Pinned post time!

I'm Axel, weird queer goth artist from Brighton. 🏳️‍⚧️
I mostly work traditionally, and have illustrated scary and fantasy novels.
I love drawing horror, creatures and the humans who inhabit their world.

A monster with a twisted horse-like head, a second tooth filled head next to it. It's holding a glowing sword, his cape and mane flowing in the wind

A priest having a chat with a jester in a confession booth. Both of them are vampires, they are smiling as if they are plotting something

A knight, Sir Gideon of Ofnir from Elden Ring, hunched over a desk. There are books and notes all over, a candle lighting the room

A boar-like beast eating a piece of flesh, it's muzzle bloody, tusks protruding from its jaws. He has a black cat on his head

The sword of Malkav 🗡️
Albeit metaphorical, the sword of the father of all madness strikes those who threaten his children.
The sword alters a fundamental belief of the victim, in this case an inquisitor forgetting that the supernatural ever existed.

A black and white comic page made with ink and watercolour. The first panel shows two people being threatened. The following panels depict a man with a beard reaching into himself to stab a metaphorical sword into a soldier's forehead, as a mirror shatters behind him.

I emerge from the shadows once again!
Life's been busy, I shall upload some art made during these strange times.

Thank you! Same, it seems to be very controversial with the fans, but I'm really vibing with it!

"Devour me.
Consume me, my body and my soul, until the last morsel of my being.
Ravage me, for I am yours, and once there is nothing left of me, we can be one, with not one speck of the universe between.
We shall be one, everlasting devotion."

A tall humanoid boar monster looms over a vampire with her mouth open, revealing sharp teeth and tusks, the two sharing a look. The vampire has the skin torn from his chest, with his chest cavity visible, the boar pulling out his entrails. The vampire is holding onto a cross and rosary that's around his neck

I’ve designed some fabric patches for the first time ever~! 💀

Here’s one inspired by the sabre-tooth, I think it’s my fave. I should be getting them in for mcm.

Should I make some cryptid themed ones?

#darkart #art #illustration #fabricpatches #skulls #bigcat

A fabric patch design featuring a digital cross hatched illustration of a sabre tooth cat skull with text below it that reads “DEAD AND DONE”. The entire thing is black and white.
