perfect birthday morning 🌅 Vinny is sooo happy it's cold enough for me to sit on the balcony with him.
Nate sits on the balcony with their orange cat, Vinny, in their lap, snuggling against their chin like his life depends on it Nate sits in the balcony with his orange cat, Vinny, in his lap. They have their eyes closed and faces pressed together because they love each other

QRP with dark art 🕯️

an older one, but I still love it 🩸
an emaciated figure sits exhausted on the floor, supported by two arms sprouting from its back. Another arm holds a red candle that drips wax like blood; a fourth arm emerges from its face, holding the mask it just removed.

Gaze: a humanoid figure floats in the center of the page; they have four sets of arms extending from their shoulders and sides and one arm growing from their groin, reaching forwards, with an eye on each palm. The top two arms cover the face, wishing to see but not be seen. Parse: a headless figure ponders a red circle and a stream of red paint on opposite sides of the page. The figure has one right arm but four left arms that reach up and over itself, dipping its fingers in the stream. Sift: a figure sits cross legged in the center of the page. Their torso is elongated and sprouts many sets of arms, all bent at the elbows as if almost in prayer. Their face is a black void, and dots of ink spill out of it like sand, straight down between their open hands and through their legs to the bottom of the page. Among the dots is a single grain of red sand. Collapse: an angelic figure with four wings and many overlapping arms and legs. They seem to be pulled to narrow point at their waist, as if collapsing into their own gravity. Many eyes are placed around their face and torso, in the wrong places

A guy looks out a window where fire is blazing, and says "for the love of everything fraggable! it's farkin' hot in here!" a pink dumpster with the phrase "Barbie Dream Dumpster" stenciled on the side A meme with top text that reads: "sorry I've gotta cancel our plans today", and bottom text that reads "introverts:" followed by an image of a man who is stoic on the outside but smiling on the inside A meme with a low quality image of an animated shepherd man, with text that reads "when I hit the vow of silence pen and go nonverbal"

Three finished works and a WIP!
Anyone who sees this, join in!

Also do I get a bonus for picking four different mediums ?

A cascade of red drips down the left side of the page; a red circle floats on the right side. Art nouveau style illustration of the god of earth and stone, Vivacia. She is a stately figure made of grey stone, with hair that looks like veins of iron, and a waterfall flowing from her palm Acrylic painting of a human figure with a sunflower head; the center of the sunflower is covered in eyes. The figure wears a large cape made of sunflowers, and bright red stems grow around them and from the ground Close-up of a WIP done with ink and markers, depicting a mysterious creature with many hands and a strange golden structure
