have the audacity to pick up projects you havent touched in a year and just figure it out
a crochet blanket I was working on last year using a a multicoloured yarn using the shell stitch. I started free-styling on some parts to add accents but counting the stitching and evaluating the chain type has allowed me to pick up where i left off

Happy Halloween!!!! If you're looking for a short body-horror scare may I direct you to my horror comic Dissection! You can give a read in the thread below!
Panel from my horror comic Dissection. The panel shows a mass of goop forming in the center of the room. Limbs from students bodies and are being pulled into its core while heads explode around it. The lettering reads out " -be afraid-".

QRP with your dark art
Black and white ink drawing of hands covered in boils clawing at a distorted, horrific face. On the left hand side the nose and mouth take on a mummified look, the mouth trails into skin being torn in half, forming the facsimile of a smile that leads up to the right eye. The right eye is surrounded by a blanket of loose skin being pulled in multiple directions by the hands-- fingers holding the eye socket open and the eye ball completely exposed. the placement and perspective of the facial features are irrespective of each other. The illustration is inked using micron pens. A black and white illustration created using micron pens. In the center of the page is a malformed eye, surrounded by a sea of writhing tendrils, with two other eyes -that once belonged to the masks- hidden within the entwined mass. The tendrils hold two half-broken masks moulded to the face of a young adult on each of its sides. The tendrils create the illusion of a fringe on the top of the face where it holds the masks in place, more tendrils crawling out of the eye hole on the left mask, and the eye and nose of the right mask. One of the mask’s mouths is gauzed shut while the other remains open. The piece uses stippling and hatching to create depth and texture in the drawing. Black and white ink illustration. The illustration is of a woman posing for a portrait. Her body is in the profile view while her head is turned towards us. She is wearing a billowy dress with puffy sleeves with a corset over the top. Her face is blank, devoid of any features besides a faded terrifying looking face, and is holding her arms behind her back. She stands in front of a windowsill looking out on some rose bushes, forest, and the night sky. Black and white traditional illustration of a Victorian style portrait. The woman seems to be sitting in the interior of a submarine. She sits patiently, with her hands folded on her lap. She is wearing an intricate dress with a long collar that extends up her unnaturally elongated neck. where a person’s face should be is the distorted features of an angler fish with long finger-like teeth. Her dark hair appears wet as it drapes along her neck and shoulders, down and out of view. The illustration is made with micron pens on paper.

finally getting to work on this bad boy again
Photo of a sketchbook page with the beginnings of an ink drawing. In the center of the page is a malformed eye, surrounded by a sea of writhing tendrils, with two other eyes hidden within the entwined mass. The tendrils hold two half-broken masks moulded to the face of a young adult on each of its sides. The tendrils create the illusion of a fringe on the top of the face where it holds the masks in place, more tendrils crawling out of the the eye hole on the left mask, and the eye and nose of the right mask. One of the mask’s mouths is gauzed shut while the other remains open. I have finished the line art and have started filling in the black shadows and the stipple that runs across the seam of the broken masks to the mass of tendrils.

just me and my 005 mm micron against the world (this took 2 hours 😭)
A drawing of writhing tendrils between two broken masks is slowly being inked with a 005 mm micron pen. The hatching is creating volume and depth to the drawing.

drawing of a bunch of tendrils writhing around an eye. I’m adding some hatching to the tendrils to give them volume.

Black and white traditional illustration of a Victorian style portrait. The woman seems to be sitting in the interior of a submarine. She sits patiently, with her hands folded on her lap. She is wearing an intricate dress with a long collar that extends up her unnaturally elongated neck. where a person’s face should be is the distorted features of an angler fish with long finger-like teeth. Her dark hair appears wet as it drapes along her neck and shoulders, down and out of view. The illustration is made with micron pens on paper. Black and white ink illustration of a woman wearing a flowy, backless historic dress. Her head is crooned to peek over her shoulder, however the frame cuts off the woman’s face just below her eyes. The edges of the photograph are burnt to a crisp. along her spine her skin has opened up like a mouth. long sharp teeth jut out from the bunched skin and a long split tongue extends outwards and wriggles towards the bottom of the page. Black and white ink illustration. The illustration is of a woman posing for a portrait. Her body is in the profile view while her head is turned towards us. She is wearing a billowy dress with puffy sleeves with a corset over the top. Her face is blank, devoid of any features besides a faded terrifying looking face, and is holding her arms behind her back. She stands in front of a windowsill looking out on some rose bushes, forest, and the night sky. Black and white ink drawing of a heavily stylised man half morphed into a deep sea creature from the neck up. He stands slightly hunched with one arm strictly behind his back and the other holding a shovel. His tie is loose and his button up shirt hangs on by two buttons, pulling taut over his pudge stomach and is half-hazardly shoved into his pants. The pants pockets are turned inside out. The fish man stands in front of a short fence that leads into a dark field. hatching is used to create depth on the face and clothing, stippling used to create shadows on the mouth, eyes and background. I wanted the night air to be sizzling with an ominous energy and dense stippling has always given me the impression of swarms of flies. I inverted the inked stipples to convey the darkness of the night but retain the haziness of the encounter through the white stippling.
