digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

Digital color illustration, title at bottom: The Split. In the foreground is a horse from the neck up in distress. Multiple human hands and fingers are pushing and pulling their way out of its mouth while a stream of black fluid pours over its head, streaming into and from its eyes and dripping down off the canvas. The background is completely taken up by a flat mass of gnarled, twisting roots that converge with scaly flesh on a single enormous eye with a horse's pupil, which is looking at the horse.

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

digital greyscale illustration. title at bottom: The Pit Guardian. a very small silhouetted person stands toward the bottom left of canvas, looking up at an immense being in front of them. the being has emerged from a large black pit in the ground. it is mostly comprised of long, waving vines that turn into masses of hair at its bottom. its head is a horse skull, and it is looking straight down at the person. located around where its "chest" is, is a black hole, which the vines curve around to create its shape. the background is mostly featureless grey, with some distant grey mountains.

my finished #ZombieSkulltober hormse 🤠

Digital greyscale ink drawing that uses lots of fine lines and hatching. A portrait of a zombie horse from the neck up. Its decayed, mostly skeletal mouth is open and its ear is perked up. Its neck is torn open, revealing bands of muscle underneath. Its dark mane flows in movement.

Day 8 of #zombieskulltober ! Went so very very traditional. Traditional has one very big drawback, my eyes have aged out of media I can’t pinch zoom on :) #darkart #sculpture #zombie

A rough, skullish plastercine zombie head sculpted onto a board. Approximately 2.5 inches tall. A quarter and a dime beside it for scale.

If you see this, post something monochromatic

Black and white ink drawing of hands covered in boils clawing at a distorted, horrific face. On the left hand side the nose and mouth take on a mummified look, the mouth trails into skin being torn in half, forming the facsimile of a smile that leads up to the right eye. The right eye is surrounded by a blanket of loose skin being pulled in multiple directions by the hands-- fingers holding the eye socket open and the eye ball completely exposed. The placement and perspective of the facial features are irrespective of each other. The illustration is inked using micron pens.

I started this piece a good while ago with just the line drawing. The board was put aside and then moved about, getting a bit abused. I challenged myself to fix it and finish it. It’s finally done. Almost. 😂
