I figure I need a pinned post because my work is all over the place, so yeah...
Hi, Bryn here, I'm an artist interested in:
Horror films/games/books/art/history
Game Dev
Pixel Art ( #aseprite )
Tech Art
Retro Gaming
PSX/2 Horror
Low Poly ( #blender)
Creature Design/Mask Making
Giallo
Visual Novels
Babel (2018): A sculpture of a head floating above a sea of cords and tubes, some of which come from its mouth. The head's flesh twists around rusted steel rebar, and its left side gives way to a metal plate surrounded by metal nails that protrude like spikes. Necropolis (2015): A sepia toned photo of three ghostly figures standing in fog. The Night Caller (2021): A pixel art portrait of a man with a sinister smile that is too wide for a normal human face. Vampire Hunting Truck: A render of a blue and orange rusted truck showing the low poly wireframe to differentiate what was achieved in the baked normal maps vs the actual geometry.

Was coming here to say this! KIRA has been my favourite dev for a while, and everything they do may be super niche, but always interesting. Also see Lunacid, a King's Field-like (Hard 1st Person Fantasy RPG) that is genuinely scary at times.

This! Complaints about "style over substance" in movies, especially those that commit to being weird, makes me feel like people have forgotten that film is a varied artform and doesn't need to be engaging only in a conventional story way. If its purpose is just vibes, then watch it for the vibes.

Only realised it was the Too Many Cooks guy. He was one of the names attached that I was looking forward to, so that makes me extra disappointed, I guess.

That candy factory one was an all-time low for the series... I'm still angry at how bad it was.

Never understood the hate for found footage horror.. Maybe it comes from the intrinsic high bar for realism, but by focusing on that people miss out on how impressively experimental it can be. Also, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics. Anyway, here's a call to watch Fake Documentary Q! #darkart #horror
Heret (2017): grainy photo of a pale man in a mask crawling across the ground in a darkened room. Parasomnia (2017): distorted footage of a blindfolded person and insect-like legs. Cub (2021): A grainy photo of a woman covered in mud and wearing a horned mask crouched on a rock. The environment is dark and the photo is lit from the front. Heret (2017): A pale man in a mask standing in a dark room and lit by a torch.

The good thing about having a huge back catalogue of old photo work is that you can cheat when making "new" art. Here's the neon soaked photos (2015) I used to make the artwork on my "MurderBike" arcade machine. I guess it's not really cheating if their my photos tho. #gamedev #blender #newretrowave
A photo of a pink and cyan lit person wearing a black motorcycle helmet. The visor has been replaced by a large mouth with too many teeth and strange black gums. The same helmet wearing person sat atop a motorcycle. A low poly model of an arcade machine for a fictitious game called "MurderBike", using the two previous photos for its pixelated artwork.

Been recovering from moving house recently (0/10, do not recommend) and my work slowed down to crawl... But I've been chipping away at this arcade machine every now and then, and finally finished it today. Only a few more objects left #indiegames #gamedev #psxhorror #blender #aseprite #retrogaming
A low poly model of an arcade machine for a fictional game called "MurderBike". The textures are done in a pixelated style with a limited colour palette. The same model from a different angle.

I've seen a surprising number of found footage films (3) about forgotten leech gods whispering to serial killers in the past week, completely by accident. I guess that's a thing. Anyway, here's an unrelated photo of mine, "Co-morbidity" (2017) #horror #darkartist #occult #photography #foundfootage
A photo of a man in his underwear sitting on a rock, his torso and arms covered in circular bite marks. A large leech sits coiled about his shoulders and his face is a twisted mass of flesh.

I am aware that some of these are not really survival horror, but I have been including things that feel related to the genre, even if just aesthetically. These are only the ones I don't own yet, so my back catalogue is pretty daunting...

FOLLOWED. Endoparasitic (1 and 2) Lady in Tomb Rewind or Die Bloody Hallowfest Saiko no Sutoka Bloodwash Manny's List: You Will Die Tonight Decimate Drive The Fear Business Choo-Choo Charles Heaven Dust 1 and 2 House of Velez Bubbaruka!

With Tormented Souls reminding me why I love Survival Horror (horror + puzzles + retro aesthetics), I decided to make a list of everything I didn't own yet and start buying and playing through 2 games a month. So far, I have played through the first 3 games. #survivalhorror #psxhorror #horrorgames
Survival Horror shopping list, marked as bought so far: Heartworm Sorry, We're Closed Crow Country Alisa Labyrinth of the Demon King Hollowbody What is visible of the rest of the list (trust me, there's a loooot on the full list): Slitterhead Conscript White Knuckle The Tartarus Key GYLT Screenshot from the game Sorry, We're Closed, showing the main character Michelle aiming a gun and surrounded by pixel particle effects. A screenshot from Crow Country, showing the protagonist Mara standing in the Submarine save room. Screenshot from Heartworm of a lowpoly girl standing in a dimly lit study/library.

My weirdo pixel art textured snack products made for a vending machine model. I realised that there were so many details people likely wouldn't see. Unless... I could make them interactable objects that are actually dispensed. Hmm... #lowpoly #blender #aseprite #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames
The front details of 16 different low poly models of vending machine snacks, with their logos clearly displayed. The back details of those same snacks, showing off the nutritional value info, but pixelated. Further packaging details.

I'm all about unnecessary details, hence why everything takes me so long, so I get it, hahaha!

I just figure at some point I'll have made a big enough catalogue of objects jumping between all my projects that it'll end up being enough to build a shopping mall, but that’s kind of the problem. I have to make things easy for myself, but I'm constantly making design decisions that complicate it!

I love the aesthetic too! I've definitely been tempted to make a horror game set in an closed (overnight, rather than abandoned) shopping mall, but I'd need to get way faster at finishing models... Building a single store (a laundromat) is already taking sooo much damn time to finish.

Aww, that's really lovely to hear, thank you! It's taken me way too long to get to where I'm happy with this style (going on 4 years now?!), so it's great to find out when others like it and it's not just me.

Why hadn't I heard anything about this?! An all round solid post-apoc thriller, a genre that's pretty well trodden by now, but this does a hell of a lot with a little. Killer lead performance from Deadwyler. I'm just kinda confused why it didn't screen anywhere...

This snack vending machine took way too long (10hrs+) due to all those tiny logos, but I think it was worth it. With all the big stuff out of the way, there's a few more smaller props, and then it's onto the full scene. #blender #aseprite #lowpoly #gamedev #retrohorror #indiegames #psxhorror

While looking for something else, I came across some of my old work done with completely hand pixelled texturing. Damn it for being so time-consuming because I still really like how it looks! #blender #aseprite #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames
A low poly model of a tv on a coffee table with hand drawn pixel art texturing. The same, but of a red floppy disk. Another hand pixelled object, but this one is a VHS tape.
