testing mobile uploads with a quick crop of a bigger piece... character shown is my oc Mishka, and you can see the full piece on his TH page - 🔗 in replies!

The image is a cropped portion of a digital art piece done in dark and moody colors, with muddy purple shadows and acidic green highlights.

It depicts a burly and mean-looking animate teddybear - like a haunted doll of sorts. He has one ripped out button eye, and one glowing eye, and he is chomping on a cigar while holding something just out of frame with one huge paw.

This is a huge mood but also...I MUST say.

There is no higher honor than seeing someone in my notifs like One Post...and then proceed to DEEP DIVE into *everything* I've ever drawn

Thats like winning the "hey I like your art a normal amount" lottery you have NO IDEA how MOTIVATING THAT IS

🐍 The hit new show we just can't take our eyes off of! Coming to a fitful REM cycle near you!

# oc, snakemouth gameshowhost

A work of digital art drawn by the poster, @Apollyna. The vibe is that of a grungy vintage splash ad, such as a poster or magazine insert. A distorted but fashionable humanoid steps through a hole in the center of the image, its long ribbon-like arms and gloved hands reaching out toward the viewer. Instead of a face, its head is a floating mouth with massive fangs, stretched into a malicious gape. Thick block letters at the top of the image read "COME ON DOWN! TAKE A CHANCE! PRESS YOUR LUCK!" as they circle the hole the creature is crawling out of. In the deepest recesses of the hole, a dozen or so dimly glowing eyes can be seen leering at the viewer.

details.
really pleased with this one ^^

From the aforementioned image: a close crop of some of the deer silhouettes in the distant background. The highly textured canvas and soft washes of rust and sage give the herd an almost cave-painterly feel.

"Hold."
# werewolf au, luke

A drawing, done in roughly textured swipes of color, like charcoal and autumnal fog. The point of view is peering out from between trees in a deeply shadowed forest, with silhouettes of deer visible in the morning mist ahead. A paw-like hand is blurred close to the camera, while the sharp wolfish silhouette of its owner slices a void in the left side of the image. The werewolf's luminous green eyes look back over its shoulder, urging the viewer to stay still and pay attention.

details

From the aforementioned image: a close crop of the driver's face. Her eyes have a soft glow, her ears a down-turned edge, and sharp teeth are visible in her sympathetically annoyed sneer. She has curly hair tied up with a scrunchie into a tiny bun.

From the aforementioned image: a close crop of the passenger's face. His build is long and angular, and he hunches forward, scraggly hair hanging over one side of his face. He peers out at the viewer with wide, cat-slitted eyes.

Aw, man...
# scuzzvamps, tigs, luke

A drawing, roughly textured and colored in inky purples, dim teals, and lurid pinks. Two figures sit in a car, a city visible through the windows behind them. The light of a drive-thru menu speaker casts an eerie glow on their faces. The skinny one in the passenger seat, Luke, pipes up - "Yo, ask if the ice cream is workin." The driver, a broad woman called Tigs, replies - "They shut that shit off after 6 here."

A lil darling based on a voeki adopt!
# honkity donkity reaper

> its mask is fixed in a cheerful grin, but it can display other expressions - the movement usually accompanied by a strained creaking sound. besides this, and the pitterpatter of its funny little feet, it doesn't make much noise.

a drawing of a strange, but cute, creature. a black cloak hides its body, leaving only its many striped legs to scutter around.

two drawings of the aforementioned creature. here, we see how its so-called "legs" can either end in hands, or funny little shoefeet.
