#SaintMantis in my style, originally by the talented @owllog.bsky.social! Might've gone a little overboard with the artistic liberties here but was enjoying this creature a TON! #art #illustration

A digital painting of a mantis-esque person rendered in a realistic concept art style. The mantis person has one arm, with the ending "claw" containing a few fingers. Shoulder blades and pelvic bones protrude out, pushing the skin. The eyes are completely sunken in with only small highlights for pupils, and behind a head sits a renaissance style halo. It's mouth is agape with sharp, uneven teeth and a small nose.

Hi #PortfolioDay - I'm Ben 👋 Freelance illustrator & full time product development lead Focusing on digital painting ghosts and eerie interiors, but sometimes ink in black and white. I have only a couple of spots open, but don't hesitate to reach out with your ideas! 🖥️ benblissart.com #art

A digital painting, rendered realistically, of a woman in a black dress, half cropped by the frame, standing on a chair. Only her hand is visible skin. She stands in front of a dark window, and folksy household objects are scattered about. It’s unclear what the woman is doing

A POV shot painting looking into the next room through a large opening space. There is a fireplace, a painting above it, and some decoration on the fireplace. In the center of the room, in front of a deep red wall is a figure moving across the floor. The figure is semi transparent, blurry, and their face is wrong. You don't remember taking this picture

Illustration of a man sitting and smiling into the camera. Lighting is as if a photo was taken with the flash on. There are random assortments of chips, plates, and other various items on the table in front of him. The room is cool and blue. Behind him, a pair of legs dangle from the ceiling, going unnoticed

A realistically rendered digital painting. The viewer is looking out a closed door from within a building. Through the windows, all is black in the night aside from an uncomfortably shaped face in the left window pane. The face is mostly visible, but looks incorrect, and the eyes are sunken in

New digital painting! Lots of texture in this one. Took forever and I could probably work on it forever more, but there’s some more exciting work I wanna start on #art #illustration #horror #painting

A digital painting rendered realistically of some sort of in progress or abandoned room. The room is not fully constructed, with visible beams and flooring pieces. There are planks of bare wood and boxes and an old AC unit under a brightly lit window. The right half of the painting is a warm and bright area lit hy the window, the left half is dimly lit and shaded behind a corner wall. In the darkness, an uninteligable figure sits with it’s hands on it’s knees, partially obscured by a beam in the foreground.

“Unease” There’s something disturbing to me about quiet, interior spaces like this. I focus on them more as a painting challenge, but there’s more to it that’s super interesting to me. I could’ve explored that a bit further, but I liked this one as is! #art #illustration #painting #creepy

Chunky lad in the jungle, soaking up the rays for the rest of us #illustration #art #pen #ink #drawing #relax

A weird little baby thing lays on the ground in the jungle, surrounded by plants, a lemur tail, and butterflies. He basks in the sunlight, contently.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂

A few closeups to compensate for the image compression!

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Feb 22

Finally a new piece! Originally this was going to be quite different, with multiple figures, but it felt way too distracting, so I focused in on the doctor and “patient” #art #horror #illustration #painting

A doctor looking forlorn into the camera as he performs surgery on a covered patient. The patient is a sickly green pale with tubes emanating from its abdomen. Only the stomach is uncovered by sheets, with a slice made in the stomach. The background is a void of vague darkness and implied medical equipment.

Art vs. Artist('s cat) 2025: I didn't actually think I had 8 things to share from this year since I work slowly, but having enough was nice to see! Will do more next year, enough to choose some favs! #art #illustration #artvsartist #painting #noai #horror #darkart #artistsofbsky

“A Visitor” I amassed over 200 followers recently, more than I had on Tw1tter ever in all like 10 years of me being there. I’m incredibly grateful that people enjoy and respond to my work! Thank you! #art #illustration #darkart #horror #digitalpainting

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Sep 11

This is fun! I can clearly see how I’m painting differently now. I actually really like the cat painting but can see more confident, intentional decisions in my stuff nowadays #art #illustration #painting #digitalart

Text that says “art at the beginning of covid”

A digital painting of a cat, cropped at odd angles by black drapes/curtains. The cat is a mixed grey/brown with white face and chest, and bright green eyes

A digital painting of a man smiling at the camera sitting at a table. Various items strewn about in the foreground, and hanging legs/feet in the background. The room is ice cold

Sketchin’ outdoors on this fine Tuesday #sketch #art #illustration #digitalpainting

Half finished portrait of a being with very sunken in, small eyes, tiny nostrils that are flush to the face, and large lips. The expression or emotion is unintelligible

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Aug 19

Free balloon! #art #illustration #horror

It’s a black and white grainy drawing of a balloon. The balloon is very fleshy, wrinkly, and has 2 eyes inset into even more fleshy sockets. There are 2 obvious nostrils and a “smile” that’s really just a series of holes

