“There are far worse things awaiting man than death.” – Film “Dracula” (1931)

happy Halloween!

Anyways have a pumpkin I carved and some body horror art I made :3

Inktober 1 poison + extra limbs

Here’s and art dump from some of the stuff that i’ve posted on the Yume Nikki Amino!

We are relatively small but we have a lot of fun!

Churning, twisting, coiling to the breath of the void.

A ripple of discomfort, an intruder-

Like a thorn in its side.

Tendrils crept along the darkness, curling in agitation to the sound of the light speaking. Annoying, annoying-

It couldn't voice its own thoughts though, a soft, timid buzz echoed instead, "L-lovely d-day, lov-vely day. A-are yo-u-u lost?"

The tendrils lifted from the murk, exposing thorns and slightly distorting into a pale, viscous goop. The source slid out of hiding, finally able to gaze better up at the light that pierced through the darkness. It was only a few feet tall, wilted, crooked, oozing akin to an amalgamate, with a singular eye studying her intently. From the shape and layers of its face, perhaps it was a flower at some point.

...

It twitched and peeled back the layers, exposing rows of teeth in rings around the beak in the center, twin lights gazing from within. The ever-so-pleasant buzzing voice echoed again, however the creature's malicious intent finally seeped through. "I am too."

The vines snaking across the ground swept forward, first aiming for Mara's feet in hopes of snaring them.

The moment the temperature drops, she knows she’s hit a new section of the void. It’s the best way to find new places, meet new people!

Unfortunately, its also the best way to find trouble. Mara glances around warily, shouldering her pack as she continues on her way. She’s done this before time and time again, but the unease never truly leaves.

Something slinks out of the corner of her eye, and she remains still, unwilling to tip off any possible pursuers. Gods, she hates the dark. She hums a simple crackling tune, one hand silently slinking to the aetherspace where she stores her sword.

Remembered I have a tumblr.

Lil thing for an art competition I'm participating in. The vague story is he's being held up awaiting trial for serving cunt to hard, the body count proves it smh.

Prison officer got too mouthy and too cocky so he gave him a parting gift in which he was parted. Poor baby is a messy eater but he loves having friends over for dinner

It pours from you.

I actually don't mind (for the most part) how the anatomy came out on these. Despite our lecturer having no idea how to draw actual bodies and muscleature and being generally really stupid with how she described the "differences in body shapes"

Gradeschool level anatomy class aside, I actually don't mind some parts of these. And also you get some rough monster designs as a palette cleanser.

Ah, the sweet joys of TAFE work you alter to whatever the hell you want. 16th March, 2021

I may have no pen pressure, and be using a phone, but stress-drawing waits for no man.

Self portrait

Watercolour and 0.8mm artline pen

More phone art? Its more likely than you think.

Did I ever mention that I've made a shitty self insert for no fandom whatsoever that I've been drawing on my phone when I'm on the hour train ride to TAFE?

Yeah. That's a thing that's kinda been happening.

Benrey + D5? 👁👁

Whoops. Looks like someone forgot to turn on God Mode.

And here we have my Plauge Marine Greater possessed/Demon Prince oc. I dot really have a ton of personal lore on her yet, but she does lead my custom Death Gaurd Warband "The Masque of the Crimson Rot"

Final AF Attacks 2024

(Heads up, there's some gore and body horror in this batch)

@yangularoo 's scug, The Runner

ItsApricots' yeti paladin, Hima

@aettovon's wonderful shapeshifter Fawkes

_AKNULL's romantic vamp, Lucius

1AMWolfram's silly little scorpion, Vein

And lastly, cheeky-scrub's storm cleric, Amarum Ai

And that was Art Fight! These were all a ton of fun to draw. I can only hope I can keep up the same speed for like. my own characters and projects. But ey regardless, good month! 40 attacks! And 27 back at me! WHICH IS A LOT! Thanks so much to everyone who attacked me- I am now stricken with the deep desire to print them all out and hang them on my wall. Here's to next year- and good luck with everything 'till then!

The new spider verse short was amazing

Closeup under break

V2s defeat was satisfying and necessary for the flow of the game

but…

the thing about “meaningless gore” is that even when it’s apparently not intellectual enough for so many people, it forces the viewer to confront the fact that they are just meat, they are mortal, they can and will eventually die, and pain is part of the human experience that unfortunately none of us will escape experiencing at one point or another. life is both horrifyingly fragile and surprisingly resilient which makes existing in a body a fraught experience regardless of whether we want to acknowledge that or not. “to watch a horror movie is to know that something bad is going to happen. to have a body is really the same thing.” anyway that in and of itself is plenty to grapple with and if a film decides to only deal with that, i don’t think it’s less valuable than any other theme a film might address
