Hello folks. My name is Ariadne and I am a horror/dark fantasy artist from Greece. I will be posting sketches, finished work, my regular thoughts and things I am passionate about here. If you are interested in anything spooky and gory and do not mind nudity from time to time, gimme a follow. ^_^

Image of a vividly shining waterfall. A corpse is laying in its bank, crows eating its remains. The sky is dark with a few clods, the only source of light coming from the water itself.

I am afraid that for many people, it's not even a matter of not understanding. If something makes them feel uncomfortable or grossed out, they want it gone. It's authoritarian behavior, the exact opposite of "live and let live."

One thing that is really fun about enjoying underground/niche art is that it brings one in contact with new people, new discussions and inspiration. Being a little cringe is a worthy price for such a cool experience.

I saw a few illustrations with this cute silly speech bubble added in, so for anyone else who would want to know, this artist is the one who drew it/has been using it in her own works before All This started up (the link is for a real sticker from her shop!)

Can artists use your pictures as references?

Painting this piece brought back my appetite for body horror and earthly hues.

I assume that mindset is an effort to counter the older stereotype of metalheads as aggressive, hateful and anti-social people with no morals. I think it works for most metal fans but, like you said, there's many folks who are the complete opposite of accepting, especially in specific sub-genres.

As a Greek person, I can tell you no one in Cyprus wants the UK to rule over them again. In fact, there's a lot of anger for the years they did occupy the island.

I wish they would release a print version. I'd love to have this in my bookshelf. :(

The ACLU joins the fight. Let's go!

ACLU @aclu.org · Jul 29

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?

Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Shame on you. Ethically this is an abhorrent stance. I have bought multiple games from your platform, but I will not be your customer until you reverse course.

Feminine trans woman? Check.
Reasonable dick size? Check.
Cute, non-objectified personality? Check.

Winton, the way you draw trans ladies is amazing. You are a real treasure.

I'd happily exchange dreams with you, cause this actually sounds like an awesome comedy.

*Just to be clear, I am simply joking, unsolicited nudes are inexcusably bad behavior.

The only high point of struggling with heavy depression and obsessive anxiety the past few days, is that I've been putting my everything into painting and writing. So I may be sad af, but at least my portfolio will improve.
