Reposting this cuz I’m still super proud of it 🫡
Ahhhh I just wanted to try painting and ended up making a fishmen scene but I love it <3
(Progress pics, speed paint, close up under break)
I was sitting in a car on a roadtrip, procrastinating studying, and I had this highlighter from somewhere in my bag and some grey markers I bought earlier.
The only problem was that I was inking, in a car... at night, with a really bad car light. Luckily I had done the sketch at day time. You can’t imagine how aesthetic but unsettling it was seeing the pitch black forest outside the window though
I tried to take a photo but this is the best I got
The back contains a poem I wrote about aromanticism as someone who’s questioning but also desperately wants to experience that fairytale love stories
Interesting piece… ☝🏻
The Witching Hour by Andrew Wyeth (ca. 1977).

What a wonderful night for a quick throwback! I'd like to introduce you to the game which started my Spooktober journey.
You play as Penelope, who's just about ready to give up on her dream of being a singer, until she finds an audition notice for the opportunity of a lifetime... An audition for a reality TV show on a private island which turns into a fight to survive and may see some dark truths come to light.
Truly Sublime was created for the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam two years ago and it's nice to look back on it. Back then, this was my second game that I had published so it's got a couple of rough edges but I want to leave it as it is until I get time to make a shiny, better version.
There was so much cut from the game to make it work in the jam's timeframe so it might be a fun one to return to one day and explore the untold stories, especially with the character Lucinda. She had her own story and endings planned too.
Thanks for checking out my nostalgia ramble and I hope you're having a lovely Autumn evening!
Cheers for stopping by and take care!
In case you were wondering what my pfp is, it's this horrible creation! I did an object study of a plaster mold of my teeth from when I was getting pre-braces as a kid. This is not that mold, but a close mimicry! It's air dry clay and creek quartzite with a piece of brain coral and it keeps me company at my desk
Why are you here? Why are you looking at it? you should turn back. you MUST turn back. Oh, the candles? Those are nothing. Just some idiot teenagers, that's all.

You get that feeling when you're near to it, don't you. the feeling that you will get swallowed whole by something just outside of your peripheral. We all get that paranoia when we go too deep in the woods. You're better off not worrying about it.
