It was my plan to unwind from work stress this evening by working on this... But potential #thebandghost tours has thrown all relaxation out of the window... Kudos if you recognise what it's parodying. #workinprogress

So I took my confetti and tickets and Mummy Buck and made my SkeleJar whole. 💜 (first comment has a bonus pic of the lid~) [ #thebandghost #skeletour ]

If the rumours about #thebandghost headlining download fest are true, that probably means no UK concert dates this time around... I don't want to do big festivals. So, from a personal perspective that's kind of a relief to be honest, as I'm super busy next week and can't do Ticketmaster wars...

When Cowbell Ghuleh met Cowbell Ghoul! I was lucky enough to win a photograph with (and signed photos of) Ludwig Kennberg, the Studio Drummer for Meliora & Prequelle and Niels Nielsen, the original Cowbell Ghoul, in the cosplay contest at GhostconUK. #thebandghost #cosplay #ghostcon #papavperpetua

Slowly chipping away at something not Ghost... I Just keep loosing steam with it... All the Ghostcon stuff kinda overwhelmed me (in the best possible way) #fanart #dogma #dogmaband

Some work in progress on a #ghostly Xmas painting! Would anyone be interested in Xmas cards with this one? #ghost #thebandghost #ghostband #ghostbc #papaemeritus #papav #papapepetua #skeleta

A Reluctant King. Experimental piece, just trying out a slightly different, simpler, rendering style... #thebandghost #fraterimperator #papavperpetua #copia #fanart (Also been a bit since I last posted any artwork so I felt I needed to get something out...)

Do Not Buy this! As I've seen this ad around. Even if it the figures were real and looked like that (they don't), this was made by putting stolen fan art through some kind of generator... I know because I follow someone who's art was very clearly lifted and "funko-ized" to "make" this.

Feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. Was going through all the gifts and trades from Ghostcon to make my shadow box , so I was already feeling quite emotional, and then I find out I'm on metal hammer's social media. #thebandghost

So... I won best dressed Papa in the cosplay at Ghostcon! Still can't quite believe that happened! A bit overwhelmed if I'm honest! 2 years ago I was terrified at the idea of doing cosplay, so It means the world to me! Video by the amazing Keyboard Ghoulette on Insta! #thebandghost #cosplay

Full costume test for Ghostcon on Saturday... While it's not perfect, and I had to simplify the design compared to the real thing, I am really proud of it. It's the most complex #cosplay I've ever made. #thebandghost #papavperpetua

Full costume test before ghostcon. Waiting for the rain to stop to take photos... #thebandghost #cosplay #papavperpetua

Something basic... I got about five half started pieces, (including some non ghost things) but just haven't felt particularly motivated to draw lately partly due to personal stuff... So I did this just to get the creative juices flowing again. #thebandghost #fanart #papaemeritusiv #copia

Still trying to break out of art block, and I need to de-stress from a particularly difficult few days at work. So have some more steampunk/ industrial/ mecha #Copia, because my brain is too fried to come up with new ideas right now! #thebandghost

Another WIP... Frater's face is so hard to get right... #thebandghost #fanart #workinprogress

It is finished... Will need to do a full costume test before Ghostcon on Saturday but I wanted to see how it looks with the cape and belt. Should be more regular art posts again now, this thing has been eating my free time over the last two months. #cosplay #thebandghost #papavperpetua

I got Dogma tickets!!!!! 😅 So relieved... Took ten minutes for them to pop up on Ticketmaster... (At first it looked like they'd sold out within 30 seconds!) #dogma #dogmaband

I am currently worrying about getting tickets for a smaller band tomorrow. Even though I know they're very unlikely to sell out quickly. I am dreading when Ghost announces again, especially as I want VIP so I can avoid another Transphopic incident in the GA line. I do not cope well with stress XD

Finishing off a piece I abandoned... Partly to prove to myself and the depression that I can draw something other than Ghost / Papas! Though the themes are quite similar... #workinprogress

Oh i forget to show this art here…oops #thebandghost #cardinalcopia

Been one of those evenings where I've done loads of sketches... But I'm not particularly happy with any of them... Here's two of them though. #sketch #thebandghost

One of the items up for bid in our charity auction on behalf of GonstFM and Rockabilia. One of the last remaining Phantomime Skate decks 👀 go.rallyup.com/slashcancer/...

