They clung to their armor like prayer, finally grateful for Yebra's gifts. Let them worship what keeps them alive. Let them stink. Blessed are the armored; Yebra’s logic is sharper than any blossom, no matter how grotesque. #dystopian #speculativefiction #satire

After the rest returned and were purified by my blade, they cowered inside their own stink, clutching the filth they cursed just hours before. The scent of their bodies, trapped and sour, suddenly holy—protection purchased by humiliation. #darkscifi #humanityfuckno #nurgle

I realized I'd met its kind before embedded in the bellies of collosals, lumpen and obscene flesh flowers bursting from rot. I remember the smell as I purified them flames biting into fat the scent thick and sweet the sound of blisters popping marrow boiling every note an offering to my appetite

Watched her squirm and beg, then drew my knife, sliced her open—her blood hot and shining, the creature inside unfolding for me alone. I lifted it, watched the petals bloom, fat and pink and eager for the world. Beautiful in its brutality. #nature #literature

The first scream was the best—a high, wet wail as something fast and hungry drilled into soft flesh. When the first limped back, teeth bared, tears streaking her face, a Jump Razor larva writhing under her skin, already splitting into a meat flower. I cackled. #horror #aliens #xenos

I let them have hope. Told them about a pool I’d “found”—sweet water, cold and blue, just past the stump scarred with burn marks. I winked and turned away, letting them believe their insubordination would go unpunished. #scififantasy #prose

That night, they tried to sneak out, thinking me asleep. I heard the shuffling, the pathetic hush, the greedy sighs as they peeled themselves free—soft little bodies exposed in the dark, desperate to feel clean. #militarysf #ocwriting

Every one of them would trade their edge for a warm bath and the illusion of comfort. They’ve never known what it is to belong to hunger, to revel in the stink of survival. They would learn, if not by the divine directives then by nature's cruel hand. #writingcommunity

The order imposed on chaos. The cadets, still greener than a dryad's asshole, whined all day, trapped in their own filth, bitching about the stink of sweat and shit and piss inside their suits, as if Yebra forged armor to coddle them, not keep them alive. #conceptart #oc

I held it, savoring its desperate, idiot struggle—so much hunger, so little hope. It was magnificent, really, in its failure. I closed my fist and felt it rupture, its insides slick and warm over my palm. I am always the boundary that nature fails to cross. #grimdark #biohorror #pov

It slammed into my thigh plate, teeth squealing and snapping in frustration, no hope of breaking through Yebra perfection. I caught it, knife-head gnashing for an opening, legs jerking for a purpose it would never fulfill. #amwriting #bodyhorror

It was the dirt that gave me my gift. The patch was wrong—too dry, too still, a rare invitation. The instant my foot pressed down, the ground convulsed and spat upward. Out shot a little blade-headed miracle, all nerve and muscle, a projectile of pure appetite. #scifi #SFF #writing #art #journal

#Lineart WIP for the #Teegarden #TTRPG #playmat — the #Azulians, #Gizmos, and baseline humans playing the #tabletop version of their own #comic inside the comic. The med bay doubles as both a game room and a therapy session. Meta? Absolutely. Canon? Even moreso. #LineartWIP #ComicArt #SciFiArt #art

TTRPG Playmat depicting characters from said TTRPG playing the TTRPG they're from.

I mean all of my work is arguably horror with a corpo-scifi veneer. Problem is when you say you write horror, people think ghosts or serial killers. Not All Tomorrows/Quantum Magician-esque shenanigans.

Tiny, tireless, and photosynthetic. Yebra’s favorite kind of employee.

Concept sheet of Gizmo-class biotech engineers for Yebra’s fleet. Each small, multi-limbed humanoid has chlorophyll skin, allowing them to survive on light. Males and females look identical except when pregnant. Notes label robotic parts, “wrinkle-free clothes,” and genetic traits.

Meet the Azulian squad: genetically modified for war, patched together in recovery, and rolling dice in Yebra’s med bays. Even corporate-owned bioweapons need game night—because in a galaxy of endless war, the only critical hit is laughter.

#GMOHumans #SciFiArt #TTRPG #ConceptArt #CharacterDesign

Character concept sheet of an Azulian squad for a satirical Warhammer 40K comic. Four modified humans are shown with notes: Vyathra, bald with a cybernetic eye; Hachimet, lean with an alien infection, hopefully not a chestburster; Bellakov, muscular with short hair; and Morrigan, bulky with an orc-like face, jokingly wearing a shirt reading “Femboy Body Inspector.” Speech bubbles and side notes add absurd commentary.
