~Welcome to the

Rotting Place~

Hi! My name is Gush. I use it/its pronouns, I’m an artist, and I’m the Grime Holder of the Peppercorn System. Welcome to my art blog!

Before we go any further, yes. I exclusively do horror art, pretty typically body horror. If that isn’t your thing, please don’t go any further!

I love cute stuff like little bunnies and kitties and having fun with friends. It’s just that I also find vermin cute. I love cute little scurrying cockroaches, I really admire parasites, and I think the collective movement of maggots are gorgeous! I love decay art just as much as I love hanging out with friends and trying on new accessories.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy!

Hi friends! Just giving a reminder; These kinds of comments are scams! Please be careful, never reply to them, and always block. Keep yourselves safe, friends!

I drew on the wrong layer twice in a row and then had to undo a bunch. Twice. Man…

Hello, friends! Not my usual, but I decided to experiment tonight with lights and shadows by doing an art piece of the moon! I go back and forth here a lot because I’ve never really worked on this kind of piece before and this is more outside of my style. Remember, it’s okay to experiment and learn.

I’m calling him ‘Mr. Moon’. Again, a timelapse has been included to prove no AI was used in the making of this art.

Fuck it at this point can y’all actually start supporting indie animation and indie games made by black artists/creators because I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone hyping these racist phase mediocre white people that get 90% of their humor from 2000s newgrounds animations

For the people asking “How am I supposed to find them?” Look them up, it’s that easy.

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

For games, there are TONS of lists out there like these:

Games Developed By Black Developers You Should Look Out For - IGN

In celebration of Black History Month, here's a roundup of games made by black developers that should be on your radar.

Don’t forget, your local comic cons are an excellent place to connect with Black artists in your area! Authors, comic publishing teams, artists- They’ll all be there! Not to mention, you get some awesome new prints, books, comics, and so on! So don’t forget to look for them in the artist alleys! ❤️

Hi friends! I managed to finish him! I had a lot of fun working on this piece. Making a creature wearing a mask felt very therapeutic at the time. I usually don’t mess with the live brushes on Adobe, but the watercolor really helped get that unnaturally smooth look for the blending of the face!

Below is the finished product, plus a timelapse! I’ve always loved watching artists timelapses, but I also think they can be helpful in this day and age to dissuade accusations of using AI. The music used in the timelapse is Nicole Dollenganger’s “Alligator Blood”.

I’m calling this one “See Me”. ❤️

Hi friends!

Gush here, just working on something. Isn’t he so handsome? I like to think he borrowed skin since he lost his. Maybe there are maggots in there and they’re one big, happy family! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

He’s not finished yet, but I wanted to share this to help prevent any accusations, since so many artists are being suspected of AI these days. Which, by the way, AI isn’t art!

Love you lots. Remember to feed your tapeworms!
