I trust a business with a crappy hand-drawn sign made by their kids 1000x more than one with an A I sign, I have to say.
September #promosky because I've never done one! My art gravitates towards horror, OC and one-off pieces. 🌛Shoujo anime 👹JJBA + horror manga 🌛Music collecting - literally all genres 👹90s-00s classic games (Rareware, etc.) 🌛Criterion + art films 👹Survival horror 🌛Tomodachi Life 👹Pokemon cards
Rental stores probably rescued physical media more than you’d expect. I’ve seen a number of rare VHS tapes and games, the only copies you can reasonably buy are ex-rentals.
Post something random or you’ll have an awful September. Not too awful though, and you’ll get something wonderful you’ve always wanted.

If you want to see Scrooge you should just watch DuckTales. Whoa-oh.
The witch Gin Shi, one of the four main villains of The Great Katabasis. She can turn a person inside out with the snap of her fingers... This is an alternate, more human look - her typical "true" face resembles a demon or hannya mask. #ocart #horrorart #art #oc
I don’t even know why A I pages would bother to follow me. Don’t they have drinking water to steal from children?
I thought that film was going to be about giving Scrooge a complex backstory, which would be stupid because that already exists - it’s called A Christmas Carol. Taking the redemption out of a redemption story is even worse.
There was something forbidden about being a child in the horror aisle of a video store. I credit that feeling a little bit for my love of the genre. You don't get that "in a tiny museum of cursed art" feeling from anything now.
There is a live-action Rose of Versailles by one of my favourite directors that for some reason, I've never watched.
Fukiko Ichinomiya from the anime Oniisama e... (AKA Dear Brother). If you haven't seen it, I absolutely recommend, the creator is the artist behind Rose of Versailles. #fanart #oniisamae #art
Huge local store that lasted into the 2010s. Probably run by horror buffs looking back on it. I would revive it right now if I had the money. They had a display of Silent Hill 4 for years that I didn't want to go near because I was afraid the ghost would talk. (I was very young.)
Tell me about the video store of your past please
I had a dream that I bought a clock that looked like an old German house, and if it chimed at noon, a tall fleshy monster would come out of an empty room in your house and follow you around.
Pain is wearing me down today, I feel disappointed in myself.
You should tell me, who’s the scariest character you’ve made?
One of them for sure is the “fairytale witch”, and creative variants of them
Name your fav character archetype
A stylish Armarouge and Bastiodon I got from the newer Pokémon set
Concept sketch of Kamanosuke, a major antagonist in my horror project, The Great Katabasis. The cruel-natured, vampiric henchman of a witch. #oc #ocart #horrorart #art
They should make skates out of good and poignant ideas considering how fast they slip away.
Piggy from Lord of the Flies. Nobody ever even learns what his actual name is.
Name a character who deserved better.
-Some kids have tea with the local eccentric and go home depressed. -A woman goes to ballet school and it turns out to be rather clique-y.
Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.
This and Kowloon’s Gate were my grails for English ports. deSPIRIA is complex and text-dense so I understand, but it absolutely would've been a cult hit had it got a wider release. Starting from the first boss the enemy designs are insane.
One of the Dreamcast's strangest tiles is finally breaking its language barrier. deSPIRIA, Atlus' surreal horror RPG released only in Japan, but now its first chapter is available in English thanks to the work of rio de popomocco and their team. Info: www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2026/08/atlu...
The proportions turn out a bit whacky without a sketch, but I'm getting a tiny bit better at winging ink drawings. Starting with some of my most difficult characters was a choice though.
I’ve always thought school systems intentionally botched language studies. I realized this more when I got into French and literature by myself, and it was so much easier.
I honestly think part of what makes Carmine and Celesta's relationship work is that they're low-key narcissists who look kind of similar. So it's like talking in a mirror that shares your viewpoints. 😭
Seeing people pass over even the best artists, or their own relatives' art, for A I is deeply discouraging at times. A I can go away but that personal hurt won't...
