I go by Vandy, I’m a hobbyist illustrator with a particular enjoyment of drawing monsters and all sorts of manner of creatures. I am currently collaborating on a series of children’s books called ADVENTURE ACE. I also love to make my own original characters and other cartoonish nonsense.

My original characters Lunagon, Maxima Mouse and Galaxura

It’s a weird sort of 4 way toss up between 1, 2, 3 and New Nightmare. Each one does something really unique and memorable with the concept. 2 might be the creepiest Freddy and the pool scene is great

While George Miller disappoints, Werner Herzog speaks truth

Werner Herzog gazed upon the "empty and soulless" abyss of AI-generated movies

Perhaps the most anticipated episode because of its legacy and fan passion for it (you'll hear SIX different voices in this one) and we put a lot of work into our analysis! Get the historical context of pollution, Japan's film industry, and even digivolutions and clitoris lasers. One of our best!

Don't let the smog monster melt you into bones! @avartwork.bsky.social joins SKREEONK for Godzilla vs. Hedorah, which tackled the existential threat of pollution as one of the weirdest and most gruesome Godzilla films 💀

You learn to take social media a lot less seriously when you look at the kind of people it’s made famous

So when I did one of those voice role claims people seem to say she’d either sound like Bubbles or Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls. I feel Buttercup is more appropriate but the fact both suggestions were from PPG got a laugh out of me lol

Jontanium’s ability to adapt such a wide variety of styles is always such a sight to behold, doubly so when I get to see my characters in them!!

Thank you so much for Jon this looks incredible!

Old Jonny Blusky @jontanium.bsky.social · 2d

Last one for tonight! and wouldn't you know it, ACTUAL monsters were the trickiest to figure out! all the same, always a pleasure to draw these two again @avartwork.bsky.social
