Lost and Found 9/27/2025
Commentary
Hi guys. My mental state is ok I promise. I just wanted to draw something more typically terrifying LOL…
I got into Cry of Fear recently, and am beginning to check out the masterpiece that is Silent Hill, so those two served as my main inspirations.
I’d also really like to get into drawing monsters or just.. really fucked-up-looking character designs. Just to see how I can work with that kind of symbolism. I think it’d be pretty fun!

Commentary
Got really inspired by my mom’s laptop wallpaper and drew something heavily based on it! Lost the source of the image though.. :(
I’ve just been trying to make drawing fun for me again. To make something coherent and visually appealing while not worrying about being 100% original or sticking to a sketch— ‘cause holy shit, let me tell you, I am genuinely so sick of worrying about anatomy and accuracy… It just tires me out.
Anyway, an unrelated-ish observation; I think it’s funny that my previous drawing was cool-toned and set during the night, while this one is warm-toned and set during the day.

My GOD, do I love overusing certain brushes. Clouds (Scale) this one goes out to you. o7
..Seriously. I kid you not, 99% of this artwork was made using that brush alone… (It’s surprisingly very versatile!)
I wasn’t going for anything specific with this one, I just really wanted to fuck around with more nature-y scenes. It turned out so pretty. I’m really, really happy with this.

catastrophe 9/6/2025
Commentary
I’m not very good with picking out colors, so most of my art actually start out as achromatic, black and white pieces— I just tend to slap multiple color overlays on top as I continue to draw!
I find it a lot easier this way, so I can focus more on value instead of worrying about unity and hues and shit like that. And if I don’t like the colors I picked? Then I can just change the overlay layer! Wow! Isn’t that convenient!
I couldn’t help but wonder, though.. What would my art look like without those overlays? So I tried it out! (Ignore the fact that this is slightly tinted blue. Ok. You didn’t see anything.) And I quite like it!
Remembering that Decalius comment a classmate of mine made, this really does look like a metal(or some other alternative genre) album cover. I even tried adding text to it so I could lean into it, but it wasn’t as pretty as I’d hoped..

Bright Sky, Dark Sea 8/20/2025
Commentary
Made this one during a horrible day.. It was originally going to be a lot more scary-looking than this, but it ended up looking pretty peaceful.
..Not much to say, honestly. I just like how it looks. Does give me a sense of calmness when I look at it, too, so it serves its purpose well.

Parasite 8/19/2025
Commentary
I based this one on a nightmare I had recently. I don’t have dreams/nightmares often nor as vividly as I do now, so it was fucking terrifying to me.
It was a regular day, as if I wasn’t dreaming and was instead awake. Everything was rather irrelevant and mundane, as I went to go rinse off an apple I was planning to eat.
Then, with my hand under the running faucet, I noticed this strange worm-like bug on my hand. I couldn’t feel it. I was weirded out, but not too scared. Until I realized it wasn’t washing away. How could it? The thing was in my skin!
No shit I was scared by then. I watched it move around, revolting me even more, then I tried to pull it out. But it was to no avail. Then the dream ended!
I can psychoanalyze myself about this for hours, but that’s a story for another time.. Afterwards, I thought the imagery and possible symbolism was metal as fuck so I decided to put my fear on paper (iPad, actually). I photobashed a picture of my hand and a parasitic worm for this. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

I Regret Nothing 8/12/2025

Metamorphosis 8/12/2025
Commentary
I love the color blue, I love butterflies, I love caterpillars, I love chrysalises. And I really, really love this artwork. It brings me joy to have made it and to see it!
This was heavily inspired by my website’s layout and overall concept (to serve as a place of fluid, free change). Duh. That’s pretty obvious. :P
I just looove this one so much. I used a random photograph of a monarch butterfly and chrysalises for the background, put butterflies using ibisPaint’s swallowtail brush, and used the table filter to make a grid-like texture. I also used an excerpt from Wikipedia for the text!.. Though it’s rather hard to tell that it’s text. Which is the entire point, so it’s fine.
Now that I’ve made this, I realize.. Damn. My art would make amazing wallpapers. I might end up making more just for that purpose!

