Another quick #Artfight attack against my friend, @zombiecheshirepro.bsky.social! This was a harder pose but a fun one to work on 😊 #art #artfight2026

An eldritch entity, monster mommy if you will, striking a pose to really give that stomach mouth some access to open up and swallow you whole. Lightly horror.

An artfight attack against Ermalean! I'm not sure if she has Blusky but check out her twitch (www.twitch.tv/ermalean). I wanted to experiment with a few things in this piece, and had a lot of fun with it! #art #portrait #artfight #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #illustration

A dramatic portrait of the character Ena, created by Ermalean. This is an artfight attack done in hues of purple as the primary focus. The lighting is dramatic, focused on the eyes and the tip of an earring which shines around the face.

Hiding from the heat, doodling something tragic and/or spooky.

Initial sketch of some hands blocking the viewer's face. As if something may be coming for it, or maybe they're reaching for something else in the distance... Work in progress (WIP)

Coming in late and hot, here's a piece I did for #Pride! Non-binary and Asexual flags used together and turned into a bouquet. Flowers and foliage included are: Forsythia, Anemone, Lily of the Valley, Silver Sagebrush, Black Hellebore. #art #asexual #nonbinary #skull #prideart #horrorsky

A skull used as a vase of sorts to hold a bouquet. Flowers and foliage are chosen to embody the asexual and non-binary pride flags. Flowers and foliage included are: Forsythia, Anemone, Lily of the Valley, Silver Sagebrush, Black Hellebore The skull itself is cracked in two, with elongated canine teeth. There seems to be some life left in it though...

The stop sign from the Backrooms ended up being my favourite prop from the movie. #Backrooms #Horrorart #Horrorsky #Moviesky #art #digitalart

A quick study of the stop sign from the Backrooms movie. A stop sign in reverse, standing in the doorway of a Backrooms hallway.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula 🦇 This is an OC of mine, Ambrosia.

A vampire OC named Ambrosia, dressed in pale purples with bright teal bangs and a gem at the bust. She wears a bat-like masquerade mask.

Artists, drop some creepy art!

What can I say, I love a timelapse, and I love me a withered Bonnie. #timelapse #speedpaint #fnaf #witheredbonnie #Bonnie #fnaf2 #art #horrorsky #horrorart

Working on a piece for pride. And guesses on what flag(s) inspired the flowers? #art #WIP #pride #pridemonth #horrorart #horror #skull

A work in progress of a skull with flowers blooming out of the cracked cranium. The piece is done using Clip Studio Paint on an ipad. The tablet itself is resting against a cat with an orange collar.

This is Dread. Dread is a reflection on my decade+ long journey with my disability. How every day has possibilities, but most often the pain drags me further and further from them. #art #artsky #digitalart #illustration #spoonie #horrorart #horrorsky #disability

A character named Dread, reaching up for the light while a hand slowly creeps from the pool, likely to grasp them and pull them back into the depths.

I finished this really great version of the original Psycho novel last week. A great read, and anyone who is a fan of the movie should see what differences there are between that and the original source!

A copy of Psycho by Robert Bloch. This book has a tile-like hardcover and a slip sleep that hearkens to the movie based off the book.

🦇 Levi of the Bats 🦇@levivalen· Jun 5

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!

A digital portrait of the Wolfman from the original Universal Monsters movie. Done using procreate, this is one of the original Heads of Horror pieces.

Pride month has me thinking of that Ace in the hole, Alastor. I drew these two in 2021 and 2022. Maybe it's about time I tackled the radio demon again... #art #artsky #HazbinHotel #Alastor #radiodemon #fanart

2021 fanart of Alastor when the artist first started learning digital art. He's reaching forward, prepared to make a deal with you -- will you take his hand? Alastor is a character from Hazbin Hotel.

Updated digital painting of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel, with his grinning shadow. Originally done in 2022 using clip studio paint.

My new tablet arrived and to test it out I did a quick dragon wall paper idea I had. Full review of the tablet to be posted, but so far I'm enjoying it! #art #artsky #xppen #clipstudiopaint #dragon

A dragon flying into the clouds, pulling them behind its wings. Rays of the sunrise press against it's wings and back.

