Work in progress of a skeletal thin being with a multi-libed helmet with several lenses embedded in in front of a biomechanical framed stained glass looking set of windows

Day 2 and yes a slow, fiddly bits piece that will take up this week

A dismantled pink haired man with artificial insect wings as ears and robotic parts looks down at his missing arms. His torso opens, revealing a spine and a bouquet of flowers. A red stain under him rises as trees beside him, and a red halo is behind his head.

I forgot to post this one last week 🙃

Yk, these surreal random nonsense from my sketchbook are quite the challenge to describe in alt text! Half the time I don't even know what they mean 🤣

👁️🌸Technology bloom🌸👁️ "And it became sentient, it became conscious, it prayed to Gods older than mankind, and the Gods allow it to bloom." ____ A creature part flower, part robot, part eldrich monster is standing looking at the viewer. It has a camera lens instead of a face and an eye on each petal, a camera lens inside the eye instead of an iris. Its hands are hold togueter in prayer, while cables come out of its body and rise like trees beside at its sides.

Sketchbook spread showing one of my Uhms chracters sitting in a bed hidding from a giant eye looking throw a window, there's 3 black blobs around and a willow tree growing next to the bed.

#repostyourart Day 12: Cosy

I know I'm grasping at straws here but I make horror surrealism, not cosy art 🙈

A haunting, painterly portrait of a figure wearing iconic Joker-style makeup, though the face is undergoing a violent, surreal transformation. The subject has long, matted dark green hair and pale white face paint. A bright red, exaggerated grin is painted over the mouth, and a single blue diamond shape surrounds the visible left eye, which stares forward with a piercing, pale blue intensity. The right side of the face is erupting or disintegrating into a dense, chaotic explosion of red, splinter-like shards and jagged textures that mimic the appearance of raw muscle or shattered wood. These red protrusions burst outward, obscuring the right eye and cheek, creating a sense of internal pressure breaking through the skin. The brushwork is expressive and textured, with visible strokes and splatters of beige, tan, and cream in the background that suggest a gritty, industrial setting. The lighting is focused on the central facial features, casting the periphery into soft, murky shadows. Keywords: Joker, horror, shattered, surrealism, green hair, clown makeup, red shards, transformation, chaotic, expressive brushwork, psychological, dark art.

Pen drawing of a hairless figure with bone ridges down their skull in place of hair, that has their back to the viewer with a series of glowing swirl and arcing line tattoos across their skin while their body flows into roots. Around and entangling them are a series of blue gem filled, black structures that converge where their legs would be as they float above a world. There are streamers of energy rising from the planet and criss-crossing it while various symbols float in the blue and purple sky.

Pen drawing of a figure in a sitting position with a headpiece of biomechanical growth around their head like a solid halo with eyes with slitted pupils arrayed around it, while their face looks like crumbled stone that looks in on a void filled with black stars. Cracks line the face and root like growths flow from their neck and under the stone like pieces that make up their body. One hand points at the viewer while the other rests on their lap and leaks the black of space, complete with stars that pools by their feet, though three beings made of that substance rise out of the puddle. Their throne looks to be made up of stone or bone rib like structures with some cathedral like elements and it rises up to a series of stone structures. Floating above these structures, set against a purple and plasma pink sky that rises up into a starscape.

A person with a lab coat and a white fabric mask is standing next to another person dissapearing behind a lightbulb inside a room with red walls and iron door. Another person with a hoodie and a gas mask is infront of them crouching on a platform.

Did this back when I realised how much I like to work on a full spread instead of single pages, also the time when I realised how much I dislike sketchbooks that doesn't open flat 😅

"The old forest god" "And in the stillness of the woods, the Old Forest God returned to reclaim his dominion..." _____ A horror creature is coming out of a bright portal in the middle of the woods, his upper body looks humanoid, his lower body beast like. There's a gape in his belly and a tentacle is coming out of it. His head is crown with antlers and a bright red halo.

Yeah between work and my body mutinying I forgot I was doing #repostyourart 😅

Anyway! Day 9: Light!

"The fisherman by the lake" "See? Told you we should wait for migration season! These nosey guys can't resist to see what's going on. No need for lures nor nets! Easy catch!" ____ A fisherman is holding two big creatures with the body of a fish and the face of a human. He's standing by a lake with red water, more human-face fishes are poking their head out the lake. In the distance 3 giant eldrich creatures walk among the mountains below a yellow sky with red sun.

Ooooohh almost forgot #repostyourart 🙃

Pen drawing of a multi-story tall alien being with vaguely owl-like features, but an extended vertical mouth rather than a beak, and wearing long, flowing robes is standing on the edge of a shore of a lake that backs into a forest with a moose and an owl in the foreground. The sky is made up of an aurora filled sky with cracks of the black of space filled with stars across it while a large pure white moon or a portal like structure hangs in the sky. Behind the being is a saucer shaped craft while another hangs in the air in the distance.

Curious what was behind the curtain they couldn't resist peeking through
