Howdy :^] #scissorgrinder
A paladin knight kneels before a large bat-like sphinx as he declares oath to it. The sphinx's large clawed hand hovers arohnd his waist A tiefling with a transformable outfit that allows him to pass as a human jester A satyr man with wide-leg riding chaps sitting in various poses A possibly demonic figure with bat ears, bat-like wings that bear clawed hands at the top, and aardvark-like feet. It stares menacingly at the viewer through half lidded eyes

The harpy in full #scissorgrinder
A couple full body portraits of the harpy. the body is long and almost weasel and lizard- like in nature, but covered in fur with a long feather-like mane down its back and ending in a fan shape at the tip of the tail

as for bsky, idk if/when i'll leave but i've had trouble getting behind it with their horrible auto-mod issues, among other things. i feel disuaded from posting here truly. we'll see
scissorgrinder.dreamwidth.org
<text> i'm slowly cultivating a focus on posting to dreamwidth, a non-algorithmic site that feels like older journal and forum sites i'm tired of for you pages, algorithms, rage bait content, bots, forced usage of AI. Idk when i'll shift away from instagram-i'll be archiving my photos at some point, it might be a while before then. either way, look into dreamwidth- i like it a lot so far. Just posting some writing and art for now, I might make a more personal account later. For now my only account is: scissorgrinder <image> someone stuck in a cycle of depression with the thought "i need to create more" floating around their head over and over again

CICADA TIME MOTHERFUCKERS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE SCISSOR GRINDERS ✨✨✨

Also fun fact you can't see here, all cicadas have 5 eyes - 2 big ones, and 3 little dots in a triangle on the front. All are reflective

A green and black cicada. The belly, which is white, with a black stripe leading from the very end point to the bottom pair of pale legs. A different cicada of the same description, though they're a little paler even without the lighting and their legs are GRIPPING the brick wall Cicada 2's belly, their wings are a lil darker than the bright green of cicada 1, you can also see their mouth a bit better - it's a tube attached to a round spot on the front that's white with lil black stripes

@cbedford.bsky.social sorry this took 30 years but i rarely circle back to wips so this is huge for me
#swc #sorrywereclosed #scissorgrinder
Fan art of Michelle, the protagonist of Sorry We're Closed encircled by an eye that distorts color where it overlaps, akin to her third eye ability in the game. The sleep paralysis demon grins menacingly behind her and holds hands above and below Michelle as if holding her. Inside the eye emblem the demon appears human. A color variant of the art with nearly inverted colors within the iris of the eye. A color variant of the art with stark neon colors like one might find at a night club.

I went through lots of style exploration and thumbnailing to get a consistent style i was satisfied with for the narrative illustrations. Here are just a few of the many pages I did
#conceptart #illustration #narrativeart #indiegame #highspirits #scissorgrinder #sketch #sketchbook
A series of sketches that depict: a mermaid with seaweed hair holding her tail as if a human pulling their knees to their chest, two gnomes reminiscent of Russian stacking dolls one of which has a large mushroom for a hat, and a wolf drawn using heightened geometric shapes to exaggerate it's figure A series of thumbnail sketches depicting a mermaid in various poses holding a glass dome to test out compositions for the final painting Another sketch, slightly more developed with some color to depicting water around the dome in the mermaid's hands A triptych sketch of a satyr-like fae person, a mermaid, and a slightly humanoid wolf side by side and heavily stylized like old narrative illustrations

I got to experiment stylistically with some narrative illustrations for #highspirits
Here is a sneak peek at one, side by side with its sketch/ base painting
#scissorgrinder #conceptart #conceptartist #narrativeillustration #indiegame #mermaid
A mermaid with tentacle-like tendrils for hair and a golden diadem upon her head holds a glass dome decorated with constellations between her hands as a magical aura of water surrounds the dome and spills over her hands. The entire image is set in deep, dark waters A loosely painted and far less detailed or colorful rendition of the final piece that was previously shown

- not for the game, but a personal DnD character I've made
#scissorgrinder #illustration #dnd #ttrpg #tiefling #jester #characterdesign #clown #conceptart
A series of character design sketches depicting a tiefling and the same tiefling as a jester, but human in appearance due to the costuming. The horns are loosely jester hat shaped, and the mouth continues in a straight line beyond the lips to open eerily wide, obscured by the jester face paint when in costume. A series of sketches of the same tiefking character to figure out his hair, which is in three long braids and adorned with metal jewelry and decorative tassels. One bust is a black and white jester design similar in shape to the final design The tiefling is reclined with fewer layers of clothes on, displaying how the outfit layers. His long braids are splayed out behind him and he looks directly at the viewer The same reclined tiefling art from before but with only underwear on

Royal portrait of an ashen skinned elf with long, straight white hair. He has accents of armor, including a large brooch of a boar's head, and he's adorned with golden sash and furs. Behind his head is a sun resembling halo iconography.

Finally, my boy! Rat King was the absolute earliest art and character I conceptualized
So much time has passed since then I should redraw him soon
#conceptart #conceptartist #highspirits #scissorgrinder #indiegame #ratking
Two sketches depicting a humanoid rat figure in heavy cloaks with his tail tied in a knot. On the page is also a man with the head of a fish stating "Oh, sure it's cool when it's a minotaur." Three more sketches of Rat King with various fisherman's nets draped over his robes Digitally colored versions of the previous sketches of Rat King A sketch of Rat King heavily obscured by shadows in a sewer system with a lone, warm light shining down through a grate above
