hello #PortfolioDay! i'm zack, an illustrator and comic artist who likes drawing dark fantasy, horror, and queer men. i'm available for illustration and comic gigs! #oc #illustration #comics VGen | Portfolio | Links | vampbyte.art@gmail.com

A dark illustration of a vampire wearing a tattered hood. He has shaggy black hair, red eyes, and long fingernails. He's holding a strange occult object with a dangling crow's foot at the end. In the background, various other unusual occult objects (a mask, a jar with a fetus, a skeletal hand with jewelry, etc.) are visible. The art has a red ornamental border with the word BLAISE on one side.

An illustration featuring a man with long blonde hair bathed in blue shadow. He's looking over his shoulder at a mirror which is reflecting itself over and over in its center. The art is bordered with a white glass-like border featuring angel wings. Text on the left side reads "Wanderer of Time" and "Angel of Man"

An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them.

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.

This is kind of stalled out around 27k after the intial support. If you haven’t seen before please consider boosting. Or it it’s been a while, reboosting.

For folks who made money through Tapas ad revenue and are now building their own sites: this is probably one of the sites you want to use for rebuilding ad revenue

You can primarily tell when artwork is human made because it rewards you for zooming in instead of punishing you

something only i can see

A black and white comic page.

Panel 1: A candle in the dark
Panel 2: Two characters (a large man with pointed ears, dark skin, and a fat build on the left, and a long-haired human man with light skin on the right) are preparing to go to sleep. The human man is lying on his side and the pointed-eared man is sitting up.
Panel 3: The pointed-eared man leans over and kisses the other man on the side of the head
Panel 4: A panel of both men lying on their sides, the candlelight now extinguished.
Panel 5: A close-up of the human man's face. He looks disturbed.
Panel 6: Staring back at the human is his own dead body. Its skin is covered in blood and bruises and its eyes are vacant.

A portrait illustration of a man with pale skin and black hair staring at the viewer. He's wearing a black trench coat and is putting on a pair of black gloves. Behind him is a wall and a framed picture of a black butterfly, both splattered with blood.

metamorphosis

A black and white comic page. In the first panel, a long-haired man with elf ears is holding up a lantern in the darkness to look at something. In the second panel, he uses a dagger to cut through a wad of flesh, revealing the face of a person beneath (SFX: SKKKT). The third panel shows a gigantic blob of flesh and many agonized human faces peering out from it, being consumed.

An illustration of a shadowy figure with curly hair standing beside a crooked mirror. In the mirror, the same person is lying on their back holding a rose to their chest, staring blankly ahead as though dead. The art is primarily black and white with a red glowing background.,

gravemarker.

two illustrations in a shared frame depicting verrot and ichnaea in a graveyard, cradled by a yew tree. one illustration features the pair dancing, while the other reveals them shirtless on a cemetery bench. verrot's face is buried behind ichnaea's wing and a knife is angled towards the pale elf's chest.

a horse with no name

An illustration of my vampire oc, Tristan, from my original story Les contes du nécromant.

In a scene framed by brambles, Tristan rides the pale horse of death, wandering in the desert. He is dejected, his shoulders slumped and his hair obscuring his face. Three red arrows are planted in his back. A black ray coming from a moon circled by pointy bits, featuring a pattern of red droplets cuts across the landscape.

The background is split in two. In the upper section, brambles and roses overrun a tangle of animal and human bones.
In the lower section, a row of grave : each one bears a bat motif.

What’s the age threshold where you finally understand that a story’s success does not depend on how much it is morally instructive, because I swear if you are on Bluesky you are too old to be holding onto that.

It’s telling that as soon as indies birthed on the internet proved we did not need them, corpos rushed to infiltrate those spaces, shepherd everyone into walled gardens and play nice juuuust long enough to fill their honeypots before snapping the trap, recreating the toxic studio dependency

would've been very cool if tapas themselves told creators about it shutting down before everyone heard about it elsewhere online but 🤷‍♂️

black pearl and liquid gold

An illustration of a man with tan skin and long black hair looking deviously at the viewer with his chin resting in his palm. Behind him are two silhouettes of himself (a yellow-tinted one on the left who is holding a strange golden blob in his hand and looking excited, and a blue-tinted one wearing a mask and hat and holding a black staff). In the far back is a golden-faced angelic creature with a small beady eye at the center of its face. It's surrounded by a ring of garbled text and the word YVON. The backdrop is a pixelated blue image of the ocean, and a golden fish spine acts as the leftmost border.

⚠ PSA to artists and clients on #VGen about a Discord scam going around!! ⚠ a scammer is scraping profiles (both artists and clients) to make fake discord accounts impersonating them, then reaching out to people they've worked with in the past who have their discord info publicly visible

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

"The largest theft of labor in human history." We done knew it. (www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...)

Executives working on AI at Microsoft and OpenAI admitted what its critics have been saying all along: Large language models are predatory pieces of technology that have been built on what a Microsoft executive called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.”

under the dark desert sun

An illustration of two figures standing in front of a desert landscape. On the left is a much shorter and heavier-set man, with long blonde hair, elf ears, and a bone mask on his face. He is wearing ragged armor and a cape. On the right, a much taller man is fully concealed in shadow, wearing a wide ripped hat, a cloak over his body, and a mask covering his entire face. In the distance, an ominous black mass is floating in the sky. The image is bordered with an embossed, organic looking pattern.

well it seems i am Boned because as far as i can tell, you can't actually report someone on discord without being able to view their profile itself, and i can't do that without them accepting me as a friend which they are definitely not going to do...
