This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Reminds me of this painting by ZdzisΕ‚aw BeksiΕ„ski

It evokes some kind of... uncanny feeling

Big fan of BeksiΕ„ski and this work in particular. I wasn't directly inspired by it, but I guess the influence shows!

Getting stick bugged in 2025 is now lethal. 😱

Washington DC is that way

Reminds me of Junji Ito's balloon heads:

Feels like something that would be in the Deadlands rpg. Maybe following or announcing the arrival of a Hanging Judge.

Awwww, who's a good lil noose? You are!! πŸ₯°

Sorry, it was obligatory πŸ˜…. This is really beautiful, thank you for sharing your art with us

This is very cool. How did you get the idea?

Thanks! I like drawing insectile creatures and been wanting to do a noose/gallows piece for a while now (without turning too macabre) so these ideas merging was kinda inevitable.

Nice, it makes me think of a medieval version of Siren Head.

Ha, love that idea

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 5 points 2 days ago

ooo this definitely evokes a feeling, but I can't quite place it

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love the playfully dystopian mood; insect legs and a noose from human hair. So many things done right. Even the stance is like a disney giraffe falling and lurching. I enjoy. Should put this on a real canvas.

Beautiful description, thank you!

If Half-Life 2 were medieval fantasy instead of sci-fi.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

So ... how do we engineer these creatures?

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Great use of fog here

[–] halfsalesman@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sounds and looks vaguely like a Magic The Gathering card.

"Running from the hangman's noose had always been just a figure of speech"

My years of playing MTG have finally caught up to me!
