#octobit day 31: Halloween Special

October 31st 2022 was a bit of a day from hell for me. I was burned out and unable to think straight so I decided that rather than making a low effort piece on the final day I'd take a break and work on it in the morning. I'm glad I did.

It's over, I'm pretty happy with my work over all this month. I'll be posting everything together in a little while, and maybe some thoughts on the month.

#octobit day 30: Sci Fi

In my heart, the #spaceship design from Wallace and Gromit's Grand Day Out is still one of the ultimates. A true classic.

#octobit day 29: Daylight Horror

Look around you: Strex.
Look inside you: Strex.
Go to sleep: Strex.
Believe in a smiling god.
StrexCorp. It is everything.

#octobit day 28: Found Footage

A study from the VHS from The Ring

#octobit day 27: Body Horror

A riff on my 'grindstone' human/computer hybrid sketch. Fairly happy with the result.

#octobit day 26: Zombie Apocalypse

As a graphic design graduate I couldn't resist a nod to the classic Romero poster

#octobit day 25: Slasher

I wend for the dragon summoning ritual from the first #discworld game. I don't know why but it's always been an image that really stuck with me.

#octobit day 23: Ancient Deity

Not particularly happy with this one. A representation of #ormagöden from #brütallegend.

#octobit day 22: Doppelganger

Something about the final shot of #thedescent appealed to me in the context of #doppelganger. I don't know how well it represents the prompt, and it's a little abstract. But I like it.

#octobit day 21: Evil Spirits

When searching 'evil spirits' I got a lot of biblical results, so I thought I'd go for something that muddies the water a bit and choose #baphomet. The 'evil' is definitely a matter of perspective.

#octobit day 20: Sleep Paralysis

Felt a little ambitious but I attempted Ripley from Alien asleep in her hypersleep chamber, a kind of sleep paralysis!

#octobit day 19: Necrorealism

I didn't feel like I could do justice to truly understanding the russian necrorealist movement (having only just heard of it!), so instead I went for something that had the 'vibe' of the word. It's one of the gristle guns from #scorn

#octobit day 18: Urban Fantasy

Stretching the interpretation a little today with the Death of Rats from Terry Pratchett's #discworld. The rats mostly live in the cities, which kinda make it #urbanfantasy

#octobit day 17: Gothic

A gothic #house

#octobit day 16: Decadence

A bejeweled #skull

#octobit day 15: Historical Figure

I chose Tesla. Nikola Tesla. The version from Super Science Friends.

You need to watch Super Science Friends by #TinmanCreative

#octobit day 14: Villains

Jr Koopa from #papermario64 is the best villain.

#octobit day 13: Bad Omens

The first thing that came to my mine was a #kitty!

#octobit day 12: Table-Turning

I promise the next one will be higher effort, but I couldn't get this specific kind of #tableturning out of my head! XD

#octobit day 11: Funeral Services

If you know you know.

#octobit day 10: Herecy

I got a little behind due to coldiness and working on R̴̡̤̫͑̂̅̄͛͗̊͑͒͒͊̿́̀̐̚͠Ë̵̛̻͚̤̫̹̩̜̪̞͙̘̚D̸̨̨̢͔̮̻̹͈̪̜͓̮̹͉͛̔̑͜Ą̷̤͙̻̼͖̫̖̞̘̼̩̜̻̅͊̅C̶̡̰͈̤̩̞̥̫͖͍͚͍̞̒̏͝Ţ̵̡̢͙͓̞̬̱̰̜͋͊͑̄̋͗̓͆̚͜͜͠ͅĔ̵͖̲͚͍̫͜Ḑ̶̞̠̘͗̽, so I did two today. I couldn't help but have a go at the lamb from #cultofthelamb by #devolverdigital. I just really love the art style.

#octobit day 9: True Crime

I had a go at recreating part of one of the #zodiackiller letters in pixel art. What can I say, I like #cryptography!

#octobit day 8: Witchcraft

I decided to go with a #wiccan spell jar. Actually kinda made me want to make one for the house, haha.

#octobit2022 #octobit #pixelart #spellbottle

#octobit day 7: Death Files

Another one I was stumped on at first, but then turned into an epic opportunity for #grimfandango #fanart 😆

So yeah, the Department Of Death's file on Meche Colomar.

#octobit day 6: SCP Foundation

After watching alpha beta gamers play through of the superb looking SCP Secret Files, I couldn't help but attempt a self portrait of me, an ordinary toaster. As #SCP426, I must be kept it a sealed room with no windows to curtail my effect. I make good toast. I am a good toaster. I must make toast. I MUST FIND BREAD TO TOAST!!!

#octobit day 5: Creepypasta

I was light on ideas for this one and went a bit silly. In case you couldn't tell it's a penne pasta with legs. looks a bit like a #bugsnax to me.

#octobit day 4: Child Folklore

This one had me stumped for a bit but then I remembered the #groke from the #moomins. This thing really creeped the shit out of me when I was a little kid. I got a bit behind as I came down with a seasonal cold.

#octobit day 3: Not Happily Ever After

Not a lot of thought behind this one really... A eternally crying blood, slowly drowning itself. Because why not?

#octobit day 2: Urban Legend

I was watching a video about Sirenhead recently and thought it had good aesthetic value, so here's the result. A bit happier with this one, feels like I'm getting less rusty.
