Traveler ship interior #art #conceptart #specart
A drawing of a scene looking out the hexagonal viewport of a spaceship, we see a medieval castle of grey stone in a picturesque environment at midday, surrounded by woods and green fields with purple white-capped mountains in the distance behind, at an upside-down diagonal angle, due to the position of the ship. A winding road leads to the closed gate of the castle, which must open to allow passage over the moat. A cart filled with wire is approaching the castle via the road, pulled by an ox and driven by a man in a burgundy coat and yellow hat. In the field in front of the castle, a strange elongated featureless grey creature has just chopped down another tree, having felled several previously, the tracks of which can be seen in the grass. Inside the spaceship, around the viewport, are four people, two standing on small rounded platforms but two other at strange angles, one apparently standing on the ceiling, with an upside-down bowl of apples beside them, and another whose head is jutting in from the left, as though they're standing on the wall. The people are wearing bright one-piece jump suits and yellow shoes, and are holding their hands out as though using invisible keyboards. The spaceship has bright orange carpeting and tan paneled walls with yellow, orange, and brown stripes running along it, leading to the viewport. In the center of the room is a large semi-spherical map showing landmasses and bodies of water in the local area, above which is suspended a transparent crystal of pastel colors, pointing down at the map.

Gravos Henj Is the Subaqueous Detective Agency #art #specart #drawing
A pencil drawing on a white background of a beaked, bulbous-headed mollusk with crab-like eyes holding a knotted skein of cord in his tentacles, examining it. The creature is wearing some kind of cap with wide perforations on his head and around his eyes, as well as fronds of seaweed underneath his belly. He seems to have four thicker tentacle arms emanating from his body and two thin ones attached above his beak, as well as two antennae directly below his eyes. In his beak, and held by one of the thinner tentacles, is some kind of cigarette-like device, with several crooked bends in it, billowing "smoke" which is falling to the ground, partially obscuring a jagged, hole-gripped knife held in another tentacle. Above this, another tentacle is holding a stoppered phial of liquid, and in another tentacle, above his head, a mesh bag full of stones. The creature holds these objects with sharp claws at the end of its tentacles, and seems to have gills on the side of its head, underneath its cap. Its beak has a few deep scratches on it. Around the creature, in a circular pattern are the words THE SUBAQUEOUS DETECTIVE AGENCY.

Vampire pope #art #politicalart #catholic #catholicism #ratzinger
A pencil drawing on a white background of a kneeling pope, clutching a dead rat in his hands, about to consume it, his fang-baring mouth ravenously agape. The pope's face is creased with deep wrinkles, and his glassy eyes sunkenly set. He wears a vampirically-high-collared cloak, which flows out on the ground behind him, a simple skullcap, and an upside-down pentagram around his neck, and below that an upside-down cross. Inspired by ratzinger ofc

Omnifex #art #comicbookart #characterdesign
Omnifex (name meaning: maker of everything) appears as a sexless humanoid with four arms, connected at the elbows, and four legs, connected at the knees, and four feathery wings behind their back, two above the shoulders and two below the waist, with a few notes surrounding them, explaining what they're holding in their four hands (described below), all on an off-white background. Their appearance is loosely based on the venomous sea slug Glaucus Atlanticus aka the blue sea dragon, with long stripey blue markings of various shades running the length of their body over a white base, with more detailed streaky patterns around the knees and shoulder. Unlike Glaucus Atlanticus, there is a tuft of white fur on their chest, just under the supersternal notch, and Omnifex also has four slightly curved horns atop their head, two longer on the outside and two smaller on the inside, and two orange trifurcated eyes on the side of their head, somewhat fly-like, though not compound. Their right cheek is full as they chomp on a sandwich in their upper right hand they've just taken a bite of which is labeled "turkey and swiss on rye," and looks to be marble rye. Below the sandwich, in their other right hand, they're holding the "infinite sickle," brightly colored in pink and purple galaxy star patterns, which seems to be infinitely fractally folding in on itself in smaller and smaller versions. It is described as being able to "bring forth ANYTHING or ANYONE from any time or reality. In their upper left hand, they're holding the "flame of absolution," which "can completely dissolve any living thing and erase them from living memory." It actually floats above their hand, and is brightly glowing with purple, pink, yellow, and blue hues. Below, in their other left hand, they're holding an opened red and gold can of "diet cola, caffeine-free." The overall impression is of a being with terrifying powers but prosaic tastes. I design a new character every day.

E-Musk 2100 #resistanceart #art #elonmusk #melonhusk #tesla
A bloated torso atop spindly legs, surrounded by scrawled text explaining his various features, E-Musk 2100 has beady, sunken yellow eyes and a maniacal smile, drooling. His skull-like features are topped by thin, greasy, wild hair. He has various mechanical features apart from the legs, including a metal cranial implant which is programmed to eliminate the need for thought, on his shoulder an "insectoid robot" providing a continuous drip of concentrated child's blood, a large "underperforming battery" with the Tesla logo on it in the center of his chest, with the indicator at low orange, and metal "cyber coils" for forearms. There's also a tube running from his chest to his neck, he's wearing a ketamine + nootropic patch on his left upper arm, and his "preserved gonads" are "on display," suspended underneath his torso in a glass container full of greenish liquid. He's also wearing a partly filled colostomy bag. His torso is marked purple veins. Other notes specify that he is "vulnerable to rain and cold" and that the "fully self-driving" legs "require torso driver to monitor legs at all times." It's also noted that he has a "winning smile." Overall, here we see a terrifying vision of Melon Husk's ideal and future self.

Hester Prime (uncensored) #art
The image shows Hester Prime, a time-traveling, cyborg version of Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, who was transported to the year 2061 after making contact with an eldritch deity through witchcraft. The image is black and white line art with a red scarlet letter A on Hester's chest and a spatter of red blood on the ground and her boots around a man lying on the ground whose head she's stomped on and completely flattened. Hester is standing confidently, gazing at the viewer, as her ragged cloak and wild hair whip in the wind behind her. She is casually holding across her hip a massive, odd-looking rifle with a wooden bolt and curved, fringe pincers at its nose. She wears a witch's peaked hat on her head, and her cloak has a large upturned, trenchcoat-like collar. Her right eye and had have been replaced with cybernetic versions, her hand a skeleton-like claw and the boxy eye implant having wires which extend over her forehead above it. In her mouth she is chewing a wheat stalk, which is bending in the wind. The man on the ground is wearing a nice watch and clawing the ground, bits of brain, skull, teeth, and an eyeball being scattered around where his head used to be. Around Hester in a scratchy scrawl are written two Hawthorne quotations from the book, "She had returned, therefore, and resumed - of her own free will, resumed the SYMBOL," and "They said it meant ABLE, so strong was she with a WOMAN'S STRENGTH."

Crusaders
Aliens invaded Earth in the 12th Century, and you can see the results here. These are runaway teenager "lizard people" who more resemble insects in much of their eusocial behavior and disjointed life cycle, and the unfortunate knights who met them were trying to find the 4th attempted Reconquista of Rome. This despite House Serpentis and the Apostolic Church having just signed a historic detente at the Vatican in Avignon. Girls will be girls!
