He/Him. AroAce. 20-something. Canadian physics student. People = Shit.

Expect both art and ramblings about astronomy, music, and whatever I enjoy.

Weirdos will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

(CW: Bloody/Gory)

Some gritty shit that I ended up drawing from having old school horrorcore on loop.

Pretty crucial scene in my lore, to be TL:DR; about it.

Small take on Luna Tenebris from #TheDragonPrince after I watched the whole thing before starting grad school. Love the show but man I wish Luna had a more involved appearance. What a design.

With that here is my belated card for ArtFight. Decided on Team Crystals. Featured characters are from left to right: Colt, Natint, Aquis, Iudex, and Garrison.

Name is RealmsOfTheDark if you want to find me. Link is in the bio too.

Here is part 2 of these guys, with their dragon forms. Took a bit of time because I wanted to make sure they were distinct like their humanoid forms.

Four references for the humanoid forms of my characters, hastily done in preparation for ArtFight. Dragon forms to come very soon.

Small tidbit: They are part of a cosmic dragon race in my character lore.

Recently watched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (quite enjoyed it), and it inspired me to do this drawover/scene study (?) of my Doom/Quake character Garrison in the same pose (while in the depths of Hell of course) as young Masbath during one scene.

"The old flesh is dead. Long live the new flesh."

An older piece of #art that I made of Colt from last year, but I hold it as one of my personal favorites so I'm showing it here.

An abstract depiction of his rebirth as an android if you'd like.

Introducing another character of mine, Malcolm, through a nod to Mr. Bungle's debut album based on this dude's internal turmoil.

Why Mr. Bungle? Because I think they're a good band.

For those who are enjoyers of (relatively) deep cuts in metal (like me), here's the original photo. This one's from around 1994, IIRC.

It's hard to find so I figured it was worthwhile to include with my art.

Drawing of Colt posed like Tim Eiermann from that one photo of Pyogenesis that I have, because I can.

(CW: Cosmic Horror)

Art that I drew for my senior research project this semester for fun, since it was about Jupiter's moon Europa and the elasticity of its ice shell.

Take it as a reminder why we shouldn't go past the ice shell if we land on it (joking).

I've been busy with academic obligations, so in the meantime, accept this meme image I made with the #zubeia rig done by Paul1748, available on their Gumroad for free.

Being a dragon nerd, the designs of Zubeia and the Archdragons from #thedragonprince has been growing on me in recent months.

(CW: Blood, body horror, eldritch imagery.)

Recent artpiece I completed of a few of my eldritch characters. Their names are: Hylkaeth (top left), Verx (top right), and Cithar (bottom). May make a thread about them soon.

Introduce yourself with 4 records:

Admittedly, it was hard to narrow down the list, but these are my picks. At least, my foundational choices.

Anathema - The Silent Enigma (1995)
Pyogenesis - Ignis Creatio (a.k.a. self-titled) (1992)
Trouble - S/T (1990)
Fear Factory - Soul of a New Machine (1992)

A drawing of my persona in the meantime (the humanoid form anyways).

Who this is:

This is Colt Blazkovich, an astrophysicist born a human but brought back from certain death as an android with superhuman resilience and strength. While driven to protect those more vulnerable, his methods can be violent and intense, being very jaded.

First little bit of art for this account I suppose. Did it as a little break from the week's workload. This one's of my android character.
