Dancer on the Roof
The image titled **"Dancer on the Roof"** presents an eerie nighttime scene in black and white. A large building facade displays the number **"300"** in bold numerals, set against a smooth, slightly weathered concrete wall. The scene is dimly illuminated by a tall streetlamp positioned to the right, casting a bright, halo-like glow and creating sharp contrasts between light and shadow. Above the building, an ominous, shadowy figure looms, partially emerging from behind the roofline. The figure, referred to as the "Dancer," appears to have an elongated, skeletal form with unnaturally long arms and twisted, branch-like fingers that stretch into the night sky. Its head is vaguely humanoid but distorted, with hollow, dark eye sockets and a wide, unsettling grin faintly visible. The texture of its body resembles twisted roots or decayed sinew, giving it an organic yet nightmarish appearance. The streetlamp casts harsh light, emphasizing the sharp contrast between the illuminated building facade and the oppressive darkness above, where the creature resides. A faint outline of tree branches is visible on the far right side of the frame, adding an additional layer of unsettling atmosphere. The composition is balanced, with the bright streetlamp and the bold "300" anchoring the lower half of the image, while the creature dominates the upper portion, lurking ominously over the edge. The combination of stark lighting, the grotesque figure, and the empty urban environment creates an unnerving, liminal horror aesthetic.

mom's house
The image shows a dimly lit interior of a house, evoking an eerie atmosphere. On the left side, a wooden staircase with a railing leads upward into darkness, partially illuminated by faint light. In the center, a framed picture hangs on the wall above a small decorative table. On the table sits a vase holding a single red flower, which stands out against the shadowy surroundings. To the right, an archway opens into another room, where a faint, unsettling humanoid figure seems to stand, partially obscured by shadows. The figure appears elongated and ghostly, blending with the dim light filtering through the arch. In the bottom right corner, a dark upholstered chair is partially visible, its details obscured by the surrounding darkness. The scene is steeped in a sense of quiet unease, with the interplay of shadows and faint light creating a haunting and mysterious ambiance.

Research Journal Entry 12/16/2009
3:47 AM
Forest clearing. Humanoid form visible in low temp mist, fluctuating at 8 Hz. No thermal output. Proportions defy anatomical norms; limbs elongate on review. Instrumentation fails near it. Conclusion: atmospheric interaction... But why does it watch?
The image shows a haunting digital paint draw-over of a real photo set in a dark, eerie wooded area, possibly during nighttime or twilight. The background consists of shadowy trees, bare and leafless, and a snow-covered ground in the foreground, suggesting a winter setting. In the center of the image, an ominous and ghostly figure has been drawn over the photo. The figure appears translucent, as though it is fading or emerging into the scene. It has a vaguely humanoid form with an elongated body and spindly limbs that stretch downward like clawed or skeletal appendages. Its upper torso is somewhat foggy and undefined, adding to its spectral appearance. The head of the figure is particularly unsettling, featuring hollow or dark eye sockets and a slightly open mouth, giving it an otherworldly and expressionless demeanor. The overall design evokes a sense of dread, resembling something supernatural, like a ghost or spirit lurking in the cold darkness of the woods. The ethereal and wraith-like form blends seamlessly with the misty environment, creating a haunting and surreal atmosphere.

for the lack of content, here's some little digital paintings from a few years back
The first painting, titled "Thundercat - Them Changes," showcases a samurai-like warrior in dynamic armor, primarily in red and gold, holding a katana. The helmet and face mask obscure most of the facial details, focusing on a fierce, intense pose. The black background contrasts sharply with the bright colors of the armor, creating a dramatic and bold visual. The title of the song is handwritten in the top right corner, accentuating its thematic connection. The second painting, inspired by "Godzilla Against Mothra," features a man wearing a white shirt and a traditional hachimaki headband with a spotted pattern. He holds the head of a black Godzilla-like creature, which is partially visible, with stylized Japanese text in red spelling "Mothra" and "Godzilla" alongside the English title. The background is beige, lending it a vintage poster-like aesthetic. The third painting titled "Joji - Glimpse of Us" depicts a figure sitting on a dark, indistinct ground, leaning forward with their head bowed. They wear a red shirt with a white number "1" prominently displayed on the back, alongside black pants and sneakers. The composition uses muted tones, emphasizing somber emotion and solitude.

old skull sketches
This digital sketch is a collage of various unsettling, surreal, and exaggerated faces and skull-like figures, rendered in rough, expressive black linework on a white background. The figures vary in size, style, and detail, creating a chaotic and crowded composition. The dominant figure on the right is a large skull with intense spiral-like eyes and sharp, uneven teeth, taking up a significant portion of the canvas. Surrounding this central figure are numerous smaller faces and headshots, each with distinct characteristics: - Some appear skeletal, with hollow eye sockets and grinning teeth. - Others resemble stretched or melted humanoid faces with bulging eyes and sinister grins. - A few figures have unique features, such as exaggerated circular eyes, hats, or surreal textures on their faces. The arrangement feels erratic, with figures overlapping or scattered across the canvas, contributing to an unsettling, frenetic energy. Text such as "Sad Skele," "OH COOL," and "I LOVE COKE" is incorporated into the design, further adding to the chaotic and offbeat mood of the piece. The overall aesthetic is raw, nightmarish, and deliberately unsettling, evoking an eerie, chaotic dreamscape.

