Magnus Archives + Pixel Art + scury eyes sky = coolness

I've seen a lot of different Magnus Archives fanart and this is the piece that reminds me of weirdcore. I think because it has pixel art which gives that similar nostalgia vibes of weirdcore.

The Spirit Hunter Series: Death Mark & NG || Visual Novel || Video Game

I'm obsessed with this franchise. I love the art style in general, but the ghost designs in Death Mark I & II and NG were cool!

Death Mark II had an interesting plot, including the "big bad" of the game. I'm fascinated by the lore surrounding them, and I really would use it for inspiration for art and lore.

The Greylock Tapes || Analog Horror

I really loved the body horror in The Greylock Tapes. Disturbing, and awesome. I don't think I've seen stuff like this in other body horror stuff? Or maybe it was how it was executed.

I'm unsure, but it could've been one of the pieces that had me create a Pinterest Board with creepy stuff labeled "Comfort the Disturbed".

I would like to see if they used blender, photo composited, or some other third thing. It looks cool to me.

NO MATTER WHERE I TURN

MY BACK IS TOWARD THE LIGHT

I REACH FOR HELP

AND I GRASP AT AIR

WHAT’S LEFT OF MY BODY IS GONE

AND ALL THAT REMAINS OF MY SPIRIT

IS CAUGHT BETWEEN A SHADOW

AND THE MEMORY OF FORGIVENESS

Have any nightmares lately?

This figurine represents the Baku (獏 or 貘). The baku’s story originated in Chinese mythology as the mo (貘), believed to resemble a giant panda. It later evolved into a nightmare-warding figure in Japan.

Early depictions illustrate the baku as a chimera with the trunk and tusks of an elephant, the ears of a rhinoceros, the tail of a cow, the body of a bear, and the paws of a tiger. While this version was said to ward off pestilence and evil, its dream-devouring ability emerged later in Japanese culture. By the late 18th century, the baku as known as the guardian of sleep. One legend describes how a child waking from a bad dream could call out, “Baku-san, come eat my dream,” repeating it three times to summon the baku.

Folklore warns that calling the baku too often could have consequences—if left unsatisfied, it might consume not just bad dreams but also the person’s hopes and desires.
