#Digitalartist /39M Finland/Not your buddy, pal

I don't use AI in my art. I am broke as shit. I am a filthy, angry creature and I mind my own business.

Bluesky bad-faith tags everything I draw as porn, there's NO PORN HERE. NONE. EVER.

This image shows a rough-textured drawing of a small, fat, black pig sitting on the muddy ground in front of a barn door by torch light. On top of the pig's head is a large, opulent white wig woven through with red ribbons. The pig is facing away, looking back over her shoulder with wide, black eyes.

The image shows a blue-skinned giant in worm's eye perspective, with satiny blonde hair peering down at the viewer from a decorative frame that he holds in his clawed hands. He is muscular, but soft-bodied, and is covered in colorful, metallic, smoke-like tattoos. His nose appears flat and skeletal, and he has an eerie smile that displays huge, white, flat teeth.

Atom, my new OC with anatomical reference.
THIS IS NOT PORN.
THIS IS NOT PORN.
THIS IS NOT PORN. Nudity =/= porn. I'm really tired of it! Mods: If you can't stop presenting my anatomical work as pornography, I will STOP SHARING MY WORK and leave Bluesky. I don't need you, and you make me look bad.
This is a big reference sheet of Atom Shelley, the amazing nuclear man. The character is a clear nod to Mary Shelley's modern prometheus. The reference sheet goes on to explain his tiny personal reactor and the controls embedded in his arm with little diagrams, includes facts about his appearance and background in text that's too small to read in this version of the image. Atom himself appears as a nude amalgum of several bodies in various shades of brown sewn together to form into a singular simulacrum of a muscular male human. He has long hair in balding patches, vivid orange eyes, and a skeletal nose. His beautiful white teeth are visible in the cleft of his upper lip. Metallic fins protrude from his back as part of a cooling system for his reactor.

This creature is named A bept, and it can jump so far that it dies before it ever hits the ground
A detailed but generic looking drawing of a small black bat with pale ears and feet. It's drawn from dorsal view, and there is no background. It was drawn purely for the pleasure of drawing it, and it doesn't look accurate, aesthetically pleasing or particularly useful.

Cozy weather always makes me want to draw Franiel
A strange, troll-like man with tall pointed ears, a long tufted tail and long, clawed fingers rushes screaming at the camera with sharp teeth exposed. He's wearing a bent green witch's hat, a green scarf and tights, and a dark brown sweater with a pattern of ghosts on it. The background is an arrangement of star anise leaves and seeds, and large grey morel mushrooms.

Joonas the inky cap myco
A character drawing with no background of a mushroom man carrying a blue glowing lantern. He has a wide, frayed cap with an ominously glowing face and lots of black slime dripping from his alien, tubular body. His fingers and does are all misshapen and assymetrical. He wears a tattered, slime-slicked cape, and a pair of strange lavender tubers around what passes for a neck. His name is Joonas.

Marli Zorn
A large congregation of hundreds of rabbits bow, seemingly in prayer deep underground to a massive occult statue. The statue depicts a terrifying, two-headed, 10 armed rabbit goddess both in a state of decay, and of heavy pregnancy. In a center aisle, a large linear pile of dead rabbits has been collected by their kin and laid out before the statue, their blood collecting in channels that direct the flow to places unseen. From the bodies, skeletal specters of the fallen rabbits rise, drifting and distorting like smoke, collecting in a searing red "eye" that burns like a star at the statue's pinnacle. The energy of the slain rabbits builds as a red, angry glow within the statue, collecting. Eventually, the rabbits' dark goddess will be strong enough bring about some hideous end to the cruel hands that wrongfully murdered the rabbits for the crime of living. They pray for vengeance, for salvation, for destruction, and finally for peace.

Whew

Scary
This is the same image as before, but with the red tones much more balanced, reduced, and the color tones changed to match the luminosity of the tones beneath so it doesn't look so harsh.

Trusting the process reallllllll hard hhhhhhadfgfadgg
This image shows a close up of an older vampire with long, oily grey hair. He looks to be in his mid 50s to early 60s. His face is scribbled haphazardly with a garish red. It looks pretty bad. The artist is struggling to accept that this was the right choice since it looks pretty terrible right now, and trusts that it will look better in the coming steps once everything is blended and adjusted

#LAF

I draw a lot, but rarely post, as I am disconnected from community. Having artist friends again might encourage me to share more!

I draw OCs, creatures, and monsters. I use a lot of dark themes and I love vampires

This is a rough sketch of a vampire wearing a sinister smile seated in an intricately made chair in his boudoir. His legs are crossed at the knee. One clawed hand is rested in his lap. The other holds a lock of his long, dark hair close to his mouth, weaving it in and out of his fingers. He's looking straight at the viewer, possibly fantasizing about sucking you dry.

