Wow! Hi new followers! I’m Kenz, I’m a professional haunt performer & I’m currently making a horror-comedy comic series called Fossilized. My story deals with themes of existentialism, escapism, & humanity. If you like paleontology, monsters, gore, & nuanced morally-crooked characters, welcome!
Nergal, an anthropomorphic adalatherium with a raptor skull hat on, sits on a dilapidated throne made of black stone on top of an ancient temple. He has a malicious grin and white eyes. He is twirling a cup filled with a strange brownish liquid. Icky, a misanthropic large grey anthropomorphic squirrel, holds a shotgun as he’s backed against the wall. Fire light glows against him as wears an expression of intense paranoia on his face. There is text that reads “there’s a caveman in the walls” around him. Mushhush, a large, toothy, multi-armed mammalian worm-like monster that Nergal stretches into, roars angrily into the sky as he is skewered with many crude spears and arrows. A fiery meteor swirls above him. Geshtu, a blue anthropomorphic Cronopio Dentiacutis, who has red markings smeared around his eyes, hands, and tail, holds a tektite dagger in one hand and a blood stained bowl in the other. It is almost as if he is offering it to the audience. His white eyes leak upwards and into the moon above as its light shines on him.

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

I’m Kenz, I recently started my comic called Fossilized which is a horror/dark comedy about some critters who get trapped on an Island with an ancient curse. If you like looney tunes style humor, ancient history, existential themes, and lots of blood, check it out!

Sorry most of my recent posts have been sketchbook doodles. My free time has been frustratingly limited lately so I’ve really only had time for comic work by traditional means.

Doodle of Geshtus face up close, he’s looking up and a crescent moon can be seen between his ears. Closeup doodle of Dumuzi as blood drains down her hair and face. Closeup doodle of Nergal looking like he’s up to no good. Closeup doodle of Screwball being a cutie patootie and looking off to the side.

Fossilized logo above three portraits labeled Dumuzi, Geshtu, and Nergal. Dumuzi stares blankly out. Geshtu looks down coldly with his head tilted upwards. Nergal grins looking forward, biting his tongue with devious malice. Under each one is a poem (written by Nergal himself) They read: Dumuzi: She’s serene, divine, a work of art, Cold stare piercing through your heart. Immersed in death, Bathed in your strife, By her hands you’re given life. Geshtu: His hands guided by Theia’s light, For the moon above is always right. Blessing your blood so you can be Brought back for all eternity. Nergal: You’re a sacrifice for us to use, Livestock for me to abuse. I reap your suffering like a flood My bad luck fills the wells with blood. Fossilized logo above four portraits labeled Icky, Hopps, Screwball, and Kyle. Icky snarls and grimaces while holding a bottle of whisky. Hopps shoots a finger gun while flashing a playful smile. Screwy clutches her face, eyes wide with awe and wonder. Kyle is leaning against the side of the portrait looking utterly exhausted. Under each one is a poem (written by Nergal himself) They read: Icky: A miserable slab of rancid meat, Rotten as roadkill left on the street, Never happy, he’ll bitch and moan, Cus all he wants is to be left alone. Hopps: An entrepreneur kangaroo, Is there nothing he can’t do? Responsibility’s not his best trait, So crippling debt will be his fate. Screwball: Full of love, a swollen heart, She’ll hug you then pull you apart. Loose screws bouncing in her head The things she loves all end up dead. Kyle: 5 part time jobs and can’t make rent, This weary man is all but spent. He gives and gives but never takes, Except a hit for others sake.

Yeah lol the whole point of horror is to explore uncomfortable things and things that we fear! Also they have a section on their site where they are talking about what they are looking for and it’s so narrowminded and specific. It completely limits any creativity at all

day 4 of #archInk2025: bronze. tin meets copper, and new colours are created based on the mixture, from gold, green, brown, red.

i drew them circling between two hands, an acknowledgement of how innovative humans are and bronze meant exchange and shared skill

A digital illustration showing two hands reaching toward a circle of bronze artefacts, including swords, spearheads, and axes. Each object has a different shade of bronze — from golden yellow to deep reddish-brown — representing the varied colours of Bronze Age metalwork

Screenshot of text I’ve written that reads: I really want to rant about the way the world is going and how the creative industries are being destroyed and how those two things are so closely tied together and I want to complain about how hard it is to just exist and create right now and how it feels like you always need to be 'on' and the pressure to always be making content and be visible that's pushed on us by this capitalist fast tech-driven world we're in right now and how it's stifling creativity in the worst way and how it feels like you need to choose between being visible and actually making good art and experimenting and being a human being but I am exhausted and all my energy has been drained

Yesterday I felt, once again, like drawing a vampire and so I did because you weren’t there to stop me
A digital drawing done in grayscale and red. A Nosferatu-type vampire (bald, bat-eared, gaunt) wearing a big fancy cape with a high collar w/ visible frilly cravat licking his bloody mouth. He’s holding the head of a woman in a long sleeved filmy nightgown, bent backwards toward the viewer so her wide eyed, shocked face is upside down below her voluminous cleavage and her flowing hair, which is the same color as the blood connecting her throat to the fiend’s splattered face, fills the bottom of the frame.
