Untitled, painted in Krita. #Art
Digital painting of a white rabbit with large ears and a human skull looking upwards as its body instead of a normal rabbit body and head. It is sitting on a pink table with a teal wall behind it.

More fun cicada studies. This one with some more vibrant colors.
A small painting of a dark cicada with orange coloration against a blue background. The pattern on the back of the cicada forms a skull.

Artists, quote with your gloomy #art. 🍂
Lino print of a pool shaped like a human jaw with teeth visible, on a pile of other bones. There is a gothic window behind the jaw, through which a full moon, clouds, and stars can be seen. The moon is reflecting in the jaw pool's black ink water.

Does anyone here have experience in using very simply rigged, non-humanoid models in programs like Warudo? I don't need arm tracking or face tracking, just want the leech to look left when I do, etc.

I met a family who had a daughter planning to attend college for ornithology, they had built a pigeon coop so she could study them... they let me hold a baby; it was the size of a grapefruit, the consistency of a soft warm bag of soup & looked like a bewildered old man. 😂

Desecrated Grounds

Acrylic on panel (original sold)
A painting on wood cut in the shape of a cathedral panel. The painting depicts a mausoleum in a dark swampy forest. The mausoleum is surrounded by lit candles, with a pile of small bones at the entrance. The door is slightly cracked open.

QRT your growth ! 📈
Digital art of a green humanoid alien with one long, elfin ear, one human ear, and no mouth. It is surrounded by blue and pink bubbles. Digital art of a white man's fuzzy leg beneath a red robe, wearing a brown leather shoe. A goblin with rabbit-like ears, pointy teeth, black and purple striped fur, one purple eye and one yellow eye is clinging on to his ankle like an ankle monitor. The goblin is smiling and looks like he is very ready to get this man in trouble at the slightest provocation.

"Starting masking again in 2025 means I – we – have to confront the fact that maybe we should never have stopped. It’s scary to admit that we might have been harming ourselves and our communities; that our government might not have our best interests at heart." @onqueerstreet.bsky.social

An update on the state of Trout’s whiskers.
A long hair tabby kitten with beautiful green eyes. His whiskers are insane, and he has brows for days. His ear fluffs are the envy of everyone he meets. Same kitten up close.

Thanks for hosting this #ArtShare, Meerwolf! Congrats on 500 followers!

I'm The Gil-Monster, pipe cleaner horror artist. I build and paint established characters, custom orders (DM me) and my own original horrors- such as for my splatter horror TTG #AMPUTHEATRE!

#darkart #pipecleanerart
A pipe cleaner figure I built of Thrush, a playable character in my tabletop fighting game AMPUTHEATRE. Thrush is a giant marsupial rat with mangy gray fur, a bald head, dark blue eyes, and fangs dripping with blood. She stands on her hind legs and a baby rat snarls from her pouch. Thrush's head and arms are removable for AMPUTHEATRE combat, and she can eat the baby for health if necessary. She stands 3" (7.62 cm) high at the shoulder. A pipe cleaner figure I built of Sabrewulf, a character from the video game KILLER INSTINCT. Sabrewulf is a blue werewolf with beads in his sideburns, brown pants, and long black claws. A pipe cleaner figure I built of a Roper from Dungeons and Dragons. The Roper is a somewhat amorphous brown-yellow monster with six tentacles, a single eye, and a huge mouth. This figure has the mouth at the base of its trunk, surrounded by four tentacles, while its angry blue eye and two longer tentacles crane from a neck. It measures 3" (7.62 cm) high. A pipe cleaner figure I built of the Cacodemon from the video game DOOM. The Cacodemon is a red and pink floating spherical monster with a single green eye, a heavily fanged mouth, and sharp horns. Flesh dribbles and hangs underneath it in strands and loops. It stands 3" (7.62 cm) high.

The rise in taxidermy fandom means certain types of bats are being decimated at alarming rates. Bats are protected in western countries, so if you see taxidermied bats for sale, big warning.

Be a considerate gloom cookie, please.

Repost with the first line of your novel!
Screenshot from a writing app that reads "Chapter 1: Hoarse bursts of someone crying out somewhere on the property popped out of each rest in the crickets' song, echoes through a sieve, making me stop momentarily every time."

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

reposting some fluffy old #art
Digital art of a giant anteater with a long nose, fluffy plume of a tail, and striking black stripe along its side. It is ambling through a patch of grass. There is a red and orange zig zag frame behind it and a trail of fire ants going up the side of the image.

No one tells you how much of this writing life is maintaining a one-sided cold war against some writer you feel wronged you years ago.

What do you do to get people to actually go to bandcamp? I have made under 300 USD since 2020 and it's really discouraging when i would post daily for like 3 years and no engagement.