Remind me to never do a mosaic again 😅 #ghost #papavperpetua #perpetua #thebandghost #papaemeritusv #digitalart #art #artist

It's so close to being done... Just a bit on the collar and one of the sleeves left... (Got the belt hooked over the dress's shoulder to keep it on the hanger) #thebandghost #cosplay #papavperpetua

Machine stitching all done... Just a lot of hand sewing on gems / rhinestones now... #cosplay #thebandghost #papavperpetua

Now my #PapaVPerpetua #cosplay has reached a stage where I need to be at a table &/or sewing machine to work on it I'm back to working on this for my late evening #embroidery now... Plus a cat for scale... #thebandghost

Don't go poking around in the ministry's history, it has some very literal skeletons in the closet. Or, the new Papa finds out about what happened to his predecessors. I felt like doing something vaguely horror/ slasher ish. #thebandghost #papavperpetua #fraterimperator

Just an update I've shared on my other socials. Hopefully I'll have some new art to post soon, life's just been a bit full on recently.

Dress progress... #thebandghost #cosplay #papavperpetua

This. I enjoyed VIP (I did 2 rituals 1 VIP & 1 ga) especially as it was my first ever concert, but the merch was disappointing... But I will get VIP again if I can... Priority check in was better for my anxiety & my GA was a bit spoiled 'cus I was stuck queuing next to someone awful #thebandghost

Our Skeletour review is out now! youtu.be/Zm2atrGmNSg?... #ghost #thebandghost

uh . heres som recent art of lilith i guess [i forgot how to operate on bsky] #swdoc_lilith #sisterofsinoc #thebandghostoc

Full version of the line work because I'm gonna have to put colouring this on hold until after ghostcon. #thebandghost #terzo #fanart #meliora

I’m only here to post things again. Doom scrolling is not an option. #GhostBC #Thebandghost #ghostband #sketches

This took so long... And I still need to colour it... #thebandghost #meliora #terzo #workinprogress #fanart

People have been asking me to draw #papaemeritusiii #Terzo again for a while. Idk if this is the kind of thing Terzo folk want, but it's what I'm doing 😂 #thebandghost #workinprogress #meliora

I wish I could be saying I'm ritual ready but it's probably gonna be a while until they come back to the UK 😂 So this is my costume test for ghostcon, really looking forward to seeing everyone again. #thebandghost #papavperpetua #cosplay #ghostcosplay

Doing a full costume check with my cassock before ghostcon, just in case I don't get the dress done and something needs fixing or adjusting. #thebandghost #cosplay #papavperpetua

Sketch... Been one of those evenings where I can't settle to one drawing so produce loads of scribbles like this... #thebandghost #sketch #workinprogress

It is finished!! Sorry for the very cropped image, I don't like posting my face without the full papal skull paint, but I just had to try it on! I'm really proud of it 😂 #thebandghost #cosplay

Xenomorph Papa... Because someone commenting the bone cassock looks like a facehugger stuck to his arse has always stuck with me 😂 #thebandghost #papavperpetua #fanart

This is taking a lot longer to finish than I thought 😂 #thebandghost #papavperpetua

All pinned... I may actually be able to finish it on Sunday... #thebandghost #papavperpetua #cosplay #workinprogress

Creature... #thebandghost #papavperpetua #workinprogress

When you've got Xenomorphs on the brain but are a ghost fan... Taken a few attempts but I think I finally got a pose I like down... #thebandghost #sketch #workinprogress

So after having so much artwork stolen by fucking Temu I had some test prints done... Mainly to learn / practice how to properly format / export my work for printing. ... These are to give out / trade at #Ghostcon next month, so if you're gonna be there do come say hi :) #thebandghost

Idk if people are annoyed by the cosplay updates but I'm gonna keep posting them 😂 almost 3/4 done... #thebandghost #cosplay (I haven't been feeling particularly creatively inspired recently due to the usual depression cycle so just haven't been able to draw much unfortunately.)

Benefit by my mistakes! These pendants contain tiny flaws in the resin or in the picture alignment that make them unfit to be on rosaries, but they still are still wearable. I am selling them for $10 each. eldritchrosaries.etsy.com

"Draiky only draws cartoons" (me voice) lmao hold my beer (nobody actually told me this, I'm just giving myself a challenge) (speedpaint in the comments~) [ #thebandghost #papav #papavperpetua ]
