rough digital art of a character design. slight thick body build. they have a parasitic flesh being wrapped around their body as weird armor and wings. A large row of teeth protects their chest and pelvis.. tendrils of thick tendons also extend and branch out from the flesh wings.

my art range and skills are insane honestly LOL
I like to make many things!!!! xD

#weirdart #art #bskyartists #digitalart #fanart #multimedia #oc #crptid #sculpture ended having to put the sculpts in storage, so many wips U_U
collection of clay sculptures, super sculpey clay, some painted, the rest left unfinished bc my ADHD has me get so far then stop when I need to bake my sculptures. a TV monster, burger, skeletal melting alien. my OCs a crow gal and a snow leopard man who is VERY tall a thick goat woman with a hairy body holding a wine glass, a small round frog, and a weird jar shaker in progress creature floating in a dark blue and red cloudy sparkly void, bright light shines above. this creature has angel wings and halo in the trans color flag, an opalescent body with a rainbow stripe tail, glitchy rectangular stripes lay up the arms and legs, large monster claws on hands and feet. No head, single giant eyeball with cymk simple color scheme. very sparkly, lots of glitter halos against the dark hues pepperoni pizza slice painted with watercolor realism practice. lots of stippling to get the golden baked brown across the cheese and crust. several large pepperonis are on the pizza with more stippling of white for the grease effect. the pizza is in a white void but a shadow is painted to give it depth. added a checkerboard pattern on PC to frame the image, no other digital alteration is done to this image. small portrait fanarts of female characters- Medusa (from Soul Eater), Bayonetta , Poison (street fighter), Jenosa (Scurge: Hive), Kiki (Ghibli) and Mimi with Palmon (digimon) Very saturated angular anime style with glitcy abstract backgrounds

somewhere out there is an angel is waiting to meet you~!
rejoice! receive their gift! rejuvenate your flesh and soul!

ko-fi.com/scribbleddeath

concept for my secret body horror story~
#horrorart #angl #visdev #OC #digitalpainting #bodyhorror #krita #weirdart
digital painting bathed in red with highlight glimmers of green and yellow. this angel is made of flesh, their body drapes long ruffled strands of flesh like a robe. a single large eye, no head, is branching out of the torso connected to an expose spine. in their flesh and bone claws they hold a green flaming heart. the angel wings are also flesh, no feathers, but large large claws at the ends, a couple of large eye balls are on the joints of the wing looking all around. they stand on a ground of flesh.

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

Shakespeare: My good friends at Zeboyd Digital Entertainment LLC have crafted a Ye Olde English to New English translator. Imogen fights a giant plant monster in This Way Madness Lies. The magical girls explore a creepy otherworldly forest in This Way Madness Lies. There are a lot of cool characters traits you can equip to make your characters more powerful in This Way Madness Lies.

#WIPSnips for Nov. 20, and third's the word

So in that spirit, I have the third instance of 'third' in my #creaturefeature #WIP right here
excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'third' is highlighted --- The school’s cheer team had a room to itself on the third floor of the old school hall, one half of a larger class space that had gotten partitioned for some reason in the past and then abandoned for being too small for regular use. The cheerleaders had taken it over several scholastic generations in the past, in an era when, to judge by the trophies, pennants, and other decorations, the school had been more of a competitive powerhouse. No awards had been added in living memory, a fact which apparently galled Melody Redmond, the current captain by default. Everything in that young lady’s life pivoted on that particular insecurity. Case in point: “What were you thinking, making a scene like that? We’re in the middle of a season here, and we can’t afford to get distracted!” “Good thing I dumped his sorry, lying ass,” Regina replied. “It’s hard to be more distracting than Jake when he’s in the mood to be.” “Sure! Fine! Whatever you say, Gina!” Melody’s arms waved in improbably geometric forms as her nerves gave motion to her stress. “Just break up with one of our better football players…” “Better is relative,” Regina pointed out.

anime style of a horror and cute portrait of a princess. Blue and grey flat colors. clean think lineart. digital art, demon woman sketch, focus is on the background abstract, a heart shape explosion of light. colors are mostly purple and blue, with hints of green and pink digital doodle of a fat tired goth woman in goth cow boy like alternative fashion. purple hair, tan skin, and red bra and short shorts. rough digital color rough of a comic page then the final version. Rough is more pink and yellow, final is green blue yellow with some pink. A goddess holds the Earth in her hands and smirks evily. she goes from admiring the planet to trapping it in vines.
