The Future Of My Artistic Journey
(spoilers: it's monsterfucking)
tl;dr: Starting work on a series of horror-centric, non-explicit, human/monster paintings. I'd love input on which creatures to work with. If you have fav creatures you'd like to see, let me know in the comments.
I've been feeling for a while that I need a bit of a new direction for my art.
I still love the Malevolent fandom, I still find it inspiring and I do want to keep on tinkering with that, but I also feel it's been a very long time since I've focused on personal original work and I've been craving it for a long while.
The recent paintings I've been doing for Malevolent made me realize that relationships between monsters and humans are something I feel very deeply about, so I want to continue exploring that, just not restricted to a given fandom.
As of yesterday, I've starting working on a series of paintings revolving around these ideas, the intersections between love, horror, worship and sexuality. I know I'm not inventing the wheel or anything, but I really love the points where these concepts collide and I suspect this is one of them famous two-cakes situations.
That being said, beyond a couple of scenes I have in mind already, (Cthulhu, I'm nothing if not predictable), I wanted to know what other monster-loving people might want to see.
I'm more focused on working with certain visual elements and concepts over specific characters in the image, so having a bit of direction for what to work on would help me a bunch, if only to figure out an order of priorities or options I may not have considered.
Animal hybrids, paranormal beings, mythological, fantasy, body horror, eldritch, aliens, I'm open to about anything. If you have a preference, just pop it in the comments!