Hellfire 8/11/2025
Commentary
Was feeling like shit and made this to distract myself. :”) This “being Undiagnosed, Unmedicated, and Unstable” thing is hard!! At least I have art I guess.
This one started out as a black and white piece, formatted kind of like a typical screen print poster— Black border, sleek text on top, some items (a gun, some claw marks) within, circular shapes, and a helluva lot of texture… I don’t remember what happened halfway through. ^_^”
Obviously the claw marks and texture stayed, but the objects and achromatics got replaced with hellfire. If you look close enough, you can still see the circular shapes (now more similar to arcs..), but they’re not the focus anymore.
Now, about whatever the fuck this could possibly mean.. I’m not very religious, though I can’t help but think of Hell from time to time. I don’t like the concept, honestly. I can’t put it into words, but it haunts me. I guess this is a visual extension of that fear. It's me, scrawling what it could be to rid myself of the thought.
I try my best to be good and to do good, but I know for a fact that I’ve fucked up many things before, and that I will continue to do so. It’s a part of being human. I don’t want to end up eternally punished for it, though… Many parts of life feel “eternally punishing” enough, haha..

Deep Within 8/9/2025
Commentary
Initially, I had no idea where I was going with this. I was just feeling dangerously low, opened up ibisPaint, and started out with a blue-green tinted background.
At first.. I think I was going for the feeling of loneliness? But then I drew something that looked similar to a spine and went “Oh shit that goes hard.”. HAHAH..
So, here we are! I was going to mope about how lonely I was, but I ended up moping about how ingrained everything is. And it does indeed go hard.
When you feel something or think something for so long, you start to believe it’s a part of you. Past your flesh and carved, bruised into your bone marrow. It’s not an organ you can take out, not blood you can drain, no, it’s your entire damn foundation. It’s the thing that grounds you and provides a basis to keep moving.
I just keep on thinking these things, “I’m an angry person”, “I’m a miserable person”, when I’m really just a person! The things that plague me do not encapsulate me, even if it feels like it, even if it feels like it’s deep within my being. I needed catharsis and a reality check, and this piece served me well in that.

JUST THE MEAT 8/9/2025
Commentary
RAHHH I LOVE JESUS LOVES JUNKIES!!! AND I LOVE MY NEW ABSTRACT ARTSTYLE!!
..Or, put more elegantly; Here’s an abstract-ish piece meant as fanart for JLJ’s song, Just The Meat! :)
A good friend of mine described Just The Meat as an “identity crisis” once. I think I agree, especially with the lyrics “You picked the perfect time to fuck things up / You picked the perfect time to grow”, “Time to pretend that you're someone”, “Time to defend what you've become”…
There is no true identity. There are no true thoughts. Just the body and cruel base instincts— The meat, if you will. Just your flesh, your skin, your bones, your nerves, and the false persona others construct of you, of which you try to conform to. I think those kinds of things are very interesting!
For this, I used a stock photo of meat as the background, ibisPaint’s bones brush, and a shit ton of textured brushes/erasers.

Lyrics/text are from the song Just The Meat by Jesus Loves Junkies.. Obviously. :P

forever 8/9/2025
Commentary
Got plagued with the anxious feeling of cycles, loops, and eternity one night, and in a fit of terror, made this.
The concept of “forever” is fucking terrifying, I think. Not getting worse, not getting better, not changing— Just a flat circle and continuous loop of the same shit over and over again ’til the end of time. It feels hopeless. It feels internally degrading. I used this to express that. I hope it comes across well.
Anyhoo— My first finished piece with this new experimental abstract (?) style! It was really fun and freeing to make this, actually.. Took me around an hour and I felt lighter after making it. If that makes sense.
I was really inspired by the visual direction for Postal 1997, some of my favorite bands’ album cover art (Chemlab, Jesus Loves Junkies, some NIN..), and horror stuff in general.
I think it’s obvious, too, and I’m actually proud of that! ‘Cause, holy shit, it is hard for me to give digital art that kind of texture. It was even harder deciding on the colors. I spent like most of my time fucking around with overlays.. Worth it, though.
