Got this idea stuck in my head with one of my Paperdemon characters, they have eyes inspired by a crocodile and well...
A dark painting with the upper half of a man's face above the water, wet long hair framing their face and trailing around them. Their eyes have the yellow-red glow of a crocodile. In the foreground, a part of a hook and part of a hand also appear above the water. The background is vague shapes of clouds and the faint shape of a ship.

Did a redraw of a panel of Red Hood but made it my OC from Paperdemon. (Trigger here is actually about 10 years -older- than Red Hood, but his helmet is newer and -was- inspired by that character. It was fun!

pin.it/71YpRVCRb How'd I do?

A gunman crouches on a railing or ledge, one leg up, one knee down, both hands held in front as he looks down and into a view unseen by the viewer. He has tall boots, gray pants, a black tanktop and brown coat. A belt across the chest implies the location of his holster. His face is obscured by a blank, smooth helmet in black with a bright green cross hair pattern over the right side of the face roughly where their eye would be. The sky is purple and orange with a scattering of stars, and behind him are structures that imply masts and the drape of ropes.

One of my newer OC's currently on Paperdemon, in another one of the emoji prompts.

#digitalart
A man with long dark hair and a goatee takes on the classic Picard facepalm pose. He wears several gold necklaces, and wears a dark blue and cream coat with gold trim.

#Paperdemon AARPG has a character development prompt to draw your character as an Emoji. Knife Cat might be pushing that definition a little but on the other hand... it's -very- Trigger.
Based on the KnifeCat Meme: A blond man in 3/4 view smirks at the camera, the stick of a lolipop in his mouth as he looks toward the viewer, ringed by knives. He has short blond hair, gray eyes and a tan coat over a gray turtleneck. The right side of his face has scars, part of which cross the bridge of his nose, loosely resembling a crosshair mark.

Slapped a label on this one because it is at least moderately creepy and has some blood:

Vel and I have been playing off and on with a side project we semi seriously call Snakes and Bones with characters of ours that have had several different incarnations now, including Paladin and Gorgon
A lush scene of greenery and vaguely heart shaped leaves, as well as large flowers faintly like tiger lilies but clearly not. The mid ground has shirtless man slumped unconcious or dead against a stump, curled around by the same vines as the foreground which appear to have pierced skin and drawn blood. The vines either grow very fast or things have been this way for some time undisturbed because the blond man with his brown pants and armored greaves is also curled about with vines and soft gold-and-white blooms and vines. The grass is stained with blood and some of the leaves drip with it, indicating that the answer may be that the vines have grown with terrifying speed for such pretty things.

OK these Amazon ads continue to get even weirder, this HAS to be AI at this point. Because -easy to use INTERFACE? - on a THEORETICAL LABUBU???
Which is, you know... a little forest troll thing??
Amazon ad: the photo is a blue cardboard display case of something called "BubuLubu" which appears to be some kind of candy bar. The text for the ad reads "Easy-to-Use Interface- Labubus Pop Mart Original- Shop Labubus Pop Mart..."

... this is two of -three- versions of this add I've seen that make me wonder what is happening at the 'Zon because uh. ...

...I have questions.
An Amazon add saying "Action figures at Amazon- Unlock your Imagination- Labubus Pop Mart Original. The picture is BUBU LUBU candybar. Not a labubu. Amazon add reading: "Labubu the monster on Amazon- Low Priced Labubu the monster". The picture is... a squishmallow monster.

When you realize you just -design silly prosthetic eyes- for the character with a missing eye.
A close up view of a man's face, he has comparatively pale warm tone skin and blond hair, and a straight line scars around his right eye. One eye is gray and the other is a false eye in black with red text reading 'if you can read this you're too close'.

Like I said I am NOT a NSFW artist but I -AM- made out of like... 60-80% spite depending so here's one of my equally spite fueled characters, Kynan.

He's a menace. Enjoy. Don't make me block people because I absolutely will.

#NSFW-art
A man with long red hair sneers at the viewer, he is in a low crouch with one knee touching the ground and the other raised, weight on the toes of one foot, hands in front. The only thing he is wearing is a collar and leash.

The Kaiju himself being very dignified.
A brown tabby and white stares directly into the camera, mouth draw more tightly than usual for cats and eyes wide and focused with narrow pupils, giving an appearance both somehow promising violent behavior and also somehow looking slightly rabbit like. This is funnier if you know the cat is a Manx mix with a matching stubby tail and shark like tendency to apply his mouth first and his brain later.)

