I'm Stellar. Artist/author of the New Gods web serial "Red Shift". I also make Alton Towers art, specifically for the rollercoaster the Smiler. I love dark, industrial, + science fiction themes. Ω redshiftbymeltingcore.wordpress.com Ω meltingcore1408.tumblr.com Ω www.deviantart.com/meltingcore1...

A digital painting of a red cyberpunk landscape. A tornado rages in the distance and lightning strikes furiously.

A digital semi-realism painting of a woman with short, curly blonde hair done in a 50s pinup look. She has on green lipstick and her eyes are black with orange swirls. She has on a lab coat with a black/yellow corset on underneath. She sits at a desk with a syringe and other beakers filled with colourful liquids. A notebook is open with a smile scribbled into it. The background is black and repeatedly says "JOIN US NOW. SMILE ALWAYS. HA. HA. HA."

A traditional ink drawing of two women within a abstract circle. One woman grabs her head while the other reaches towards her with a devious smile. Both women are "crying" black lightning. The entire drawing is filled with abstract patterns of chess boards, arrows, an alien language, etc.

(WIP) You know the feeling of being everywhere and nowhere? Of knowing every possible road and every roof you could be under? Do you know what it feels like to balance a universe on an atom? That's my Oblivion. (Just some art I'm working on of my Oblivion lady. ♡) #ocsky #altontowers

"Testing Inconclusive" (OC) Some art of what the Ministry of Joy looks like in my "Velocity of Sound" story. Along with a suspicious Smiler... 🌀 #ocsky #altontowers

A digital painting of a dark, grungy industrial corridor. There is a flight of stairs on the right and a cluster of pipes on the left. A hazy yellow light illuminates everything and there are wires everywhere. A woman with short, curly blonde hair walks up the stairs. Green liquid pours down the stairs from her boots and curls around into the next set of stairs receding into darkness. A shadowy hand reaches out and long hair coils around it.

"The Constellations Yes, They Spoke To Me" (OC) (Usually I draw my Smiler character with a threatening aura but I really wanted to draw her calm this time ♡ 🌀)

A digital painting of my OC the Smiler standing among colourful blue/pink/purple clouds that spiral up into the night sky. She is small in the composition and bursting with light. She has short, curly blonde hair and a white lab coat on. There is a smiling constellation in the night sky above her.

"Go Ahead, Follow the Light" (OC) I've been on an roll lately with finishing paintings! So, here's another painting of my Smiler lady. This will be for the scene in my Alton Towers story "Velocity of Sound" where Rita first challenges the Smiler, unaware of the danger she is putting herself into. 🌀

A digital semi-realism painting of a woman with short, curly blonde hair. She has black eyes with orange swirls in them and black line tattoos running from the corner of her eyes to the corner of her lips. She has green lipstick on and is wearing a white lab coat. A yellow top peeks from underneath. She is looking back towards the viewer with a sinister, smug grin. There is a dark corridor with wires everywhere behind her.

“Total Eclipse” (OC) Art for my New Gods web serial “Red Shift”! Stellar of Apokolips: An interdimensional astronomer seeking exoplanets outside of her pocket dimension. She comes from a world shrouded in permanent twilight but she’s not exactly the one you should be wary of… #ocsky

A digital semi-realism drawing of a woman with silver skin and horns. She has red eyes and purple lipstick. She has long orange nails and and a few extra eyes, including one on her left shoulder. She is wearing a pretty red summer dress but she is not on Earth. She is on her home planet Apokolips and is surrounded by buildings with fire blazing on top of them. The sky is red with red clouds and a planet is permanently eclipsed in the sky, blocking out all light from her dimension's only star.

A digital semi-realism drawing of a man with ice blue hair and silver skin. His bangs cover his left eye and his exposed eye is ice blue. He has a futuristic, glowing halo and long, flowing robes that are a bright blue/green. His name, Galactica, is to the left of him. Text that reads "JOURNEY BEYOND_ VEGA 10 AWAITS_" is to the right of him. There is a line drawing of a futuristic portal behind him with the actual rollercoaster he based on coming out of it.

