I'm Mani; an artist and a writer. I express, through my art, how I view the world around me. I hope you can join me on my journey 😇
I’m afraid Twitter is getting worse by the day! Which is surprising because I didn’t think a cesspool could get worse.
The level of discourse is in the gutters!
I regret even sharing art there. Feels like there is no appreciation for arts there anymore.
No wonder we can see the exodus happening!

Doing more acrylic painting studies… still very much a beginner of acrylics.
I enjoyed painting a sunset and I will continue to, but I couldn’t resist painting the crocodile eye just now! They’re such fearsome creatures aren’t they… #acrylics #artist #painting #art

Learning acrylics as a complete beginner! It doesn’t matter if it’s not good, nothing is in the beginning.
It’s a great way for me to take a break from my usual dark horror digital art :)

The GTA 6 delay doesn’t matter.
What matters is the human cost. Artists burned out, silenced, and punished for seeking fairness.
How can great art survive when those who create it live in fear of their own studio?

The new Feast for Crows illustrations feel lifeless, unworthy of a saga that redefined fantasy.
I painted a Game of Thrones scene once & even that I’d hesitate to show George.
His world deserves better than unpolished mediocrity.

Review of Arya’s chapter in A Storm of Swords.
It’s a window into a town torn apart by a brutal war.
Things ordinary people do can seem shocking when viewed from the safety of peace but war draws out the primal instincts in people, even in those you once thought were good cuz they were on your side.

Usually Jason Schreier is spot-on with his industry insights. But I hope he is wrong about Intergalactic!
Otherwise I’m baffled with Naughty Dog’s current gen production.
They’ve got resources.
But maybe they have studio-wide mismanagement!
If that’s the case then it’s such a waste of great talent!

I hope the day comes when politics is not about consolidation of power.
But rather 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 that power for the good of the people!

He’s worried about losing the seat

Since I can’t post a longer narrated video of my, illustrated, horror story page, I’ll post a screenshot here instead.
This is page 2 of #inferno. Witness the horrors that await the sinners, in the seven circles of hell!

I am back in #Pakistan right now for a trip. Far away in this part of the world again.
Soaking in the experience that this homeland offers in all its entirety, both the ugly and the beautiful 🗺️🛣️ #travel #family #home #travelogue

Trump is a terrible businessman and a shameless grifter!!
His ‘schemes’ only work on his cult-like followers who worship everything he does. The rest of us can see through him!
Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

I don’t understand how TikTok is a bigger threat to America than any of its own homegrown companies like Instagram and Twitter!!! They are all the same and exploit users and their data equally…!!
why is one getting blocked but the rest are given free reign??
January 16, 2025 at 4:16 AM
I think that’s the right attitude to have as an artist! As artists we should focus on being true to ourselves and the people who get it WILL get it!😇
I don't actually care about 'readers' as a nebulous marketing concept, I care about what I want to express and the people who get it

I did a quick sketch of Britney Spears. The princess of pop 😎 Do you see the resemblance?

Sketched a portrait of Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Black Swan is, in my mind, one of the best horror films of this century….

Writing “Inferno” (illustrated horror story) page by page! As an artist, I like the imperfections of my handwriting over the perfectly typed words in photoshop!

#Intergalactic is the best news out of the whole TGA!
But at the same time I’ve never been as conflicted on an upcoming piece of media art EVER as much as this right now.!
One of my favorite game developers are creating a franchise in one of my least favorite genres ever…! 😳🤯😕🤔

I sculpted the "Faun" from one of my favourite films ever "Pan's Labyrinth".

My winter painting is complete!
Shows the iconic scene in “A Song of Ice and Fire” & “Game of Thrones”.
It’s an encounter with the “others” & shows the threat beyond the wall!
If u’d like to see more of my art, follow along for the journey 😇

I don’t care what some jaded critics have to say, I’m excited to start my playthrough of #IndianaJonesandtheGreatCircle.
There hasn’t been a new Tomb Raider or Uncharted in ages. This is a perfect time for the OG to make a comeback! The one who inspired both Tomb Raider and Uncharted.

A cold wintery night, painted by me. Can you feel the chill in the air?
