#northernlights
Red and green northern lights dance above a treeline in Missouri with stars peaking out. Sky through some trees with Orion visible on the right and the beginning of red northern lights on the left cutting into the deep blue of the night sky.

Happy Halloween 🤡🤪💜🃏

#clown #alt #makeup #whimsy
Me as a clown! I have a tiny felt hat, straight black hair with bangs, white base clown paint with purple accents, a dark red velvet dress with arm sleeves, a purple satin corse with black lace sleeves, a white mini obi belt, fish nets, black leg warmers, black platform maryjanes, and my purple cane. I'm posed halfway out a doorway, smiling, with my left arm and leg up to the side and standing on my right. I made the tiny hat by sewing pieces of felt and then rubber banding it to 2 strands of hair, it was not moving off my head you better believe Same outfit, i'm just posed differently: I'm now holding my cane like a gun, slight movement blur, leaning back with my mouth wide open like "WUAH"

[harvest?]

#art #digitalart #sketchbook #illustration #charcoal #surreal #drawing #fantasy
Using charcoal brush on Sketchbook, I drew a vibrant looking apple nestled in the middle among roots to which, overall is a surreal blend of nature to chest anatomy- ribcage-like forms and even a spinal looking root from behind. At the bottom, a stiff hand reaches out from the darkness, almost hesitant to pick the apple. If you look closely, everything except for the hand has a faint prism of colors to further deviate they don't quite exist in the same realm originally to each other. Don't ask me about light source or anatomy I just busted this out over the course of the day I just color layers until shapes form and go "I think that gives plant or xyz vibes" overall really liked the process of making this I had no clue where it was going to go. Inspired after seeing a photo @theuglymachine of a final apple hanging onto the empty branches of a tree with the caption "hang in there little guy", combined with my recent experience playing the game Poco on steam (to which I highly recommend it's quick and it's free, great art inspo point and click adventure)

Which reading will you get? A heads up about future tricks to avoid, some sweetness, or both?

The choice is yours^^
Two piles of divination cards, one with a ghost, the other with a basket of candy. This is the setup for the reading and how many cards to expect (1 tarot 2 oracle cards in each). You can pick 1 pile for $7 or both for an extra $3 I shuffle and pull new cards per purchase, so you're not picking the exact same card piles. What you choose will be unique to you!

Your photo inspired me 🌳🔥

#art #digitalart #sketchbook #selfportrait #chronicillness
Ghostly silhouette of myself with abstract purple floral background, with hints of speckled decay on parts of my body that match the flowers. Drawn on the app Sketchbook. Brushes used were watercolor, tattoo ink, pencil, graphite, and acrylic brush. I'm going through disabled grief and frustration, and idk what else to do, but make art at times when I can't think. Also, ties in my culture's ancestral statues that are posed like this. I feel like a wilting plant, a beached jellyfish, an echo of what I was, and the cruelty of winter only draws closer. Will I become a statue that is mourned yet I still breathe.

Chronicles of a chronically ill girlie this week:

Having to accept and finally use the motorized carts at businesses

Hate having inflammation

Hate having nerve damage

Hate being hypermobile

What's new 😩
Pov sitting in a Walmart driving cart with my purple cane beside me. Selfie of me giving a thumbs up while tears run down my whole face as they were uncontrollable due to inflammation. Me holding a nutritional shake looking tired as hell because I haven't been able to eat solid food due to nerve damage Swelling of my face, that's me trying to open my eyes all the way and couldn't.

Top down view as I'm mid-step- I'm outside and there's fallen leaves. You can see I'm wearing black-white striped pants with black Mary Jane platforms. There are rips in my knit purple-black striped sweater.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE TREE IVE DREAMT ABOUT ALL MY LIFE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
Digital painting of what I call my "The Sleep Tree" via Sketchbook. It's a tree I've had dreams about since I was a baby (I have memories all the way back to 6 months old). This magical tree has thick trunks and tall roots like banyan trees. In my dream it has these glowing purple flowers and magic tendrils. There's pillows in the middle of it and wooden pegs leading up the canopy. Glowing little bugs, moss, and a pool is at the base of the tree. Anytime life was rough, I'd dream about this tree and anything I needed would pop out from it. The pool could turn into any drink you want or magical self cleaning bath. Any food would pop out of the flowers from the tree (even wrapped burgers with packaging). There was always a faint glow and the tree was inside a giant bubble where any nightmares would just stay outside. Mind you dreams can be fuzzy with details but just how similar they look is wild to me. I painted this months ago for the first time in my life. I'd write about it in my journals growing up but never visualized it onto media. I have never seen a picture of this tree in real life ever, if I did I would've reached like this already 🫨

Temperature just hit not going to melt my bones so it's that time of year

#alt #goth #makeup
I have teased black hair. In a knit, ripped cardigan with purple and black stripes. I have alternative makeup on: intense white base with lilac shadows and graphic eyeliner- black star tendril points reach out asymmetrically. A bold black lip with super pointed cupids bow and slight tinge of berry in the center. My lashes are coated white. And topped off with a shiny gyaru nose stripe.

Showing off my new heels and the skirt I upcycled from pants last week!

#kpdh but filipino
#sewing #diy
I'm posing similarly to Sailor Moon, one foot is hiked up, I'm doing peace signs with both hands, while smiling and winking. I have a side ponytail, a black and pink graphic t-shirt of Chopper from One Piece, blue-gray Aéropostal skirt with frills and pink logo (which used to be sweats and I hand-sewn the whole thing), and bright pink satin heels on. I'm wearing the same outfit, except I'm wielding kali sticks, which are Filipino martial arts weapons. I'm posed standing, with one arm behind and the other pointing a kali stick straight towards the camera looking mean. I'm a filipino witch, and the Philippines is rich in its own unique cultures regarding spirits like in KPOP Demon Hunters!

Drawn with digital blue pencil on Sketchbook. Depicted looks like a whispy ill-defined image of a humanoid form with both skeletal shapes and hints of skin, as if the life is sucking out of them.

I've been so out of commission physically, here's a couple quick spirit drawings I did the other day when I couldn't sleep. What started as random background shading started to layer more defined shapes.

#art #digitalart #sketchbook #occultsky
Drawn with digital green pencil on Sketchbook. Depicted looks like a blurred image of a burly man, holding a woman with long hair hostage, and someone's hand holding a flip phone up to him.
