For you ⭐ 🌱 • #WIP
A little guy grows from some dark, rusty colored goop! It has a star head that hangs from a stem, while the stem has one little leaf. A single eye dots the middle of its head. It's looking at something off-screen.

Nowhere to Run
✿ #gladCOWEdesign #Art
An odd knife with circular curves cut into its blade is front and center. It hovers above its place, protecting you, as coagulated blood and fluid drips up and down from the tip of the knife. "HIDE" is hidden behind the weapon. Its distorted text is bubbling and blending into the background.

For Your Sake & Mine
✿ #gladCOWEdesign #Art
A baseball bat with old, bent nails and screws greets you. It hovers above its place, blood dripping down its end. "RUN" is hidden behind the weapon. Its distorted text is bubbling and morphing into its own letter forms.

Stylized, gooping matter drips from the digitally drawn knife. The screenshot is zoomed in, making the drawing hard to parse, but one could imagine what this matter might actually be.

SOMETIMES, A HOUSE CALL 📿
✿ #PRIDE #gladCOWEdesign #Art
An illustrated, nude imp sits in the middle of this poster. Their facial expression is neutral yet haunted as they stare directly toward you. Bruises paint various parts of their body, including the left leg. The same leg is hiked up while blood is splattered against the bottoms of their sole and heel. A spiked frame surrounds this imp as a bloodied severed head lays against their lap in silence. The frame forms a halo around the culprit, who's hands are displaying religious gestures. The left hand has the index finger pointed upwards, signifying to the viewer to pay attention, while the right hand is a completely open palm signifying a righteous speaker with an absence of evil. The left hand also has a beaded rosary dangling from it. There's text sitting on the top and bottom of the frame. The top text reads "No rest for the" while the bottom text finishes the statement with "PURITAN". Smaller text sits underneath "PURITAN" in the form of a quote: "Isaiah 57:22 'There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.'"

PARTY HARD & FUCK HARDER ❤️‍🔥
✿ #PRIDE #gladCOWEdesign #Art
Illustrated imps of various shapes and sizes act as the focal point of this poster. Every single one is fully nude and errect: cocks, t-dicks, straps and all, and have devilish smiles on all of their faces. They're partaking in each other in a hedonistic celebration of the flesh. A spiked frame surrounds them all as watchful eyes are hidden at the top and bottom-most of the border. The background is a pale off-white, the imps are all colored in pink and blue, and big bold text is highlighted in the same colors as the imps. The text exclaims: "Rockin' Out with your COCK OUT"

A digitally painted and stylized strawberry half sits against a splatter of dark matter. Its inner flesh is wriggling, and the folds of its pit are dark and dripping with fluid.

Peach Pollen
✿ #gladCOWEdesign #Art
An illustrated mini-print of a stylized peach half and its slice. The whole painting has black stippled shading while the peach itself is thickly painted. A heart-shaped pit centers the whole design, while the peach itself is being penetrated by dark thorned brier. Juices flow from the punctured areas. More brier surrounds the peach, alongside subtle-colored pollen.

✿ #Vampbyte #gladCOWEdesign #Art #Logo
An artistic showcase of an updated logo set made for @vampbyte. The top-most of the mini-print hosts the full version of the new design and it's flattened color counterpart to the right of that. The words "Vamp" and "Byte" are stacked on top of each other while surrounded by a medieval style window frame and some candles. Below those are four inkwells that carry colored ink matching the design's new color palette. On the bottom-most of the mini-print are a favicon variant (Only using the "V" and "P" of "Vampbyte") and a simple straight-across variant of the main logo's wordmark. The rest of the mini-print is bordered by various decorative lines and flourishes, creating a box everything rests inside of. The same showcase as before, except now the background and it's decorative elements are in an off-white green color to show the logo suite with its original integrity.

An illustrated poster that showcases a large, crying dismembered eyeball being pierced by a letter opener. There's blood dripping down the knife that forms the phrase "Sensitive Sweetheart" near the bottom of the design. As the veins coming from the eye wriggle across the piece, trying to find purchase, they're surrounded by an equally veined ribbon border. The ribbons themselves frame the entire design and form a heart shape near the top, mimicking the heart-shaped ornament on top of the letter opener. An illustrated poster of a red carousal horse covered in overgrown brier and thorns. Blood drips from various wounds caused by said bondage. The horse itself is crying tears of black ooze, a similar consistency to its blood, as it breaks free from it's rigid position. The brier itself acts as a frame for the entire design. It surrounds a large set of text at the bottom of the piece. It reads as such: "ENOUGH. NO MORE ROT & STAGNATION"

A screenshot of a work in progress featuring a party of ambiguous fairies holding hands. The center fairy is pollinating a flower that makes up part of an organic border that surrounds the group. A work in progress of my "DEATH TO ALL" crane fly mini-print. The colors are not unified together, the crane fly hasn't finished its full mutation and the overall print is still incomplete. A work in progress of my new years poster. Theres a number of missing details, including the textured border surrounding the brier and horse, and the horse itself is missing many details. A work in progress of a logo titled "Royal Procession: International Postal Service". The "Royal Procession" text itself is a tall serif font with elegant flourishes on either ends and on the "P" of "Procession". The "International Postal Service" text is a more stout serif font, bordered by a thing banner. The entire design has a thin crescent moon resting behind it. Underneath the main design is a second version of the same logo, without the customized letter forms and details.

A small print with a punnet square of eyes at its center. The irises are illustrated and textured with blurred pupils. Some pupils are staring directly toward you while others are looking past the print. The pupil in the bottom right corner is mutilated as if splitting from itself like a multiplying cell.

Useless, Filthy Pests 🪰
✿ #gladCOWEdesign #Art
A graphic mini-print that features a massive, mutated and blackened crane fly at its center. The crane fly's limbs stretch across and reach over the design while being surrounded by mutilated flies and rows of mosquitos. Asymmetrical oranges and its blossoms help frame the print on the left and right-most edges. There's giant text that's heavily faded at the top and bottom-most edges of the print. It reads as such: "DEATH TO ALL. None shall be spared. All must perish by my hand. Hundreds will fall. Live to serve death." An alternate version of the same print. Now, the whole design is subtly brightened with the center crane fly highlighted by a spotlight.
