Diving Bells are another species of the Blue Blight originating from a once-extinct organism. These entities move across the Old North Sea's floor and emit constant soundwaves, disrupting the equilibrium of nearby non-blighted organisms, causing them to swim deeper when trying to resurface.

Speedpaint done for @halighuntress.bsky.social ! Worked a lot to make the cloud work with the grainy look of a rain-covered sky

Goober redeem done for @kaiogerk.bsky.social ! Just make sure to feed your cat and nothing bad will happen

Got a playthrough of The Witcher comin on up, going through all 3 of the games for the very first time (fully blind too). As it'll likely take a lil bit of time, here's a poster of yours truly as a local little guy as well!

Sunken Snares are one of the first creatures found in the sea below Doggerland, seeming to originate from the Anomalocaris. Bioluminescence is minimal when idling, but when in contact with non-blighted organisms it latches on and glows to signal to other entities to target as well.

Eyes for @thedroz.bsky.social are done! Got a strong range with different patterns going, was hell to set up but it works smoothly at every level

Big progress on the rigging for the model of @thedroz.bsky.social ! Got the teeth all nice n ready, and the face all wrapped up

Goober redeem done for @catseathedeville.bsky.social , they're just inquiring as to the reason is all

Goober redeem done for @kaiogerk.bsky.social ! She's just making sure you're hydrating, why are you running

Commission done for @ironisopod.bsky.social of FenariMoth doing her best in ban-hammering that one pesky nail :> #VGen #VGenComm

And with that, all months for the Horror Calendar are done! If you wish to get one in your home as well, you can check it out over at my merch page: gbroatic-shop.fourthwall.com/en-eur/produ...

[2026 Calendar Progress - December] Coming from Wales, the tradition of Mari Lwyd involves one person wearing a horse skull adorned with ribbons and ornaments clad in white cloth, and others who follow. Going from door to door, residents engage in rhymes with Mari while trickery occurs aplenty.

[2026 Calendar Progress - November] Mothman is one of the more recent entities, spotted originally near West Virginia, described in various vague descriptions but with a general matching property of glowing red eyes. Of note is that this creature is seen as an omen by some, foretelling of disasters.

[2026 Calendar Progress - October] Not a mythological creature or anything this time around, for October I put myself as the monthly goober due to it being my birthday month (and I also just love spooktober lmao).

[2026 Calendar Progress - September] Fire men appear towards the south of The Netherlands as shades wreathed in flames, often spotted during nighttime. One common origin in particular is that a fire man is a punished human that moved a boundary stone, made to eternally carry said stones with them.

[2026 Calendar Progress - August] The Lamp Cats of the Dutch isle Ameland are said to appear when the moon has a halo, where these cats can grow to the size of cows with large saucer-like eyes that glow in the night, chasing people beyond the shoreline to drown.

[2026 Calendar Progress - July] Now this entity you might have all heard of, as the Hatman is all in all a worldwide phenomenon. Popularised by the internet in its early forum days, the Hatman was oft-mentioned as a shadowy figure barely visible in the night.

Additionally, huge progress on the rigging for The Drozz model! Artmeshes are all set up, chose to leave no compromise and construct the artmeshes manually for optimal warping, with even only 54 total parts present on the texture atlas for the whole shebang >:]

[2026 Calendar Progress - June] Unlike the typical werewolf from pop culture, the Dutch werewolf does not transform under a full moon, and bothers people by jumping on the back of lone travellers and get increasingly heavy, draining their target's stamina. Yes, I know how that sounds but it's true

[2026 Calendar Progress - May] The Chupacabra, translating to goat sucker, has two specific descriptions from Puerto Rico. Whilst once is a reptillian kangaroo, the alternative is a hairless dog that drains goats from their blood. For this I introduced some mange and rabies to really drive it home.

