digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

Digital color illustration, title at bottom: The Split. In the foreground is a horse from the neck up in distress. Multiple human hands and fingers are pushing and pulling their way out of its mouth while a stream of black fluid pours over its head, streaming into and from its eyes and dripping down off the canvas. The background is completely taken up by a flat mass of gnarled, twisting roots that converge with scaly flesh on a single enormous eye with a horse's pupil, which is looking at the horse.

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

digital greyscale illustration. title at bottom: The Pit Guardian. a very small silhouetted person stands toward the bottom left of canvas, looking up at an immense being in front of them. the being has emerged from a large black pit in the ground. it is mostly comprised of long, waving vines that turn into masses of hair at its bottom. its head is a horse skull, and it is looking straight down at the person. located around where its "chest" is, is a black hole, which the vines curve around to create its shape. the background is mostly featureless grey, with some distant grey mountains.

An illustration of Frankie sitting at a bus stop, while casually tapping into the power from the power generator to charge her phone. In the background, there's a silhouette of giant teeth looming over her and the stop.

A hand with green fingers reaching out for a stylished moon. The moon has elegant chains hung onto it and around the hand are some lovely flowers. The general atmosphere is kinda mystical

An illustration of an android looking figure. They have a helmet display as a face, with off-white decoration wrapping around it. They wear a baggy top, inspired by Tibetan wear, over it they wear an iridescent plastic looking dress. They have a dark, latex looking bottom with a display piece on their left leg, and their boots are highlighted with a hot pink.

Spider-Punk character leaping over a building, planting his hand on the edge of the structure to steer a bit and gently push himself into his next web swing. The background is vibrant with blues, yellows and orange suggesting it's during the golden hour of the day.

Digital black and white illustration, title at bottom: Voided Storms. A horse creature has a skull head and its torso ripped open, showing bending ribs. It rears up from a massive, endless bed of twisting roots that covers most of the lower half of the canvas. Solid black smoke or mist flows from its torso and neck into and around an exploding shaft stuck into the roots-covered ground. Shards fly across the canvas. A large beam of veined light comes from the sky and hits the ground in the distance behind the creature. The background shows a starry night sky and mountains in the distance. The piece is shaded in extensive crosshatching and contour hatching.

Digital monochrome illustration colored in coppery rust, title at bottom: The Undoing. A horse-skull-headed entity with four 6-fingered limbs pulls fistfuls of long strands of hair out of the skull and around the lower jaw, as the skull's mouth is pulled unnaturally wide open. The entity is covered and surrounded by more long strands of hair. The background is filled with long overlapping strands of hair.

digital greyscale ink illustration which also utilizes glitch and photocopy paper textures. A running horse, its head completely distorted and liquified. Glitch patterns and lines float over top of its head and the air around it. Its body is overlaid with grungy photocopied paper texture, parts streaked and darker.

digital greyscale illustration. a rearing horse surrounded by and being held down by gnarled roots. its head is a billowing explosion spreading out into the top third of the canvas. inks are very loose and sketchy with energy.

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.

Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.