I'm a big fan of the wheels on either side, which I have programmed to change my pen/eraser size (left) and rotate my canvas (right). I'll be honest, I don't use all of the buttons, but these are all customizable! The bottom buttons on both sides are where I programmed my most used shortcuts.

close up of a golden Smaug funko figure next to the XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro display tablet, focused on the buttons along the side, and the wheel in the center.

While we're waiting on new art posts, one thing I'd like to do is write up a review for my old tablet. It just broke down on me after 5 years, but it was a great piece of equipment. I've done or finished pretty much all of my pieces on the XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro, which I lovingly called "Big Boy"!

Photo of the artist's desk, focused mostly on the XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro display tablet. There are stickers along the edges, a golden funko of Smaug from the Hobbit, and a plush of Alastor cat sitting ontop of it.

A timelapse of my 2023 illustration of Crowley! There are some surprises in the various initial sketches too! #art #artsky #GoodOmens #Crowley #GO #Booksky #timelapse

🦇 Levi of the Bats 🦇@levivalen· May 14

An old piece I did of Crowley after watching Good Omens season 1 (for the umpteenth time). And now, having seen season 3/ the film, I'll have to do a new piece soon! #art #artsky #GoodOmens #Crowley

A digital painting of Crowley from Good Omens, vaguely sauntering down as his wings burned and he fell from heaven. Drawn after Good Omens season one. The loss of his white wings turning black along with his robes remains the focal point, but other angels fall behind him. Done in clip studio paint in 2023.

This week I'll be doing a walk-through on Neurographic art for my day job and I'm excited to share the practice. I think this can be a great tool for people to take a minute and create something too! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #neurographicart #neuroart

A piece of neurographic art using a rainbow of colors in a darker hue. An example of the practice using lines, circles, and squares.

Neurographic art done on a tablet using a primarily red color palette.

Do we like timelapses? Because I like timelapses. How'd we start, how'd we get here? Who knows, not me. #art #artsky #horrorsky #booksky #BodiesofWork #timelapse #illustration #butterfly

Am I do this whole #MerMay thing right? #art #artsky #mermaid #bat #sketch #doodle

A sketch of a mermaid bat done in clip studio paint on the iPad. This sketch was done for Mermaid May (Mermay) 2026. It says "Have a Batty good Mermay!"

Alternate version with the book's title!

Kendra had no idea what she was getting into. And honestly, neither did I at the start of this book, but it was a fun ride (for me)! This piece is inspired by Bodies of Work, by Clay McLeod Chapman. The book mentioned water color, butterflies and butterfly girls, and a particularly painful snip in the back of the throat. I brought these elements into this digital painting, using water color brushes and the color palette of an eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly. Alternate version with the book's title!

🦇 Levi of the Bats 🦇@levivalen· May 8

After reading #BodiesofWork, I picked up a few specific details that made the foundation for this piece. This one goes out to @claymcleod.bsky.social! #art #artsky #booksky #horrorsky #illustration

🦇 Levi of the Bats 🦇@levivalen· May 7

Next in the background series, working on windows, specifically a touch of stained glass. Definitely something I want to come back to and work on more. #art #artsky #background #digitalpainting #stainedglass #statue

A broken statue of a winged creature still stands before stained glass windows. The windows are broken by age and the elements, yet when the light shines through, the statue looks almost ready to lift the remaining wing. Digital painting done with a limited base color palette using Clip Studio Paint EX. A practice piece for background studies, focused on reds, creams, and blue.

🦇 Levi of the Bats 🦇@levivalen· May 4

Here the last piece I finished. Horror helps with handling the horror day to day around us.

A digital painting of Withered Bonnie from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. Withered Bonnie comes from the second game, and the second movie! In this instance, it looks like he's coming to say hello from within the vents, how nice of him!

Digital portrait of a castle on the peak of a tall mountain in the middle of a vast body of water. The castle is isolated and protected, or surrounded, by Amphiptere, types of dragons with large wings but no other limbs. These snake-like dragons live in a cave within the heart of the mountain itself, curious about the strange structure above.

After picking up "Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng" by Kylie Lee Baker, I couldn't get a chapter one scene out of my head. This is the resulting painting of that description and moment. #art #artsky #horror #illustration #horrorsky #booksky #digitalpainting #KylieLeeBaker
