Something I also wish people would understand is that not all artists desire an intensive, serious career in art, they just want to share their work and the internet is a vital tool for that.

Ink drawing of a woman with long black hair and stitches on her face holding a triangular needle. Her clothes are patchworked together and seem to be partly sewn into her skin. Behind her is a great mass of flesh and eyes, stitched together.

Stitches! Ink drawing.

I'm a full supporter of more disturbing and monstrous female characters! There needs to be more women in the horrors-beyond-comprehension field!

Thank you! That means a lot to me.
And thanks, I had the old one because I loved the drawing, but thought it was about time to change.

Cartoon drawing of a guy with bright red hair holding a Kasa-obake, an umbrella monster from Japanese folklore with human features. The guy is wearing a black outfit and sandals. They are standing on a wooden floor in front of a gold, cracked doorway and walls depicting a giant orange demon.

Really, one of my biggest issues with the flood of A I is how it strips even more opportunities from artists who have none without the internet. In-person art opportunities are just... not there for so many, whether it's their subject matter, or other reasons.

The idea for The Great Katabasis was "food horror", so the villain cast retain this in different ways. Their level of villainy can actually be ranked by what they eat, and how they get it.

When you're trying to eat, but your MOOCHING ROOMMATE shows up. Characters from "The Great Katabasis", Choujiro Kanta the hotel owner, and the hotel's resident ghost.

And you think you're safe going with 2000s horror games but then they have even worse button mashing. lol

Ink drawing of a creepy-looking man wearing black overalls and a blood-stained shirt. He holds an extremely mutated severed head in one hand, and a butcher knife in the other. Bacteria and disease particles float around his head and body, and his belt has severed tongues hooked to it.

Early concept for the Tongue-Slitter from "The Great Katabasis". He and the other main villains are based on the Four Horseman, his being Plague, rather tragically made into this against his will.

Ink drawing of a girl with dark hair, bound with ropes and holding a can which reads "Hi Octane Depresso". She has a rose in her hair, which a strange, wormlike creature appears to be coming out of. The text above it reads "...With love from the dark place far underground..."

An early drawing of Alexia Corai from "Good Night, Tortureland". This, like a lot of this project really, was based on images from a dream I had.

I had this problem with a new PC, everything looked too pale and more blue-toned. Adjusting the colour filter slightly helped.

That truly is an achievement, that game seems insanely hard. You're right, old games don't kid around!

The characters who belong to Kanabiel and the Indigo all have title "names", his being One From the Clocks, but all of these names are completely meaningless. Kanabiel views her creations and servants as art pieces or toys, not living beings.

Early concept art for one of the main antagonists of "Good Night, Tortureland". He is a nameless devotee, and I mean DEVOTEE, of the goddess of cruelty, Kanabiel, who gave up his humanity for an immortality in her service.

I have a way with infamous cruel-natured games - Blasphemous, SH4, Siren, F+H etc. - for some reason, but I find the hard modes on old "kid-friendly" games to be way more evil and punishing than those could be.

I feel like animating Kanabiel would either be a divine experience or an exercise in the limits of self-punishment.

Colour concept for Kanabiel of the Rose, an eldritch entity who is one of the main antagonists of "Good Night, Tortureland". Her form and patterns change slightly and frequently.

I love the tactile-ness of cassettes, I've never really got the chance to play any until recently.
