*banging pots and pans* It's #lesbianvisibilityweek bitchesss!! 🖤❤️

I'm Carmine, a self-taught artist and rabid lesbian working on two sapphic comics. I draw a lot of pinups, design a lot of characters, and incorporate a lot of macabre and midcentury-modern elements into my work.

OC, Mori
Image of a red half-fiend woman with long red hair pulled into a ponytail sitting in a pinup pose on a burgundy skull chair. She wears a spiderweb corset in such a dark purple it's nearly black, garters, and iridescent feather collar, and holds up a finger encircled in swirling, crackling purple magic.

OC, Victoria Sweet
Digital painting of a deathly pale woman with long dark hair, multiple curling horns tipped in gold, and fangs backlit by a full moon against a starless night sky. She ecstatically holds a fresh human heart in one clawed hand as the fanged mouth in her palm bites into it, spilling blood down her arm. Golden light pulses at the center of the heart and sparkles through the blood rivulets. Another mouth lined with jagged teeth gapes open at the center of her external ribcage, and she holds her translucent, partially skeletal bat-like wings at a low, casual angle.

OC, L[a Calavera] (belongs to @dapperdinobot)
Colored thighs-up digital sketch of a Hispanic woman dressed stylishly in all black with a dark purple belt and purple feathers on her hat. Her face, neck, and part of her chest is painted to resemble a skeleton, and her eyes burn red from the shadows beneath the hat's wide brim. She poses against a grey background with a smoking pistol in each clawed black hand. Wisps of smoke and shadows swirl around her.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya
Digital sketch with rough digital watercolor in greyscale and pink. Image depicts two women standing beneath a black umbrella against a grey, rainy background.
Lucita, the Latina woman holding the umbrella, wears a long black coat over a suit and leans on a silver-handled cane. She stands poised with her chin and eyebrows lifted.
Zoya, the blonde woman, is very pale and wears a baby pink coat ruffed in white fur and round, rose tinted sunglasses. She huddles close to Lucita as she looks out into the distance, one hand on her companion's arm and the other laid loosely but intimately around her shoulders.

Finally finished this piece after many hours. It’s the first time I’ve channeled my fear into my art; it felt good to let it out. I call it “Reaper”

#darkart #gayart #gayartist #digitalart #art #horror #scary

A hunched animalistic male stands in the center of a dark forest. He wears a dirty sack over his head, and is lit from behind by a thin crescent moon. In one hand he holds a bundle of rope, the other is limp and dropping. His eyes peek from holes in the sack, displaying a sad confused expression. A faint red glow is seen in the forest behind him.

“Lord of the Black Lake” is one of many pieces inspired during the process of writing a personal novel.

The body of a large erect naked and headless man facing forward, a hole in his right palm, branches growing from the fingers of his left. Black “blood” oozes from his stump neck.

An acrylic painting of a black furred whippet on a sofa, curled up in a yellow blanket.

A quadriptych(?) of four acrylic paintings, each depicting a blue jay in a different monochrome palette - green, yellow, red, and blue. The yellow panel has two jays, because I called this one "One Jay, Two Jays, Red Jay, Blue Jay."

This piece from 2019 was inspired by a meadow I used to pass by every day.

Fitfully titled “The Meadow”

#darkart #gayartist #digitalart #queerartist #art

A fantastical creature looms large over a dark forest, a starry night with a full moon behind. The creature’s head is completely dark apart from two glowing, bright eyes, the top of its head extending into massive antlers. The creature’s body is humanoid, with its skin swirling towards a center point on its chest which holds a gray circle with a white triangle points upward.

An alternate version of Galda's God of Death form, for a Crossover/AU RP plotline with a friend. This took a long time to draw, but was satisfying to make.

Thanks for the #artshare, Silvi!

I did some fanart of my necromancer character in #guildwars2 a few years ago. Used to be obsessed with this game, and would draw this character all the time.
