A cover of mantis. It is an X-ray of a chest and says mantis, a horror solo rpg of sexual cannibalism by witty Volkova

A photo of a bloodied witty in a white dress with a giger pattern background

If a solo horror rpg zine game about being an alien who reflects what men want to see in order to consume them sounds up your alley, have I got the game for you

Photo of a danish, a mug of chai, a sketchbook of watercolor plants and bugs, and a laptop with wallpaper of the painting “La Belle Dame Sans Merci”, which depicts a beautiful woman on a horse leaning down to a helmetless knight walking beside her

Romanticizing my life a lil

HAHAHAHAH

I’ve always desperately empathized with Vincent but man the do I strongly relate to the urge to eat the color yellow today 🫠

My first try I wanted to make him seem sadder, a little more peaceful, whereas the second I was staying truer to the og reference and I think the proportions are better too! I might add more cool tones to the skin, as I like those colors in the first version

Side by side comparisons of watercolor paintings of Jacob Elordi’s “creature” from Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein film. The character has grey skin with blue, yellow, and green undertones, limp brown hair, a blue collar, a fur coat, and red scars all over his face

I love GDT’s Frankenstein so I painted the creature back in December, then my mom wanted to gift it to a friend so I just painted myself a new one this past week and it’s really interesting to see the differences, having worked off of the same reference image months apart

Page of watercolor paintings of a duckling, a leaf, a cracked egg, a bee, and flowers, all of which are yellow in color

She’s a bad awful cat and someday I will make her into soup for her numerous felonies 😭

She’s totally fine, but I’m gonna get a new bitter apple spray to spritz all cords with because her favorite hobby is gnawing on them and it freaks me out 😭

Plugged in my laptop charger and apparently my cat chewed through part of it because it started SPARKING???

ANYWAY I’m not a scientist but genetics are just so cool and weird even if I feel like I barely understand an infinitesimal fraction of it. Please look up these things yourself because they can lead to rad rabbit holes lol

(Of course weirdos could also take these silly spiritual things or real scientific theories and the Baldwin effect and shit and use it to justify eugenics and racial essentialism and stuff, which ruins it for EVERYONE and we should always swiftly kick anyone who does that!!!)

those connections decades apart.

my ancestors were passionate about, their hobbies, or their trades, could be passed down to me through a shared lineage. Like a spiritual connection that maybe could be backed up by science, haha

We still have artwork from relatives who are long gone too, and it’s cool to both see and feel—

more innately to some rather than others due to generations of honing skills.

I honestly just think that growing up with a parent who was an artist just introduced me to skills and techniques that other children my age wouldn’t be introduced to for years, but it was def fun to think that what—

His great grandparents were both painters, his mother is artistic and a painter, he is artistic (and a graphic design professor), and I also from a young age was considered “good” at art, and that while anyone can learn to be an amazing artist, maybe the skill or dexterity and technique can come—

I can’t remember if this is at all related to epigenetic theories or is just funky dna coding over long periods of evolution, but I just love it 😭

I remember my dad telling me about epigenetics as a kid, but trying to explain it in a way I could understand and as an example, talked about how—

One thing that fascinates me about genetics is that if you take a weaver bird, raise them in captivity or only with non-weaver birds with no example of how to build their special nests, that adult weaver bird will still instinctually build their little basket nests

Like. Wow?

A watercolour painting of two coelacanth. They are covered in sparkles instead of different coloured scales. The one in front has the realistic colouring of navy and white, the one behind has inverted colours.

Sparkles ✨ #repostyourart #art

The reviews are horrible but they just don’t understand real art

I made all my friends watch it when I was a teenager lol it’s seriously great

You’ve heard of High School Musical. You’ve heard of HSM2. You’ve heard of HSM3: Senior Year. You’ve heard of HSMTMTS.

But if you haven’t seen High School Musical China you have seriously missed out 🙂‍↕️

Final one of this Greek Myth quartet (although i have other myth pieces) MINOTAUR
I added subtle engraved labyrinth patterns to his horns, the ball of thread in his eye as hints to the myth. These were a personal project that I really enjoyed making, my recent project HEXCODE is a sort of sequel.

Please be aware of what’s happening in Lebanon. It is literally an evasion, they are going to annex the south of Lebanon, please don’t stop talking about this. Don’t let them get away with committing another genocide

I’m gonna feed my squirrels and I’m gonna do my homework and I’m gonna take my meds and I’m gonna do my best to survive

She is TAILLESS and she is PREGNANT and she is BEAUTIFUL 🐿️

He was also NOT having it when I ran out of peanuts. Literally kept trying to climb into my backpack and under my knees looking for more. He had MORE than enough, extremely naughty behavior

This lil guy consistently shows up and is always the boldest of the squirrels on campus. He’s so chill but always grabbing my hand like sir, we do NOT know each other like that you’re not supposed to do that 😭
