The Insta purge has begun. At the end of this month, if I post, that same post will be deleted in 48 hours. It won't protect me, but I also won't feed Meta 8 years of posts without my express consent. Anyone still there, I'd encourage to do the same. #noai #artistsfirst #creatorsupport

#mabsdrawlloweenclub Lantern... Jack-o'-lantern, of the Horseman. I really like the pumpkin and the hands here the most #halloweenart #pumpkin #inkdrawing #ballpointpen

#mabsdrawlloweenclub Vile Viper It took a minute to nail this down; been awake for ≈ 36 hours. Very Souls boss second stage coded. #bodyhorror #snake #darksouls #darkfantasy

#mabsdrawlloweenclub Mirror I'm super stoked with this one. Love the pose and idea #undead #horror #bodyhorror #vanity

A little recap for October Ink so far. Missing a couple that I felt were a little more weak #inkdrawing #ink #ballpoint #ballpointpendrawing #horrorsurrealart

#mabsdrawlloweenclub yokai Kinda just evolved out of a silhouette and I couldn't be more pleased. Couldn't tell you what KIND of yokai but I feel it fits the bill #yokai #inkdrawing #ballpoint #ballpointpen

#mabsdrawlloweenclub Jabberwocky Slithy with claws that catch frumious Bandersnatch, to be dispatched with the snickering vorpal blade #inkdrawing #ballpoint #ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing

#mabsdrawlloweenclub haunted house "The house shivered and split, sundered by a hollow bellow, a rattling of splintered bones and ancient dust. Even more horrifying was it's descent from the stony outcrop in the woods..." #horror #horrorsurrealart #eldritchhorror #witchart

Inks #sketch

#witchtober Eyeball "The first hurdle on the path to becoming a Seer is overcoming the assault of the psychic landscape. Eyes tend to be a common manifestation for those seeking the Third Eye..." #horrorart #horrorsurrealart #witchart #eyeball

#mabsdrawlloweenclub 7: Grave... of the Seraph 'A massive edifice crafted in stone through presumably arcane means. Even the necromancers can't dredge up the technique for doing so #inkdrawing #ballpoint #ballpointpen #eldritch

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

#mabsdrawlloweenclub Mushroom. Fungi kind of prompts are usually just free for me however a certain little furry friend decided my sketchbook and pen were toys haha, then napped on them. #inkdrawing #ballpoint #ballpointpen #fungi

#witchtober Skull 'The osteomancers who perform the Torture of the Flayed Skull are highly prized amongst the highest eschelons of the Death Throne empire..' #bodyhorror #horror #horrorsurrealart #inkdrawing

#mabsdrawlloween Owl I really enjoyed the posing on this but wish I'd gotten the first sketch nailed a bit more; it was more dynamic and page cramping got the best of me #owl #horror #horrorsurrealart #cryptid

October Inkiness Day 3: Melt from #witchtober I'm really happy with this outcome; the flesh candle combo feels solid and delightfully creepy. #horror #horrorart #inkdrawing #ballpointpen

#drawlloween 2: Vampire Flip flopping between Drawlloween and Witchtober, but still all ballpoint goodness #ballpoint #ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing #inkdrawing

#witchtober 1: Claw Awareness of creators outside their creations often ruins something communities have made soar. Looking at you Inktober. Cool concept, ass-bag creator. This do I step away. #inkdrawing #ballpoint #ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing

The Great Witch-tree I really like this one. Things feel good, the scale hits right, the light is buttery and the mood is ominous. Preem. Spooky season, one of your Chosen is here. #landscape #landscapestudy #eerieart #environmentpainting #speedpaint

A couple of OCs for @br0.nz and @gaypunkrock.com Thanks for having me work on these! Very enjoyable and some unique creations #dragon #dragonart #commissions #OC

The King Calls Started as a study of a particular lighting that can happen around storms, ended as a nod to Hastur #eldritch #thekinginyellow #hastur #landscape #landscapestudy

Autumn Ridge The trees weep their golden burden to sleep into new life. #landscape #landscapesketch #landscapestudy #landscapepainting #autumn

Salt spire desert Really happy with the atmosphere fade and the distance. The foreground could've been thought out more though but it still works #fantasy #fantasyart #landscape #landscapepainting #impressionism

Pastoral Dead Marshes Night time speedpaint, yet another impressionist study for color use tweaked in a way that I enjoy #lotr #fantasy #fantasyart #impressionism #landscape

Guild Navigator x Samus Aran Kinda evolved out of blobs of color and a faint idea. Might have another go, but shape language is inspired from old Dune concepts, Polish surrealists and Metroid. #surreal #cosmichorror #speedpaint #concept #weirdart

Hey Artists! Share something!