(OC) I finally finished the full body for how Oblivion appears in my story "Velocity of Sound". She is the Smiler's girlfriend and a sentient portal between dimensions. The actual rollercoaster she is based off of was the first dive coaster in the world! It drops you 180 feet into pitch darkness. ♡

(OC) Just a sketch I did of my Smiler OC in my sketchbook while watching Minecraft ARGs the other day. Cleaned it up in Clip Studio Paint. I have yet to draw her *not* with something sharp in her hand. I should draw her chilling out with a coffee or something. 😵‍💫 #altontowers

(OC) ("Let's Begin") Another painting I finished for my Alton Towers story "Velocity of Sound"! The Smiler (blonde lady) is a corrupt biologist looking to condense joy into a single serum. Here she is depicted with the woman who she will transform into her first Smiling Advocate, [REDACTED]. 🌀

A digital semi-realism painting of a woman with short curly blonde hair and black eyes with orange/yellow swirls in them gripping the face of another woman with blue eyes and purple hair. The blonde woman has on a white lab coat with a smile stitched onto it. She is wearing a black and yellow top underneath it. The second woman has a single tear rolling down her face. A surgical light is shining on both of them and a hazy medical room is the background. You can just barely make out a distorted smile on a screen and warning symbols on another.

I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE DROP FAN ART ON ME. ♡ I'm a fairly relaxed person so my only boundaries are don't uncouple canon pairings of my OCs, no extreme fetishes, and don't draw my OCs being murdered (I don't think anyone would actually do these things but I get really anxious thinking about it).

💙💚🤍 A R A Y U N D E R T H E L U C I D S K I E S 🌊🎢💙 A drawing of Manta in a Frutiger Aero landscape, drawn for fun. I believe it turned out great ^^ #oc #Manta #SeaWorld #frutigeraero

Manta is seen sitting on the ground, looking at the viewer with her head tilted to the right. In the background are two clearly seen deciduous trees, two windmills (one partially behind Manta's head) behind a bunch of faraway trees, and a futuristic looking city to the left. A rock to the bottom left of Manta has a few daisies growing near it, where a yellow butterfly and a ladybug are seen. There is a spring of water in front of where Manta is sitting, vibrant blue.

The title is inspired by "Lucid Skies", a Frutiger Aero inspired ambience video made by UK based artist Dreamfibre.

Thanks for hosting Shane and hope your week is starting off well! 😎🍷 So.e recent pieces of mine. (Optional) tags for @meltingcore1408.bsky.social @lcuonl.bsky.social @mirin-sauce.bsky.social

Pen drawing of a face on the left side of the page, with eyes closed and long hair, the black of space filled with ghostly white symbols and patterns that flow outward to the right. Tucked into the being's left shoulder is a striped, very fluffy, furry creature with rabbit like ears, black eyes and a snout more like a cat. These shapes flow towards a skull with tendrils similar to the being's hair, full of stars on inky blackness. In the distance other creatures resembling octopus, but with a skull for a head that the tentacles. In the background is a webbing of biomechanical shapes while additional examples of the furry creature flow up and around the right side of the page as if watching or guarding the scene between the large skull and the being.

Pen drawing centered on a face, eyes closed and face pointed down. The face is covered with tree light tattoos rising from the eyes with half-moon and circular symbols down the forehead. There is script flowing from below each eye and down the cheeks either side of black lips. A richly embossed collar is around their neck and the rest of their body is covered by metal discs and chains with various amulets covered in symbols or sculpted with eyes. Their hands are withered with the right one is tight to their chest while the other is raised and in a faint wispy white nimbus. Flanking this large figure are a set of smaller ones in high, richly embossed head-gear reading from large tomes that are on stands that appear to be made of a set of screaming faces. Rising up from behind the figures are columns with a stained glass appearing webbing between them while behind the main figure are a series of branching like structures.

Pen drawing of a large, multi-limbed female figure with the two of the larger limbs outstretched to the side and surrounded by globes of blue light while their main hands are positioned in front of them as if manipulating something invisible to the viewer. Sigils flow down their chest from their neck while their face is just an oval shaped void in their head while the hair is black like space and decorated with white gems to resemble stars. Their other arms diminish in side with the smallest of the four pairs only having two fingers and a thumb. They are standing over an eye like structure with a rippling, black fluid surface and white light shining out of an opening resembling an iris. Around them are metallic symbols made up lines of various thicknesses and circles while there are rips in the world with black void. Behind the figure is an electric blue sky that appears to be dripping while the surrounding walls are richly textured with more of the symbols like on the spheres, lit from within with a pale glow.

Pen drawing of a large, humanoid statue that appears to be made up of strands of rock, standing on an outcropping that has eroded into a branch looking structure emerging from the water filling a canyon from a waterfall at the far end. Along the edge of this canyon are sharply pointed pillars and orbs of stone over the green hued sky with streaks of purple and other colours through it. The sky appears ripped along an edge with black, night sky full of stars and streaks of light following as if a mirror to the canyon below. Purple 5 pointed star flowers blossom on parts of the canyon wall and around the outcropping the statue is on while, in the distance a citadel is carved out of the rock in the canyon, while scattered around and prominent near the lower right corner of the page appears to have a tablet inscribed with symbols.
