Good morning. Just vaguely thinking about them still makes me sick. You're welcome.
Doodles of Grace and Simon from Infinity Train, colored digitally. 1) Grace and Simon sitting on a wall, Grace putting her right shoe on, Simon writing in a notebook. 2) Simon, wearing a harpoon pack, sulking in a corner. 3) Grace and Simon seen from a distance, sitting in the middle of one of the shops of the Mall Car. Grace seems to be trying to use a first aid kit to bandage Simon's head. There's a few drops of blood on the floor between the first aid kit and where they're sitting.

My illustration for the Doctor Who fanzine "In All But Name"!

archive.org/details/inal...
Watercolor fanart of the Faction Paradox book "The Brakespeare Voyage", mostly in blue, purple and orange tones. Cousin Nebaioth, a Faction initiate wearing a skull mask, pointing a toothpick-shaped spear-like weapon at a gigantic orange eye in the starry nightsky, surrounded by smaller , similar eyes. Hundreds of objects big and small swarm around Nebaioth (defaced Captain coins, books, sea birds, fish, planets and stars). The closer the objects are to the giant eye in the sky, the more they assemble together to form the shape of sailship masts, all pointing toward the eye.

Synesthesia drawings of personal favorite hit songs - 2018: “La même” by Gims & Vianney

Not sure if I can draw the six songs left before 2025 ends but that would be cool
Abstract pattern illustrating the song “La même” by Gims and Vianney. Gims has round and vivid blue and purple vocals that go pale blue in the high notes, Vianney has low-key brown and gold vocals, and there's a lot of squiggly grey lines made by the guitar, among other shapes made by the bass and the other sparse instruments. There's a small picture of the duo next to a transparent box like in the music video, in the bottom right corner. Gims is pointing and Vianney plays the guitar.

You know how in Infinity Train, every time you think Simon is going to have an actual epiphany, he doubles down on his dangerous worldview and/or his most toxic traits instead? Well-
Infinity Train fancomic. 1) The Mall Car at night. Simon and Grace are sitting on some stairs, each working on something, while four Apex kids are running around. Lucy, holding two sticks on her head like antlers: "Yaaaa!!" The other kids: "Aaaah!" "The deer!" "Run! Run!" 2) Grace, from the stairs: "Hey! It's getting late, and some of your friends are asleep!" Lucy: "Yes Grace! Understood, Grace!" 3) Simon, who's sculpting a miniature: "Sometimes I think we should enforce a curfew..." Grace, who's cleaning her shoe with a toothbrush: "Wow. You're in a bad mood." 4) Simon looks away, lost in thought. 5) Simon, frowning: "I keep thinking about that Null from earlier." Grace, looking at him: "The deer, or the chrome girl?" Simon: "The chrome girl. Usually they don't look as human-like as that one. I don't like it." Page 2. 1) Grace, frowning: "Speaking of which: next time I find a new recruit, try to get rid of their nulls faster." Simon looks a bit worried. 2) Simon, determined: "Yeah. Sorry. I told it to get lost, but it didn't work. It won't happen again." Grace smiles and nods. 3) Grace, making little "spooky" gestures with her hands, smiling: "You're right, though. It was a bit too human. Creepy." 4) Simon, dead serious, frowning again, sculpting the miniature: "Yeah, I don't like it. It makes it worse." 5) He looks away again, holding his own arm in a protective gesture. Grace is confused. 6) Wide shot of the dark, empty mall, with their two small silhouettes sitting on the stairs. Simon, still holding his own arm: "If they're almost human, it means they hurt us on purpose."

The end!
Silent hill 4 fan art. Henry in his bedroom, sitting on his bed, hiding under a blanket. The room is haunted, the walls covered in bruise-like reddish stains, and the framed picture above the bed has been replaced by a portrait of Walter Sullivan. Silent hill fan art. Harry and Lisa talking, sitting on a gurney and a chair in a dark room. Lisa is looking away from Harry. Red blood-like lines are descending onto her from the darkness, staining her clothes and her face. Silent hill 2 fan art. James, looking somber, sitting under the nine red squares save points right before the final boss fights. He's holding the vhs tape and the film from the tape is tangled around him.

Silent hill fan art. Harry Mason standing on the road after the car crash at the beginning of the game. Snow is falling around him. Silent hill 2 fan art. James looming ominously over Mary in her sickbed. He's holding her hand but you can't see his expression at all. Silent hill 2 fan art. Maria touching James' face through the bars in the prison, during the "See? I'm real" dialogue. Unlike in the actual cutscene, her face is halfway in the shadows. Silent hill 3 fan art. One of the game's strange and unsettling set pieces. Valtiel, a faceless humanoid figure with red gloves, is bent in half, chest up, suspended behind a series of photos glued to rusty metal plates. His face is behind a picture of a laughing mouth and all the other pictures are identical shots of a bleeding left ear. Everything looks rusty and covered in blood stains.

Silent hill 4 fan art. Henry waking up, sitting on the ground, in the forest world, under a lamp post at night. There's pine trees and tall grass around him.

Silent Hill 4 fan art. Henry in a greenish hallway made of pipes and metal grates, firing a revolver at a Twin Victim, a monster with two baby heads walking in two large arms wrapped in a black shroud, pointing at him. Silent Hill 2 fanart. James being strangled by one of the three bed-frame-like bosses of the hospital, that are hanging from the ceiling. He's using his hands to try to free himself and kicking his feet. Silent Hill 3 fan art. Heather reading one of Stanley's journals next to a doll and to the wall where he glued a lot of items. She isn't even touching the journal but she looks disgusted. The ghost of Stanley is hovering over her, many ghostly hands touching her hair or gesturing around her face. Silent Hill 3 fan art. Vincent, in the library, holding a book, looking vaguely apologetic but also smug.

Harry Mason in an alley, shouting at a flying monster that looks like a skinned pterodactyl. Silent Hill 4 fan art. Walter Sullivan sitting in the floor in the middle of black feathers and red cords.

Heather in the flooded pit under the other world hospital, knee-deep in muddy water, raising her katana to stab Leonard, a huge featureless humanoid figure with reddish skin crawling through the water right in front of her.

Silent Hill 4 fan art. Henry and Eileen walking down the spiral staircase in Walter's dimension, in the fog, under a broken piece of wall in mid-air with a dimensional circular hole in it. An enormous moth with shiny red eyes is perched right under the hole. Henry is carefully peering over the edge of the staircase. Silent Hill 4 fan art. Walter Sullivan watching you through the peephole. Silent hill 3 fan art. Heather trying to leave the haunted mansion, wary, her back against a door. The deadly red mist is filtering through the door and above her head, vaguely looking like fingers reaching for her. Silent Hill 2 fan art. James facing the boss based on Maria//Mary, distorted and upside-down in a cage-like bedframe, arms extended, surrounded by a swarm of black moths. A black tentacle coiled around her body has impaled James through the chest.

Haven't posted this year's artober here cause I forgot oops
This year mine is Silent Hill themed
Silent Hill 4 fan art. Eileen, very distressed, clutching an old notebook against her chest, covered in bandages and bruises, staring straight into the camera with her only eye not covered by a bandage. There's a halo of eleven bloody handprints on the greenish tiled wall behind her. Silent Hill fan art. Cybil, possessed, with glowing red eyes, rising up from a wheelchair on the merry go round, gun drawn. Her posture is a bit strange and puppet-like. There's weird vein-like red tendrils around her. Silent Hill 3 fan art. Heather looking into the hole in the floor that opened after she poured blood on the altar in the hospital. There's a trail of blood going from the altar behind her to the hole in the floor and plunging into darkness. Silent Hill 2 fan art. James in the historical society, looking at the Pyramid Head painting ("Misty day, remains of judgement"), extending a hand towards the painting.

There's apparently a scene that was cut for time in Infinity Train S2E07 where Lucy and other Apex kids were doing some kind of weird cult thing with belongings stolen from another passenger and I thought it would be fun to draw that. I have no idea what it was supposed to look like, though
Infinity Train fanart in watercolor. Lucy and two other Apex kids standing next to a circle of Yankee candles lit around a backpack and a water bottle. Lucy is pointing at the backpack with a wooden sword. Grace is looking at them from a distance, wondering what they are doing.