CircleTriangleTriangle
The digital drawing titled "CircleTriangleTriangle" presents a stark, minimalistic, and abstract design using primarily white lines on a black background. At the center is a humanoid figure with a rough, textured, and distorted facial structure. The face features hollow, spiraled eyes and a jagged, grimacing mouth, giving it an unsettling and surreal appearance. The head extends upward into abstract marks and strokes, blending with the surrounding space. Geometric shapes dominate the background, providing a contrasting framework to the organic chaos of the central figure. On the left is a roughly sketched circle, intersected by a horizontal line. To the right of the face are two overlapping triangles, slightly skewed and imbalanced. The alignment of the shapes evokes a sense of asymmetry and disarray, enhancing the eerie, chaotic mood of the composition. The overall aesthetic is raw and expressionistic, with the linework appearing purposefully rough and spontaneous, amplifying the unnerving tone of the artwork. The inclusion of the title "CircleTriangleTriangle" in the viewer's interpretation further emphasizes the geometric elements while contrasting with the distorted, organic nature of the central figure.

Fairy II
The digital painting titled "Fairy II" presents a surreal and ethereal figure that blends elements of minimalism with a bold use of color. The figure, rendered in vibrant hues of green and pink, sits in a relaxed, almost dreamlike pose against a dark, gradient background transitioning from black at the bottom to deep purple at the top. The figure's body is smooth and fluid, with soft contours that emphasize their elegance and otherworldly nature. Their form is abstracted, with no distinct facial features except for a single glowing white eye, which draws immediate attention and adds an enigmatic, haunting quality. A luminous golden halo floats behind the figure’s head, radiating a soft glow that contrasts against the darker background, further enhancing their celestial or mystical identity. The figure's pose is casual yet poised, with one arm extended forward, adorned with swirling golden rings of energy or light that appear to coil around it, adding a dynamic, magical element. The other arm supports their weight as they lean slightly backward, their legs stretched out with a natural curve, creating a sense of balance and grace. The use of neon pink and green on the figure contrasts starkly with the dark background, making them appear almost luminous. The vibrant colors, combined with the glowing halo and golden spirals, create a sense of movement and life, as though the figure is radiating energy or existing in a state of transformation. The background is minimal yet textured, with vertical bands resembling soft curtains or beams of light, adding depth and a subtle sense of enclosure or a stage-like setting. This simple yet striking composition emphasizes the figure's otherworldly qualities, evoking mystery, beauty, and a sense of cosmic tranquility.

Fairy I
The digital painting, titled "Fairy I," presents an ethereal, otherworldly figure bathed in rich shades of blue, surrounded by a cosmic and dreamlike environment. The central figure appears humanoid yet distinctly unearthly, with elongated limbs, a slender frame, and glowing accents that emphasize their celestial nature. The being's body is entirely blue, its texture a mix of soft gradients and subtle patterns resembling organic veins or cosmic energy. Its face is featureless save for two glowing, white, star-like markings in place of eyes, adding a mysterious and spiritual quality. A halo hovers above the figure’s head, glowing in radiant white, further reinforcing the celestial, angelic essence of the character. Its presence is commanding yet serene, exuding an aura of grace. The figure has large, semi-transparent wings extending outward, rendered in soft, feathered strokes that blend into the dark background. These wings add depth and give the character a sense of weightlessness. They are illuminated by subtle highlights, as though reflecting distant starlight. In its hand, the figure holds a long, glowing white staff with a forked end. The staff is surrounded by swirling, luminous rings of energy that radiate and spiral outward, adding movement and dynamic energy to the composition. Beneath the figure, golden specks resemble stardust, further emphasizing its cosmic setting and creating a striking contrast against the blue tones. The background is a swirling void of deep blues and blacks, with faint, abstract streaks of light suggesting a vortex or nebula. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the mystical atmosphere, drawing focus to the central figure while immersing it in a celestial expanse. Overall, the painting captures a balance between tranquility and power, blending elements of the divine, the cosmic, and the ethereal into a visually arresting piece.

