It's finally here! 🦋
Perfect present for myself
#theotherhappyplace

A hallway with a tiled floor curves away into darkness, the cracked walls are decorated with strange black and white photos the ceiling is a mess of pipes and wires

A perfectly normal hallway

#theotherhappyplace

A sharply dressed man sits in a dark, colorless stairway with a menacing smile shared by his shadow that complements his confident pose. Above that grin, the top half of his head is replaced by an amalgamation of insect legs and colorful butterfly wings. On the wall next to him, a massive centipede sprawls beyond the borders of the image. A mural above it is cut off.

Slowly posting my semi-old art here instead of having be solely on that other site that I’ll probably delete actually

@theotherhappyplace.bsky.social ‘s character Mr. Smiles with an absolutely incredible design that I adore so much

#art #artist #digitalart #digitalpainting #theotherhappyplace

A tall slender woman holding a man to her chest. She is gently smiling and has her hands over his eyes. He is smiling too. She is dressed in an interesting kind of formal wear, his shirt is open and falling off. She has a hand on his chest but the hand is now a cluster of leeches or worms some of which are piercing his chest. The woman has no head from above her mouth. Instead thr space is crammed with compound eyes and a small forest of probiscus. Atop this rests a bright yellow butterfly that glows ominously

"All mine"
#theotherhappyplace

A tall slender woman with a strange mask/headgear of sparkling spikes. She embraces a swooning man who smiles serenely as he leans into her chest. Her gloved hand covers his eyes. Her other hand rests on his chest. His shirt is open and falling off

Mine

This freaking guy.

#theotherhappyplace

Some strange brutalist industrial city lit only by a single strange lamp installed on a wall. Stairs ascend upwards into darkness.

Lost
#theotherhappyplace

Illustration of a tall narrow staircase. We are at the top looking down as it descends. The ceiling is high and far away lit distantly with ceiling lamps casting vertical shafts of light. The walls on each side are high and close together. The image is entirely in grayscale except for a colorful mural of a butterfly, each wing of rhe mural extends onto one wall alongside. At the bottom of the stairs is an open door leading to an ominous darkness. Just barely seen is a man standing there his arms and hands extend out into the light welcoming. But the rest of him is in shadow. Around him escapes a small group of white butterflies. The Bannisters on both sides of the walls are depicted as oversized metallic centipedes

"Come on down"

#theotherhappyplace

A reclining woman who is nude. Her arms end in black eel like worm like tendrils. So do her legs. She sports a serene sly smile. Above her head is a floating yellow red and blue butterfly from above her mouth she has no head but instead a cluster of compound eyes and butterfly probiscus rise from the place her head should be

A gentleman's hand posed gracefully with a glowing butterfly alight on one of his fingertips. A centipede winds and warps it's way around his palm and wrist disappearing into his sleeve

"The new winner"
#theotherhappyplace

An attractive naked man, but from above his mouth he has no head, instead there are spider legs and a butterfly

Okay this is a nude of Mr. Smiles. Don't unblur unless you want to see a naked guy! #nsfw #theotherhappyplace

Mostly monochrome illustration of a man in a suit without a jacket with his arms crossed. He smiles a little smugly. From above his mouth there is no head and it is instead a hole with arachnid legs crawling out of it. The only color in the image is from a yellow glowing butterfly with red and blue markings nestled into his head hole

A black and white illustration of a pinned butterfly collection but at the center a man is pinned. The glass above the case reflects a streak of red yellow and blue

"The collection"
#theotherhappyplace
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

A mostly black and white illustration of a man in a suit. His fingers laced together in front of him as he rests his elbows on the table in front of him. He smiled charmingly. However from above his mouth he had no head, from the hole where the rest of his head should be sprout arachnid like legs and a glowing strange butterfly the only part of the image in color. The butterfly is yellow red and blue.

"Tell me all about it."
#theotherhappyplace

A man drawn in black and white smiles at the viewer from the mouth up he has no head and it is replaced by a glowing butterfly and arachnid like legs Yellow text reads "Let me talk to the real you" The man replies "hmm? Him? Hmm. Not much left really, boring fellow, boring boring." The interviewer asks "please"

The man throws himself around screaming in horror and agony as he grips the edge of the hole where the rest of his head should be. He flails making after images of himself all around. The spider legs remain but the butterfly is gone. The view is slightly marred by static. A caption in yellow says "screaming"

The man is calm again fixing his tie. The butterfly is back. He says "i told you he was boring. He never smiled much. "

A short interview with Mr. Smiles.

"The party is over, but oh, my mask is stuck!"

#theotherhappyplace

Row of statues of women with their faces destroyed by various bugs and bug like structures. Over some brutalist structures and a series of butterflies fly overhead

"Reverence"
#theotherhappyplace

A handsome man in fancy dress clothes walks towards the viewer. He is smiling and posing dramatically. He is rendered in black and white while the rest of the scene is in primary colors. From above his mouth the man has no head, from the hole emerges a series of LARGE arachnid like legs and huge undulating red centipedes. Above those hovers a giant butterfly primarily yellow with accents of electric blue and neon red. The butterfly glows. Smaller duplicates of this butterfly fly around the central man joyously. The background is black with faint glowing rainbows of red yellow and blue. The floor is black checkered with blue and red where there is no black

His Arrival

#theotherhappyplace

The caterpillar falls through a world of stars and clouds

"He kept falling and falling. Where would he go?"
#theotherhappyplace

A picture book style illustration of a little yellow red and blue caterpillar in a thorny framed scene thr distance shows an endless field of craters and spiked mountains the sky is an entirely enclosed dark cloudy mass, poking through the clouds are giant skull like bird like monstrous beaks or snouts. Searching the craters. Text reads "The poor little caterpillar was in constant danger, and he had nothing to eat but thorns. How would he ever grow up safe into a butterfly? He would have to find a new home..."

Was the basement always this big? #theotherhappyplace

Digital illustration done to resemble an antique woodcut print. Depicting a woman in a loose dress standing in a vast landscape of craters and sharp mountains. She has butterfly wings on her back like an angel and above her is a halo of stars. She has no head or at least it appears to be mostly gone but it is covered in a small cloth that shows the area where her head should be is collapsed and gone. She has her hands in a "as above so below" gesture. The sky is black and low towards the horizon is an eclipsed sun

"Do not cling to what you were, We will make you so much more."
