A few years back I finished my first longer comic project. Life got in the way of me finishing another one, but hopefully that'll change soon...

"In my death, I never imagined I'd find the love I so craved in life."

I'm of the opinion that necromancy is the highest form of romantic love. Oh, to give your mortal soul to bring back your lover...

OCs Stuart and Damien. Stuart's ghost is leaning over Damien, who is sitting in his office. Stuart's head is on the table in front of him but his eyes are locked on his lover's ghost.

Still not entirely satisfied with how this looks but it's been a while since I've posted anything... I've been trying to work on texture in my painting. Historically I'm not a painter, I'm an inker, so periodically I try to paint lol

Oc Damien, his left shoulder shattering like porcelain. His arm is a ball-jointed arm and the shoulder ball joint is shattering away. His eyes have a sad, resigned expression.

Tbh I have no idea if this is the most recent version of this piece I am currently existing entirely on vibes and the nice things people tell me.

And a metric fuckton of caffeine.
OCs Layla and her husband Frederick. Both nude, Frederick is reaching up to hold her as she's floating. The background is dark red and bright red, the light only on that sliver of bright red. I have no clue which version this is. Could be the final, could be a random wip.

Life changes in ways we don't want it to. It sucks. We have to scream, cry, fight, and make due best we can. It's all we can.

OCs from a project I'm working on. One of these days I'll write something fluffy. One of these days...
#oc #art #comics #wips
OCs Aleron and Harper. They sit on a small couch, Aleron's legs crossed at his knees and Harper's at her ankles. He's giving her a side glance and she's staring straight at the viewer. The portrait between them is her before she was traumatized.

TRANSGRESSION

#art #oc
Woman holding her hands in prayer, looking up with a distant expression. rope binds her wrists and neck. Scars cover her body. her torso's ripped skin becomes a ribcage and spine, three red roses, a white lily, and pussywillow creates a bouquet at the base of her spine.

I had this idea a bit ago, a series of horror pieces with my favorite ballet steps. This one is sissonne fermé
A panel of a doll's body and a panel of a doll's face, her eyes offset similar to the dead eyes of a human. Severed hands fill the empty space and very faintly in the middle reads "sissonne fermé"

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

I'm quite fond of the flat color wip of this piece too

#wip #art #originalcharacter
Flat color wip of an illustration. Oc Clemency, his wrists bound and held above him. Flowers are in the top right corner - behind his hands - and in the bottom left corner. His long hair flows behind his back.

OCs Layla and her husband Frederick 🎪 I really love aerial dance, even though I never took it (ballet, lyrical, and modern for me)

I also really love the circus aesthetic lmao
