photo from 2021 of a raven, edited yesterday
#photography #birds #art
A photo of a close up of a raven perching on a telephone pole. It is looking to the right. The colours make it look kind of vintage. The sky is completely clear and solid light blue.

my lil creativity corner is all organised now since i installed this cabinet
A photo of a desk in a bedroom. There is a floating cabinet above it with fairy lights wrapped around it and they are on. On the desk there is a strawberry shaped mechanical timer, a water bottle, a surface pro 9 with a second monitor that is sitting on top of textbooks, and computer peripherals. Under the desk is a fender guitar amp. In the cabinet are cameras and a MIDI keyboard.

the only makeup im good at is makeup that makes me look sick or dead. this was my lowest effort halloween outfit
A selfie. I'm wearing clip on elf ears. My fringe is white and the rest of my short hair is black. My makeup makes me look kind of undead (purple lips, red around the eyes)

Happy #halloween! here's something cursed i made a few years ago

#art #horror #furry
A painting of a canine with round ears floating underwater. It has large empty eyes emitting white light. It lacks a mouth, and one has been carved out instead, extending all the way around the creature's head. Blood plumes from its mouth and nostrils. It appears content, but vacant, in expression

something from 2017. a character from my worldbuilding project (info on that here: ko-fi.com/machinesblee...)
the link on the image watermark won't work anymore since i made ko-fi my main worldbuilding hub
#art #illustration #painting
A painting of a creature with many multiple pronged seashell-shaped ears stands with a backdrop of a purple sky with rings. They are covered in fur and have long tufts on their chin, similar to a beard. A curtain of fur extends from both cheeks. They have a halo and wings made of what appears to be fire, which is also erupting from their mouth, nostrils and eyes. They are heavily scarred.

I made this with a shitty pen that cost me under $1, a white-out pen ($3, maybe?) and a bunch of acrylic paint markers that came from a box of 24 i bought for $9 at bunnings warehouse. never let AI slop creators tell u art is not accessible 😎
#art #illustration
A pen and acrylic marker sketch of a creature with a bat-like nose and teddybear-like ears. There is blue lighting to the left, and pink to the right. It has strange alien-like yellow oblong eyes.

i wanted different banners for each of my workout days so naturally i used photos of my cat
a screenshot of a fitness app, in the "my custom workouts" screen. The image for core day is my cat curled up on her back. the image for upper body day is her outstretching one of her front legs. for leg day the image is her stretching her back leg out really far

hoping to do creative stuff this weekend. for some reason blender isn't launching for me, thru either the snap or flatpak version. the download directly from the website works tho which is mildly less convenient. i want to finish the 3D bow I started yonks ago
a 3D model of a crossbow. it has feather-like wings decorating it.

A painting of a featureless black dog with glowing rectangle eyes that is sitting attentively in front of a 90s style TV. They are melting into the shadow of the TV stand. There is a brown couch behind it covered in blood. The room is cold concrete, and the large windows are blue frosted glass too thick to see through. There is a soft shadow of a creature with empty eyes hidden in the distant hall. There is a grandfather clock, its clockface numbers distorted and the wrong way around. From the TV, light and static radiates outwards, connecting with the glow from the eyes of the dog

i finished a thing i've been putting off for eons
#art #furry #painting
a drawing of an anthropomorphic monster with green fur, giant glowing fire wings, a fire crown, and fire plumes coming from their eyes. They are floating in the air with their staff raised high. a banner is draped around them, and it says "my inner light will burn all that seeks to extinguish it". in the background is a glowing red full moon.

this fills me with such love and terror

a photo of a huge artwork on the side of a tall building. there is a weirdly anthropomorphised cat petting a cat with a human face, long blonde hair, and human skin coloured fur. above it is written "Now it's finally your turn to be looked after"

Amzarah sighs heavily. A memory is shown of them raising their hand to the sky. The red moon is dripping what appears to be blood. Their wings are transparent and glitching out. They ask "Why?"

a comic i made a while ago - the start of a longer one i want to finish one day
(🧵1/2)
#art #comics #illustration
Two monsters stand outside a concrete house with a glowing blue arch feature. Grarej is smoking. The sky is red. Grarej: "Hey. I'm worried too. The others are just-" Amzarah: "Protecting me." Grarej: "Yeah. Yeah, they think so." Grarej: "Do you remember anything? Anything at all?" Amzarah: "Language and feelings are all I know still. The rest is an emptiness I am not sure I should fill." Grarej: "Huh." Amzarah: "Have you been gifted with theories as to why we are blanketed by a sea of red?" Grarej: "Maybe it's a metaphor. A nightmare. Paranormal forces, a glitch in the fabric of spacetime." Amzarah: "Maybe red is meant to be. Maybe red is healthy". They tilt their head thoughtfully. Grarej: "..." Grarej: "It's going to be something completely mundane. The worst things always are." Their expression becomes pained, as they lower their cigarette Amzarah: "With every hour that passes the air grows harder to breathe. Do you think we will know the answer, before we leave to join the stars?" Grarej: "No. No, I wouldn't count on it." Grarej leaves and walks indoors after putting out their cigarette on the wall.
