Dreadfully Grim

Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite

A very intense read that may be a bit too much to stomach for the overtly empathetic and those with weaker constitutions. Masterfully written within its context overflowing a well of despair and bile.

Picked up a new one tonight and dropped it into an antique decanter!

Hemwick really is such a big ass cat when you see him like this.

Decided this is my go-to. It never steers me wrong.

Years ago I did a little sketch of the Imp from DOOM 2016. Long after that I decided to give him digital life!

I’ve also got a cacodemon sketch. Should I give that the same treatment?

Tonight’s glass is filled with a Canadian whisky called “Legacy”. Pretty smooth, all things considered. Would be dangerous in a mixed drink ‘cause you’d hardly be able to tell.

Rooted in classical expression, my paintings also look to the future. They gaze out upon the world we live in, but also inward, to the worlds we only see in our dreams, memories, and imagination.

Can’t remember if I ever posted my first digital self portrait. Well, here it is with a couple backgrounds anyway. Hopefully I’ve improved on the next one I do!

Getting older I’ve started getting more into whiskey. May even call me a connoisseur, or becoming one.

Especially since cannabis is no longer safe for me. 🥲

Just finished @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social’s Veniss Underground. As a former SFX artist, this world seems like a dream to take on with practical effects.

Reading Balzac’s War at the end has made me want to try my hand at sketching Jamie/Flesh hound too… so maybe that’ll happen soon.

An awkward gesture? He turned around and did it a second time! Does this not look deliberate?

How anyone can see this as anything but a nazi salute is deliberately glib.

And fyi, the “Roman salute”, also known as the FASCIST salute was molded to become the nazi salute. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME.

Start training yourselves. Educate yourselves on basic combat and self-defense. If emotionally able, acquire and learn how to use a firearm.

Nocturne S2 had some incredibly tasty animation.

Drew up a turtle ship/sub for my wife’s DnD campaign.
His name’s Leonard.

Sketching digitally is still weird to me.

Made gyoza 🥟 for the first time tonight. First dumpling by hand actually. I’m no Japanese grandma, but I’d say these don’t look half bad! Now to taste them once cooked…

Usually when I post photos of myself it’s usually like my pfp or old modeling/spfx makeup photos of mine. But I figure I’d rather stick with who I am right now than just focusing on the past. So, here’s some proof of life!

A lesson I struggle to adhere to everyday.

New artsy 💨sy pfp

Working on developing concepts for a comic and I need femme neck and jaw references for my sketches. But man, what an awkward thing to request. 😅

The binary dripping at the bottom reads: “Capitalist AI breeds Creative Death”.

Embarrassing how long I had to scroll to find more art I made. I really need to kick it back into gear! But I’m being kind to myself about it.
Made this when AI started getting big and stealing art.
It may not be my favorite as far as technique but it was born of strong emotion!

Brown and white pitbull wearing blue ray ban styled sunglasses with very expressive eyebrows.

Dog eyebrows evolved due to our direct impact as humans on their domestication.

So now this 100lbs nugget can give me the puppy face without his eyes showing.

Rude. But also we love him so much.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

A small canvas painted fluorescent yellow has a gray witch cauldron cooking over a stylized flame. There is green goo, eye balls, pink and purple smoke with a face in it, and a bat emerging from the top.

A cauldron of witchy delights!

Kind of a departure from other stuff I’ve done, but I’ve been trying to work on styles I’m less familiar/comfortable with to broaden my abilities.

So more vibrant and cute stuff will pop up!

I warned you there'd be dad jokes.

Monsters can also dress up for Halloween!

A lil’ fella I drew up in October.
Done with POSCA markers, liquitex paint, and ink.

Hit up @skywatch.blue and their lists. Very handy. Keep your peace. We’re beyond trying to educate them anymore. All it is, is hands now.

I guess my next thing is showing off art I’ve previously made huh (I’d show you current stuff but uh… yeah gimme a minute to get the creative font juices flowing again).
