An artist. But also a musician. It really just depends on the day.
Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite

A very intense read that may be a bit too much to stomach for the overtly empathetic and those with weaker constitutions. Masterfully written within its context overflowing a well of despair and bile.

Hemwick really is such a big ass cat when you see him like this.

Decided this is my go-to. It never steers me wrong.

Years ago I did a little sketch of the Imp from DOOM 2016. Long after that I decided to give him digital life!

I’ve also got a cacodemon sketch. Should I give that the same treatment?

Tonight’s glass is filled with a Canadian whisky called “Legacy”. Pretty smooth, all things considered. Would be dangerous in a mixed drink ‘cause you’d hardly be able to tell.

Rooted in classical expression, my paintings also look to the future. They gaze out upon the world we live in, but also inward, to the worlds we only see in our dreams, memories, and imagination.

Can’t remember if I ever posted my first digital self portrait. Well, here it is with a couple backgrounds anyway. Hopefully I’ve improved on the next one I do!

Getting older I’ve started getting more into whiskey. May even call me a connoisseur, or becoming one.

Especially since cannabis is no longer safe for me. 🥲

Just finished @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social’s Veniss Underground. As a former SFX artist, this world seems like a dream to take on with practical effects.

Reading Balzac’s War at the end has made me want to try my hand at sketching Jamie/Flesh hound too… so maybe that’ll happen soon.

How anyone can see this as anything but a nazi salute is deliberately glib.

And fyi, the “Roman salute”, also known as the FASCIST salute was molded to become the nazi salute. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME.

Start training yourselves. Educate yourselves on basic combat and self-defense. If emotionally able, acquire and learn how to use a firearm.

Nocturne S2 had some incredibly tasty animation.

Drew up a turtle ship/sub for my wife’s DnD campaign.
His name’s Leonard.

Sketching digitally is still weird to me.

Made gyoza 🥟 for the first time tonight. First dumpling by hand actually. I’m no Japanese grandma, but I’d say these don’t look half bad! Now to taste them once cooked…

Usually when I post photos of myself it’s usually like my pfp or old modeling/spfx makeup photos of mine. But I figure I’d rather stick with who I am right now than just focusing on the past. So, here’s some proof of life!

A lesson I struggle to adhere to everyday.
Don’t let the desire to make “good” art stand in the way of making art.
Make bad art earnestly and joyfully. Pour your heart into poorly executed, derivative creations. And maybe it will end up “good” eventually or maybe it won’t, but either way you got to experience the magic of creating.

Working on developing concepts for a comic and I need femme neck and jaw references for my sketches. But man, what an awkward thing to request. 😅

Embarrassing how long I had to scroll to find more art I made. I really need to kick it back into gear! But I’m being kind to myself about it.
Made this when AI started getting big and stealing art.
It may not be my favorite as far as technique but it was born of strong emotion!

Dog eyebrows evolved due to our direct impact as humans on their domestication.

So now this 100lbs nugget can give me the puppy face without his eyes showing.

Rude. But also we love him so much.

A cauldron of witchy delights!

Kind of a departure from other stuff I’ve done, but I’ve been trying to work on styles I’m less familiar/comfortable with to broaden my abilities.

So more vibrant and cute stuff will pop up!
