Digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: The Host of Anguish. The subject is a humanoid creature shown from the waist up, with at least 6 arms and a horse skull head on a long neck of stylized plant roots. More hands and arms are emerging from its expansive, twisting and tearing flesh to cover most of the lower half of the canvas. All of the hands are grabbing and reaching out as if in crisis. A large, deep hole is in its upper chest, torn flesh as its border. The piece is shaded using extensive, precise crosshatching.
All of my prints are 25% off! Could use a few more orders this month~

Gabriel stands on top of a hand over hand bar climb spanning a river with rapids in a deep ravine. He has his hands out trying to keep his balance
Today's illustration for my dark fantasy novel in progress, the one about Mercy and her lover Gabriel. The first book is mostly their teen to young adult years, ending when they are both adults.
Portfolioday always seems to be when I'm too brain-tired and utterly flattened by the soul crushing day job to participate. This simultaneously makes me want to draw when I can't and too sad to draw when I do have time.
But it is nice seeing everyone's lovely work trickle past on my sanity breaks 💚
It's fantastic. Embrace the goo.
A wood engraved of pentre ifan
One of the artists that really took my breath away at the Hay on Wye printers fair was Kath Littler
Seeing her astoundingly detailed carvings on blocks of wood was really cool!
Maybe one day I’ll treat myself to a print

Loving that wood texture, I can practically feel the grain.
Line art from two in-progress comic panels. In the first, a woman taps at a keyboard dispondently. A biomechanical mass of tendrils and wires rises from the ground next to her. In the second panel, the biomass rises up behind the woman and tarts to form shapes and structures.
Line art in progress - Just a normal day in a normal office.

Digital color illustration, primarily in muted blues and soft sage to yellow. Title at bottom: The Purveyor of Murmurs. A portrait of a humanoid wearing draping robes and jewelry. They have 6 fingers on each hand, a neck made of long flowing hair, and a head that is a deer-like skull with fangs. They have no lower jaw. They have twisting vine-like antlers. They are holding a staff whose shaft is twisting vines and is topped with numerous fingers in a layered flower bud arrangement.
Digital black and white illustration using intricate line work and crosshatching, title at bottom: Relent To Ruin. A humanoid figure lies at the bottom of the canvas, entangled in gnarled, twisting tendrils and roots. They are facing up and thrashing as their head, which is a horse skull, is being obliterated by many punching downward fists. The entity above them doing the punching is just a mass of arms and hands and fingers coming out of a center, with solid black fluid pouring out from its center into and over the broken skull. More black streams flow from the center straight out to the top and sides of the canvas, defying gravity.
digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

A brush and ink illustration of a creature that vaguely resembles a unicorn, made from human arms, face, and monstrous parts as well. It's prancing merrily through a forest of craggly trees embedded with human skulls. There's a shrine to a king who killed a serpent in the background too.
It's #NationalUnicornDay!
Does this count?
This was based on a dream I had about seeing a unicorn, and the closer it got to me, the weirder it got.
This is from 2019, brush and ink.
Some recent pages of my webcomic that I loved drawing...

A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.
Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.
Many happy returns!
Haha, we were there one November (coinciding with thoughtbubble), it was absolutely hammering it down with rain and the queue was still over an hour. The staff felt real bad and were handing out brollies to people!
A little black and white ghost from York.
The little ghost shop in York is one of my favourite places in the world. I picked up this friend there, myself.
Digital illustration of a medieval bestiary inspired orange mermaid holding a banner reading 'sick does not equal lazy' (using the does not equal symbol). She has visible scars, stretch marks and bags under her eyes and is smiling.
Sick does not equal lazy no matter what the fucking government says.
Microprose made me an unabashed save-scummer with UFO Enemy Unknown back in the glorious 90s, when X-Com still had a hyphen. I think it may have been SSI's goldbox games before that that started it for me, but it was UFO that shifted it from an act of secret shame to a brazen way of life. 💾💾💾
Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”
Chocolate Easter bunny with a chocolate Alien xenomorph face hugger attached, and a second chocolate xenomorph egg is still unopened. Today is not going to end well.
Errrr, I seem to be having a problem with a couple of my Easter eggs…
I am seen.
Superb. The Scar is by far my favourite Mieville (I so desperately yearn for an Armada-style ocean scavenging city builder game, and there are a few that come close but none that his the mark), and Bellis Coldwine is a character that will always stick with me.
Pixelart of a skeleton saint marching forwad out of a dark background, her skull surrounded by a halo, a gesture of incorporeal open palms, clouds parting above her head to reveal descending light. Her right hand is covered in wax and raised in a blessing gesture, a candle flame burning above the index and middle finger. White garment is draped over a decidedly non-skeletal silhouette, and with her left hand the saint tucks it out of the way to reveal crimson blood swirling around her bones and shaping into a body made of blood (knee high at the moment) To her right a sword hangs on a string, and to her left - three red teardrop outlines.
