Hi, I'm a moth that makes fantasy and horror art. Find all my links here: aphoticmoth.carrd.co

You find yourself trapped in a rotting stinking sewer. The air is thick with a putrid stench that just clings to your nostrils. As you wade through the foul green waters you hear a strange chattering. Skittering. Hissing. You turn a corner to see piles of human skulls and massive mutated rats with glowing eyes. They are all focused on you and they look HUNGRY.

A sharp pain in your mouth.. You wish the pain would go away. A tingling feeling travels through your body. There is all of a sudden a buzzing crackling noise coming from somewhere.. A red mist appears and out steps a horrifying creature. Long lanky, 4 wings, spine of spikes. An eyeless round head with massive jutting teeth. It is covered with gold jewelry and.... Teeth? It holds out a sack of something, and asks if you have any teeth for trade. Afraid to upset the creature you accept the trade. Your bad tooth appearing between it's fingers. Your pain is gone, you look down at the sack and as you look back up the creature has disappeared.

A dark cave. In the center is a beam of light that a gnarly horned toothy dragon head is taking a nap in with his hoard of kitties. They are all soaking up the sun. The cats lay all over his head, what a comfy dragon friend.

A hairy dwelf man looks unimpressed as he holds up a ferocious yet tiny cat folk. Dangling between two fingers by the hood of it's shirt the cat screams and hisses baring his claws. "Put me down or I'll claw yer eyes out!" It screams. The Dwelf just stares wondering if he should punt the little fella out the door.

You didn't even tell your parent's?? Did you just choose to leave rather than them kicking you out? Don't have to talk about it and can message me in private if you do want to chat. Hang in there.

Character design for Furcentia on FA.

#art #characterdesign

Willow the punk skater dobie. Tan dobie lady with purple hair, wearing a cut off tank, rolled up pants, and a flannel tied around her waist. She has red chucks on and is holding a vibrant multicolored skateboard that looks well loved.

Did a live-stream for the first time in a year about a month ago. Rapidpunches requested a unicorn.

Ah the suffering of the innocent over another's greed.
#art #darkart
tw:blood

A heraldic like unicorn with 2 tails rears up in agony as a sword is driven through it's chest and out it's back. A tear rolls down it's cheek as it bellows out.

Art fight piece for @rufflebanger.bsky.social

Mother Miranda: What a strange little creature.

Mother Miranda holding a fluffy little bat in her jewelry adorned hands, she is looking at the bat with a sickly curiosity, the bat is swooning over her.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

people can issue consent. things cannot.
drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things.
they are property. they are NOT real people.

requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems

how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Those around Riverside county, CA, I am selling my PC and monitor for 300usd. Thought this could help with rent by Oct. 6th, so it'd be appreciated to spread the word around to those looking for a PC of light, everyday use mainly

we cannot fucking let this shit slide, they were attacking people in the goddamn street. They were so convinced, they were ready to do some kind of kristalnacht thing
I don't even really know how exactly but we can't let them just forget and move on, we can't be civil and forgiving #political

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 13d

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

I am confident I am seeing the same news you’re seeing, so me sharing it so it can show up for the dozenth time onto your TL isn’t gonna help either of us. What WILL help you is to unclench your jaw and drink some water.
