Chucking this into the void like a frisbee, so here goes nothing!

Hello Bluesky! My name is Astral, I draw fanart for games I like, and sometimes other stuff too.

A digital painting of an armored man holding a gun, pictured from the knees up, his face and arm have mutated, leaving him with exposed teeth and a clawed hand.

A digital painting of a man, depicted from the waist up. He is cradling a small round robot against his cheek and smiling.

A digital drawing of a four armed space alien, depicted from the knees up. The alien is strumming on a guitar, and appears to be enjoying itself.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who gets the “become a woods hermit” urge.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · 2d

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

🦇 happy halloween from ur local vampire knight 🦇

digital illustration of my character Wolfgang, a medieval knight turned vampire stumbling through the forest at night. their face, armor and sword covered in blood that is not their own. their expression feral, and hungry.

the knight turned vampire finally succumbs to the call of the priest's blood 🩸

happy halloween!!

#art #ocart

a digital comic page, it opens in a haze of red on a clawed hand of the VAMPIRE reaching for a sleeping figure (THE PRIEST), most of the panels are in black and white depicting the shame and torture of the vampire struggling with the call of blood until the priest offers his hand to them, at this point art switches to full saturated color.

a digital comic page, in full color its focused on the vampire biting the offered hand and hungrily licking the blood away, they are distracted with their bloodlust until the priest reaches for their face and brings them close for a kiss

Fuck it, let's go

A skeleton who is on fire with a sword. The captions read:

State of the world? bad.
Mental health? Also bad.

But still, we charge forward.

The Other Happy Place @theotherhappyplace.bsky.social · 9d

The Justice center loomed in front of Mercy. The
gleaming white marble staircase led up to the pillars like the blanched
remains of petrified trees. Statues of angels beheading sinners crowned
the top. Above the enormous entry were the words “ God
protects the innocent, We punish the guilty.”

Funds are really scarce this month and I would really love to be able to afford groceries over the next couple of weeks.

Let’s talk tarot! We can chat about life and do some reflecting. Maybe I can offer you new insights or a new perspective?

Here are some recent client spreads:
