#whumptober2025 #ocart #ocs #robotoc #whump #scifiart #robots

A drawing of Fennec and Holly in a med bay. Holly’s arm is bandaged, and they are curled in on themselves with a troubled expression. Fennec reaches out to them, concerned, saying, “Please. Let me help you.”

I also just finished another visual novel for #Jamsepticeye ! Play as a wo/man being consumed by a mysterious ocean disease -- and the only known cure turns recipients into fish/human hybrids.

Whumptober: Pinned to the Wall “You’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears”

#whumptober2025 #whumpart #ocart #originalcharacters #killjoyunnaturals

A black and red (and white) drawing of Nash getting pinned against the wall by an Angel soldier whose face is blacked out by a scribble. Nash’s face is bleeding, and there are tears in his eyes. In spite of this, he smiles spitefully at his opponent, saying, “Lotta nerve you got, love.”

Barghest The Big Black Dog

Just finished this one today, I'd added in puddles and reflections just so I could do a rain drop and water ripple effect I've been doing on the reel version of this. Thought I'd try adding the puddles / reflections to back to this too, prints up!

WHUMPTOBER DAY 1: Lamb to the Slaughter
#whumptober2025 #whumpart #horror #horrorart #angel #ocart #originalcharacter

A lineless illustration of Jericho on her knees. She is wearing a plain, floor length dress, and has a large golden halo above her head. A pair of bloody hands holds his head in place, one pressing a large knife to his throat, and the other holding him by his hair. A pair of eyes can be seen looming behind him, though it's unclear exactly who they belong to.

Spoopy season is upon us… 🍂👻
Night draw in, air turn cowd sharp, old story creep back... strange parade, red-eyed cat on rooftop and shadow that whisper in ginnel 'ole. Keep lantern lit, never know what wait in dark. 😻❤️🖤

✹ wire crossed lovers

Risograph print in orange, federal blue, black and metallic gold. It depicts a humanoid robot with a wider build, between two server cases of a larger machine. Wires in orange and dark blue tangle around the robot, it delicately cradles several wires in its hands.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Concept art for a short film I’ll probably never make
#art #ocart #originalcharacter #sketchbook #conceptart

A traditional marker sketch of Nash from “Unnaturals”. He is wearing his electrician uniform, holding a flashlight in one hand and toolbox in the other. He has a perturbed look on his face as the darkness closes in around him, held back only by the light from his flashlight. The art is captioned, “THE DAYSTAR TOWER”.

Fuck off telling folks to be afraid.

Fear is the poison killing us. Fear is what they want us to drink and drink until we're soured on hope.

Spit it out of your mouth.

Be unafraid, for that is resistance.

We will be reckless, and we will be joyous.

A sheet displaying Jet Set Jackie and their counterpart, Circuit Breakdown, from “Jet, Set, and Go!” side by side. Jackie is an android wearing military fatigues and camo face paint. Circuit is a more visibly robotic android wearing a dark blue scarf and light blue jacket, as well as gloves.

This year I’ve had to confront the fact that if we lived in even a slightly more decent world I would not need to be on psych meds, but we don’t, so I need the meds in order to help keep me alive, because I should be alive

-at this point you really can't go and tell me or someone else there isn't a real basis for it. I think Smail is very much correct in pointing out that a lot of mental disorders we deem as 'irrational' are a form of reasonable response to a frankly horrific and inhumane world.

Sketches from a few weeks ago to hold you over while I work on my next big project <3
#angeloc #robotoc #sonaart #sketches #ocart

A sketch of a humanized seraph with curly hair, head wings, and a cross necklace who looks perturbed. This sketch is captioned, "angel with anxiety".

Beneath that is another sketch, this time of a robotic angel wearing a ball cap and a sleeveless turtleneck. This angel looks angry about something. The drawing is captioned, "angel with anger issues".
