This piece in particular draws upon the cube series. I was always entranced by this series despite its middling reviews. Just... something about it always called to me

Being able to create art in the horror genre feels like a new way I can enjoy horror, and allow me to explore things in my own head, instead of just consuming someone else's media.

As i've grown older, I've definitely refined my tastes, and I find myself being more scare-able than ever. This means that I can't really enjoy horror games anymore, and my movie intake is limited to times when my partner is home.

I was never a fan of the "classics", valuing realism over nostalgia, but I also avoided torture/gore porn despite growing up in the height of the Saw era. That said, the body horror and tasteful gore in such films as Event Horizon still drew me in.

Yeah... im.. concerned.. to say the least

I didn't shade the body because I wanted the subject to feel dehumanized, but I think that it might be too jarring, and the lack of a head/feet accomplishes what I want. On the other hand this was 7 hours of work already, 2 of which was shading and tbh, I was tired lol

ive never really felt inspired in my life.. but this has to be it... its like a forceful sensation in my brain to depict these feelings... so i think for a while i might delve into Giger and art that he has inspired...

in recent months Giger has haunted my dreams, and even broken into my waking hours... not the way his art can be observed, but rather where my mind takes the feelings that his art invokes...

it speaks to me of being trans, and it speaks to me of becoming disabled... which are both things im desperately trying to come to terms with as they impact my life more and more...

I was talking to a friend about it, and Giger's brand of transhumanism really speaks to me on a level that no art ever has.. i love the near-erotic blending of flesh and machine. it speaks to me of evolution, and progress, and of being forgotten... hunted to extinction by evolution as it were..
