HER HUSBAND’S CROWN 👑

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown

But a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones

But a crown is still just an ornament

In my upcoming puzzle game, you’ll interact with strange and sinister circus performers to learn the secrets at the heart of the circus, or be left at the mercy of the mysterious Ringmaster. 🎪🤹🏼‍♀️

A screenshot of a video game showing a scene of a circus. There are 5 circus acts: acrobats, a strongwoman, a knife juggler, a snake charmer, and a puppeteer. The audience is empty and the performers are rehearsing their acts.

Sketchbook page, five comic book style panels in ink pen, which are based on movie screenshots from Mike Flanagan's cinematic universe. 1. A play room, dimly lit from light filtering through the windows of an old mansion. A girl plays with her dolls and wooden horses, while a woman sews in the background. 2. A rose bush with a single bloom, and thorny branches 3. Some boys playing together in an old shed, with kids drawings plastered on the walls. An old trunk, tricycle, and other random knickknacks are seen in background 4. The mansion from before, seen from a distance. The impression of grass is lightly detailed with a thin line. 5. The woman from before, stands above the camera, expressionless, and imposing. The ruffles on her dress are in sharp contrast from the lighting.

She fades from 3-dimensional into an illustration on what appears to be parchment. A black parakeet is taking off from her hand. A small, styalized signature is in the corner.

My art in the wild!

My neighbor left out some chalk so I interrupted my run and tried to draw a seahorse. I think it might look more like a really messed up duck

But yeah if you want to have some neighborly fun leave out some chalk and see what happens

A wild woman, nymph of the jungle, crouches perched in the branches of a tree. She is surrounded by wild plants growing off the branches. A wild orchid with soft pink petals blooms near the top. Beams of sunlight filter through the canopy, draped with wines and floating specs of dust that hang in the air. Two illustrations with a text description: 1. A pixie trying to tame a wild bee. Her hair is frazzled and her eyes are widened as she grabs onto it's fur with her fists. 2. Some acorn houses attached with twine to a fern. One has a tiny table and chairs, the other has a tiny recliner Text reads: A hollowed out acorn is just the perfect size to make a cozy home for a tiny guardian of the forest. Despite being miniscule in stature, pixies are intrepid warriors and mischievous pranksters with a slightly twisted sense of humor. They care for every living thing in their verdant domain, even devising clever contraptions to help young trees grow up straight and tall. They befriend the birds, squirrels and other small wildlife, bartering with nuts seeds and berries in exchange for rides around the forest. And be warned! If your manners are disrespectful and your behavior destructive, they will call upon those furry and feathered allies to teach you a lesson with a hail of acorns and pebbles. They will steal your gear while you sleep, warn the wildlife of your traps, and tie your shoelaces to trip you up. But if you are kind to the animals and gentle with the plant life, you may eventually be lucky enough to gain their trust that they subtly reveal themselves to you. There are no shortcuts to this, you must truly show yourself to be a mindful guest, heedful and unselfish in your treatment of their forest. Because unless you know exactly where and what you're looking for, you'll never find them. [Pixel art image set on a black screen, with story text below it] A nondescript house next to a back road surrounded by some evergreen trees, the bright night sky lighting up the road and red wood paneling and shingles of the roof. The text at the bottom reads: “He walked, one heavy foot in front of the other, through the quiet whisper of the rainfall. The scattered moonlight gleamed off every trembling leaf, and the serenity of it all helped him to forget. NEARLY forget. But he was finally here. And it was time to make THEM remember.” A young girl holds up a cupcake with a tiny castle to her little pet dragon, who lights the candles for her. She has an intricate elven circlet of silver woven into a heart shape on her forehead. Her mouth is agape in surprise and delight.

Uploading a few of my favorite pieces for #PortfolioDay

I create digital art and I focus primarily on creating #horrorart in a painterly style. I draw inspiration from folklore, psychosis, feminine horror, and body horror

#art #artist #digitalartist #horror #horrorartist #fantasyart #bodyhorror
A collage of 5 digital paintings. The first is of a set of conjoined twins receiving surgery and surrounded by flowers. The second is a group of emaciated, indistinct figures surrounding a small child. The third is a painting of a stained glass window with flowers and two people. The fourth is a painting of a woman in a silk dress and fur coat. Her face is bruised. The fifth is a painting of a man whose chest, abdomen, and limbs have been dissected and many bones removed. He is restrained to a table and his anatomy is connected to several tubes.

Practicing my fundamentals with pixel art still life

#art #artstudy #stilllife #naturemort #pixelart #ドット絵
Pixel art still life. Luscious red grapes drape out of a ceramic white pitcher. A green pear in front of the pitcher creates a pleasingly organic composition. The scene is set in front of a cherry wood panel background with deep reddish tones. The highlights on the pitcher are pale mint green to create visual interest. The palette on the right was used to pick colors for the image, palette is "Sunset" from Lospec.com Two small still life studies. On the left, some shiny red onions in a variety of pink and red tones. One is cut open, reveling the pixelated suggestion of layers inside. On the right, a broken glass with shards surrounding it. The tones are a mix of pinks purples and blues, with beige to suggest transparent areas, and orange used sparingly for highlights.
