THE DISEMBOWELER - 2012 - One of several Dead Space necromorph creature designs that I created after being inspired by the horrific videogame series by Visceral Games. I'm psyched to hear there's going to be a @deadspaceremake of the original game by @ea & @ea.motivestudio. Time to bring out the plasma cutter & dismember some more space zombies! Newly released signed A3 prints of this artwork & more are now up for grabs at my Store & @etsy (Link in bio). You can also grab other merch of him at my @redbubble (link on Store) & process videos of others at my @youtube channel. 2012. Mixed Media.

APPARITION - 2011 - Signed prints now live at my Store! One of my first My Shadows pieces and one I still really enjoy. Taking a different approach to art making by focusing on the textures and splatter art that's achieveable with using different @photoshop brushes was a great way to experiment with my process. If you head to the Resources tab on my website you can download the @photoshop brushes I've sourced from various @deviantart artists brush packs from over the years for free. There's also more info and a guide on how to use them. Let me know if you've checked them out! 🖌🎨💀 #myshadows #darkartsociety #creepyart #perthartforsale #austenmengler #ghostart #horrorartbook #artbooks #apparition #halloweenart #monsterart #nightmarefuel #scaryartist #gothicartwork #onlineart #perthhorrorart #apparition #splatterart #photoshopbrushes #darksurrealism #cosmichorror #darkart #horrorprints #skullartist #horrorpainting #horror #abstractart (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT1OWyIltSe/?utm_medium=tumblr

PURIFICATION - 2012 - A full comic page digital illustration I created for the Romantically Apocalyptic online comic series. It was during my first years of freelance work after graduating @curtinuniversity (which was 10 years ago now! Crazy how time flies.) Started as several pencil drawings of skeletons scanned & painted digitally in @photoshop with my @wacom tablet. Was definitely one of those level-up pieces. I did another big skeleton piece for the comic as well. 🖌💀🎨 Signed A3 prints of this one have been restocked & more are available at my Online Store. I've been updating my Facebook, Instagram & @etsy stores with more of the products that are at my website. Feel free to check it out for the full range (including original drawings).

Tentacootie - 2015 - Signed prints are now live at my Store! (Link on profile). A little girl demon for My Shadows Volume II. Painted in @photoshop CC with a @wacom Intuos Pro tablet.

SURVIVOR SLAYER 2015 - The post apocalyptic minotaur from my scifi horror fantasy series EXECUTION. Signed prints are at my Store! Swipe to see my original 2012 painting as well as my more recent 2018 @inktober ink illustration. Which version do you prefer? The Survivor Slayer is a hardened outcast predator, who hunts the remaining survivor colonies for prey & sport in the wasteland cities of the apocalypse. Adorning himself with armour from his victims, he is a skilled killer who has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal. His mechanical scythe, pistols, grenades and flail make him a deadly adversary. 🔪 His origins remain unknown, but he has a vital part to play in the story that unfolds. 🖼 You can read more about Execution at my website & signed A3 prints are available to order worldwide at my Store (Link in bio). 🇦🇺 He's also been on my convention banner at my past conventions here in Perth & around Australia, and is great company at my booth! I've recently added some "Guides" for my print series Execution, My Shadows & Pop Horror on my profile, so feel free to check them out too. A great way to browse my art collections over the years all in one place. Thanks everyone and let me know what you think! Hope you're doing well. 💀⚔ 2015. Mixed Media.

VAMPIRE - Inktober 2019 No. 10. Last year for @inktober I joined some of my fellow Aussie art buddies in doing @thelostboyscollective Inktober custom prompt list challenge. I won't have time for new Inktober this year as I've got a lot of new artwork, upcoming events and exciting things to finish already, but have a collection of unreleased artworks from the series so more are on the way. 🤘💀 Here's Day 10's prompt - Vampire! Done in a couple of hours with pens, markers & inks. I've added some original drawings of my Inktober 2018 & 2019 artworks & pre-order prints for sale at my Online Store, feel free to check the link in my bio.

MR. SELF DESTRUCT II - A new personal painting in my upcoming My Shadows Vol. II dark horror art book. This one is all about the unhealthy stress of being your own worst enemy and inner self critic, when things build up too much to a breaking point. Also check out a picture of the original ink, pencil and marker illustration from one of my many sketchbook that I scanned and painted in @photoshop with my @wacom intuos pro tablet. The title is inspired by the @nineinchnails song from their 1994 album "The Downward Spiral". Check out prints of my original 2015 Mr. Self Destruct digital painting and the My Shadows Volume 01 art book on my Online Store at my website. Released as an early access for my patrons on my Patreon, check out the link on my profile to check it out. Let me know what you think, I've got a lot more dark personal artworks like this one coming soon. Thanks for the support and all the best! 🤘💀 - Austen Mengler #horrorart #myshadows #austenmengler #darkarts #creepy #surrealhorror #horrorbooks #horrorartist #nin #darkartandcraft #mixedmediaart #digitalpaintings #darkhorror #arthorror (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9OeQRjU-C/?igshid=ucly27jgjmdm

"A band of demonic warriors from the warp, come to cause destruction and carnage to the survivors of the post apocalyptic Earth. The mechanically enhanced survivors in the world of Execution have a lot of enemies, and these minions of the dark lords are just the beginning. The warp portals open the world to many different dimensions and times, thus the threat to humanity has never been more vast." For Execution. Started as a pencil drawing that I scanned and painted in Photoshop CC with my Wacom tablet.
