Lil something I was working on the past month-week (well, had it for a month but only really started properly working on it a week ago whoops)but posted to my main art account 😅 sharing here as well cause it feels fitting

MAN BEEF @bauscheusse.bsky.social · Jul 31

Travellingman had another Warhammer 40k painting challenge and you know I couldn't resist...

...but how the hell did I make this, and in a WEEK, with the painting and glued elements been done yesterday and today? Alongside ArtFight, WoW stuff, and other stuff? HOW?

#sunsoutgunsout40k

A zoomed out photograph of a painted modded Warhammer 40k model on a custom made base made to look like a beach, in the background are glues, basing materials, paints, and a handy lil crab holding up a paintbrush, as well as a tub of sand and other miscellainy.

The same model as previous, but zoomed in at the front, showing off the sculpted tentacles, one of which is holding the head of the model. They themselves are holding a gun in one hand and a large sword in the other, they have metallic armour and spikes protruding from it

The same model as previous but from a back angle, showing more metallic armor, faded jade green fabric, and a clump of bubbley seaweed stuck to their shoulder. The sand is bunching as they trudge along

The same model as previous but from a front on angle, zoomed out a little to show the approach and the effect of the sand.

Fun update I forgot to add - I was a day early without realizing it, so I was only 26 hours before the deadline waking up 😂

My late LATE (like, my brain didn’t work til it woke me up two hours before deadline and wouldn’t let me go back to sleep til I drew, it was like 5am 💀) entry for the latest @hellsculptclub.bsky.social theme, ‘Tartarian Machine’ - a steam-powered demon 😈

Might make him an OC

A traditional drawing of a horned demon with vents in his horns and steam coming out of them, there is steam coming out of his right (HIS right, left from our view) eye though the shadows make it unsure if it is also a vent or just a rage effect, he is looking at us with a mix of disdain and irritation.

I think that pornographic and profane art deserves to exist without any sort of addendum that the real victims are "innocent" lgbtq+ people caught in the crossfire. I think that sex is normal and beautiful and also gross and should not be banned, barred, or persecuted. that's my take.

And yes this was a matter of 'whenever I hear the word 'rapture' it makes me think of raptors' but I wanted to make it feel holier and what's more holy than JC? Also fits the brief of zombie (he straight up rises from the dead, he's the OG zombie)

natresoma @natresoma.bsky.social · Jul 11

FINALLY remembered to post this: my June entry for the @hellsculptclub.bsky.social for the theme 'Zombie Apocalypse Rapture'. There was going to be 5000% more zombie but brain and time were against me, then I realized - Jesus IS a zombie, technically, so...

A grayscale monochromatic digital illustration of Jesus Christ with his signature hand gesture, riding upon a raptor as it roars into the air, sunrays shining down onto them from above, their surroundings dark and murky

reminder: climate fatalism becomes starkly absurd when you put it in literal, immediate and physical terms.

Oh no there's just no way we can ever stop handing billions in subsidies to this coal mining company. Damn, we're doomed. Guess we just keep on doin it

Ketan Joshi @ketanjoshi.co · Aug 15

You realise "climate change is inevitable" is absurd when you reword it as "fossil fuels are inevitable" or "Exxon is inevitable" or "Rishi Sunak is inevitable"

It's a threat built of causes which we can identify and fight. Fatalism is pro-fossil. Be pro-fighting, instead ✊🏽

if i could give any advice to any artist

seriously. create what YOU want
dont create what you think people like

because everyone is doing that shit and there's no soul in it

even if only 10 people enjoy it
youre making stuff that 11 people are going to love and remember

Tickle gnawing on a wearied Sam's shoulder, holding on with his 'human grippers'.

Henri sitting at a table with a can of cola, looking very, very tired.

Slugman with a despondent "whyyyyy" expression.

Audrey and Sam; Audrey is in a half-half state between monster and vending machine forms. She's looking away, embarrassedly.

Rat Champion about to run you through.

And Sewer Beast being... well... a trypophobia nightmare.

So sticky-hot today despite a glowering grey sky. I'm going right back to the 1800s to find a word that fits the way it feels...

'Sloomy' when one feels sleepy and languid from the heat

Sloomy definition 'flaccid or beginning to rot; sluggish or gloomy

a colorful painting of a person's face in the center looking right at the viewer with a star shaped eye. there are three hands framing the face, one of then pointing at the viewer. sharp wisps of light in white, pink and blue shine with the eye as a focal point.

Four of five 'minor enemy' drawings I did for Tumblr by Ask request, to celebrate getting over 1000 followers there.

#LookOutside

Tall Pipe Man, along with a very dumb reference to Lesser Dog from Undertale.

Elevator Thing. I feel really bad for this monster. I hope we can spare it in the future some day.

Scarf. Honestly not very horror-themed. Very Mega Man coded, really, especially alongside the Tuques (fuzzy Mets).

Clyde. You can't improve perfection, but I did add some more arms.

First horror art and it's an entry for @hellsculptclub.bsky.social - 'Terror from the Abyss'
Got a little venty, very experimental, but I did it 🎉

I do find it funny that my first horror art was a vent piece back then and my first horror art as natresoma is also a vent piece LOL

natresoma @natresoma.bsky.social · Jun 5

Another bonus: TECHNICALLY SPEAKING my first horror art was actually this vent art I drew a few years ago, I still really like the colours on it, but again it was vent art and before natresoma existed, I called it 'Welcome To The Death of Me'.

A waist-up art piece of a person holding their own severed head, with a bouquet of flowers in their neck hole, the background is mostly indistinct, with what appears to be a field behind and some sparks going across near the neck area, with light shining down from the top downwards.
