Sure do hope I’m doing alt text right.

A screenshot of alt text that says, “A drawing of 2 roses and a stem with leaves in the same composition as the previous image except it doesn’t suck.”

If my client doesn’t like what I drew, I might cry.

AI generated black and white rose with stem and leaves. It makes no sense. Petals are folding into themselves, the leaves and stems have lines that connect to nowhere.

I think I’m gonna redo this one. I love the lineart, I’m just REALLY unsatisfied with my color choices. #HorrorArt #DarkArt

Screenshot from Procreate. A femme creature stands with her hands clasped in front of her in a fire. She’s wearing a silver Elizabethan dress with a frilled collar. She has horns that fade down into the area where her eyes should be. Her one glowing red eye is at the center of her forehead.

It’s late, but I wanna say that my cat Juniper is such a great familiar cat. I was doing some spellwork that was emotionally draining and he chirped right in my ear and curled into my lap. Bestest boy. #witchsky

Finished this sketch. Not really a fan, but I might play with the idea a little more 😅 #DarkArt #BidyHorror

Self portrait drawn in Procreate. Figure has stringy blonde hair under a green hood. Her right eyelid is split into quadrants and the skin is twisted. Her mouth is doubled and pulled into a frown that droops down her right side.

If my four-legged son could stop attacking my toes from beneath my covers, I would appreciate it. (Picture of the four-legged son in question)

A white short-haired cat curled on a blue blanket with his belly exposed. He looks so cute and innocent, but his middle name is literally "Morningstar."

✨ How is the witchy community here? Is there less homophobia and white supremacy that I typically find in these spaces? #witchsky #witchcraft

Hello, Lovelies! I’m an artist and a writer who specializes in #Horror #DarkArt & #PopSurrealism I have an art book and horror anthology podcast currently in the works! (I have podcast BTS info on my Ko-fi 👀) linktr.ee/mxvile

A portrait of a masculine figure with red hair. He’s surrounded in a green energy and has an oozing, human-like bite on the right side of his neck. The flesh is pierced, bloody, and peaked into mounds.

A feminine figure looking over her shoulder at the viewer. She has a buzzed undercut and purple hair draped to one side. Her eyes are bright and blue and matches the color and glow of the halo above her head. There are red eyes on the back of her jacket all looking in multiple directions and she is surrounded by a hot pink energy that surrounds her like fire.

A feminine figure at the center of the composition grabbing her melting face and staring at the viewer. Her dark hair cascades down her shoulders like the dark blood that oozes from her eyes, mouth, and nose. The skin under her left eye is flayed open. She is surrounded by vertical streaks of purples and blues and there is a double exposure of her screaming face to the right side of her.

A figure with silvery-blue hair is wearing a bloodied straight jacket. She has a bleeding cleft lip and a fresh lobotomy bruise at her left eye. Blood pours down the side of her face from her procedure and drips from her chin. Her nails are long and yellow and she is surrounded by a void of swirling red, like blood.

I had wanted to finish this piece on stream tomorrow, but I have an early client that I need to prepare for. Look at her though! Glorious. Gonna be covered in buckets of blood later. 🥰 #art #vampire

I genuinely hate this piece so far and don’t know what to dooooooo 😭

A feminine, horned being in a silvery-bronze Rococo dress. Her hands are clasped in front of her and she’s wearing a large red agate pendant. The spots where her eyes should be blend in with the transition of her horns and there is a single red eye at the center of her forehead, slitted like a cat eye. An anatomical heart hovers over her head between or horns. Fire engulfs the heart and either side of the figure with a bluish glow around the yellow flames.

I’m having a weird crisis with my horror art lately. It feels so…boring. 😐Or maybe it’s the post-covid depression, who knows? 😂

Alex, I'll take *Things I have Googled for Writing Purposes* for 800 please.

I screenshot of a Google search. The search bar reads "how much usable meat is on an average male human." Top answer reads, "When factoring in muscle percentage and average weight, a typical adult human will yield around 75 pounds of edible meat topping out at about 49,000 calories, while the dressed weight of an average pig is roughly 140 pounds."

Not me scrolling through photos of me and seeing tons of me with my little fingers after I learned to snap. I kept snapping and stimming until people called me annoying and I remember hiding in corners to snap my fingers where no one could hear me. This poor autistic baby.

Social media has made me a worse artist. There’s so much emphasis on content creation that we don’t allow ourselves to make something ugly or get messy with our studies because we’re obligated to post every second of our studio time, but posting anything less than perfect loses you followers.

In other news, I'm proud of my superpower (my ability to hang shelves and picture frames without measuring and getting them perfectly in line and level).
