Hey fam, I'm a little enby full of rage. I draw monsters for money and make weapon props for funsies. At work I often get to draw NPC's to open specs; I use that opportunity to draw a Burger King Kids Club level of diverse hotties. Humans are hot, so that means *everyone*. Welcome!

When you draw a lot of human figures you just get used to looking at "artistic noods" so I've NO idea what level of appropriateness others will consider this phalanx of nude giants, but this is my job. It's actually one of my favorites, the #Kingdomdeath Boneeaters. #fantasy #horror #ttrpg #drawing

Seven overly muscled, terrifying, mostly nude giants dressed in only in bones are singing at you. Art for a tabletop game.

I guess we, as a monolith, are doing Bluesky now? I'll be real I chose my username when there were 53 people on here and it absolutely did not matter. Sorry for reshares, but I'm starting over. This art is from the Kingdom Death philosophies and it's about the shock of walking by a mirror, I guess.

There's a lot of narrative around faces and sculpting faces and finding faces and losing your face and a huge man sculpting an inverse of his face into your face at my job and that's pretty cool. #faces #pareidolia #sculpture #digitalpainting #darkart #macabre #illustration #spooky #kingdomdeath

I was given some specs about crystal and sound and I think they gave me the gongs but I THINK I decided on the subterranean cursed hot steam pipe organ. Collaboration! I'm proud of bagpipes guy. #kingdomdeath #darkart #crystalhealing #music #roleplaying #spelunking #jamband #goth

Ok so, I shared this earlier and quite frankly it did *not* get enough attention, I now realize that the thumb just looked like a Lisa Frank unicorn ate some funny shrooms and shat a blurry mass of #cmyk. So here, I made crops, appreciate my tiny beautiful NPCs #kingdomdeath #horror #gourmet #babes

Saw this phrasing yesterday for the first time and realized it was right Why should we even have to say it Like the sign is frankly indignant it even has to be here

Me: Gender is a construct. I await it's oppressive end. Long live the enby genderfluid refusal to assimilate. Also me: Here are some #sapphic tiddy-babes and their hulking hypermasc animal friends don't read into it #titty #babes #furry #pencildrawing #sketch #pinup #thicc #kawaii #beastcake

A weird part of my job is that it almost always involves the elegant positioning of some enormous carcass. #pencildrawing #horrorart #macabre #ritual #ttrpg #conceptart #kingdomdeath #fantasyart #gaming #gators

A group of tribal humans skin an enormous monster crocodile. But it's super elegant.

A lot of times in #illustration for #kingdomdeath I'm drawing survivors less than an inch tall in some huge environment. But that does not stop me from overthinking them, and how they need monster-tooth platform gaiters in a superhot forge. #horror #fantasyart #pencildrawing #conceptdesign #ttrpg

A lil guy approaches a looming monster corpse as all his bros make wild fantasy weapons out of it.

Closeup of the brave lil man with a lantern approaching a black ominous void.

My girl working hard to shine a monster bone sword.

Sketches of the Kingsmith workers and protective gear. They wear what I personally think are awesome thigh high boots made with tooth platforms, but I am biased.

One of my favorite things about illustrating for games is designing NPC's. Heroes have all sorts of expectations set on them. NPC's are just here for the good times. I also get to draw different kinds of humans. I am into humans. #kingdomdeath #meat #cuddles #ttrpg #bodypositive #characterdesign

I only did ten thousand sketches of Atnas the Bad Santa Baby Eater (not official name), but he's not in my work files, so like a real pro I went and downloaded my own work from the Kingdom Death CRM #conceptdesign #fantasy #horror #ttrpg #happyholidays #kingdomdeath #atnas

An exceptionally disturbing Santa menaces a young lady with a beard made of hands. She's got a sword, tho.

I've no idea how often I'm supposed to post. I didn't use Twitter a friend invited me and I was like "absolutely, I didn't want to go to therapy today anyway." Art for the #ttrpg #kingdomdeath holla if you like that creepy shit #creepy #monsters #fantasyart #liminal #gaming

A physically fit dude with a blindfold runs down a staircase which is also, unfortunately, turning into monsters, he can't see it but the screaming face he's carrying does.
It's pretty trippy all spiraly and stuff

God it's been so long since I had a new social media, here's an image I hope this platform doesn't wreck. Some original art for the #ttrpg #kingdomdeath.

A hella sick monster made of bones and sadness menaces some much smaller fantasy dudes, most of whom have their butts out.
