Hello new and returning Bluesky users! 👋 If you enjoy art like the works of H.R. Giger, Zdzisław Beksiński, and Mœbius with a darker edge (to name a few), you may be interested in the collective of artists featured in my Dark Surrealists starter pack. 🖤 go.bsky.app/Pr5BmKX

I'm a generative AI/LLM hater and proud to be one. I support *human* creativity. If you are, too, pass it on (repost/requote/whatever) Give me the joy and delight of seeing my feed populated with nothing but people hating on the tech & those that use it

Welcome back artists! Quote post with an old piece that you still like! I need to draw more slashers. #art #artsky #ghostface #slasher #horror

Share a smile! ✨ I mean, it's subtle but it's there. 😅

My Art vs Artist collage isn’t really an accurate reflection of everything I’ve worked on this year, but it’s still fun! I’ve got a more comprehensive summary coming later this week! •Website •Artist Links #ArtVsArtist #ArtVsArtist2025 #IndieArtist #Illustration #Art #BskyArt

Welcome back artists! 🖌️🎨✨ Quote post with an old piece that you still like!

QRP to reintroduce yourself! I'm Ren Varela, a freelance artist that specializes in dark, slightly surrealist fantasy illustrations, and character and creature designs.

I don't know why I'm bothering checking my e-mail for the possibility of an interview offer, I know full well all the offices I've applied to aren't going to be looking at applications again until after New Year's... lol 😅🙃

#ArtFight attack on @nodens.bsky.social of their OC Marekh! I really wanted to try and emulate some tinted/colored lighting effects that I've seen in some fashion photography with the blue and violets. 🪩 🎨 🖼️ #ArtFight2025 #TeamCrystals

Since Christmas is now so close I want to share this Starter Pack to support artists and their beautiful art! 🎄☃️ It's always helpful to reach more people! Reposts are appreciated 🫶🏻 #art #artistsupport #starterpack #artshare go.bsky.app/Nanm5f8

Started filling out my new planner for next year! 😊

No reason in particular... shiftypumpkin.etsy.com/listing/1734...

Trying to set a reading goal for next year (just for fun) & I'm caught between being realistic & idealistic. 😅 I do want to challenge myself & read my entire personal library (which is not very big at all but there are some I haven't read at all yet) so I should probably use that as my base number.

If you are an author, besides public domain art, you can also consider: find a piece you like and ask the artist if they will license it to you for your book cover. Most artists are likely amenable and it can be very affordable.

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

It vanished, so I followed... #Art #Darkart #Abstract

This little gem for today's #ArtAdventCalendar is a Black-throated Blue Warbler done for Waymakers in 2024. So tiny and so vibrant! 🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Remember: when linking to things like YouTube videos, etc. to remove the part of the URL that starts at "?si=" as it is a tracker. There are others, articles usually have ones that start with "utm" for instance. Let's all safeguard what we can of our data privacy, especially now.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

And yea that includes euphemisms like 'wendy's' 'windy bois' or whatever just. Stop associating that word with a deer cryptid entirely, that comes from a white guy stealing shit for his horror novel and is nothing like what it actually is.

Ive posted this before but reminder to not call your deer cryptid ocs 'w*nd*g*' just call them literally anything else. Skull deer, not-deer or anything, just stop appropriating native cultures thanks

So one of the many things I've been working on these past two months is getting things together to really utilize my Ko-fi page from the start of 2026. If you haven't followed my page yet, definitely make sure you do so you don't miss all the stuff I will be posting there! 🤍 ko-fi.com/cobaltcorvus

I have so many WIPs going and even though they're nearing completion, I'm still stuck on some vital bits to really make them come together and it's kinda stressing me out. 😅 Oh well. The upside to no deadlines is you can work on a piece until it's really done. Just gotta let the art cook.

Today’s #dreadcember post! #darkart #procreate #digitalart

Why is there always so much that needs to be done towards the end of the year? ._.

#Fanart Fr- uhhh Sunday! YEAHHH this marks the last of my silly challenge to draw Johnnie Redmayne 20 times this year. I did it!! Thanks again to Lu and the LH discord for making me do this lmao 🎨 #LordHuron
