Help I’ve been turned into a doll!
I needed a break to get out of art block and this trend was the perfect distraction. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s takes on this trend, they’re all so different and lovely. AI will never make something half as original.
#Art #StarterPackNoAI #StarterPack

An illustration of an action figure box pasted onto a picture of Sariel’s hand so it looks like they’re holding the box. The action figure is a miniature version of sariel, they’re wearing a black leather coat, a blue, purple and pink argyle sweater vest and pink pants. They have black hair with a white strand on the front. The pack includes an extra head with clown makeup, three science fiction books, a clarinet and an iPad and an extra hand holding an Apple pen. The writing on the box says things like “interchangeable heads!” “With realistic top surgery scars… and tattoos!” “Multiple outfits included!” And so on

Jealousy I
And a look at side B of my card for Riverbed Collective‘s “Mint Condition” deck. As with side A, I have this as an A4 and A5 print now and they look great.

#gore #viscera #art #zine

A digital drawing of an ominous crouching figure holding a mess of wings and feathers in their hands. This creature is attached to the figure by veins and muscle that go into their open chest cavity. The back of the figure is also open, revealing part of their spine and a twisted series of vines, branches, muscles, veins and other viscera growing out and around them. The bottom of the illustration says “Jealousy”.

An illustration of Roo’s Vtuber, done by ahirumamire on Skeb. He has dyed teal hair with dark brown sides, and wears glasses. He has a septum piercing and a dangly earring, and is in 3/4 view of the camera. The image is from shoulders up, and he has a cheeky expression on his face; a wink with a slight smile, and one hand is raised up to his glasses where he's adjusting them. Behind him are some cartoon stars.
