Hey it's #PortfolioDay ~ I'm Xeni, horse destroyer and hand monster. I have prints, shirts, stickers, and commercial licenses! 🔹 Prints & Posters 🔹 Shirts & Stickers 🔹 Licensing: xeniflowers@gmail.com #Art #DarkArt #B&WArt #horror

digital illustration, title at bottom: Terrorgrove Beast. A creature in a dark forest. It has a huge horse skull for a head, jaw wide open and lunging forward. its body is a long mass of fur/hair with a tail, and many numerous arms and hands reaching out or supporting it like legs.

Digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Metempsychosis. A horse skull viewed from below and to the side, as if it is looking up to the right while you are standing below it. The skull is taking up most of the square canvas. Its jaw is carved in curled filigree. Roots come from the bottom of the canvas to grasp and wrap around and through the skull. Blooming out of the skull's eye is a Rafflesia flower, and a mass of 10 hands come out of the center of it, reaching up and out beyond the top left of the canvas. Out of the back of the skull's head is a flowing mass of hair. The background shows a large bare tree with numerous bare branches, viewed as if looking straight up at it. The piece is shaded in selective hatching.

Digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: The Host of Anguish. The subject is a humanoid creature shown from the waist up, with at least 6 arms and a horse skull head on a long neck of stylized plant roots. More hands and arms are emerging from its expansive, twisting and tearing flesh to cover most of the lower half of the canvas. All of the hands are grabbing and reaching out as if in crisis. A large, deep hole is in its upper chest, torn flesh as its border. The piece is shaded using extensive, precise crosshatching.

Digital illustration using extensive fine contour hatching. Entire canvas is bright fully saturated red, except for the hands which are still white. A huge swirling tangled mass of gnarled roots fill the entire canvas, spiraling down into a black pit. A pair of hands are grasping onto one large root-tendril while the entire rest of the person is engulfed in more twisting roots and being pulled down into the pit.

all of my art is either: deeply personal expression of emotion OR hey look at this cool monster

Digital black and white ink illustration using extensive fine contour hatching, title at bottom: Just Relent. A huge swirling tangled mass of gnarled roots fill the entire canvas, spiraling down into a black pit. A pair of hands are grasping onto one large root-tendril while the entire rest of the person is engulfed in more twisting roots and being pulled down into the pit.

Digital illustration in flat, muted, cool earthy tones, title at bottom: The Blighted Conjurer. A six-limbed being comprised of gnarled, twisted vines and roots has a horse skull head. The vines/roots are attached to its arms as if the arms are growing from them. It is in a forested body of water with its head leaning out and over. Black viscous fluid flows from the cavity in its nose down into a mass on top of the water. The piece is not shaded, using intricate line work and flat colors to show depth.

All posters are 20% off! Lots of weird and horrific creatures to choose from~ 🔹 SHOP #art #DarkArt #BSNM #horror #ArtShop

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

it was this one btw

Digital greyscale illustration, title at bottom: The Futility of Sorrow. A humanoid form sits slumped, their head a bare skull looking up with jaw open unnaturally wide. Their teeth are long, twisted tree roots flowing up in a mass beyond the top of the canvas. Their hands are resting in their lap, palms up and relaxed. The parts so far described are shaded with fine contour hatching. Their body is solid black. The background shows a large circle with viscous strands of thick black fluid (or sludge) stretching across it. The rest of the background is grey static.

Digital pencil greyscale illustration, title at bottom: With Their Lies They Become Me. A horse from the chest up, its head raised up as if in motion. The entire top of their head is exploding out with just torn flesh and no blood, while black fluid splashes out of its mouth. White flowing/electric masses fly out and away from the torn head and its open mouth. The background is almost solid black, manually filled in with pencil.

digital ink illustration in warm greyscale with lots of fine line work. title at bottom: Undergrowth. two hands each coming from opposite corners, one palm down and one palm up, one's middle finger lightly touching the other's index finger. the entire canvas, including most of the visible arms, are covered in tangled, gnarled roots. veiny, branching masses spread just under the skin of the forearms.

it's nearing the end of Pride Month and the best way to support a queer artist like me is to get some shirts, stickers, prints, or cards! 🔹 PRINTS & CARDS 🔹 SHIRTS & STICKERS #art #DarkArt #horror #BSNM #ArtShop

Digital black and white illustration, title at bottom: Voided Storms. A horse creature has a skull head and its torso ripped open, showing bending ribs. It rears up from a massive, endless bed of twisting roots that covers most of the lower half of the canvas. Solid black smoke or mist flows from its torso and neck into and around an exploding shaft stuck into the roots-covered ground. Shards fly across the canvas. A large beam of veined light comes from the sky and hits the ground in the distance behind the creature. The background shows a starry night sky and mountains in the distance. The piece is shaded in extensive crosshatching and contour hatching.
