Hey there! I'm Aimee, I draw dark fantasy/sci-fi illustrations, write stories and novels, make websites, have big Opinions, & like dark af jokes. I'm here to uplift others, shitpost, and have fun.

I recently released a gay robot novella... You should check it out. TheWarmMachine.com 🤖

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes

A woman dressed in white standing amidst a roaring blizzard in the forest. Her hair and hood are whipped by the wind; her eyes are glowing, and she's cradling a baby-shaped wrapped object in her arms. Her dress and mouth are stained with blood.

From the necromar deck: Imagine an entire village of merchants that spend their time trying to trade and accumulate items that can be traded away. This is a perfect description of the Necrololith society.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

A digital artwork of Ipomoea inspired by Alphonse Mucha's "The dance." Ipomoea's horns are lapped in flames, while a fire wraps their left arm and their right harm in shining bright. They are holding onto their dresses, which edges scatter into starlight. Her hair is also spread, sparkling. The frame is a thin crescent moon around Ipomoea, with stars etched into it.

Commission "gangster" art 😌
Thank you for support!

#Commission #artsky #noir #art

The image depicts a stylish man in a blue and black suit with a red bow tie and brown gloves. He holds a Thompson submachine gun (the so-called "gangster submachine gun") and wears a blue hat with a feather.

The background is dark blue and purple with geometric patterns.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.
