Reposting some #silenthill #art with it being on my mind (it’s always on my mind)

Illustration of Mary, Maria, and monster Mary from silent hill 2 - they're all in contained rectangular shapes. Maria is upside down in a cage, mary is just her clothes rotting on a bed, and monster mary is shown as herself.

Also curious on how certain styles play out on different platforms, how trends develop & what’s more successful there and why. Not even for make money reasons, but more so why someone said my style is tumblr bc that’s definitely where I spent more time developing a style and online art experience

I really enjoyed this & I think fandom is where it feels closest to older ways of art on the internet, except, the fact that over the years it became so heavily monetized makes it cross a line eventually into being miserable (would love more thoughts on specifically modern fandom from artists too)

SURPRISE IT'S DONE.

Honestly this ended up being a diss-track to everyone, everyone catches strays in this one. Cara, artfol, deviantart, artstation, Bluesky, facebook, youtube, patreon, gumroad, -

you get the picture, it's long, but it does end on a hopeful note.

this is my magnum opus rant

The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet

Why every new "Art Community" fails. Equal parts eulogy, condemnation, and mourning.

Cover for my comic, Sparkle. A tv with wings and static floats at the top, looking down on a young girl being levitated up, like a ufo abduction. Underneath is a sinister demon hand, as if it’s orchestrating everything

Three panels of a comic page. A young girl in a hood is seen in the middle, from the back, going through the motions of her day - eating dinner with her parents, walking in a hallway, sitting in a classroom.

+ a couple more illustrations I personally like

Illustration of the show twin peaks. The setting is inside the black lodge, next to a lamp post with a strong light source is a statue, two hands in a strange formation & a cup of coffee turned upside down pouring out. Underneath is dale cooper walking next to a mirror image of himself. The doppelgänger is looking at the viewer with one shining eye. At the top left and bottom right corners are a symbol of two triangles, representing the two mountain peaks of twin peaks

Illustration of the movie the substance - features both leads facing away surrounded by an bunch of imagery from the films (eggs, teeth, blood, eyes, tv, sparkles, beer, vial of the substance, stars, flesh) in a blue background with tiles on the border like elizabeth's bathroom

Illustration of a two headed pigeon with lots of eyes standing on a coffee cup

A wall of shelves with angel decorations, mirrors, candles, flowers and strange voids and tentacles coming out everywhere

The Time We Have is available now!! A tabletop game by @moreblueberries.bsky.social about two brothers in the apocalypse, waiting out a zombie infection that will destroy one of them. I wrote one of the Door cards, illustrated by @egallagher.bsky.social!

Both sides of a card. On the front, a flaming door with a single crying eye looking through a hole in the center. On the back, a public safety alert titled Not So Spontaneous?
