Digital black and white ink illustration using extensive fine contour hatching, title at bottom: Just Relent. A huge swirling tangled mass of gnarled roots fill the entire canvas, spiraling down into a black pit. A pair of hands are grasping onto one large root-tendril while the entire rest of the person is engulfed in more twisting roots and being pulled down into the pit.

Digital greyscale illustration, title at bottom: The Futility of Sorrow. A humanoid form sits slumped, their head a bare skull looking up with jaw open unnaturally wide. Their teeth are long, twisted tree roots flowing up in a mass beyond the top of the canvas. Their hands are resting in their lap, palms up and relaxed. The parts so far described are shaded with fine contour hatching. Their body is solid black. The background shows a large circle with viscous strands of thick black fluid (or sludge) stretching across it. The rest of the background is grey static.

Digital pencil greyscale illustration, title at bottom: With Their Lies They Become Me. A horse from the chest up, its head raised up as if in motion. The entire top of their head is exploding out with just torn flesh and no blood, while black fluid splashes out of its mouth. White flowing/electric masses fly out and away from the torn head and its open mouth. The background is almost solid black, manually filled in with pencil.
a much closer, cropped view from a section of the original post's image of the hands and some of the roots.

Digital black and white illustration, title at bottom: Voided Storms. A horse creature has a skull head and its torso ripped open, showing bending ribs. It rears up from a massive, endless bed of twisting roots that covers most of the lower half of the canvas. Solid black smoke or mist flows from its torso and neck into and around an exploding shaft stuck into the roots-covered ground. Shards fly across the canvas. A large beam of veined light comes from the sky and hits the ground in the distance behind the creature. The background shows a starry night sky and mountains in the distance. The piece is shaded in extensive crosshatching and contour hatching.
Digital black and white ink illustration. The subject is a humanoid creature shown from the waist up, with at least 6 arms and a horse skull head on a long neck of stylized plant roots. More hands and arms are emerging from its expansive, twisting and tearing flesh to cover most of the lower half of the canvas. All of the hands are grabbing and reaching out as if in crisis. A large, deep hole is in its upper chest, torn flesh as its border. The piece is shaded using extensive, precise crosshatching.

a work in progress digital ink drawing. numerous gnarled roots twist around a person as they are struggling and reaching up. the person's face is just gnarled flesh with no features. the roots almost completely cover them. some roots are burrowing into the center of their face, ripping it open with solid black within. their long hair flies everywhere, getting caught in and twisting around the roots.

Digital color illustration of a long, furry Furby dragon in pastel colors. Title at bottom reads: Furagon. Its hair and mane go all the way down the top of its body, ending in a long tail with lots of long strands of hair. Its body is curled and twisting in loops and semicircles. Its mouth and eyes are wide open and it's staring intently past the canvas with small pupils.

digital color illustration, title at bottom: Furbicorn. A lavender-colored Shetland pony is rearing up. Instead of a horse head, they have a Furby face with mouth open, looking up to the sky. They have a stout unicorn horn. Their mane and tail are blue, and their horn is neon green at the base fading to neon yellow at the tip. Small neon yellow stars sparkle around their upper body and head.
Digital greyscale illustration, title at bottom: The Consequence. a wide shot with forced perspective, viewed from the edge of the space toward the center. a flat white area with a person sprawled on the ground in the center. their face is just gnarled flesh, and thick black fluid is spattered under and on them. an enormous amount of writhing woody vines push out of the ground and reach toward the person, in a huge radius from the edges of the area. more black fluid drips up and down the featureless walls.

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

two-part promo graphic for my inprnt gallery at xenianth and my merch shop at hormse.threadless.com. the print side features a many-legged horselike creature, and the merch side is a 4 by 4 grid of T-shirts with Furby creature illustrations on the fronts. In the center is a circular Furby unicorn sticker with colorful text that says: No thoughts only magic.

digital color illustration with clean line work and simple coloring, title at bottom: Trans Galrian Rapidash. it is a rearing unicorn, its mane and tail and feathering are light blue and pink, and its body is white. it's on a stylized geometric patterned background which is also in trans flag colors.
close crop of an in-progress digital ink drawing. there are twisting roots climbing on and in flesh and part of a canine maw, shaded with tons of fine contour hatching.
digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

Digital illustration in flat, muted, cool earthy tones, title at bottom: The Blighted Conjurer. A six-limbed being comprised of gnarled, twisted vines and roots has a horse skull head. The vines/roots are attached to its arms as if the arms are growing from them. It is in a forested body of water with its head leaning out and over. Black viscous fluid flows from the cavity in its nose down into a mass on top of the water. The piece is not shaded, using intricate line work and flat colors to show depth.
