythe, looking like the Grim Reaper. The comic reveals that he's just harvesting corn stalks for festive autumn decoration.

Two fiends from D&D; a paelyrion, a devil which looks like a 20’ tall obese reptile woman, and an arcanaloth, basically an anthro jackal. They are dressed in vaguely Victorian and 17th century clothes, respectively.

I’ve seen books chained to shelves.

Some levitated occasionally, others riffled pages at me as I passed.

Those were the ostentiferous ones.

Some bunnies crew a two-masted ship as they ride across waves on the pages of a giant book, it's pages turning like waves. In front of them, another book's pages turn from a image of a storm to an image of a sunny sky, and one bunny at the bow of the ship points forward excitedly.
