Panic disorder suuucks. Had two shitty stressful weeks in a row this month (which I was handling well!) and then boom. First panic attack in 2 years. Stayed calm and did all the things you're supposed to do. Still lasted over an hour and then symptoms haunted me for 3+ days after. 👎 Solidarity bro.

Finally got to sit down and watch Sinners, and it was so damn good. Left me wanting more in all the right ways.

panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!! panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions

hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025

Sadly plays Skyrim on my PS4

An Illustration of a Diabloceratops skull in black and white with a red pentagram towering behind and above it.

Ok, Easter's over.

HAIL SATAN!!!!!

That will probably be it for me as far as Spooky Spring goes this year, sadly. At least during the actual event. I may continue to work through the prompts when I have time. I just ended up unexpectedly busy and did not have the time to devote that I generally do.

I love this prompt. I could have taken it in so many directions. But having limited time this year, I decided to stick with a classic. I've loved gryphons since I was a kid and wanted to do my own take on a small, housecat-sized version.

A small gryphon, posed as if climbing down from the trunk of a tree head-first. She is holding her wings out in a threat display, beak slightly open. She has the head and wings of a melanistic barn owl, and the body of a housecat with a torbie coat pattern. She has catlike ears, five toes on each forefoot with long talons, and a fan of feathers growing from the end of her tail.

A very, very late offering for prompt four or Spooky Spring Art Party: Monster Mashup.

CREATOR: ‘my art is worthless. there’s no point in finishing this work in progress because nobody will care about it. i quit.’ THE SAME CREATOR AFTER RECOGNIZING THEY WIELD THE GRAND POWER OF THEIR OWN UNFATHOMABLE COSMIC UNIQUENESS:(picture of walter white) we're done when i say we're done'

creation as an act of love. love as an act of creation

A white dog lays under an archway of curved, bare birch trees in a lush forest, lit by dappled sunlight. A footpath passes under the archway, disappearing into the distance. There is a subtle rainbow effect in the morning mist between trees. The dog stares at the viewer knowingly. He waits for you to pass.

Finally finished. Prompt three of Spooky Spring: Fairy Forest.

I love the little pansy with this guy!

Wouldn't be a spooky spring if I didn't paint a weird animal in a forest.

I could have easily put a dozen more hours into this one, and I'll probably revisit it in the future when I have more time. But I'm proud of what I managed to do in less than three days.

After this prompt, I have no concrete plans. I hope to do at least two more pieces, but I haven't decided which yet. I may just continue through the list at my own pace, but we'll see once this piece is finished.

A sneak peak at my next Spooky Spring piece, which will definitely not be finished today. Bit off more than I could chew with the background foliage. 😬

A ghostly white female figure stands at a dark, rural railroad crossing, illuminated by headlights. Her face and wild hair are partially obscured in shadow. Her feet are covered in mud and she is pointing ominously to the left of the image, further down the tracks. In the distance, there are barely visible tire tread marks leaving the road in the direction she is indicating.

Prompt two for Spooky Spring Art Party is "Ghost." My take on a woman-in-white/ "white lady" style haunting.

A young magician faces the viewer. He is wearing a 1920s style tuxedo with white bow-tie, a top hat cocked slightly to the left, and white gloves. He is blindfolded with a dark, navy blue fabric covered in golden stars. A thin handlebar mustache and chin puff beard frame his face. The magician is holding three playing cards between his fingers: the Jack of Spades, 3 of Diamonds, and King of Spades. A red devil figure with fangs and a full beard whispers gently in his ear.

It's day one of Spooky Spring Art Party, hosted by @spookycutes.bsky.social! This is my offering for the first prompt, "Magic."

My original idea for this prompt was a spellwork still life. But I rewatched The Prestige a couple weeks back and that aesthetic grabbed me hard. I was also inspired by turn-of-the century magician gig posters, especially the trend of red devil/ imp figures whispering in the performer's ear.

I've got some things in the works for Spooky Spring this year, but am probably not going to do the whole list this time. Usually by now I have 3-4 pieces done, but I've only mostly finished with one and thumbnailed another soooo...

A black rat snake lies tangled around the forked branch of a persimmon tree. A pale hand reaches up to pluck one of the five fruits from the branch while the snake watches.

A snake to fill the void in your snakeless day.

A bust of Vinod Chanda from the animated show Pantheon, in his corrupted form. He has gray skin marked with black tattoos along his neck and face, long white hair and a gold iris in black sclera. Two different length horns crown his head. The right side of the image is marred by digital breakaways and red error messages.

Don't mind me, just obsessing about another cancelled show no one has seen. I've been trapped in a loop of just rewatching Pantheon the last couple weeks and had to art about it.

A large wing, strapped to a human arm, lies half-submerged in the shallows of a large body of water. Wax drips from between the feathers, catching the glow of early morning sunlight.

Another from '23. This was supposed to be just a quick sketchy thing that I ended up dumping 12+ hours into. As you do.

Hey thanks! I appreciate it!

A deer stands in a dry, barren forest hazy with morning fog and old smoke. The deer's eyes shine unnaturally, his antlers burning with bright orange flame and trailing black smoke behind them. Sunlight streams past. He is looking directly at you.

A mountain lion stands across a small creek in front of a waterfall. The cat's eyes are opalescent and fixed on the viewer. There is moss growing in her fur, dotted with tiny white flowers. The same white flowers grow along the trail in her wake. Warm sunlight streams through the trees. You have stumbled across something old and powerful.

Companion pieces, done about a year apart. Forest spirits that embody the careful balance of an ecosystem.

A black wolf-like canid with flaming eyes creeps out from behind a partially ruined headstone in a snowy graveyard. The headstone is adorned with a winged skull, an hourglass and flowers, and partially reads: "__es buried. _ctober 3rd __ the year 1733. Aged 27 years."

From last year. Inspired by church grims and folkloric black dogs.

A side profile bust of Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller in "The Last of Us" TV series. He is wearing a green plaid button-down, eyes cast slightly downward. There is a bright red crack across his right temple, following the location of his scar, and a subtle red glow in his eyes.

One month until The Last of Us season two. I am not ready.

To tide you over, here's a Joel portrait I did back in '23. "Hesitation Marks."
