Adjudicators of the Abyssal Church roam the realm with their shadow candle and wax crest, seeking abyss corrupted with mortal emotions and, using the great candle, send the souls within into the cold and dark bosom of the abyss. A gentle and lonely place. #indiegames #gameart #fantasyart #gamedev

Obligatory Post-Spiritober recap: Thanks so much to everyone who joined me on this spooky and challenging spirit-filled adventure. This year's challenge was my favorite so far and I enjoyed making all these weirdos. Check below for sketches #indiegames #gameart #fantasyart #grimdark #fantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 31: Sage As the Sinister Festival draws to its Zenith, a festive creature emerges. Dressed in long robes and adorned with censers filled with burning Rosemary, Bloodgrass and Sage, they spread the smells of the festival across the Realm #indiegames #gameart #grimdark #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 30: Gleam Lantern Mimics slumber alongside the roads of the Sunless Realms. They're lazy creatures off of whose tails lanterns hang and guide travelers through the dark and dreary lands. #indiegames #fantasyart #grimdark #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 29: Choir Mechanicals were usually created for waging war, but some were created as testaments of the arts. This one was made to patrol holy places and produce sounds of beautiful Choirs from its head and hands. #indiegames #grimdark #fantasyart #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 28: Jaw In the Highleaf Forest, there are creatures said to be Fae touched patroling the crowns of the trees. Their heads and jaws made of the stone statues which once represented a civilization, as a tangle of roots enchanted with fae magic controls them #indiegames #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 27: Mirror These slimy creatures use their evolutionary trait to grow ice on their backs to reflect the light from their glowing horn to confuse predators with the shimmering borealis appearing on their backs. #indiegames #gamedev #grimdark #fantasyart #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 26: Confession In the mist fields, one may encounter confessors who offer horns which, when a confession is blown into them, send a ribbon of light ahead, guiding the traveler out of the foggy landscape and leaving the confession behind #indiegames #gamedev #fantasyart #grim

Porky's Spiritober Day 25: Funerary The Funerary Priests of the Abyssal Church carry lanterns attached to bells, to prevent Abyssals from infecting the bells. They're heavily trained to resists the abyss but no living being is that strong... #indiegames #fantasyart #gameart #art #grimdark

Porky's Spiritober Day 24: Porcine The snowy blood worshippers respect their Mask Maker immensely. They create masks out an alloy of gold and blood for each inhabitant and make sure to capture their character within the Porcine face #indiegames #gamedev #gameart #fantasyart #grimdark

Porky's Spiritober Day 23: Reliquary In the society of the Shattered, the past takes center stage. Relics, artifacts and sounds of the past. They employ reliquaries fashioned to be carried to battle and across their homelands. Pots with horned lids, as the relics shine from inside #indiegames #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 22: Agony The Blossom of Agony is a dancer of the Cathedral of Suffering, and one of its founders. She dances while her hands are pierced by searing irons, her dress weighted, her skirts bladed to cut onlookers, while hiding her emotions #indiegames #gameart #fantasy #grim

Porky's Spiritober Day 21: Stake The nomadic tribes of the Windswept Sands hide and attack the Cursed from heavily organized ambushes, not even producing a sound, all signs of battle disappearing in the sands underneath. #indiegames #fantasy #gameart #fantasyart #grimdark #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 20: Eerie The Marble Glade is eerie by itself, but recently there's been reports of the marble statues moving, stalking people, but no movement has ever been sighted by anyone, only a scary feeling from behind them. #indiegames #fantasyart #gameart #grimdark #fantasy #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 19: Host Goblin society gathers around the "Wheel of Rights" hosted by a horrible but charismatic goblin. This wheel decides which goblin clan will lose some of their rights for the next period, as they cheer thinking they won. #indiegames #fantasyart #art #gamedev #grimdark

Porky's Spiritober Day 18: Macabre Altarwood, a magical tree, is used to create relics. But once a baby creature got stuck in a hollow trunk and grew from its sustenance and magic. Now "The Beast" hunts villagers in the forest with ferocity unseen. #indiegames #gamedev #fantasyart #grimdark #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 17: Immovable The Eternal Crucible is a worthy foe for the Magma Folk, indeed. But the Magma folk have huge weapons in store. Affectionately called "Walls" these colossal warriors serve as their protectors and immovable obstacles for the Crucible. #indiegames #gameart #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 16: Ooze The swamps are littered with grotesque markers along the roads. Once priests of pestilence, now crumbling life forms from which disease oozes as their souls wane and the poison consumes them. #indiegames #gamedev #gameart #fantasyart

