He/Him. AroAce. 20-something. Canadian physics student. People = Shit.

Expect both art and ramblings about astronomy, music, and whatever I enjoy.

Weirdos will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

I suppose I'll explain my sudden manifestation from the ether.

I'm RealmsOfTheDark on ArtFight. Go there for examples of art I've made, but I'll likely post here too when I have time.

Be forewarned, my work can sometimes go into cosmic horror and blood/gore, so if you don't like that, steer clear.
(CW: Bloody/Gory)

Some gritty shit that I ended up drawing from having old school horrorcore on loop.

Pretty crucial scene in my lore, to be TL:DR; about it.

Small take on Luna Tenebris from #TheDragonPrince after I watched the whole thing before starting grad school. Love the show but man I wish Luna had a more involved appearance. What a design.

Moved into my office today, and thus the semester is underway. Still wrapping my head around the fact that it's actually happening.

And that's a wrap-up on #ArtFight for this year! Feels really nice to hit the 50 attack mark, get the 150 Attacks! Achievement, and progress in my art skills a bit because of it.

With that here is my belated card for ArtFight. Decided on Team Crystals. Featured characters are from left to right: Colt, Natint, Aquis, Iudex, and Garrison.

Name is RealmsOfTheDark if you want to find me. Link is in the bio too.

Four references for the humanoid forms of my characters, hastily done in preparation for ArtFight. Dragon forms to come very soon.

Small tidbit: They are part of a cosmic dragon race in my character lore.

Kind of in the middle about the theme for this year's ArtFight. Might go with Crystals because of time crystals in quantum mechanics/condensed matter physics, but no certainty to that decision.

#Pride Month felt like an appropriate time to have a bit of a redo of my profile, put it more in line with my sona and whatnot.

A special shoutout to my fellow aroace people and everyone on the ace and aro spectrum. You all deserve a good month and a good life.

As the month of #artfight is upon us, I would like to share my profile in advance. I hope within the next little bit of time to add some more of my characters onto the roster so be on the lookout for them. In the meantime: artfight.net/~RealmsOfThe...

Recently watched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (quite enjoyed it), and it inspired me to do this drawover/scene study (?) of my Doom/Quake character Garrison in the same pose (while in the depths of Hell of course) as young Masbath during one scene.

"The old flesh is dead. Long live the new flesh."

An older piece of #art that I made of Colt from last year, but I hold it as one of my personal favorites so I'm showing it here.

An abstract depiction of his rebirth as an android if you'd like.

Going to fit it into my bio when I can, but I made a #carrd for those who want to check it out.

Welcome to my astral abode.
Just a funny little thing for myself.

I've just been processing the fact that I have finished undergrad, and have thus graduated.
Grad school will be interesting when the fall comes around.

Introducing another character of mine, Malcolm, through a nod to Mr. Bungle's debut album based on this dude's internal turmoil.

Why Mr. Bungle? Because I think they're a good band.

Drawing of Colt posed like Tim Eiermann from that one photo of Pyogenesis that I have, because I can.

(CW: Cosmic Horror)

Art that I drew for my senior research project this semester for fun, since it was about Jupiter's moon Europa and the elasticity of its ice shell.

Take it as a reminder why we shouldn't go past the ice shell if we land on it (joking).

I've been busy with academic obligations, so in the meantime, accept this meme image I made with the #zubeia rig done by Paul1748, available on their Gumroad for free.

Being a dragon nerd, the designs of Zubeia and the Archdragons from #thedragonprince has been growing on me in recent months.

A small thread of brief bios for each character featured here. Open to read 'em.

(CW: Blood, body horror, eldritch imagery.)

Recent artpiece I completed of a few of my eldritch characters. Their names are: Hylkaeth (top left), Verx (top right), and Cithar (bottom). May make a thread about them soon.

Introduce yourself with 4 records:

Admittedly, it was hard to narrow down the list, but these are my picks. At least, my foundational choices.

Anathema - The Silent Enigma (1995)
Pyogenesis - Ignis Creatio (a.k.a. self-titled) (1992)
Trouble - S/T (1990)
Fear Factory - Soul of a New Machine (1992)

A drawing of my persona in the meantime (the humanoid form anyways).

Who this is:

This is Colt Blazkovich, an astrophysicist born a human but brought back from certain death as an android with superhuman resilience and strength. While driven to protect those more vulnerable, his methods can be violent and intense, being very jaded.

First little bit of art for this account I suppose. Did it as a little break from the week's workload. This one's of my android character.