Yesterday I made a souffle from blood! I'm really proud of it.
Here's a link to the recipe:
www.tumblr.com/hategarden/7...
In this image, egg white is being stirred into a deep crimson substance. In this image, fluffy souffle batter is being carefully spooned into a pan dredged in margarine and sugar. It's an alarming red color and looks hideous. This is the final image of the prepared blood souffle. It's pitted surface is perfect and flaky, the color a rich brown that could be mistaken for chocolate. Here is a slice of the souffle, plated on a large, shiny, octagonal plate. It's accompanied by a cube of vanilla ice cream, a scoop of chocolate mousse stracciatella, and ribbons of strawberry jam. A fork and knife wait patiently nearby.

The cosmic muffin of friendship. (Safe for work)
In this image, a large blueberry muffin floats through space. The surface is lavender and covered in sugar with little sprinkles of gold colored stars. Large, star-shaped blueberries protrude from it, and the muffin is encircled by a saturn-like ring of pink and blue. It glows vividly amidsts scattered sugar and a lost blueberry-star that drift away into colorful nebulas and pretend constellations. Riding atop this muffin is a little purple bat. Its eyes are shining and its blueberry-stained mouth is open wide as if in wonder. Bits of sugar cling to the bat as it rides the muffin into space, hoping to reach someone some day. There is a deeper meaning behind this image which the artist has decided not to share.

A bird... Sort of... (My addition is safe for work)
A strange, birdlike creature with green, striped stork legs that fade to black at their four-toed feet. It has a long, felxible saurian tail ending in an extravagant tuft of shimmering black feathers. Bony, birdlike fingers protrude from the alula of scraggly black wings. Its stout body has a large avian breast, the feathers stained a brilliant shade of pink at the base of its green-striped, long and naked-fronted neck. A mane of feathers culminates in a hair-like crown above four batlike ears and a face that is difficult to describe. Its eye is round and wild green, with thick petal-like lashes. Instead of a beak, it has a bizarre and unique arrangement of humanoid nose and chin, as if they *tried* to become a beak and changed their mind halfway through. Between the long, spear-like nose and chin there is a mouth with lips too thin to cover the teeth, which are sharp and jagged. This creature's name is Don't Worry About It.

6/6
The text reads: "I feel gratitude that I was given a second chance by this tough little plant to be a better version of myself for it, nurture it the way I intended to, and to practice being the version of me that I want to be." The final image, a strip of cartoon dirt. 7 little green lettuce sprouts grow from the soil of next year, each one with a determined and grouchy little face drawn on it. There is pink handwriting that says "Don't be afraid to grow, assface" A final text at the bottom says: "I'll try again."

Comic strip panel 5/6. The text reads: "Sometimes, even when we try our best to be good to those around us and never leave them to suffer alone, we can't always be there for them and that doesn't define who we are or what we want. " The next drawing is of the little cartoon gardener, on the same balcony drawing as in the first panel, clutching the jar of lettuce branches dearly. He is still a little tearful and sweating with relief. The plant looks even more determined and vengeful than before!

4/6
comic strip panel 4/6. The text reads: "It even made some primordial roots to venture forth and seek moisture, even extracting it right out of the air humidity! By sheer force of will, the plant survived. I trimmed off the dead material and brought the plant inside, into a sunny window in my kitchen. " The accompanying drawing is of a cartoonish jar with transparent glass and water, and the now-trimmed-up lettuce branches. They have little faces drawn onto them, scowling with resolve to grow and possibly with a hint of resentment. The sun shines down on the sparkling jar, which rests on an invisible plane in front of a blue-sky background.

3/6
comic strip panel 3/6. The text reads: "It was a motha fuckin lettuce branch growing out from the side of the dead lettuce!" The next drawing is similar to the previous one, with some changes. The 'weeds' are now revealed, lifted out of the box to show them growing side by side on the dead branch. The comical facial expression has changed in the background from sadness to one of delight and surprise, but still out of focus.

2/6
panel 2/6 of the cartoon comic strip. The text reads: "While I was cutting I noticed a weed and went to inspect it to find out what sort of visitor thought it would be a good idea to germinate in this god forsaken place" The image shows a close up of the planting box with the shriveled lettuce. Some small green plants are peeking above the rim of the black plastic planting box. In the background you can see a blurry, out-of-focus yet comical drawing of the gardener's exaggerated tearful face, crooked teeth and baggy eyes visible as he squints at the so-called weeds.
