I'm Artemis and I'm a painter / whatever at this point tbh lmao thanks for opening this up!
A black, white, red and gold abstract sharpie drawing of several partially hidden faces with many eyes and sharp teeth obscured by pitch black with white stars. There is a monstrous, dog like face with large teeth looking off to the side and two red hands framing it. On the red background with one single golden star the words "TO LOVE IS TO BE TORN ASUNDER" can be read in white. A black white red and gold drawing of a face, hands, ribs and organs floating in pitch black water looking up at a red sky. There is cross hatching over the face and a gold sun offset from the middle of the sky. The words "OH MY OWN VOICE CANNOT SAVE ME NOW" can be read in white text in the water. A watercolor painting of a woman with brown skin and pinkish red locs framed by orange branches, fruits, and flowers. She is wearing a warm colored striped shirt and there are stars in her blue eyes. Two blue birds are sat on a branch in front of her, looking at the viewer. She is smiling warmly. A black white red and gold illustration of an abstract person's face. There's a femininely adorned skeleton leaning on one shoulder pointing over the faces other shoulder into a black background with text reading "as the hours pass I will let you know that I need to ask before I'm alone how it feels to rest on your patient lips to eternal bliss" repeating over and over. There are various clock faces all saying different things, some broken, some warped. There is an anatomically correct heart growing fungus and eyeballs under the figures hand. In the foreground is an hourglass covered in spider webs and black widow spiders. The piece is littered with poppies that have eyes in the center. Stars and stippled clouds adorn the black background.

Vent art about medical trauma, ink on drawing paper

#art #artistsonbsky #traditionalart #artmoots #trending #idk #mentalhealth #medicaltrauma
An ink drawing of a complicated scene - there is black water and a red sky. In the red sky there are hatched black lines pouring out from a face floating at the top of the water. The hatches go every which way, and are eclipsed only by a single golden sun. In the water there is a face peeking out, staring at the sky with one hand gesticulating up and the other lazily drifting in the water. Besides this, there are various other organs in the black water scattered about the foreground. These include, from left to right and top to bottom, a stomach, a heart, a liver with a gallbladder, ribs, and several tubes of large intestines. These are all white with minimal shading. Written in the water in white ink are the words "OH MY OWN VOICE CANNOT SAVE ME NOW", lyrics from the song Staring at the Sun by TV on the Radio.

new icon for the socials, its my boi vasuki doing the tiktok tongue thing
A digital drawing of a man's face and left shoulder. His skin is tan with a slightly green hue and he has many moles on his face and hand. His eyes are green and yellow and slitted like a snake's. His hair is brown and pulled back in a silver hair clasp. He has an undercut, a notch and scar on his right eyebrow, and long pointed ears. There is a chunk missing out of his right ear and there is a large scar over it. He is using his middle finger to pull back a corner of his lips, showing a row of sharp, jagged teeth, and is sticking out a forked tongue. There is a crudely drawn ouroboros tattoo on his neck, and he is wearing a grey sleeveless tank top. There is a plain muted forest green as the background.

Tw gore

Sometimes you just have to let your son do extreme violence
A color illustration of a man and a bisected torso. The man is visible through the gap of the torso in the foreground. He has tanned skin, pointy, long ears, shaved sides of his head, and is wearing an eye patch over his right eye with the image of a white outlined, two-snake orobouros on it. He is wearing a simple black sleeveless turtleneck. Geometric tattoos are visible on his right arm, and his left arm, raised as if casting a spell, is grey with simple white lines running down it. He has a mildly angry expression, and his left eye is all black with a white slit and circle in the center of it. His raised hand is glowing faintly. In the foreground is a blurry image (so as to focus on the man in the background) of a man who is missing the entire center of his torso. You can see outlines of organs and viscera, however nothing is falling out yet, indicating that a spell was only just cast. The gorey insides are framing the man in the background. Beyond them are non-descript trees, and the sun is filtering through the leaves.

My lil store setup 🥺 I already made a bunch of sales today!!!!
A photo of two shelves situated within an antiques and artisan goods store. The shelves are trimmed in gold and are glass. On them are a variety of goods from a vendor called Wicked Sweet Art, including: stickers of bird-themed tarot cards, large prints featuring birds and skulls, postcards of herbs and vegetables, and matted prints on the top shelf including a black, white, red and gold self portrait, a space witch, and a succulent plant lady. There are small pink signs stuck around the supports of the shelf that are illegible in the photo except for one that says "Bird Tarot Stickers: Vinyl! Water-resistant! $3.00 each!". The other cards indicate what the prints are, prices of the postcards, and one holds a QR code linking back to the vendor's linktree.

This is the most gender photo I have ever taken of myself and it was a goof to show my brother my fucking old man yaoi metal font hat
A selfie of a white skinned non-binary person with circle gold glasses in a black and white floral button down. They are wearing a faded grey baseball cap with the words 'old man yaoi" written in a nearly illegible metal band themed font. They are tipping their hat at the camera with one hand and wearing an amused expression. The background is a slightly blurry image of a living room with a stone wall and rainbow tassels hanging from the ceiling.

