Playing with the Biohazard halographic sticker to show off all the gross shiny bits. They look so great in person!

We keep finding each other in strange circumstances.

Digital art of a red stag with massive mandibles. It stands in the middle of a double-line road, entrails hanging from its maw as it feeds on fresh, steaming roadkill. The air is crisp and the beast's breath hangs around its face. It is glitchy in places, distorted, and its white eyes glow with a trailing light that draws the eyes down toward the horrific sight below its snout. In the distance are the taillights of a passing car - perhaps the culprit responsible for the strike?

Digital painting of a white-eyed elk standing in a foggy, dreary place with a backgdrop of dead, branchless trees. Tangled in its antlers are the antlers of another elk, whose head has been severed at the neck and has exposed spine showing. A simple gold ribbon loops around the first elk's body, going from one side of the painting to the other.

Thanks for hosting artshare, Luisa, and really appreciate the dark art theme. Happy Autumn Equinox.

A human figure facing left with a ram skull head is crouched on a small stone wall in a dark forest.

Pyres of Samhain. Digital mixed medium. 2006.

A lone abandoned two story stone farmhouse in the woods on an Autumn night. The sky is overcast and the moon looms large. Clouds are illuminated by unseen fires.

A Heart of the Forest. Digital mixed medium. 2025.

A human figure facing forward in a misty forest. They are somewhat translucent and is wearing a black robe. You can partially see their ribs and hear. Their head is a giant white rose splattered with blood.

Black Mass. Digital mixed medium. 2025.

A human figure is facing forward. They are wearing a black hooded robe. They have a ghostly skull-like face and have bloodshot eyes. The moon is positioned behind their head.

Happy equinox and thank you for hosting Lusia 😎 🍷

Here are a few of my recent darker pen pieces

And a few (optional) tags for @gaelricci.bsky.social @stringerseven.bsky.social @superactionfunboy.bsky.social @lcuonl.bsky.social @ceraralaz.bsky.social

Pen drawing that fills the page with faces, some more realized than others and fleshy emerging from a twisted textured wall made up of small details with some that look like ancient metal, others of organic shapes and others bits and pieces of scrap that have been used together into a solid mass.

Pen drawing with a number of organic shapes and elements of body parts radiating out from a stylized stone or bone looking eye of Ra. The overall effect is like a carved relief in black and white ink with faces peering out above and below the eye while there are branches, stone and vine like structures flowing around the eye.

Pen drawing with the main element being a serpentine figure with vaguely feminine human features and a spiral shell like structure on the head, leaning from the right with large black eyes and a body covered with various bony growths like armor down it's back, kneeling on an uneven stone floor. One arm with a couple of large claws is slightly pointed at another figure is visible just below a large obsidian stylized skull pendant. The other figure is standing, holding a flowing robe at the waist, but has a smooth stone face but is otherwise human. In the background, lounging on the ground or on a pillar amount he strange organic shapes while in the background are stone structures that appear to be a temple like complex with a large circular structure that looks to be plugged into the large stylized skulls below it.

Pen drawing a slight framed young woman with her head encased in a metal face mask with strange markings on it with greasy hair spread out over it with devices and wires coming off the helmet. Her arms are bound to her sides by a metal band as she sits cross-legged in a long, old and tattered white dress that flows over her legs. She is separate but a part of the strange devices and technologies surrounding her with two spines emerging from her shoulders almost like distorted wings, seeming to be more of the controlled than the controller of the environment.

Remember that scene in the Grudge 2 where she descends from the attic door into the closet? Because I remember. I’ll always remember.

Oooooh he looks sick, the colors remind of retro games, like I wouldn't be surprised if he was the boss monster at the end of a 2d platformer

⚡Thanks for the share, Luisa!⚡

I'm a mostly digital Bru, wandering the hex tundra, seeking the lost and the forgotten.

#art #darkart #abstract

an abstract maelstrom of colours and leaves. green orange and red rands, and black tendrils. Defocused points of light.

A half black, half white cat sits with its back toward the viewer. The cat is sat in an orange, glowing woods, with two arched, blank doorways, one black, one white, in amongst the branches.

An odd, toned black and white image of a tree, with extended, leafless limbs looming above.

I love the vibes in your art... It tickles some spots in my aesthetics.

Unfortunately I draw not enough eerie, gloomy art, but I want to in future.
More stuff like this one:

Dark painting of a bloodelf shadowpriest standing in the fields. Just silently observing trough pitch black eyes with tiny glowing pupils.

Thanks for the artshare! Here's some of my #darkArt 🖤

A grayscale illustration featuring a black crow taking flight from foreground rocks with a gold coin in its mouth. In thd background is a tall dark tower on a hill and sunlight breaking through cloud cover.

A digital illustration of four purple snakes entwined in a celtic knot pattern with small wings covering their eyes. They are framed by a hold disc with a border pattern of eyeballs and viscera and four outer corner purple wings.

A digital illustration of a purple figure with a flat expression and hands up grasping weakly at colourful looping shapes that obscure most of their face and body.

A digital illustration of a heron crouched awkwardly over river rubbish, with its neck bent backwards and wrapped in fishing wire and a skull for a head. It holds a white lily in its beak and neon pink liquid flows from its eye sockets and splatters around. The objects below include dessicated dead fish with plastic spilling out of its guts, plastic bottles, cans, dice, cigarette butts, and a snail. The background is neon green. This illustration was a commentary on river pollution inspired by memento mori paintings.
