MANSECT! | A Super 8 Special Effects Fantasy
YouTube video by Xenofauna

I don't think anyone currently following me hasn't seen this already but I'll make my first post my most recent short film. 99% analog filmmaking, shot on super 8mm film with all in-camera special effects.

Still thrilled with this piece, tbh. I had a friend who can print stuff for me for free blow it up to 2'x3' and I put it in a super ornate frame I had laying around and hung it in my entryway. 😂
A very goofy new poster I designed. Continuing to explore and refine techniques I started playing with on my recent Shin Godzilla and also a trial run for the DREAD PLANET poster I intend to make soon.

New GUY-GUN painting that I started a couple weeks ago but only just now finished this evening. Acrylic and ink on bristol, 8x6". Will likely put it up in my Ko-Fi shop eventually but if anyone wants to snipe this before then, feel free to DM me~

Currently struggling to survive as an artist with the ATL film industry tanking so hard over the last two years - my career in set dec is essentially dead. I'd really like to keep making my weird monster nonsense tho so any support folks can offer is hugely appreciated!! 💖

Evolution of my Posca works. 2022, 2023, and two from 2025, one with a solid yellow underpainting and another with a multicolor ink wash underpainting. Fun to look at a bunch of these in chronological order.

Cloud tank shenanigans yesterday with a great crew of friends for our Space Worm short, now titled DREAD PLANET. The titular planet was fabricated by me, airbrushed by Shane Morton. First time ever experimenting with these techniques and the shot turned out SO SICK.
LONG LIVE PRACTICAL EFFECTS.

Completed Shin Godzilla commission!! Main inspiration was the work of Yuji Murakami - my favorite Godzilla artist, like, ever - but then when I realized I needed to add in the cityscape to balance out the composition I turned to the Ohrai Godzilla '84 poster for reference. Love how this turned out.

I need you all to know how much I am completely obsessed with this movie. It completely rewired my brain chemistry and now I literally think about it daily. When we made the space worm short a couple weeks ago, all I was thinking about was this, Bava's other SciFi thing CALTIKI, and Super Metroid.
Director Mario Bava’s influential sci-horror thriller ‘Planet Of The Vampires’ (aka ‘The Demon Planet’ • ‘Terror In Space’) landed in theaters in Italy sixty years ago this week. 🚀🩸👩🏻🚀 #OTD
