I make pixelart in my spare time. Blood and horror are common themes in my work (tw).

Other social media accounts can be found on my carrd above.

Illustration of a large brass machine surrounded by smoke. The machine is shaped like a curved cylinder with a chimney at its tip spewing smoke into the sky. On one side of the machine there is a large metal grate. The machine has one single eye which sheds a tear. The rest of the background is shrouded in smoke, with small buildings at the bottom of the image over shadowed by the machine.

Illustration of two near-identical figures sitting together. They wear pink frilly dresses which resemble raw meat, and bonnets with teeth-like frills around the brim. Blood pours down their chests and waists, staining their dresses. Their arms are intertwined, and tangled into a bloody twist. Their faces are blank, with only one large eye drawn on either face. Their hair is golden and curly.

Illustration of a lamb-like doll, with the top half of the figure visible and the bottom half an abstract mess of blood and viscera. The doll stands upright to the right, and has a reluctant look on its face. The doll has a white dress, hair and face with a red bow which drips downward. Beneath the bow is a bell which is pouring with blood. The background is dark

Illustration of Circus Baby resting on a barbed wire fence. In the background is a field of long golden grass and a fence with vague trees behind it, the trees blending into the sky in a swirly mess. To the left there is a slaughterhouse off in the distance, emitting smoke into the sky. The sky is made up of swirly golden clouds, with the dark green swirly leaves hanging in from the top and top right corner of the image. In the foreground there is the barbed wire fence with golden roses growing around the wooden fence posts. The ground is a thick dark green grass with a river of blood streaming towards the viewer on the left. Circus baby is depicted with elements of her original design from the fnaf games, but her red dress has a white apron and there is a golden bow beneath her neck. Her dress is torn and her apron is soaked in blood. As she rests on the barbed wire, the skin on her arm tears downward in a vague and unclear manner, yet her expression remains a smug smile.

Brenthia quadriforella, a metalmark moth that mimics jumping spiders.

Photo of a grey moth sitting on a leaf. The moth and its wings are up in the air, similar to a paper flower. The front wings have eye-like markings on the tips, whilst the hindwings stick out the side. The wing position and markings are similar to the appearance of a jumping spider. The moth has dull greyish colours.

Here's his new avatar, he's trying reinvent himself again. If you see anyone like this stay away (he also made a "new OC" that's just mystery again)

Twisted-Doctor is actively trying to convince people he's not a pedophile after grooming 10 kids. "I didn't know better", he did. He went out of his way to hide it. It's always such pedophile shit to do this stuff, pretend nothing happened and that you aren't the problem. #dolleye

EDIT: I still stand by this apology despite it being unlisted - it's always going to be available for view, but I've determined it's not beneficial to have it up at the forefront of my channel. I acknowledge I'm never the best at handling important situations like these, there's a lot of details that the public will never know, I don't want to throw anyone else under the bus, heavy feelings get in the way, and a lot of assumptions are made. It's a mess "This person is a pedophile" is an extreme oversimplification of what is otherwise a partially presented complex situation. And I don't blame anyone for thinking that, it's easier to view it this way. I have never been a pedophile, but I've been a terrible, negligent person nonetheless, and there isn't a day that I don't feel a load of regret. I wish I knew what the right thing to do was, it's hard when you're told so many different things. I'm sorry

Never give money to AO3. They're a website hosting content sexually objectifying real children that actually exist, while at the same time censoring works on Palestine.

They've never cared about art censorship. They want to get off to real children and not be criticized for it.

AND I MADE A BLACK JACK VERSION
#BlackJack #OsamuTezuka

The same illustration but now the bird is adorn with Black Jack's attire (black coat, red ribbon, the black and white hair, and a rather subtle face-scar in this case. I also added a bit of "hair" at the back of its head.)

There are concerns plans to expand salt mining operations on a wetland that stretches from Carnarvon to the Ningaloo Coast could cause environmental damage.
