NameVoid

A new piece that I recently submitted to a local museum for their local artists' show. I have been getting into acrylic painting more lately.

Was asked to make this 22'x4' for a recent protest rally.

Some odds and ends of the Obsidian Witch who claims to be the Hope of legend. Someday I might actually make the graphic novel I've been thinking about since 2020, if I can get over myself long enough to do so :/

Not an easy job...

I apologize for the absence. Here's a thing:

"A rolling stone gathers no moss, and a walking corpse, no rot."

If there is no spoon then you need to turn around and do dishes probably.

I catastrophically messed up what was going to be a tattoo on the thigh. Reference image was some AI slop I found on the undead Internet.

It's been about ten months (sorry) since I've made any art to post here, but I'm glad to finally have made art again. I have spent the intervening time mostly working on learning the GzDoom engine in the Hope I might one day indie dev a game, as is my dream... and hibernating 😅

I am still alive. Things got weird. Hopefully I'll be posting art again soon.

It is incredibly hard to stay motivated to make art. I haven't been able to lately.

From a while ago, back when my idea for a graphic novel was a little more anime-like. Was trying stuff with neon sharpies that are fluorescent under blacklight. These are not edited other than being cropped.

Deep within the oldest sectors of the Tower, the Engineer continues to tinker. He did not make the Tower directly, but he is the grandfather of the dreaded machines that did. His dark purpose now complete, he hides from his malevolent mechanical children in obsolescence, wishing to forget.

While her sensibilities are from an age long before their invention, Hope knows deep in her non-existent heart that the irony of turning these new so-called "necromechanical" weapons against their undead inventors would bring her satisfaction, were she still living.

Heaven forbid I actually try to draw actual humans.

Actually it was the decade-old coolant system leaking into the graphics card in my logic engine that was the culprit. You will be missed, Compy.

A thing I made for a good friend of mine who goes by "JRoad" in his art. I wish he did more art. He used to draw on blank shipping labels and I would stick those on my sketchbooks. I like decorating the covers with other artists'work.

Today the device designated "RTX 2060" in the logic engine on my desk did too much math at once and burned itself out. Thankfully this will incur no impact to my renderings, as my process involves taking a photo with the broken camera on my glowing rectangle and deep-frying the image with filters.

"I used to be like you; full of life, a sense of self-preservation, caring about the effective radius of my explosives..."

Same character, opposite seriousness factor.

I didn't mean to draw a Warhammer 40k techpriest but I totally drew a Warhammer 40k techpriest.

Classical architecture made by humans. They sure liked to be fancy.

When nobody is around, they descend to maintain the deeply-buried unknowable mechanisms of the planet. When somebody is around, they simply watch from unseen places, waiting for any intruders to expire... One way or another.

Some kind of clanking clanker machine idk.

Odds n' ends

Self portrait, circa 2021 I keep the skulls in my cranial jar for tax purposes and they were ethically sourced, pay them no mind.

I guess I should draw more dogs....

Doggo time.

The labyrinthian machine catacombs have yet to be fully mapped out, partially because of the scale and partially because they do not want to be.

Is it afraid of computer mice?

Bonus drawing, because I missed a day. I'm not sure if this is the same operative as the one with the giant suitcase from a couple posts ago. I'm still feeling out the narrative I've been pondering.

Techno-magical environment test 1

It takes a special kind of person to be willing to actively work with the undead for a living, much less remain living around the undead.

I have no idea what this is or does, but it was clearly not designed by the living. Probably some kind of necromechanical worker drone. Best keep away from it in any case. (Feeling lazy due to not feeling well, hence the lack of filters)

I feel like no matter how diligent I am about proofreading the alt text on the images I post or the text of the post itself, there is always a typo somehwere.

I don't often color my art, but with this one I'm not sure what version I like better. I am rather fond of the blue-green-yellow gradient on the robotic arm of the fish-piloted robotic construct. I often find coloring my art is a gamble as to whether or not it will be an improvement or a detriment.

A jungle no less hostile than the naturally-occuring ones on the surface. Centuries of study has yielded nothing but lost expeditions and insane researchers.

In the deep future the undead have pioneered and perfected the art and science of necromechanization in order to more effectively combat the living, superseding more traditional necromantic methods of reanimation.

I found the very very first drawing that began to suggest my current style. Made in 2009 during the period between about 2005 and 2020 when I didn't really make art nor identified as an artist. I regret there having been such a huge gap in my creativity efforts.

Things that should not exist

If you see this you have to share an image from your phone without explaining it

I usually deep-fry my art with a few filters so here is a raw one

I also present the Labyrinth Demon, an eldritch abomination consisting of 60 hand-drawn animation frames and about 150 lines of custom code. it has two new abilities that I won't spoil. I made these in response to the fact that normal DooM monsters' AI can't deal with non-euclidean level geometry.
