Brahms & Alix. Two people from a potential webcomic and my attempt to do more comic-styled work.

Two men floating in space. One is alien looking with a plated tail in place of legs and another set of arms. He has purple antennae, purple skin and green hair. He is significantly larger than the other man who appears fully human with a robotic limb, medium skin, dark hair and comfortable clothing.

A character visible from the chest up with her arms folded, She has gauges in her mouth that show off her teeth and several piercings. Several seams on her head are tearing open and releasing fleshy warping shapes full of eyes, teeth and other features. The text below her reads 'Body Horror Bitch'.

Where have I been? Mostly working at conventions selling art but I also just got my application in for a masters degree in Entomology! I have to wait for a response but I'm really hoping I get in :)

Mars @megasomamars.bsky.social · Sep 3

Coming back from a convention and slowly getting over burnout! My current plan is to make an Etsy for my convention sticker art and maybe an account for my more furry/merch based activities and focus this account for my general art & TTRPG work :)

anguish, torture and all circles of hell actually.
fucking let me draw my OCs!!!!!

little meme drawing by galacticjonah. Showing a little guy in distress, scribbling on some paper. Text around them says: Plagues by visions of "The Character" (but also art blocked). Around the main figure are others, blurry and fading, bodies in various poses of anguish.

My recent radio silence is a mixture of playing caves of qud nonstop and this costume project—hoping to finish this fella in time for a convention >:)
