What Kind Of Art Do You Like??

What kind of art do you like??

Thank you for the ask!

I consider myself someone with a pretty wide range when it comes to my taste in art. There’s something to be appreciated in every piece of art work. That being said I do have certain things I enjoy more in art.

I’m a huge fan of anything super stylized or unrealistic. Things like cartoons, surrealist art or abstract paintings. I also love colour, the more eyestrain the better.

In terms of the subject of the art, I like weird things. Floating eyeballs and spirals and bugs and body horror. Horror art and pieces with super cryptic messages or weird symbolism are high on my list.

Sculptures, paintings, digital art and traditional art are probably my favourite mediums of art. Oil pastels are something I am especially fond of, both in art I make and art I look at.

I think that about covers everything. I love art just in general, its rare I find a style I genuinely dislike, but those are my favourite qualities in art.

My favourite boys <3 I’m working on some bigger pieces and more gijinka designs, but you can expect more of these two soon(ish).

also ik i just sent one but i cannot pass up the chance to infodump about a story me and a friend are working on because let’s be real no one irl actually cares. it’s more of a concept so far, as in we’ve done a lot of world building but not much actual writing of the story.

so it’s about this kid called ellis who’s like 5/6? and she’s grown up in a giant house in the woods with a creature sewn together frankenstein-style from who knows what. she barely sees it, although it occasionally leaves dead animals on the large dining table for her to eat (it doesn’t have a very good concept of what human children might want to eat).

i’m the woods near her house lives a mountain spirit. they’re normally quite social creatures, who tend to live in large communities in cave systems and such, yet this one seems to be living alone. she keeps seeing it, and suspects it may be stealing her possessions (although it profusely denies these accusations).

nearby, in a nicer section of woodland, another girl called ruth lives with her parents in a cottage. she has never left these woods, and has never needed to, for her parents grow their own food and are probably vegan i guess so no need for anything else???????? it is always raining in these woods, because her parents angered a petty weather witch before ruth was born and she cursed the rain to forever follow them. ruth herself is cursed by a demon, who she believes to be her friend. seeing as she is also about 5, and her parents cannot see it, they have always assumed it to be her imaginary friend.

ellis’ mother was a witch, and when her child was stillborn, she made a deal with something (we haven’t decided what lol) that every year, until her child’s 4th birthday, she must bring another child as a sacrifice in return for her daughter to live. she had 4 years to spend with her child, and must then exchange her soul in return for ellis to live. knowing that she won’t be around to look after her much longer, she constructs a creature to look after ellis once she is gone.

also the demon haunting ruth is not her friend

there’s some other stuff, but the ideas aren’t fully constructed, and the story changes everytime i tell it haha

sorry if that was a bit long

That actually sounds so cool. I’d love to read it if/when you guys finish it. I love odd and mysterious creatures. I’ve got a story I’m working on myself and I’m in a similar situation. I’ve got character designs, I know what I want the world to be like, I know what I want to happen in it, I just need to actually start writing.

Don’t worry about writing something too long either, I love reading about cool stories like this.

He looks like he’s about to sell me car insurance <3

wait hell I just saw the tags. have you seen mystery flesh pit national park? I feel like it'd be up your alley

I have heard of mystery flesh pit, but I haven’t taken the time to look into it much. It does seem like something I’d like though, I’m a sucker for weird body horror-ish stuff. I’ll probably hunt down some YouTube video analysis on it sometime soon though, it sounds really cool.

have you ever died your hair?

I have! I’ve died it dark red, neon pink and black. I cut my hair recently so it’s back to it’s natural colour for now, but I want to dye it again soon. I’m thinking maybe a nice forest green or something.
