It's spooky deer season~
Painting done on a wooden canvas that was cut to look like a postage stamp. The postage stamp border is white. The main image is of an unsettling deer looking directly at the viewer. The painting is made to look like a trail cam picture, with the main colors being dark green, grey, and white.The unsettling deer has 5 pairs of antlers, two at the top, two sets curling around the deers face, and two hanging down. The antlers have green eyes with rectangular white pupils between the tines. There is a red and blue outline on the antlers. The deer's mouth is open and it is holding a green ball of some sort. The deer has large canines and bottom incisors visible in its mouth. There is text on the painting that says "metes quod seminasti" in a digital font. Closeup of face detail with a black light shining onto the painting, showing off that the paint is uv reactive. Another closeup of the deer's face. The main two eyes of the deer have colored outlines around the white square pupils. The eye on the left is outlined in red and the eye on the right is outlined in blue. Original concept sketch of the painting, done in pencil. There is some Latin text scribbled toward the bottom.

"St. Vitus Wakes the Over-sleepers" St. Vitus is an Italian saint, and like many saints, he wears a lot of hats. He's the patron saint of exorcisms, wild dogs, protection from lightning strikes, dancers, and protection from over-sleeping. Manifesting the wakefulness needed to exercise demons ❤️🌈❤️

Okay but I unironically adored the Pescy Bird Mumbo built in the PermitMaster challenge. I accept our new god of the sea, the sky, and struggles~ #pescybird #peskybird #hermitcraft #mumbojumbo #mumbojumbofanart #minecraft #permitmaster #sugardrake
A gouache painting of the Pescy Bird, an amalgamate mythical creature that is part parrot-phoenix and part salmon, created by Mumbo Jumbo on Hermitcraft for the PermitMaster challenge "build the most well rounded mythical creature" the peach bird has four heads which are King salmon heads. There is a small human figure in a boat in central frame, pleading up to the Pescy bird for aid in one of its domains, the sea, the sky, and struggles

"The Lamb As It Had Been Slain" #lgbtqia #uspolitics #revelations
Canvas is a quatrefoil shape. A brown lamb is the central figure. The lamb has seven metallic golden horns on his head and seven eyes arranged below them. The eyes are brown, with red rectangular pupils outlined in blue. The lamb has metallic gold eyelashes and iridescent shine on each eye. The lamb has a US 100 dollar bill in his mouth and a tag in his right ear that is decorated like a US flag, but the flag is inverted from how it would normally hang, implying the flag is upside down. The lamb is bleeding from a slit in his neck. The blood spilling out is pink, blue, and white. Despite the fatal wound, the lamb looks unafraid and calm. There are golden trumpets in the corners of the painting, two each facing each other for each corner except the top point, which has the trumpet facing down at the lamb. The background of the painting is matte black, except for a iridescent red, purple, and blue glow outlining the lamb. Closeup of the horns, fur texture, and throat wound of the lamb

"The Archangel"-inspired by a statue of the archangel Michael subduing the devil I saw every Sunday growing up. #lgbtqia #lgbtqiap #uspolitics
An acrylic and watercolor painting of an "archangel" subduing "the devil" The archangel has a hyena's head, but the color palette is not natural hyena coloring but instead deliberately white, blue, and pink. The archangel's face is turned down, snarling at the figure underneath his foot. The archangel has a rainbow cloth wrapped around him and black and brown wings. The archangel has golden chains that have been broken, a golden sword pointed down, and a golden halo. The figure underneath the archangel's foot is an old white man with blonde hair and a bad orange spray tan in a blue suit with a white collared shirt. The figure is sprawled ontop of a large pile of bills in the light and dark green of US currency. There is gold text running down the wood panel to the left side of the archangel that says "we will survive" A close up of the hand holding the golden sword to highlight the reflective quality of the golden paint A close up shot of the foot of the archangel and the face of the figure under his foot. The figure under the archangel's foot is crudely done, with a cartoonish expression of disgruntlement A close up of the torso of the archangel. With this closeup, gold scars indicating top surgery can be seen better against the white of the figure's chest

"Direct Action"
Humbly borrowing a creature from the masked dance tradition of Korea. The Yeongno is a divine beast that has committed a sin, resulting in their expulsion from heaven. To return to heaven, the creature must eat 100 wicked government officials. #yeongno #directaction #koreanfolklore

Little sketch before bed~ #hyenas #wip #killnazis
A sketch done in blue pencil of two hyenas facing each other, tearing a Nazi flag apart with their teeth. There is mauve text above the flag that says "Kill" in loopy cursive, and below the flag "Nazis" in the same font

Listening to Usseewa by Ado and feeling my feelings~ #watercolor #wolf #usseewa #ado
Profile view of a wolf done in watercolor pencils. The wolf's primary coloring is shades of blue mimicking the natural color gradient of a gray wolf, with a pink tongue, yellow teeth, and dark purple gums. The wolf has her mouth open wide, the top of her muzzle wrinkled in a snarl. There is a strand of saliva connecting her canine tooth to her lower jaw.Her one visible eye is orange and partially obscured by her cheek as she looks incredulously down at the viewer, challenging them. There is text on the picture, the word "huh?" Written in dense zaggy purple. The background is like green. The picture is of a blue and white wolf from a slightly different angle. This angle emphasizes the downward angle of the wolf's gaze, daring the viewer to test her. Close up of the wolf's orange eye and the corner of her jaw. The corner of her lip is pulled up in a smile, contrasting the snarl lines on her upper muzzle near her nose. Closeup of the wolf's open muzzle with focus on the wolf's teeth. This angle emphasizes how wide the wolf's muzzle is open.

Watercolor before bed, I'm calling this one " I feel so normal about the Rise of Hitler 2, thanks for asking". Done with watercolor pencils and markers, heavily inspired by Japanese paintings from the Edo period. #havingaday #hyena #theonlygoodnaziisadeadnazi #nonbinary
A watercolor and ink painting of a hyena emitting smoke from their mouth. The hyena's front right foot is foremost, followed by a snarling face with prominent fangs. Out of either side of the hyena's mouth, smoke billows in yellows, purples, and whites. The hyena is making eye contact with the viewer. The hyena is colored in yellows, purples, black, and white. The background is a wash of red. The painting's style is meant to evoke similarity to Japanese art of the Edo period A close-up of the nose and dripping tongue of a hyena watercolor painting. The nose is black, the tongue and muzzle are purple. The prominent fangs are yellow. The hyena appears to be looking down at the viewer. The hyena has black eyes and white prominent eyebrows that curl in a way that suggests smoke A closeup of the stylized smoke out the right side of the Hyena's maw. The smoke swirls with purples and yellows and white, with some sharp swirling black lines to suggest the direction the smoke is trailing in The front right paw of the hyena. The paw is black with prominent, harsh marker skribbles for shading. The claws are purple.there is red shading under the foot to give it additional shadow and weight, like the hyena is stepping forward
