Four chibi, sanrio-style characters- a bat in a pink hoodie with orange ears, a white and pink set animal, a dog in a tank top, and a bat in a green hoodie with green ears

And of course I meme on it all the time. What's a 90's modern fantasy crime thriller with monsters without some levity?

An edit of the charscters from pop team epic to be a blonde man dressed in red and white and a young woman in a purple suit

A redraw of the cover of "Go for it Nakamura!" With a young black woman in the center, surrounded by hearts, strawberries, papers, blood splatters, and pictures of various characters. It says "Don't go for it Renee! Get a different job, please!"

A redraw of an Archie comic cover with a very large, horned man in a white suit with silver hair pointing at a group of three people including a blonde man in red glasses, a black woman with a bandana, and a tan man with a moustache.

The title reads "What the fuck YOU ARE LARGE and pointing"

The large man says "I AM LARGE"

The crowd says "WHAT THE FUCK?"

A red circle says "He is pointing"

A sketchy redraw of the barbie mugshot meme with five characters- a blonde man in red glasses (Nostriano), a very large horned man with silver hair in a white suit (Muriel), a young black woman in a purple shirt (Renee), a tan man with a moustache in a sweater (Tyson), and a tall bat-like man with glasses (and Gus). Everyone looks angry or scared except for Gus, who is grinning smugly

Its obvious Nostriano is my favorite to draw, but I try to give the whole cast some love- Renee, his new employee and the other central character, Tyson, and Muriel

A wanted poster for someone named Nostriano Forba. The two images are of a blonde man wearing read glasses and a high-collared red shirt. On the right he is facing the camera and scowling. On the left he has his back turned to the camera, peering over his shoulder and grinning manically. One hand is gripping the edge of the frame, one hand appears to be distorting into a batlike wing.

He is described as thin, white, Scottish, and a vampire. He is wanted for murder, mind control, and political conspiracy.

He is considered malicious and highly dangerous

An image of a blonde, fanged man staring into a cracked bathroom mirror. His hair is lank and wet, one eye is beady and panicked and one is flushed red. The crack on the mirror hides a wound he is examining in the mirror on his neck, shirt pulled away from it with blood pouring down his chest.

Bright red text says "YOU'VE WASTED YOUR IMMORTALITY"

Three chibi-style figures, one is a smiling young black woman holding a wrench, wearing jeans, boots, a leather jacket, and a strawberry pin in her braids. One is a tan, curly haired man with a moustache in a sweater and jeans who looks worried. The last is a blonde man with fangs wearing a red shirt, white jacket, red glasses, white bell bottoms, and dress shoes, smiling with a hand raised.

A chibi-style drawing of a man with yellow eyes, short black horns, and long silver hair in a white suit. He is drawing a pistol out of his jacket

I've made a bunch of art for Bloody Terrible, I will take any excuse to draw the characters. I've got a whole threads worth of them! This is one of my favorite pieces, featuring Renee and Nostriano, the two main characters, and most of the cast

A photo of the Chicago riverwalk at night. Two people, a blonde man in a red and white outfit with red glasses and a young black woman in a leather jacket, are walking along, smiling, and talking to each other. On the stairs and seats around them a collection of people, some clearly nonhuman, are all looking at the pair

Excited to babble about Bloody Terrible because I do present and take the story seriously but Nostriano is also just embodying stuff like this the whole time

A comic of a character looking at their stomach. The stomach has a wordbubble staying "You just ate WHAT, motherfucker? Is this a... a... pepperoni god-damnit Pot Pocket? It's seven in the morning, fool!"

A tweet by @MILFmassacre that says "a few rounds into strip poker and it's becoming increasingly clear I'm wearing a bomb vest"

A pair of comments from reddit. The first says "Your first reaction was to bite him?!"

The reply says "no I had time to think about it"

A tweet from @Robert_Earl182 that says

"My five year plan:

1. ??
2. ??
3. ??
4. ??
5. And then they'll all be sorry."

Ponysona, their name is Cornbread

A digital drawing of a green and orange my little pony-style earth pony with a bow and a skull and crossed spoon/fork cutie mark. Their name is cornbread. They run a diner. A closeup of the cutie mark says "Their cutie mark kind of scares people (just has a vulture hobby)". A small two-panel comic to the side has them at a counter saying "You know Applejack and I are different kinds of Southern, right?", while Applejack looks at a menu and says "Oh gross they serve banana puddin' here"
