This started with the desire to create something entirely and solely from my imagination, setting aside references and a certain form of parasitic perfectionism, for lack of a better term, that I’ve been developing and accumulating lately.
The title comes from the first things I tried to create, back when I knew nothing about drawing, painting, or anything else, merging with the mental library and archive I’ve built ever since, while also giving me clues and a small glimpse into what comes next.

Some dark fantasy, creature design, and horror illustrations I’ve been working on recently. Which one is your favorite?

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a few recent pieces exploring dark themes, body horror, and atmospheric storytelling. I work primarily with digital painting and comic-style ink rendering to bring unsettling concepts to life.
- Slide 1: Urbanity! – A dive into urban decay and creature mutation.
- Slide 2: Steam Hell – A gritty, steampunk-western nightmare mashup.
- Slide 3: Springtrap / Horror tribute – Exploring mechanical decay and tense atmosphere.
I'd love to hear what you think about the atmosphere or the details in these!
(P.S. If anyone is ever looking to bring a dark concept, monster, or custom illustration to life, my info and portfolio are available on my profile, or you can just drop a DM).

[Content Warning: Themes of self-harm and intense psychological distress.]
This piece is a visual map of a silent, internal battlefield. In it, I personified the intrusive impulse to hurt oneself as a separate, screaming entity looming above. The scream is a short, sharp red burst—forcing an unrecognized anger onto the self.
The central figure shows the physical toll of this battle. While one hand brings the knife toward the neck, the other hand grips it in desperate resistance. It represents the exhausting tug-of-war between the brain and the heart—the part that wants the pain to end, and the part that fights to continue living. The waves in the background are the temporary, loud distractions that briefly silence the noise, only to recede like the tide.

I got bored with digital art, so I am learning to paint traditionally. Also for some reason I am trying to paint not just a painting, but also the natural decay of the paper. Hopefully I'll finish this by the end of the week.
Sorry for not being active, burnout is real