how it feels to floss
This digital artwork depicts a distorted, surreal face that merges skeletal and human features in a strikingly unsettling way. The face is symmetrical, with hollow, tired eyes that appear sunken and drooping, conveying a sense of fatigue or indifference. The texture is grainy and stippled, creating a gritty, tactile quality that enhances the eerie atmosphere of the piece. The upper and lower jaws are prominent, showcasing two wide, identical rows of teeth that stretch unnaturally across the face. The exaggerated size and symmetry of the teeth make them a focal point, evoking discomfort and amplifying the surrealism. The nasal cavity is shadowy and skeletal, further emphasizing the face's decayed and haunting appearance. The background consists of a speckled red and white pattern, adding chaotic energy and depth without detracting from the central figure. The red tones of the face blend into the background, creating a cohesive, monochromatic palette that heightens the visceral impact of the image. Overall, the artwork exudes a macabre, haunting aesthetic, combining elements of decay and dreamlike distortion.

radial contemplation
This digital sketch features a surreal and abstract composition, blending dark and vibrant elements. On the left side, the image begins with a black background that transitions into a ghostly, pale depiction of a skeletal face emerging from the shadows. The skull is partially obscured, with faint, wispy details that give it an ethereal and haunting quality. Surrounding the skull is a swirling aura of white and blue, which creates a sense of motion and depth. To the right of the skull, a series of bold, colorful streaks radiate outward. These colors—orange, green, yellow, purple, and pink—are rendered in a textured, smoky style, blending slightly into one another. The vibrancy of the colors contrasts starkly with the dark, muted tones of the left side, creating a dynamic visual tension. The rainbow-like pattern appears to push outward, as if emanating energy or breaking through the darker, skeletal side of the composition. The overall piece evokes themes of contrast, such as life and death, or darkness and vibrancy. The textures and blending techniques add an expressive and emotive quality, making the image feel both chaotic and purposeful. The stark juxtaposition of colors and forms makes this artwork striking and contemplative.

keep your heart safe
This digital sketch features a stark black-and-white composition with a skeletal, ethereal figure at its center. The figure is tall and shrouded in a black, monolithic cloak or robe that blends into the background, creating a looming and mysterious silhouette. The head is a bare skull, simple yet striking, exuding an air of death or the macabre. The upper section of the figure is crowned with a jagged, crown-like shape, emphasizing a sense of regality or authority. The skeletal figure holds a small, glowing heart in its hands, rendered in white, which contrasts sharply against the dark cloak. This heart draws immediate attention, evoking themes of fragility, care, or perhaps possession. Two small, black hearts float symmetrically on either side of the figure, further emphasizing the centrality of the heart motif and adding a surreal, whimsical touch. The backdrop includes a simple, rectangular picture frame outlined with sketchy, ornamental flourishes. This frame creates a sense of containment or focus on the central figure but does not detract from its dominating presence. The minimalist style, stark contrasts, and sparse details combine to create a haunting yet poetic image, evoking themes of mortality, love, and power.

undead knight or something idk
This digital sketch depicts a menacing, armored character drawn in a chaotic, rough style that emphasizes aggression and intensity. The character’s face is partially visible beneath a helmet or mask, with glowing red eyes and a wide, jagged grin that exudes confidence and menace. Blood-like red markings streak across the face and armor, adding to the brutal and battle-worn appearance. The character is dressed in bulky, layered armor with a patch featuring a pentagram-like symbol on the shoulder, reinforcing a dark and ominous theme. A sword hilt protrudes from behind the character, suggesting they are armed and prepared for combat. The sketchy linework and minimal details on the weapon and armor give the piece a raw, visceral energy. The character’s confident demeanor is emphasized by the speech bubble near their head that reads, "Nah, I'd win," reinforcing their arrogance and sense of superiority. The background is minimal, rendered in gray tones, with vague shapes suggesting a post-apocalyptic or battlefield setting. The loose and expressive style lends an unfinished yet dynamic quality to the piece, drawing attention to the character’s threatening presence and defiant attitude.

warning signs
The artwork features a bold, chaotic, and unsettling composition with an emphasis on stark contrasts and striking typography. At the center is a vivid, exaggerated red face with glowing white, wide eyes and a disturbingly large, toothy grin. The expression is unnervingly cheerful, bordering on sinister, with a skeletal quality to the face. Surrounding the central figure are thick, black, hand-drawn block letters arranged haphazardly, spelling out fragmented phrases like "HEY THERE!!!!!," "SMILE," "THROUGH THE PAIN," and others. Arrows, pointing in various directions, add to the sense of movement and chaos. The text appears as if it's shouting at the viewer, with a mix of encouragement and menace. The background is red and white, creating a vivid and aggressive color scheme that heightens the tension of the piece. The overall style is raw and intentionally rough, evoking a sense of urgency and unease. The inclusion of a small, simplistic smiley face contrasts sharply with the grim tone of the main figure, adding an ironic or unsettling layer to the artwork. The composition combines graphic design elements with a surreal, horror-inspired aesthetic, making it both eye-catching and deeply unnerving.