Porky's Spiritober Day 15: Doll A porcelain doll, affectionately called "Drama Queen", who gathers spirit scrolls from the gravestones of the dead, reads their secrets and spreads the drama to her friends, but also serves as a vessel for their memories. #indiegames #gameart #fantasy #grimdark #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 14: Lighthouse An enchanted Lighthouse made by the Sunless Realms. Sent to the abyssal core to dissipate it, has been infected by the very thing it was designed to defeat. Now it wanders the lands and spreads ever darker shadows upon it #indiegames #gamedev #fantasyart #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 13: Deathrattle In the Gluttonous Food Courts, heads of the priests who eat their fill split open into a new maw full of sharp teeth. This mouth symbolizes how they're closer to serving their dark deity and gargles Deathrattles of feasts past. #Indiegames #fantasy #gamedev

Porky's Spiritober Day 12: Deep Deep, deep, under even the deepest of oceans lies a forgotten place of death and silence, where hunters with pale, eyeless faces crawl along the ocean floor, seeking prey through the smallest of sounds. #indiegames #gamedev #fantasyart #darkfantasy #grimdark #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 11: Torch The small Lunar Cult gathers with strange torches and assembles them to serve as a beacon for the creatures from the moon to descend to. They must be very careful about the shape they make, don't want to summon the wrong thing #indiegames #gamedev #gameart #fantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 10: Nectar In the Shimmering Mines, a glowing and viscous liquid the workers call "Nectar" is consumed, which gives them insane energy and devotion to their work and craft. A mysterious drink brought up from deep below. #indiegames #fantasy #darkfantasy #grimdark #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 9: Spirit At the Unfair, merriment and fun are to be had, but you're not going to get in if you're a mortal. Undead creatures of all kinds play games, have fun and even the grumpy ones can get pranked by wandering Clown Spirits. #indiegames #fantasyart #grimdark #gameart

Porky's Spiritober Day 8: Seal A professor at the Great Academy once combined magic and science to create a new kind of sorcery, despite the Academy being an opponent of Magic. He mysteriously left his post, but there's signs he still hides in the Academy #indiegames #gameart #fantasyart #grimdark

Porky's Spiritober Day 7: Veil Part of the Cosmic Excursion, these Veiled creatures scout for a mysterious mineral and defend the Excursion from attackers. Their Veils give them near invisibility as they sneak up and and slash with their sharp claws. #indiegames #gameart #darkfantasy #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 6: Holy Servants of the light, upon reaching complete piety, are transformed into Light Wyrms. This is the form of pure light, but it also grants the truth, they learn of the cruelty of light and its many evil deeds but have no way to speak about it #indiegames #gameart #art

Porky's Spiritober Day 5: Fae The strange Fae sometimes cross into the realm but pose no threat to others. They just aimlessly float across the land with their twisted root bodies enchanted with druidic powers. What could they be looking for? #indiegames #darkfantasy #art #gameart #fantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 4: Uncanny Brutal cretures masquerade themselves as mortals to lure in victims. Clothes not fitting, the mask being out of place, eyes in the wrong places and distorted speech are all signs to run and not look back... #indiegames #gameart #inktober #inktober2025 #darkfantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 3: Ash In the Eternal Crucible, priests consume the ashes of the deceased to gain their memories and become walking vessels for the dead, while the ashes of not so savory dead can't be consumed and are left to fade #indiegames #gameart #art #fantasy #fantasyart #darkfantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 2: Mausoleum Abyssal creatures have strange and twisting bodies which can't be contained by normal cages or prisons. Abyss Hunters have created a devious way of trapping them, using bars made of a alloy which twists to fit the body of the Abyssal. #indiegames #gameart #fantasy

Porky's Spiritober Day 1: Rosary An obsessed collector of rosary beads trying to prevent any curse from gripping him as he admires the shiny beads and wraps his entire face in them. #indiegames #gameart #art #fantasy #fantasyart #darkfantasy #grim

Just got into Bluesky. Will be doing a 'tober challenge I created called "Porky's Spiritober" sticking to grayscale coloring and a ghostly cyan to create a piece each day. #indiegames #gameart #art #fantasy #fantasyart #darkfantasy #grim