OK I don't have a lot of NSFW stuff because I just... don't. But apparently, we're leaning in so you can enjoy the one recent piece I have of my character Trigger from Paper Demon ((this one was only shared in the Red Curtain area so it's not even on the site yet...
A blond man with short blond hair falling forward slightly, sits on the ground looking up and into the foreground. He wears very little outside of (clumsily drawn) fishnet stockings and a transparent shirt. His one leg is drawn up to rest his arm on, and the position of his legs and the folds of the shirt conceal his groin but there is implied nudity. He has a glass clasped in one hand with what can be assumed to be alcohol.

OK so I have an option that might fix one problem but also:
-can't unlink anything else FOR. A. YEAR??

ExCUSE YOU???
Screenshot of the text box for unlinking on the nintendo account page: "When unlinked any virtual game cards loaded to the system will be returned. You won't be able to load virtual game cards until you link another system. Please note that you won't be able to unlink a system from this page for one year after this."

UPDATE:
NOPE CANT GODDAMN EJECT FROM ONLINE EITHER. If your system dies it just -takes anything on it with it- I guess.

WELL APPARENTLY they've preemptively blocked me but remember that Mothtasia person I warned people about a while back that was harassing a friend and posting fetish art of child characters in diapers?
They're back.

Block/Report/Do what you need to do to feel safe.
screenshot of who @therealmothtasia is blocking, which conveniently is all the people who noticed they were posting unfiltered pics of underage characters in diapers. Apparently they are also an AI user according to someone's research on clearsky

What Husbeast doesn't know yet is that I used some of my funds to snag an old-fashioned push vacuum, the kind with the rollers and bristles and stuff and basically a dustpan? Because damnit at least that won't die by popcorn kernel.

Did some messy and experimental lighting for this picture for #paperdemon (the prompt is to draw your character as the final boss in a game.)

Was debating putting it on DA as well but DA is being -particularly high- in scammy accounts right now and I am tired of reporting them.
A man lounges in a cup like chair, one foot tucked up, a mask with a bright green crosshair clutched in one hand. In his other hand is a whirl of fire. Behind him is a case that seems likely to contain a weapon. His right eyesocket is entirely dark, and he appears to be calmly speaking to the viewer.

Done for now I guess, my hand and wrist hurt.
A man with dark hair clutches a raised crescent arrow like a knife over the head of a huge anthropomorphic beast that resembles a big cat with horns. They are framed by a tangle of raspberry canes and cloth banners that currently have no text.

No inks, we paint like gremlins

#digitalpainting
a screenshot of part of a larger digital painting with a man's face visible in the upper part and part of what looks like a crescent head arrow. Lower in the frame is something that looks like an huge big cat with markings that look like a mix of several. It also has the hint of horns that vanish outside of the shot.

Before I wrote the book I played around with some fun ideas of 'what if' and one was -what if Shavn turned full villain- which also in this case meant that he used dark magic to literally take back the hand he lost and reanimate the bones. It's a few years old but I'm not sure I'll do a repaint soon
A villainous AU of the artists Character: A man with green hair and red eyes scowls in a sidelong stare at the viewer, mouth open as though he is speaking. His face and neck are scarred, and his raised right arm is skeletal, partially wrapped in trailing bandages and lit with green smokey light. He wears a red scarf around his neck and a green cloak held with a pin that looks to have the sigil of an eye on it, and a breastplate gleams faintly in the light.

I still -own- a couple Pouflon, though this was for someone else, I just don't play anymore.
Art for the closed species group Pouflons of a pouflon character with a face resembling a porcelain mask staring at it's reflection in the water. The scenery is lush and green with leaves floating on the water, and strong sunlight creates dusty beams of light over the scene.

I wasn’t kidding when I said it wasn’t an amazing map but it did its job.
A cork board with a fantasy map faintly drawn on four pieces of paper stuck together, along with enamel pins, modified Pokemon cards, a keychain of a unicorn oc, beauty of birds ornaments and assorted art. Also one cat postcard.

I occasionally mention the mini fridge and the stickers but uh. Yeah I wasn’t kidding it’s a wild time on there.
The door of a mini fridge covered in stickers ranging from Gold Belly to Pride, Sanrio and Bluey.
