Illustration of an anthropomorphised Brontosaurus in an early 19th century dress standing with a quill pen in her right hand at a writing desk with a sheaf of papers. She faces left, but her head is turned slightly towards the viewer. Beneath the desk are scattered a few more sheets of a manuscript. In the background, a framed silhouette portrait of the head and neck of another sauropod hangs on the wall.

Because this seems to be doing the rounds again elsewhere. Perhaps the only piece of mine to have gone mildly viral, shunted uncredited like an orphan from workhouse to workhouse across the Internet over the years. 🤓

A pixelated 3D render of a sort of sea slug wearing a yellow party hat. The slug is purple with green stripes and a yellow underbelly. It has enormous shiny red lips for kissing.

A 3D render of a vaguely bovine head emerging from a white ball that is sort of wooly, but also sort of smeared smudged. It has twisting horns that flatten out unexpectedly, and tongue dangling beneath its snout.

A screenshot of a 3D hand. The nails are painted red. The thumb is too large. There is a face on the palm. It is wearing eye liner. It looks annoyed.

drawing of a woman entering some kind of cyber glowing bat, in a room full of old looking computers and wires and cables
there's a huge aquarium in the background with fishes and deepsea-like algae, etc.
the woman is linked to a machine by cables in her left thigh and neck, her eyes glow green and her skin too in some places

A screenshot of a render of human male head with a handlebar mustache with a toon shader, looking up from below. From this angle you can see how weird the lips and eyes are, and how lumpy the nose.

An attempt at something that isn't body horror.

A screenshot of an approximation of a human foot with a crudely sculpted human face on the sole. Sort of like vampire hunter D for the foot. Presumably it eats dirt.

A rocky thing covered in moss with tentacles seems like it's looking back over it's shoulder and gesturing to you. It is not. That is just a weird quirk of this angle.

These didn't turn out to be frogs either.
