Horrible denim man #darkart #horror #creature

A strange sewn stuffed figure made of denim, with one button eye and a zipper mouth. It has bloodstained arms ending in mitten-like hands with sharp objects poking out, including seam rippers and sewing scissors. There are more zippers and small patches on various parts of its body. There are also sections where it's ripped open to reveal small wriggling worms. A large zipper in its midsection is open to reveal a series of slobbering, writhing tentacles.

Part 2 #traditionalart

Another pencil drawing on brown paper of an old abandoned truck. This time the composition is focused in on the front bumper. As before, there are weeds and grass in the foreground picked out in white pencil.

I think I'd call this a success - I could barely make a line with these before

There were also "Darian's Darios" and "Fantuz Flakes"

It would be nice to use nibs again so I'm giving the Raw Potato method a try (apparently this is the best way to clean off the manufacturer's oil)

🛻 #traditionalart

A pencil drawing on brown paper of an old abandoned truck. The composition is zoomed in to focus on one side where the door is permanently hanging open. There are weeds in the foreground, picked out in white pencil.

Just say cake, just say cake #makeaterriblecomicday2026 #comicoop

My terrible comic for Make A Terrible Comic Day 2026. It's a four panel gag strip with a not terribly funny gag. The first panel depicts my spouse, a stag beetle, asking me, a moth, "What do you want for your birthday?" The second panel is a close up of my mothsona looking distressed, with a bunch of red squiggles in the background, with a scrawled caption reading "To disappear." The third panel closes in on my mothsona's eyes which are now scribbly and swirly, the red background squiggles have overtaken most of the panel, and the caption reads "To ride off into the sunset, never to be heard from again." The fourth panel is the same as the first panel, with my spouse and myself talking and I'm looking up at him nervously and going "um...cake I guess"

it's your old pal Wiggler!

A digital sketch of Wiggler, the caterpillar enemy from the Mario games, looking like it was drawn in oil pastel on brown paper.

Weird fetal creatures #sketchbook #traditionalart

A drawing of several weird fetal creatures on green fluorescent paper. One is shaded in red pencil and fully rendered with black ink, the rest are smaller and outlined in a simpler style with green ink. There's a couple of goblin looking dudes, a quasi seahorse, a froglike creature with four tiny arms, and a thing with a long snout, eyes on stalks, and no digits on its limbs.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. I saw this before I saw the actual live action show it was based on

Zine cover commission #art #artpost

A digital ink and wash drawing of a castle-like building, actually a hotel that is one of my local landmarks, as seen from across a river through some detailed foreground foliage.

That's me, a pile of neuroses in a trenchcoat #art #sketchbook

An ink drawing on a brown paper bag of a dark wispy figure animating a trenchcoat and hovering in the air. It has a quasi face with too many eyes and is also wearing a hat.

My TCAF haul, so huge I needed two pictures

E M Will@elainemwill· Jun 2

I wanted to draw a cool skeleton with my Dollarama brushpens #sketchbook (this is actually one of the skeleton warrior dudes from Arkade, my hubby @markallardwill.bsky.social 's comic that I did the art for in 2017)

A brushpen sketch on manila paper of a skeleton warrior dude with a sword, shield and helmet with horns. There are sketchy flames in the background.

Filled with a desire to draw everything on manila paper with these cheapass red and black brushpens, it makes the most innocuous things look super menacing #sketchbook

A very menacing and slightly distorted street drawn on manila paper with red and black ink. There's a car in the far foreground in the bottom right hand corner.

Tomatoes are in! 🍅😎 (Just in time for a huge rainstorm? Maybe, possibly, I hope?)

Yeah I have no idea why this is on my phone

A photo of a hand with a face drawn on it, two eyes and a line for a mouth, a displeased expression. The hand has two of those little plastic hands on its thumb and pinky, and little plastic feet on its index finger and ring finger, leaving the middle finger to appear like...well, you know. Sigh.
