Hi, I'm Flail! I'm currently working on a long-form project with the working title Inhospitable as well as a shorter project I'm publishing this month called Beauveria bassiana. I also post about horror books I read and horror movies I watch.

A macrophoto of a purple Conehead Praying Mantis standing on the stem of a purple Crupina flower bud. The color of the insect helps it easily camoflauge in nature against predators.

an illustration mostly in shades of bright pink and dark teal of a woman running past a mirror, a candelabra in one hand and a knife in the other. one of her eyes is covered by the candle flames, and the other is the same bright red as the flame. a shadowy figure stands directly behind her.

Transcore.

New duo of images for y'all. Really just wanted to focus on transgender identity using some fun glitch art techniques.

The building was designed by Frank Gehry. It has a 75-foot ceiling with 199 windows. Every window is a different size or shape.

Some day I’ll do lineart again. This is Dimitri, slumped over and clinging to a gravestone. One hand is clasped over his cheek where a glowing radiant burn arcs across his face. His glasses are broken, obscuring one eye which was in direct path of the burn. His expression is dejected and mournful rather than pained.
