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

A digital semi-realism drawing of a woman with silver skin and glowing orange hair. Her bangs cover her left eye and her present eye is glowing red. It has a glowing orange symbol inside that is an oval with a downward arrow attached.

"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.

Congratulations on the milestone, Billy! And thank you so much for the artshare 🖤 💫 I'm Célia, a France-based artist who specialises in character illustration and dabbles in comics and animation when time allows ✨

Painting of an anthropomorphic otter waltzing with a cloaked figure embodying Death. The otter looks startled and scared. Death has boney hands, a skull for a face and a purple "eye" mirroring the otter's. The illustration is mostly in black and white with a red moon silouhetting both characters. A scythe appears on the right side of the piece, and a cemetery is on the left side of it.

Painted portrait of Sariel from Ikemen Prince with a snake wrapped around his shoulders. The snake has gold and black scales with orange eyes. A streak of light illuminates the bottom of Sariel's face. A blue fog comes from the bottom of the picture.

Painting of a cervid skeleton holding up strings which link back to a human. The strings make the human character act like a puppet. The piece is depicted in shades of dark sepia

Illustration of a anthropomorphic white tiger character holding a lamp torch as they stand in front of a tall and ominous building. The piece is dark and has a creepy, offsetting vibe.

Congrats billy! 😎🍷 I'm Dan and i draw cosmic and/or strange scenes with pens on paper (Optional) tags for @runningcritter.bsky.social @cristianaleone.com @michalputo.art @crimsangel.bsky.social @akanelogics.bsky.social

Pen drawing of a seated, feminine figure in a regal pose upon a throne of stone and bone carved faces and shapes with sigils arrayed around the back behind them. Their dress is black with metal around the torso, a white necklace and flows up into a smooth black mask dominated by a white circle with three equidistant spheres in place of a face. Behind the throne are two imposing skeletal, elongated skulled beings obviously bound in tight collars with their arms bound to their side while a menagerie of forms are arrayed behind the throne including a multi-limbed salamander looking creature, two naga-like beings, a large headed humanoid with white eyes and a large headed animal with canid and feline features. Framing the scene is a broken stone wall carved with symbols while a black void bisected with arcs and spheres in white create a geometric rendition of space. In the foreground is a ceremonial inverted acorn type object with various stone tablets around it while a bird skull being looks at the viewer from the lower right hand corner.

Pen drawing of a face covering most of the page starting from the right set against a black sky shot through with cracks of white light that puts the face in sharp contrast. The face is made up of many different components and shapes. One eye is solid black, the other is white with a pulse like pattern while the raw, textured bio-mechanical surface is exposed to the air. A glowing gem like structure sits at the third eye, surrounded by stretched over bubble textured skin, both are over vaguely metallic cybernetic components. Under where the nose would be is a smaller face, eyes jet black with oval metallic speaker grills center, left and right with spindly, bony hands holding a gem like structure under the mouths with the legs underneath them and it flows down into a neck of thick strand of bio-mechanical tendons.

Pen drawing of a humanoid being sitting down cross legged in front of a circular void being orbited by debris and strange twisting shapes. The head of the being is a large bird skull with geometric sigils carved into it with a circular halo rising up from behind the head with spikes pointing outward along the top half with crimson symbols embedded in it. The hair like structures flow down over its arms that feed into the machine-like stone constructs that have red streaked stained glass like windows that evoke blood and muscle with eyeball like protrusions. Rising up around the figure are slender stone columns with circles of crimson make patterns behind the being and the large angled beams that intersect behind it. Rising up in the foreground are two large memorial wall structures in obsidian with ghostly white symbols on them while two fae float near them, their night black bodies lined with glowing white tattoos.

Pen drawing set under a sky of electric blue and plasma pink and silver stars is a large wave like structure made up of cloud like swirls. The wave crests up to the top of the page and curls into a thick base that has a humanoid figure with an outstretched hand that seems to be guiding the curl that ends in a bird-of-prey like face with a hooked beak. Flowing across the body of the page is a swirling mass of these clouds in black and white that curl upward on the other side into sharply rising waves that are off in the distance with several smaller wavelets trying to fall back to the low point between the bigger wave with the figure and the steep wave on the other side.

Square crop of a digital drawing depicting Saya from Saya no uta. She is holding a small tray with a parfait cup overflowing with vaguely meaty matter, with a spoon stuck in it. She's smiling, looking at the viewer, standing on one leg, with the other one bent at the knee. She has her wings, which frame her on both sides. The background is solid red.
