✨ #ARTIST THREAD ✨
Quote with two of your best works and a little introduction:

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm in Australia and like to do a little bit of everything. I love traditional printmaking and that oftentimes infiltrates my work. These are in a style I've been developing in 2024.
linktr.ee/rougeaerie
An illustration on a navy background in which a woman looms ominously behind a man with her hands raised in a grasping gesture to either side of his head. He smiles faintly and holds a white lily near his chin, with ghostly faces to either side of his own. The woman wears grey and beige robes with a red shawl over her blonde hair like a hood. An incomplete halo hovers behind her head like golden horns. The man wears all black, with a similar hood. Both figures are framed by a tangled wreath of red roses and thorns. One rose drips a trail of blood down a single leaf at the bottom of the frame. At the bottom of the frame are the words "The Night Knows My Name" and a circular logo for the Bloody Tapestry of Kae'fre by W. James Chan, with the crux et luna symbol at its centre. An illustration on a brown field in which three sickly pale hands hang from a wreath of yellow roses. Each rose and hand has a blue eye at its centre. The hands are pin-pricked by thorns in the roses that entangle them, and blood drips down towards their fingers.

Hi, I'm Robin! I write dark, atmospheric stories, and sometimes, essays.

My #horror short, The Last Band on Earth is about survival in a world where megaphone-faced monsters demand Sarah play the loudest music she and the other survivors can for them.

The Last Band On Earth by Robin Oak
It's the end of the world, and Sarah's playing packed-out gigs to megaphone-headed monsters. It's not a good time...

Every year, for the last few years, @fallenlights.net and I get pumpkins to put out with our wildlife cameras.

The process has yet to disappoint.

Devilman 💖
Devilman grasping onto Satan (Ryo) with tears flowing down his face. Devilman is dark with strong bat like wings and large animalistic muscle. Satan (Ryo) is stoic, beautiful and appears somewhat like a glimmering ghost. The androgynous hands of Satan are held near to Devilman’s face as they study his tears. They are surrounded by a vibrant fire. Cascading around them both are the strange long finger-like wings of Satan.

Authors, take note. I've recently been deluged with emails from "book clubs" offering to "introduce" my books to their "readership" (for a fee, of course).

Another scam: a rando emails you asking for a "link to your books on Amazon." DO NOT respond.

Candy apple 👻🍎 Another color study!
A digital illustration of a red apple covered with a glossy red, purple, and pink glaze sitting in a little pool of the same glaze. A white handle stick protrudes from the top of the apple with a pink and purple bow tied around it. Surrounding the apple are 3 white ghosts and a pink worm with a purple witches hat looks on from a distance.

Today's #Repostober is a deeply beloved piece of mine: Moth and Moon.

I made it for the Metamorphosis Gallery event for the Transformation Project. It was a moth themed art gallery put on by BatHaus events. It was a honor to be a part of.

#artshare #art #moth #queerart
A work of art done primarily in GIMP. Not one bit of it was made with trashy Gen AI. In the piece, the focal point is of a strange, cat-like creature with wings. This is a moth cat. The moth cat is a minty green and glows softly. It also has a pink fur tuft and pink wings. It is sitting on a rock. The moth cat is reaching towards a full, pink, glowing moon. Against the backdrop of night, there are fire flies. Among the tall grass are purple cone flowers. Various shades of pink and green are featured heavily throughout the piece.

Recently completed my mentorship with the amazing @paulscottcanavan.com! Here's my final artwork - I'm super proud of it.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Share your couples art!

Here’s all my Halloween couples together 👻🧛🏻‍♀️🧙‍♀️
An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent. They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them. The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees. An illustration of two lesbian vampires in a crypt dancing the Volta, as the butch lifts the femme in the air. The butch on the left has grey skin, red eyes & pointed ears. Her hair black with a couple of white streaks. She wears red masculine Elizabethan era clothing, with black and gold accents & white ruffles on the neck and wrists with bat wings sprouting from her back. The femme is in a white ragged Elizabethan gown with red jewel accents and her hair is silver-grey. The decorative border contains a bat up top, a red chequered pattern, coffins with heart motifs, writhing rats with tangled tails & an overspilling blood chalice at the bottom. Two lesbians in faux-Elizabethan dress waltz in front of a crescent moon & starlit sky. Next to them is a gnarled tree with candles on & there are mushrooms at their feet. The figure leading dons a witch hat & red cape while the other has bat wings. The frame is off-white and with black illustrations of jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, skeletons, bats & black cats.

Good morning, why not wake up to some fancy late 13th century carving
A carved stone capital of the late 13th century depictng a human face surrounded by beasts and decorative leaves. Some flecks of red and gold paint are still visible. A capital showing many carved animals, perhaps cats with mice in their mouths? A carved carousel depicting various birds among precisely cut leaves. A carved capital depicting dragons sleeping among realistic leaves.

Australian ravens don't caw, they kind of make this throaty "graww" sound. I can mimic it pretty closely, and it's fun to see them react.

I am no longer allowed to do this.

I accidentally summoned a fledgling from a nest at the shopping centre, because it clearly thought I was an adult with food.

You know what, #TBBPrompt? I'm quite glad that people don't believe fairy tales to be vestigial. Old tales still live on in our modern times, retold in so many ways. They are certainly remnants of the past. But, they are not useless, leftover bits. They are awesome.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