Hey Artists, share something!

ngl, every day I spend in the AI hellmouth makes me feel more and more like a demigod for being able to draw with my own two human hands, and I think every other artist should feel that way too

Food for Thought "This strange, rare species feeds directly on brainwaves through a horrific orifice on the top of the serpent's head. The unfolding of this second mouth is deeply unsettling..." #dragon #dragonart #fantasyart #fantasy #horrorsurrealart

Dread Void, Door of Devastation, Crawling Emptiness Apocalypse has spoken #angel #angelofdeath #speedpaint #concept #wip

Eyeless Serpent A fresh color thought in this newer technique. Working more like colored pencils. #dragon #dragonart #dragons #fantasyart #wip

The Mountain Speaks A special birthday card for my sibling. I like what happened here. There was a lot of foundation sketching to get to this. #dragon #dragonart #fantasy #fantasyart #toneddrawing

Arctic Eldritch Minimal In the cold wastes, the end descends in silence and absence #minimalist #liminalhorror #eldritch #eldritchhorror #lovecraftian

Speed paint Concept sketch for a new world building idea. Heavily inspired by Beksinski

If you see this, Post a monster!

It That Sunders The Sky A sky splitting vision of doom, a chorus of destruction, fever-dream of the ending I'm probably sick and in a dark mood #angel #horrorsurrealart #horrorart #horror #eldritchhorror

Anamoly Eldritch horror speed paint for today. There's 'fingers' involved and an internal space. That's all I know. Maybe it's the thing the Two Fingers are connected to in Elden Ring #painting #eldritch #eldritchhorror #weirdart #surreal

Eldrazi speed paint to try to relax. It's only the start of the weekend and things have been crazy. Wish me luck; I need sleep #mtg #mtgfanart #emrakul #fantasy #eldritch

Dailies with Dustbot! It's slow going on the art front. This princess is demanding a lot of attention and energy #dragon #dragonart #fantasyart #fantasy #kitten

Dailies with Dustbot! Last Light Before the Coming of the Old Gods... "The thunderous dirge surged across the land. On the head, the beacon spun as it always had, a light warning of dangerous shores..." #lovecraftian #eldritch #eldritchhorror #surrealism #impressionism

A small #smaugust recap; I love this challenge. It wasn't something I was able to nail all 31 days due to my lovely tenosynovitis issues however I'm really happy with the results regardless. This may become something larger and you can expect some more to bleed into September #dragon #dragonart

Dailies with Dustbot! Final day of #smaugust 'The serpents are the apex predators in the jungles, keyed to finding warm-blooded prey. Given the extreme internal heat of most dragonkin, naturalists theorize these animals actively hunt other dragons...' #smaugust2026 #dragon #dragonart #fantasy

The rules of the house. (I'll make 'em into stickers if they get passed around enough)

Dailies with Dustbot! Eyeless serpent of the jungles Another pass on yesterday; taking the heat sensing apparatus of a constrictor and applying to dragon #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon #dragonart #fantasy

Dailies with Dustbot! A #smaugust wip Big comfy serpent. Might get wings... haven't decided yet. #dragonart #fantasy #dragon #wip

Dailies with Dustbot! I can show a little of the concept stuff I'm working on in the background. Long art project in a dark fantasy vein #darkfantasy #fantasy #demon #angel #fallenangel #conceptart

Dailies with Dustbot! An elder night fairy and the massive Veldt Aurochs or jotunnox, a prey species for my dragons inspired by the extinct aurochs of Europe and steppe bison, with a little muskox thrown in. #fairy #fairysketch #fantasy #fantasysketch #pencilsketch

Dailies with Dustbot, #smaugust Edition 'The large nostrils are used to track carrion across many miles. This species also has shockingly poor eyesight among dragon kind...' Tried to add a little color to my usual technique #fantasyart #dragon #dragonart #smaugust2026