Goober redeem done for @chefhollow.bsky.social reading a good ole newspaper. Just don't mind the contents, he's quite engrossed :>

Some major commission work of the year! Inbetween WIP but the art for @thedroz.bsky.social 's model is done! Don't worry, far more eyes are yet to come :>

[2026 Calendar Progress - Cover Art] The Nuckelavee is a more nightmarish creature from the seas, showing its bare skin with veins pumping black blood throughout it. Half of a human is attached to the top, with long arms clasping towards their target and a head too large to keep steady.

OH OOP APRIL NOT MARCH LMAO

[2026 Calendar Progress - March] The Longman is best described as an immeasurably tall man with stiff neck and hanging arms, floating over the ground with their legs. While some tales tell of him as a bad omen for health within the household, others refer to him as a protector of the lone traveller.

[2026 Calendar Progress - March] Redirecting focus to America, the Slide Rock Bolter is a Fearsome Critter told by lumberjacks near Colorado. Using it's massive sculpin-like mouth, this giant creature somewhat akin to a whale barrels its way down hills and cliffs to gulp up anything in its way.

[2026 Calendar Progress - February] The Dutch Waterwolf does not have much information about it beyond their appearance (even in 1938 little was known). They're described as wolf-like creatures with seaweeds and algae grown into its skin with massive fins akin the northern pike.

[2026 Calendar Progress - January] The nightmare, an entity described through Dutch texts to invoke nightmares on their victims by putting pressure on their chest and making it hard to breathe. Took some liberties, but texts both referenced horse-like appearances and arms, so enjoy!

Goober redeem done for @thesundrake.bsky.social ! Is just a lil guy, wouldn't hurt a fly :>

Adding my own art summary of this year upon the pile! Scrounged around a bit to see what best represents each month but I think these work well for that. Now back to the grind to continue straight into 2026 #art #artsummary2025

Goober Redeem done for @lirabeeart.bsky.social of Squallio. Such refined speech

Second redeem from the subathon for @remiera.bsky.social . Don't fret, she's just trying to figure out what size to knit you in

First of the Subathon Painting Redeems done at last! This one is for @logboat.bsky.social . Surely nothing lurks beneath the waves

Goober Redeem done for @kaiogerk.bsky.social , serving some fresh Ls to you directly

Now I might be a little bit sick, but who am I to turn down a competition :> (even if @shinybones.bsky.social is trying to rally people)

Custom Goober made for @solacesky.bsky.social , always good to stay up to date with horse stocks for future investments #VGen #VGenComm

Commission done for @itbeeme.bsky.social , must've left the oven on #VGen #VGenComm

At long last, I have finally made a reference sheet of my model! I'll be working on version with the outfits, but this should serve well for the underlying anatomy (don't worry, no dangly bits present at all)

Commission done for @chefhollow.bsky.social of a horror background animation! Don't fret, the bodies are all locally sourced and contain minimal microplastics #VGen #VGenComm

Incredibly Important Emote. Cannot have the channel without this.

4 More new emotes for you all to enjoy! These were picked by the community, one more animated emote is in the works, and then the remainder of emotes will be picked by yours truly.

Late post over here, but here's the birthday gift I made for @shinybones.bsky.social , featuring her more monstrous form with all of the cats (had to remember how to draw the goobers again tho)

While I'm at it, here is also the sigil I made for yours truly, for any blight needs you might have :>

Work from yesterday! Decided to go for a lil bit of a hippocampus inspiration for The Chariot.

Emote Batch done for @neviahofflame.bsky.social , I'm sure she'll be fiiiine, just gotta let the tumble dryer run its cycle #VGen #VGenComm

And the True Hunt outfit as well! This one uses linear burn and overlays to achieve the result, though these are baked in for the Vtube Studio version.

Model Showcase of The Hunt outfit for the channel's model! Lots of inbuild toggles, some effects are saved to another model however due to current Vtube Studio limitations (hopin for that SDK 5.3 support)

Image Dump soon inbound, will be uploading the art of the subathon over here with context. In the meantime, have the new revamped starting soon screen for you all to enjoy!
