Digital painting fan art for Fear & Hunger 2: Termina featuring Daniël standing in near profile, head turned toward the viewer and holding a bloody scalpel in his left hand defensively near his throat. He looks aghast, his left eye socket bleeding from beneath the patch. His right arm is amputated below the shoulder and bandaged off. Pocketcat stands just behind him, grinning and half hidden. Rher peers out from the upper corner of the dark, textured background. Daan is partially framed by the sigil of the Sulfur God, drawn hastily in blood. Digital painting of Olrox and Mizrak from Castlevania: Nocturne referencing their last scene in the anime. A nude flesgling vampire Mizrak straddles Olrox , looming over him on a bed with a conflicted expression and blood around his mouth. Olrox , disheveled in a gold-trimmed white shirt and black panel-front pants, looks up at him with a reassuring smile, his torso studded with fresh bite marks. Warm sunlight rim-lights them from a window out of frame. Screencap redraw of Olrox from Castlevania Nocturne sitting up on a bed. Lineup of four character designs in various fantasy baroque style musketeer dresses and carrying weapons.

I've been inactive lately due to irl stuff (nothing bad) but had to react to @bsky.app's cowardly, censorious TOS revisions despite promising creators a safe, free platform.

Fuck payment processors and the GOP

Keep calling, boycotting, and most importantly, making weird, gross art. #bskycensorship
