continuing to hone my speed drawing skills and I’m genuinely proud #digitalart

A bust sketch illustration of a beautiful gender ambiguous character. They have high cheekbones, large lashes, a huge high ponytail, and long fluffy ears on the sides of their head. It is drawn in a scribbly way that somehow translates to a tetsuya nomura esque style when zoomed out

I just had a vague recollection of an illustrator i followed in like 2009 (?). They had this gorgeous realism-adjacent indie american style and at least for some time had a webcomic site. Their work was line-based, black and white and richly detailed and shaded #comics #webcomics

The spider that weaves with secrets #ocsky #ocart #digitalart #darkart #horrorart cw: body horror, creepy, arachnophobia (?), trypophobia (?)

Looming above a bound, dark-skinned young man is a pale, humanoid creature with six spider-like arms. It is covered in stringy white hair that appears sticky like spider webbing. The long hair hangs from its body and limbs and sticks to the young man below it, with tendrils creeping over his body and winding around his forearms.

The young man has his hair in two tight braids and his hands are touching his face blindly. His eyes have an unnatural blue and vacant appearance.

The creature is suspended above him with its hands on the walls, its long neck craning down toward the young man. Instead of a face it has a distorted mask, as if each eye socket and mouth are vortexes that are stretching and duplicating its eyes and teeth into infinite swirling void.

i'm gonna hold your paws when i say this. social discomfort is something you have to learn to manage. it is YOUR responsibility. your neurodivergence does not absolve you- if anything, being a neurodivergent individual makes it MORE important that you manage your discomfort

#artfight attack no.4 - Zinru for @buboplague.bsky.social🩸 cw body horror, melting flesh, eyes/being watched, psychological distress

a young man with dark skin, white hair, and many occult tattoos. He is removing a wooden mask, and the skin on the further side of his face is sticking to the mask in fleshy strands. The closer side of his face bears a horrified expression. Behind him, a shadowy demonic figure lurks with fangs beared. There is a frenetic and malevolent energy around him, including many glowing eyes.

#artfight attack no.3 - Flix and Jae for @hell0w0.bsky.social🔥

A dusk scene of two women against a swaying bamboo background.
The woman in the foreground has her back to the viewer, weilding a sword which she is encasing in magic flame. The second woman, facing the viewer behind the first, is holding her hand close to the flame as if to control it. Her eyes glow with am unnatura green. They are both dressed in hanfu with gold, red and jade jewelry.

All this talk of whether it's important to dislike your work or not is only cementing further how important it is to be joyful whenever you can. To love your work so much, as often as you can, hopefully all the time. Life is so short.

I really love it when an artist I follow gets insanity levels of obsessed with [thing they like] and will not stop drawing it. It's so very charming. Go girl give us one billion drawings of that little freak in your head who I know nothing about. He's my blorbo in law now

I had a dream I went to a conference, and one of the speakers mentioned they wrote a book about tenets of a healthy relationship. I asked the merch team about buying it later and they were like "Oh yeah, the Sailor Moon book." 😂 Brain, what ?!

Look Outside is very "No thanks, I love it." It's disgusting. It's art. I'm obsessed. It has that ideal intersection of cosmic and body horror in a way that makes you saddened and disturbed yet grateful you exist, and inspired to persevere in hope and community. #LookOutside #LookOutsideGame
