Day 22: Acid

Bad trip. 👀

#crisisgoretober2025 #goretober #horror #psychedelic #psychedelichorror

Fear of witchcraft and making outrageous claims to to get rid of people was sadly not uncommon for the time, and it got a lot of potentially innocent people killed ...

A hungarian countess from the 16th century, Báthory was accused of killing over 600 young girls, to bathe in their blood so she could stay youthful. I could probably write a whole essay about the case, but more knowledgeable scholars already beat me to it. So to keep it brief;

Basically doing a complete 180 on the statement I did for the prompts on day 8/9; a sketch of the notorious serial killer Elizabeth Báthory! But before seeming like a complete hypocrite, did you know that the stories about her might have been fabricated? 🤔

Day 21: Bloodbath

Just a sketch today, I'm totally pooped 🥲 Might make a finished piece of it, cuz I think it would look sick with some color! 🩸

Day 20: Fungi

A more lighthearted piece, featuring a concept for a spore druid. While most druids oppose undeath, spore druids don't neccesarily feel the same. Death isn't the end of things, but rather gives life to something new. 💀❤

Day 19: Love Bites

I love hauntingly beautiful vampires, but I enjoy the beastly and uncanny ones too ❤

Day 18: Under Your Skin

Veins or worms, who knows? 🪱

#crisisgoretober2025 #goretober #artchallenge #horror

Thank you! 🙌

Day 17: Poisoned

Oh boy, I can't believe I'm halfway through the challenge! Todays piece is based on Oiwa from the kabuki play Yotsuya Kaidan, when she discovers how she has been poisoned.

Day 16: Roadkill

A more somber piece for Goretober. I don't have count on how many dead animals I have seen on the roads over the years ...

Day 15: Glass

I love the nostalgic horror of Bloody Mary. 🩸💀

Mmm, good soup. 👌

Day 13: Candy Gore

I have been really obsessed with Project Zomboid, so I have been neglecting goretober, but I'm back on track. Here's some more Crossed fanart, just sweeter this time. 👁👅

Day 12: Meat Hooks

Me boy, he's back! 🐷🩸

Day 11: Stitched Together

I had a dream not long ago, where I was being hunted by a pair of twins stitched together into one man. They were a collective mind, but also still two individuals stuck in one body. One cold and calculating, the other mute and manic.

Day 10: Insects

So I thought to myself; what am I gonna do for this prompt? Well ... I really don't like earwigs 🙃

#crisisgoretober #crisisgoretober2025 #goretober #spooktober #artchallenge

Therefore I usually do not make art of real-life serial killers, since it feels like a form of glorification. I, however, decided to make this piece since the man is long dead, and it is not of his face or his actions towards others, but rather shows the twistedness he took out on himself.

As I was saying; Albert Fish was a dispicable man who did horrible things to others. Now, I enjoy true crime like many others, but sometimes I feel like the topic gets handled carelessly to the point of romanticization in certain artforms - like a dramaseries' that shows no respect for the victims.

Day 8 & 9: Masochist and Needles

Been having some quite hectic days, so here is the 8th and 9th prompt mashed together!
It is based off of the x-ray of the serial killer Albert Fish' pelvis, which I have an important comment on in the comment section, since Bluesky hates lo-

Day 7: Bandages

Gnarly hands! 👐

Day 6: Parasite

The world will never truly be rid of Tomie 🖤

Day 5: Pins

I love facial piercings too, but leave it to a professional, folks! I knew I wanted to make some Crossed fanart for the artchallenge, and it might not be the last time either.

Day 4: Hanahaki Disease

"But he didn't feel the same way about him..."
Flowers, blood and unrequited love. 🌸🩸💔

Day 3: Vomit

Vacant stares and blood vomit 🤮🩸

Day 2: Puppet

Everyone needs a friend, even scary slasher characters! 🐷🩸

#crisisgoretober2025 #goretober #artchallenge #spooktober #halloween #horror

Day 1: Cleaved

Imma start this challenge off with a classic looking slasher character! 🐷🩸

#crisisgoretober2025 #goretober #artchallenge #horror

Taken in by a pirate crew from a young age, they have developed a deep love and respect for the sea, which is also a big inspiration for their music. ⚓🌊🏴‍☠️

A portrait of my new DnD character Mel! Still figuring out their character, but most importantly; they're a half-drow bard who favours the hurdy gurdy. 🙌

Made my own #goretober challenge! I'm gonna be following someone else's, but I thought it would be fun to make a list myself. Feel free to tag me if you make something from it, I'd love to see it. ^^