BenBlissArt@benblissart· May 23

Enjoying a vacation of which I’ll be returning from soon. In the meantime, conjured this critter on the train #art #illustration #horror #drawing #sketch #doodle

Little 6"x 6" pen drawing for a local art fundraiser 🌞 #art #illustration #traditionalart

A pen drawing in black and white of a humanoid figure in a black hooded coat, wearing a mask that resembles a plague doctor, watering plants in a beautiful garden. It's a cute scene, not scary, but definitely weird

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY

The infamous Mexican alien press conference but rock is the alien

You stumble upon a writhing doorway, do you approach it? #art #creepy @bsky.art

Hardwood floor, bare wall, and a doorway in the center. The room is bathed in red and rust colored tones. Inside the open doorway is a writhing mass of what looks like intestines or ground beef

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Feb 27

"Walk in the Woods" I honestly cannot figure this one out, tried a lot of different things on the birds, but nothing really seems to work. I'll consider this unfinished until I discover the solution 😅 #art @bsky.art #illustration

A scene of a snowy forest. Most of the image is the snow on the ground in a clearing with no vegetation. The flash of the camera causes light to fall off quickly. In the middle of the path there are birds scattering. What they were doing before being startled is not quite clear

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Feb 25

Thanks for continuing to do these @veowind.bsky.social! I'm Ben, a freelance illustrator who mostly works in eerie imagery, but not exclusively. Here's a couple pieces that showcase what I like to do, but please check out the media tab for more! Thanks for the art share :) #art #artshare

An American gothic style painting of a dog sitting on a bed, with one leg/paw stretched outward. The dog is looking right at the viewer. Most of the dog is in shadow, as light comes in from the right side, off of the canvas.

There is a window to the right with rain droplets falling down it. The scene is mostly peaceful, but is an unsettling calm. A faint hand print can be seen on the window pane

A line drawing in sickly green looking out from the inside of a cave

Digital painting of The Treachery of Images but the pipe is bart from the simpsons

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Feb 18

"A Knock at the Window" I struggled to find the hook with this one, but I do think it works well on it's own. Luckily though I got some advice that pointed me in the right direction! #art #painting #illustration #dark #eerie #gothic @bsky.art

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Feb 2

Congrats on 1k!! 🍾🙌 I'm Ben, a freelance illustrator who mostly works in nightmare/horror imagery, but not exclusively. Here's a couple pieces that resemble what I like to do Thanks for the art share :)

Painting of hands resting on a green jacket with low sunlight

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Jan 31

Thanks Kurt, love your style!! Your palettes remind me of summertime 🌞 Here's some of my recent work! 🎉

An orange cat illuminated by light from a ceiling lamp which is out of frame. She's in the center of a mostly empty room. Boxes and various pieces of furniture are strewn about. On the left, an open accordion door leads into a pitch dark room

A digital painting of the inside of a tent. The only light source is the overhead camping lamp, which is emitting a strong red glow (like an emergency light). From the darkness, a figure is shown approaching. Their eyes and nose are visible, but once we get to the mouth the shadows cover everything else. It's as if they have no mouth at all, or it's open incredibly wide. It is 3am and sleeping is no longer an option. Despite this, you wake up

A black & white drawing of a skeleton in the woods at night, sitting in front of a campfire. He's holding a cup of coffee. The drawing is done in a scratchboard style, where white has been drawn into the black

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Jan 28

Congrats on 1.3k!! 🎉🍾🙌 Hi, I'm Ben 👋 I'm a freelance illustrator who mostly works in nightmare/horror imagery. Here's sort of a varied smattering of the sort of things I like to do! Thanks for the art share @veowind.bsky.social !! #art #illustration

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Jan 21

All things considered I’m kinda okay with this. That’s called character growth 🎉

Bad habit artists bingo, I did not get bingo because apparently my habits aren’t that bad

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Jan 6

Sketch of my bedroom the other night maybe around 3-4am? I think the light reflection was due to the snow outside, I just loved how that looked. 🌝🌚 Probably not enough here idea-wise to justify finishing though! #art #painting #creepy

A monochromatic painting of a bedroom at night, with blue light spilling in. The light shines onto a slightly opened door

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Dec 27

These two go together, and are from the same reference point: The Black Swan Inn in Tilton NH. Which was AMAZING by the way, highly recommend.

A painting of the inside of a room. The closet is open and reveals an iron and a rob. To the right, there is a desk, a chair, and a small neck mannequin for jewelry. The clock says 11:31. In the mirror, there is a face of a young girl, but the reflection is impossible

BenBlissArt@benblissart· Dec 20

If you see this, post something monochromatic 🌚🌝 #art #illustration @bsky.art

Bit late to this party ⚔️ I have also never drawn armor before 😶‍🌫️ Elite knights opt to tie the rotting, patchwork faces of their enemies to their helmets. Combat is usually avoided, as foes flee in terror at this grotesque sight #art #illustration @gorangligovic.bsky.social
