This is the culmination of 52 total hours of labor. This is a stick and poke. Thousands of pokes and needless to say that all I see are dots when I close my eyes.

Three images of two hand poked tattoos displaying what appears to be a void opening up in the skin with multi-colored eyes, and gooey tendrils and hands.

Happy Nonbinary Day!
Borders are fake, no check-box can contain you, you are made of multitudes; you're everything and everyone you can imagine and you don't have to prove it to anyone. There are more genders in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in their philosophy.

physical intimacy that leads to grotesque body horror is an underrated concept and i think more artists and writers should take advantage of its potential

This bundle is still going forward and it would mean the world to me if you supported it. That said, I will be sending an email encouraging authors to set their revenue split to zero so Itch makes no money in the wake of their cowardice

Well, this is weird, but:

I'm featured in a bundle for #DisabilityPrideMonth, along with 19 other disabled authors. It was planned long before the nonsense.

Any sales or support will go a long way, especially in this uncertain moment. The sale begins @ midnight tonight.

A 7hr piece I did for my fic Riding the Abyss

A large dark purple biped monster with serpentine features and tendrils for hair is walking across a beach with a bright yellow and orange mer slung over its shoulder and a blue mer riding on its back. The blue mer looks smug, the yellow mer is chatting happily, and the creature looks a bit annoyed.

Made my players fight this eldritch monstrosity the other day. Wanted a cosmic maddening siren of sorts that drives you insane and corrupts your flesh. Took a lot of inspiration from Elden Ring and Berserk for this one.

It makes me sad when I see artists feeling so pressured to get things in during the time frame & saying, ‘sorry this is late!’

No, no, your pride art is not late! Your Alastor week is not late, your eldritch art, your story, it is not late! It is never too late, it came right when we needed it!

Living dead wreck with an oil spill brain. Can't keep time from slipping away

#TalesFromtheGasStation #TFTGS

Jack from comedy horror novel series Tales From the Gas Station looking distressed and tired with his head in his hands, murky black iridescent oil rising from the top of his head to spill around a shattered clock above him. Short quotes/excerpts from the novel are blearily peppered behind him.

The himbo ever

I think there is a reason a good deal of people who read tales from the gas station like Jerry the most. Cant place my finger on why... but I do like making art of him

I made this for a post I made on tumblr about the ideas of the DCA having a size thing, but they're the smaller one. It's a very minor spoiler for my fic (Everything Stays on ao3), but I purposefully left out key details

Sundrop, from fnaf, is straddling a large purple, almost reptilian biped with four visible eyes and tendril-like hair. He is holding his face in an embarrassed manor and looking away from the creatures face in a suggestive way.

I like the environment here so I'm thinking I might actually post some of my art, or fic snippets/links
