They are in a forced perspective pose where one rapier is held guarded towards the viewer and the other is held lower as if they are on the defense. They have bird skull accessories, with two bird skulls adorning their shoes and bird skull earrings.

A post from Sharon O’dea, an AI-positive person, who said “it will never not be mental that the man who promised to reinvent public transport only to deliver something inferior to the bus is now a trillionaire because the market thinks he can reinvent space travel” in regards to an article about Elon Musk. I quoted her post with, “it will never not be mental that the people who promised to reinvent art and literature only to deliver something inferior to human creativity are now billionaires because the market thinks they can reinvent imagination.”

A warhammer 40,000 space marine with purple and red chromatic armor that has oxidized and rusted in areas and is trimmed in vibrant gold. The space marine's armor is covered in alchemical symbols of amalgamation, sulfur, verdigris, rot, and gold. There are prayer seals all over the armor. Blood drips from their armor and the hammer they are holding in their right hand. In their left hand, they hold a chain that is leashed to a creature that looks like a mix of animal, human, and tyranid, with a distended skull that looks like it could have once belonged to a person. The creature is also covered in blood. It appears to be obedient to the space marine.
a work in progress painting of a concept design for a warhammer space marine chapter/faction. The space marine's armor is a chromatic plum and deep bloody red coloration with oxidation, rust, and texture with a bright red shiny highlight and luminous golden accents. Paints of alchemical symbols decorate the armor; one symbol for gold, one for rot, one for verdigris, one for amalgamation, and one for sulfur. The space marine holds a large rusty copper hammer in their right hand, and holds a chain leash in their other that is tethered to an amalgamated beastly creature that has numerous limbs of varying size and mutatedness. It has a gaping maw of teeth and it has a facial shape that looks somewhat like a distended human skull. The hammer is covered in blood as though the space marine just finished pummelling something to death.
work in progress of a warhammer space marine and an amalgamated creature with countless limbs. It has gangly limbs and an animal, human, and tyranid-like skull and sunken human eyes. The space marine holds the creature by the chain like it is a dog. He holds a bolt pistol in his other hand.

It has long sharp pointed teeth like an angler fish, and a bioluminescent lure-shaped tongue to boot.

Timelapse of the portrait in the post above. The portrait is of James Acaster, a comedian. The portrait utilizes a lot of blue and pink tones for shadows and highlights
a very very loose stylized portrait of the comedian James Acaster from his special Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999. The portrait uses a lot of blue and pink tones.
a painting of messmer the impaler from elden ring's shadow of the erdtree DLC. Flames surround him as his serpent curls over his back. A great cavernous maw replaces where his right eye used to be, and his left eye is closed, presumably also missing. In the right eye socket, flames pour out, and deep in the cavity there is a small serpentine shape, eating away at something in a coiled ball. His skin on his face is mostly falling away from what looks like burns. The darkest colors of his scars seem to meld with his bright red hair.
timelapse process of painting the above; a giant aspen tree towers over a knight that approaches the tree in awe. Bodies hang on maypoles around the base of the tree as offerings to it. Shoots of the tree climb up the maypoles to harvest the bodies.

timelapse of the image described above, messmer the impaler, surrounded by flames. The video shows my process all the way from underpainting sketch to top layers, and every minor correction along the way.

A white PC case full of fans and tons of cables sprouting out of it like awful plant vines. It’s clear from its appearance that it is a work in progress
A charcoal grey shirt with an Eagle flying towards the viewer holding an AK rifle that says “get that boot out your mouth”
A series of 3 painting made to look somewhat like comic panels. Each panel shows a very large black fluffy dog creature wandering different landscapes and coexisting alongside deer for most of its journey. In the last panel, it walks alongside a dog-like forest spirit that is green and covered in bark-like growths. Floating lightning bugs are close by.
A religious magister/priest is on his knees looking skyward. He is bathed in intense red light, his eyes are glowing red, he has a red halo surrounded by eyes behind him, and blood pours down his face. His hands are clasped in prayer but his hands are spiked together with a nail. He holds a necklace in the shape of a crossed out eye as he prays. Chains are clasped around his entire body, some around his neck and many around his waist.
A photo of my desk setup. There are two monitors and an XP pen display tablet. Included in the picture is my keyboard, mouse, numpad, and a controller.
A painting of a knight on horseback during a storm. His horse looks to the sky in terror as a dragon flies overhead, casting its enormous shadow onto them. The knight, unbothered by the dragon’s presence, looks before him towards a young man wielding a sword, standing at the ready. The knight is surrounded by barking snarling dogs that he commands, and they begin to approach the young man with the sword, ready to launch their attack. The fight seems unevenly matched. The painting is dark, tense, and dramatic.
self portrait gif. Two versions of my face rotate around an opening and closing golden eye. The two versions of myself are pinks, purples, and blues. One version of myself has white eyes and a hole in the head as well as various forms of self-depcrecating text faintly appearing on the skin. The other ias just me with a neutral expression.

Pan seared salmon with a light chicken and fish stock based sauce, brussel sprouts with some char, and mac and cheese. It looks surprisingly put together and pleasant.
