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.

#fanart #queerartist #digitalart #gayartist #darkart #gw2
A charr from guild wars 2, framed by the moon during sunset. His eyes are faintly glowing and he pulls magical dark energy from his chest as he gazes into the distance. There are scars on his back.

I’m still getting used to ballpoint pen, but love the way it makes me think before I draw.

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.

Hey all, happy Wednesday! Thought I would jump on board the #artshare train!

My name is Reid, and I do art featuring dark and mysterious male figures. I love to explore nature, queerness, and the balance of light and dark in my work 🦌
A male figure stands facing away from the viewer in a pool of subdued abstract colors and shapes. Vibrant streaks of lines form within his body. He faces a single orange moon in the distance. Black rectangles of varying sizes float around him. A web of black lines frames the top of the image. There are stars in the sky.

Thank you again for the #artshare - I hope things start looking up soon!

Hopefully this qualifies as an “artistic nude” :)

My piece titled “In the Headlights”
A thin nude man stands in the headlights of a car, facing away from the viewer, on a dark snowy night. One hand is making a gun shape and held low, the other is gripping the bill of a baseball cap. The figures face is obscured. A deer is entering the road from the right, it is pale. On the left, a bent stop sign juts out at an odd angle. The moon is small and bright and there are nearly no stars in the sky.

Thanks for the tag!

My name is Reid, I focus mainly on dark semi-erotic evocative art. This was my first time using my own body as inspiration, both physically and for its story, and remains one of my favorite pieces even after all these years.
A headless male figure lit with candles like an alter. Its hands are center frame, pulling at the chest. A slim halo is seen in the background.

Outside of my dark and sometimes more erotic art, I have a soft spot for pups and have done quite a few dog-featured pieces over the years.

Here’s a scratchboard piece of my boy.

#art #gayartist #dog #dogsofbluesky
A scratchboard depiction of a black grand Pyrenees dog, close up on his face with his snout closest to the viewer.

The nude backside of a large tattooed man. Text in the top left reads “HIS PLAYFUL SENSE OF HUMOR AND REBELLIOUS ATTITUDE FOUND THEIR WAY TO HIS SKIN.”

Not my usual style with it being borderline cartoon-y, but something I wanted to experiment with. While it’s not something I’ll do much more of, it was a nice challenge to try creating something different to what I usually do.

#digitalart #gayartist #bara #art #gayart
A cartoonish strong man stands facing forward, one hand resting on his hip as the others rests by his thigh. He wears tattered pants, a tank top, and military dog tags.

I hope Bluesky is as fond of this old piece of mine as I am!

“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 older school project that I’ve remained quite fond of, even having stickers and clothing made of it.

#darkart #gayartist #art #queerartist
Four hands in a loose pile cut off at the lower wrist with bone exposed. The hands have rings going around the fingers, down the hand into interweaving designs, and down the wrist.

Trying to get more into sketching more often, either physically or digitally. Here’s what I came up with last night.

A large sketched naked male torso with three figures emerging from the top.

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.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

“Meditation”
A dark deer head floats above a decapitated male body in a dark forest. The body is bending to one side as if bowing. One of its arms is held at its side, its clawed hand is barely visible in the dark foliage. Its other arm fades into a glowing orange outline. The moon is dim and orange. A similar shape is hovering just below the figure. The deers head is purely in silhouette and it drips a stream of dark fluid onto the figure below. Its antlers stretch into abstract branches and pedals. There seem to be embers in the canopy.

While I’ve become a fan of digital art, there’s something about the permanence of a sketch pad and a pen, where the doodles build on each other instead of being able to erase and start again.

A red headed man’s head, floating in a dark liquid, his body obscured. He wears a black crown askew on his head, while more of the dark liquid bleeds from his mouth. The sun looms large, centered behind the head, either rising or setting behind the horizon. A giant underlit face looks out over sparse few conifer trees with a somewhat starry sky above. A thin nude man stands in the headlights of a car, facing away from the viewer, on a dark snowy night. One hand is making a gun shape and held low, the other is gripping the bill of a baseball cap.

A WIP shot of “The Escape Artist” from years ago. I’ve been enjoying the opportunity sharing content on Bluesky has given me to look back at my old work to see how my process has changed, and the progress I’ve made as an artist.

#darkart #gayart #gayartist #gay #gaybear #bara
A heavy-set nude male figure stands in the center of a stage, lit from above by warm lights. His face is skull-like with sunken eyes and a dark full beard. He drags his left hand across his chest, leaving thin cuts, while his other hand is presented at his side towards the viewer. Above him floats a pair of crisscrossed antlers that frame a glowing triangular symbol. He wears broken handcuffs that droop from his wrists. Along the bottom of the stage, dark bramble are growing and entwining with his calves. Behind him are tall dark curtains.

Posted a censored version of this back in my instagram days. Glad that Bluesky lets us free the balls (and then some)

A chunky nude man is in a reclined pose against a plain white backdrop with a colored circle around him. He is bearded, wears only socks, and had pierced nipples. From his hand comes a flowing floral design.

A beastly bearded man wearing a skull shaped mask stares straight ahead at the viewer with kind eyes. He is just barely smiling. Golden light flows in all around him and shimmering flecks flows through the air. Glowing roots grow from behind him. A headless male figure lit with candles like an alter. Its hands are center frame, pulling at the chest. A slim halo is seen in the background. A dark deer head floats above a decapitated male body in a dark forest. The body is bending to one side as if bowing. One of its arms is held at its side, its clawed hand is barely visible in the dark foliage. Its other arm fades into a glowing orange outline.

Quite an old painting from back when I used photoshop. This piece solidified my fascination with the balance of darkness and gentleness that has become a mainstay in my work.

#darkart #art #digitalart #spooky #gayartist
A beastly male figure stands sideways in a dark forest, reaching an arm out. He is headless, and a skull with long arcing horns floats above his body where his head would be. Blood drips from his neck and from off his hand. Glowing white butterflies descend from a shaft of light and gather along his hand and arm. A similarly glowing triangular symbol floats between the figures horns.

“The Pantomime” was the first piece where I used my own body as a reference. Still working on being less self conscious about including myself in my art.

#gayartist #darkart #gay #gayart #art
The artist stands in the dark taking a selfie in a mirror. There is a bright candle obscuring his genitals. His face is cut off by the frame of the image.
