I don't know who this is, so not sure if I should be worried or not.

Looks like that answers my question.

crypticrock.com/pinocchio-un... Remember that weird Winnie the Pooh slasher flick? The same crew gave Pinocchio the same treatment with #PinocchioUnstrung. Is it any good? Well...click the link for the answer.

crypticrock.com/the-theft-of... Based loosely on a real life incident, #TheTheftoftheCaravaggio is an art heist flick with a difference. But is it a good difference? Check the link to find out.

crypticrock.com/the-odyssey-... Little late to the party, but I saw #TheOdyssey, and managed to write a review about it! Check it out at the link above.

Little racy for my usual work, but there's nothing wrong with a little passion. If anything it feels overdue for me. #art #artist #painting #acrylicart #acrylicpainting #kiss #wlw #lesbian #LGBTQ

Dabbled in oils this time, with a portrait of Kali, Hindu goddess of time, death, destruction and more. Maximum fury, maximum power, but also maximum compassion, or so I'm told. #oil #oilpainting #painting #paints #oilpaints #Kali #Makali #Hinduism #god #gods #goddess #art #artist

Kali, a three-eyed goddess in blue with red and white face paint, cries in fury while wearing a garland of decapitated heads.

Two more #Jojo style doodles in #pen. One of which does use a reference from Araki's sketches. The real test is doing one as a painting sometime. #JojosBizarreAdventure #art #figure #figuredrawing #monochrome #manga #anime

Trying out a #manga style #portrait, going for a #Jojo look for my gf. She's more into Sailor Moon, but she liked it either way 😊 maybe next time. #JojosBizarreAdventure #pen #ink #pendrawing #monochrome #blackandwhite #blueskyart

Little #pencilsketch #portrait. Mostly just playing around. I'm pretty confident doing portraits like this. Colouring them in one way or the other is the real test. #art #pencil #pencils #pencildrawing #sketch #face #smooch

Ever wondered what making a movie for The Asylum was like? The #Sharknado guys? No? Well, #Mockbuster answers that question anyway, and it turns out it's not exactly a cakewalk. crypticrock.com/mockbuster-m...

4 shorts come together to tell a harrowing tale of a zombie outbreak in Argentina. Just try and catch #PortraitsoftheApocalypse subbed rather than dubbed. crypticrock.com/portraits-of...

#BiaoRen, one of China's top manhua, got a live-action adaptation, and it has pretty lofty ambitions. Read on to see if it achieved them. crypticrock.com/blades-of-th...

I also do movie reviews from time to time, and I did one on #SpiderManBrandNewDay for CrypticRock. Was it good? Or just another day in the week for the MCU? Read on to find out. crypticrock.com/spider-man-b...

Goddess of the dawn, or something like that. Came out a little more garish than intended, but I'm fairly pleased with the final result. #art #painting #acrylicart #acrylicpainting #fantasy #muscle #landscape #landscapepainting

Dash guarding his food like Smaug with his hoard.

A black and white cat sleeping on top of a pile of cat food in a box, akin to Smaug the dragon sleeping in his treasure in The Hobbit.

Haven't used #pencilcrayons in decades. Think I did okay with this portrait, but I generally prefer bolder mediums. #art #portrait #african #sketch

Between Dream Girl and Blade Runner 2049, which one did it better?

Little grab bag of sketches I've been tinkering with.

Egyptian Nubian woman with her twin daughters.

A comparatively restrained take on Kali, Hindu goddess of destruction and compassion.

A tweaked pencil sketch of women in love, playing with hairstyles.

Old school Bollywood couple Dharmendra Deol and Hema Malini.

No, it's not groundhog day. I tweaked some details from the last #painting of an #athlete. Any more and I'd probably be better off doing it all over again ^^; #acrylicart #acrylicpainting #art #artist #blueskyart #sport #traditionalart #traditionalpainting

Random #painting of an #athlete. No specific athlete. Just testing out some poses, details and paint shades. #acrylicart #acrylicpainting #art #artist #blueskyart #sport #traditionalart #traditionalpainting

Venting sone frustration with a #pencilsketch. Maybe I'll turn it into a painting someday. Because why not?

Trust me to get into a largely positive-vibey strip like Nerd & Jock, and have one of its more violent panels be my favourite (Ep 220). "A cheesy speech to save your boyfriend's hide?" "No. Die"
