this one was a close second and personally I like it more

highly detailed ballpoint pen drawing of a body horror monster made of flesh and metal and probably also plant matter.

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky

psychedelic abstract gel pen and marker drawing of some hallucinogenic nonsense. One of the most colourful things I ever drew, and certainly the most colourful thing I made on real paper. it got 500ish likes which was neat.

Went tent camping with some family for a weekend this month and spent most of my free time drawing in a tiny sketchbook. #art #drawing #sketchbook

Just in time for the new year, I did it: I finished a sketchbook that I've been working on as a side project since 2019. A small sketchbook filled with full page completed illustrations and sketches. cover to cover, both sides of every page. 56 drawings counting the covers.

Here's a few more pictures. She would often reach out and grab people when they stopped paying attention to her.

A month ago I had to put my cat Mila down. Haven't talked or posted about it much. I've lost pets before, but her passing affected me way more & for way longer than I thought it would. She was a great cat that loved & was loved by everybody that met her.

If there was some news about Adolf Hitler, I would've heard.

So much detail put into this thing, and yet I still think the superior version is the one caked in loads of fake film grain that obscures most of it.

Toothface I think I haunted myself with this painting. #art #darkart #horrorart #digitalart

Digital painting of a monstrous, red face covered in teeth. It is in the dark and covered in static.

"Lydaya, Goddess of Orphans" D&D OC Commission for a friend. #art #digitalart #darkart #dndart #d&dart #dnd #d&d

Digital painting of a D&D OC. They are a hybrid character with a bottom half that is a giant purple bioluminescent squid monster with a visible mouth full of sharp teeth, and a top half that is a dark elf with black raven wings and glowing eyes and no facial features. Also, she is "tastefully Quelaag'd" (actual directions).

Sketching and underpainting started in Procreate but moved to Gimp fairly early on.

I've noticed this account gaining traction among a few people I follow. Sadly this person is blatantly posting unedited and/or barely edited AI output and trying to pass it off as original art. With a lot of the other images it's hard to spot but they were especially careless posting this one.

reposted image with highlighted examples of AI image generation artifacts, including multiple instances of the model failing to maintain consistent lines when objects overlap.

thanks! I went for a different approach than usual, but it worked well. I started with a greyscale sketch, then I created a new layer and added colour haphazardly, overlaying it with the "color" layer setting (should be the same in any art app). it's chaotic but helps me break colour choice habits

2. original color layer with no transparency

detail shots of some of my favourite bits because i just realized how compressed bsky's images are. i put too much hand-painted detail in this one for it to go to waste lol

i call this one "inscrutable nonsense" in the alt text but there is actually kind of a method to the madness. i saw a graphic of the chemical used in ritalin (Methylphenidate) and thought it kind of looked like a face when flipped upside down. my pareidolia is working around the clock

painting process. minor epilepsy warning. I was working on "Weirdos" when I took out a reference image and mistakenly painted on it with symmetry still active. I was suddenly struck by an idea and I needed to immediately switch to it instead. #art #digitalart #abstractart #psychedelicart

Painting process. You can briefly see me come up with my next idea mid-painting, when I bring up the face I use as a reference. #art #digitalart #timelapse
