Been a long time since I made a doodle post. I wanted to test out some of Procreate’s new pen/ink brushes with my favorite characters to see if any of them would suit my style. Let me know which one you guys think looks the best and what other brushes I should try out :)

I recently fell in love with the 70s-80s Barbie art style and how vibrant it is, so I decided to combine my love for classic monsters and dolls and draw Dark Universe’s Bride of Frankenstein in this style 💜⚡️

The child sleeps and spends her free time in Ygor’s closet when it’s not safe to leave the manor. It’s cramped and smells kinda weird but she finds ways to make herself at home :)

The child is bored and needs something to do while Ygor is working. Maybe she can go outside?

🪡 Everyone meet my sticky iPad kid Dark Universe OC 🐀 she doesn’t have a name because Ygor keeps forgetting to give her one (and for consistency’s sake bc the other Frankenstein creatures don’t have names either)

"keep up the fight" I will but I would rather not have to continually justify who I am and my right to exist, I would rather not have to worry about whether ICE is coming for my neighbors, and I would rather have affordable healthcare. I'll fight, because we must, but we also shouldn't have to. Fuck

The voices told me neglect all my current projects to make a lineup of the Dark Universe characters in my style (these designs are based on multiple different actors, the animatronics and official art combined)

An image of Cupid Asteria from Monster High G3. She is sitting on top of a pink desk with her legs crossed, leaning forward slightly to speak into a gold microphone connected to a red laptop. She is wearing gold headphones with her right hand cupping one side as she speaks.

I made Conclave Benítez in the style of the Catholic Church anime mascots because I have free will
(This is from a month ago but I figured now would be the best time to post it lmao)

"I am what god made me" - a mixed media piece I created for Our Darling of the Academy, @clubconcrave.bsky.social

This movie was incredibly moving, meaningful, and visually stunning. I hope it wins everything.

I think Barbie Afanas counts as being part of the action figure trend so I'm resharing it

Meet Barbie Afanas! He has long, brushable blonde hair, glamorous outfits, and no genitals, just like a real Barbie 💖
This doll sadly isn’t real :( but if you wanna see @actordougjones.bsky.social as a fabulously dressed vampire watch WWDITS!