His name is Mewtenant Commeownder Geordi LaForge
A zoomed in photograph of a very haunted looking black cat's face. His eyes are wide, his pupils are very small, and there is a harsh light coming from the top down, illuminating the top bits of his face and making the shadows under his eyes, ears and mouth very pronounced. His teeth are poking out slightly, giving an almost vampiric appearance.

it is crazy how much progression I've had in digital art in 3 years lmao the left is from 2022 and the right is what I'm working on now
A digital color illustration of a scene taking place in a longhouse with bunk beds. The perspective is 3/4 down, looking from behind the heads of two children, one dark skinned girl wearing overalls with short hair and the other with thick curly hair wearing a black robe and a red undershirt, sitting on a top bunk, looking down on their friends. A garden snake is in the middle of the room, launching himself at a girl with red hair, a green shirt, tan pants and blue slippers. She looks very alarmed and is turning away. On the right, there is a boy with dark skin and a half shaved head laughing, sitting on a bottom bunk. There is a railing backlit by two very large picture windows, and leaning on the railing is a boy with short cropped hair and PJs, On the left is a gorilla like creature watching the chaos unfold. A black sketchy drawing on a sepia toned background. The scene depicts two older men in their 40s and 50s and three bug-like creatures. One man is lounging across two chairs with his feet up, leaning back on the other and looking at him sidelong. He is wearing a shirt with decorative arm bands, and loose pants tucked into work boots. A cigarette is hanging out of his mouth and he has a secretive expression on his face. The other man is grading a paper on a scroll sitting at a table, holding a quill in his left hand and hiding his face with his right, not looking at the first man, but smiling. He is wearing a cloak with a fancy gold chain and a sweater underneath. The table is littered with papers and has a water carafe that is mostly empty. On the left are three bug like creatures haphazardly stacked under a cloak. The most prominent one is wearing a hat with a feather, and she looks angry. She is glaring at the first man and pushing on his legs, which are blocking a through-way.

Vignettes
A black and white sketchy drawing of a tombstone with a small pile of dirt in front of it. There is a simple shovel sticking out of the dirt. Behind the tombstone, there is a mostly drunken, unlabelled bottle of whiskey sitting in shadow. A black and white sketchy drawing of a single hand holding up a slightly bent cigarette. The hand is scarred with lichtenberg figures. A black and white sketchy drawing of an expansive room with two silhouetted figures in the center. There is light pouring out from an open door, casting long shadows towards the viewer from the silhouettes. Four teenagers stand in the corner in the shadows, also silhouetted.

Incredible
A screenshot showing two bsky posts back to back. The top one is from user Nick Lutsko (nicklutsko.bsky.social) and reads "Just want to clarify that I don't actually want to be like Dan Bongino". The post below his is from user Lolo (loloverruled.bsky.social) and is a quote post of a breaking news post from independent.co.uk with a headline reading "FBI'S Dan Bongino MIA from work after clash with Pam Bondi over Epstein files: report". The subheader reads "Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi clashed in the White House this week, a new report reveals". The quote post by Lolo simply reads "lol".

I need a moment
A digital art work in progress of two brown skinned older men from the bust up. The one on the left, a darker skinned man with unkempt salt and pepper stubble and a messy high top hairstyle wearing a purple shirt and smoking a cigarette, is leaning back on the other's shoulder, looking at him sidelong over his left shoulder. The other man has his cheek in his palm, turned slightly away from the first man, and from context clues we can see he is leaning on a surface of some sort. He is hiding his face from the other man, and he is smiling, looking down at something in front of him.

New pinned because I realized I forgot the alt text on my old one (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠) (and it has my old name)

I'm Artemis (Tem for short) and I am a #traditional #watercolor artist, among other things! You can find my portfolio at www.wickedsweet.art ✨
A colored pencil and gel pen drawing of a black skull surrounded by small white flowers with gold centers and green lily pad-esque leaves. The skulls mouth is open, and there is a green glow emanating from it, as well as its eyes. The skull is missing teeth and you can see a small segment of spine attached trailing down into the flowers A watercolor portrait painting of a woman with white and pink hair. She has yellow eyes and is looking off screen. A branch of a yellow mimosa tree is covering part of her head and cascading down her not visible shoulders. One of her hands is cupping mimosa flowers and the other is holding a goldfinch on a single finger. The colors are very vibrant but don't reach the edge of the page A vibrant watercolor painting of three birds - a pink bird with a white head, a black bird with orange and blue belly, and a black and white bird with a red belly, all possibly finches - with a background filled with various succulents. The succulents are in a gradient from yellow to red, from top to bottom. A simple watercolor portrait of a space witch she is looking at the viewer with knowing, glowing yellow eyes, and grinning slightly. Her hair is a purple galaxy filled with planets and an asteroid belt. One hand is pointing out, and at the end of her pointer finger is a tiny ringed planet standing out against a white background. She has stars in the shadows on her face and hand.

A messy pencil sketch of two older, dark skinned men, one leaning on the other, clearly asleep. The other is resting his chin on his closed fist atop a table, and it's implied that he is also falling asleep.