happy turkey day, have some faces I painted a year or two ago
The first image depicts a stark black-and-white portrait of a surreal and unsettling figure. The face is elongated and pale, with deeply shadowed, bulbous eyes that seem hollow yet reflective. The wide-open mouth reveals sharp, jagged teeth, suggesting a scream or a snarl. The texture of the skin appears rough and uneven, giving a raw, grotesque quality. The background is entirely black, emphasizing the eerie, isolated nature of the figure. The second image shows a humanoid figure with a textured, otherworldly appearance. Its head is covered in a pattern of irregular holes, resembling a honeycomb or porous surface, which extends down the neck. The eyes are large and disproportionate, almost insect-like, and the mouth is slightly open, revealing rows of sharp teeth. The figure appears to emerge from the darkness, with its form dissolving into the shadows, creating an unsettling, alien presence. The third image features a close-up of a distorted humanoid face. The skin is dark and smooth, with hollow, lifeless eyes that seem to pierce through the darkness. The mouth is unnervingly wide, filled with sharp, evenly spaced teeth that create an impression of menace. The face lacks defined contours, appearing almost spectral or ghostly against the black background. The fourth image portrays a humanoid face with exaggerated, mask-like features. The eyes are wide and glowing, evoking a sense of artificiality or unnatural intensity. The mouth is a broad, fixed grin with small, sharp teeth, giving the face a sinister, clown-like appearance. The head is bald, and the figure’s body is partially visible, blending into the shadows. The contrast between the glowing eyes and teeth and the dark background heightens the unsettling, surreal atmosphere.

me and the boys be havin a laff yeh
This digital sketch is a haunting collection of distorted, skeletal faces drawn in rough black linework. Each face features hollow, exaggerated eye sockets and prominent, jagged teeth, creating an unsettling and chaotic atmosphere. The expressions range from menacing grins to eerie, open-mouthed stares, each uniquely grotesque in its depiction. The faces are clustered together, overlapping and crowding the composition, which adds to the overwhelming, claustrophobic feeling of the piece. The sketch employs a high-contrast black-and-white style, emphasizing the rawness of the linework and the stark details of the faces. The use of texture is prominent, with dense cross-hatching and scribbled shading creating depth and dimension within the faces, while also enhancing the unsettling, chaotic tone. Each face appears slightly different, suggesting a variety of emotions or personalities, but all share a grim and sinister quality. The absence of a background and the focus on these fragmented, skeletal forms amplify the intensity and eeriness of the artwork. It evokes feelings of horror, unease, and fascination, drawing the viewer into a surreal and nightmarish vision.

took that advice to heart i reckon
This digital sketch presents a striking and unsettling image dominated by a distorted red head with exaggerated features. The face appears distorted and glitch-like, with wide, bulging black-and-white eyes that resemble magnified lenses or cameras. These eyes create a piercing, otherworldly gaze that is both intense and unnerving. The wide, jagged smile is grotesque, with sharp white teeth that add to the eerie quality of the image. The head is rendered in bold red tones, giving it an ominous, glowing presence, while the background is stark black, emphasizing the central figure and enhancing its menacing aura. The digital distortion effect, with horizontal glitches and ripples, creates a sense of chaos and disorientation. To the right of the figure, in red and white text, are the words: "WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT RUN." The text is written in a jagged, uneven font, mirroring the unsettling energy of the image. The combination of the text and the distorted face evokes a sense of dread and urgency, as though the viewer is being directly addressed and warned. Overall, the piece effectively conveys a sense of horror and psychological tension through its minimal but impactful use of color, distortion, and text.

took that extra layer of skin off
The image depicts a blurred and unsettling portrait of a humanoid face, rendered in rough, chaotic strokes and dominated by distorted, exaggerated features. The figure has two massive, hollow, black eyes that dominate its face, evoking an eerie, soulless stare. The mouth is wide and jagged, filled with sharp, uneven teeth, giving a grotesque grin that is both menacing and unnerving. The skin is a mix of red, blue, and pink hues, with the colors bleeding together in an almost painterly manner, emphasizing the raw and frantic nature of the sketch. The hair is sparse and stringy, represented with thin, dark lines extending outward in disheveled tufts. The lack of clarity and sharpness, combined with the distorted proportions, adds to the haunting and surreal atmosphere of the image. The background is a muted grayish tone, ensuring the focus remains on the unsettling figure, while the soft blurriness lends a dreamlike or nightmarish quality. Overall, the artwork captures a chaotic and otherworldly sense of horror.
