"Hey do u want to support a queer disabled creator?
Love superheroes and misunderstood girlbosses?
Cosmic horror?
Read worm!"
“Man,” I say to myself, discarding another wip, “I wish I could draw body horror more gooder. If only there was a piece of media to be insane about with visceral imagery that forms a greater commentary on body image and perceptions/experiences of disability in our modern society!”
“Oh yeah?” A voice says from behind me.
I turn around.
It’s Wildbow, the body horror author.

This one was a spontaneous piece with very little planning so it took a little bit to ‘sculp’ out as you can see from the vid. Anyway ask and you shall receive @cpericardium but only sometimes, my brain works in mysterious ways.
Notes I’ve taken on arc four of Pale:
I think this was my favourite arc so far and that last chapter was my favourite chapter so far. Now that the characters and their relationships are all well established, I feel like, it can really focus on the emotions of the characters and play with their relationships. Which I absolutely love and which I think is the authors biggest strength.
So about the arc: It is cut into two pieces, with the first four chapters being set (mostly) in Kennet and focusing on the party. This part was absolutely great and I really like the dynamics the trio has with their classmates, Melissa and Jeremy in particular. (Same is also true about their new „classmates“ at the BHI.) The second half, set in the BHI, was really exciting in terms of worldbuilding and magic and almost tricked me into thinking school is useful or fun. What I liked most about this part was seeing the different attitudes of the Practitioners towards Others, others and morals in general.
I was about to say that Avery is my new favourite because of her character development with the forest ribbon trail, snowdrop and her relationship with her family, but the last chapter where the girls create echos of themselves really cemented Verona as the best. I really appreciate having a good person protagonist who has problems feeling emotions like other people.
Also I am not quite sure whether Verona wanting to become an Other is allegorical for dysphoria, suicidal thoughts or not an allegory at all. Either way she continues to be the most relatable character and I love her.
Breakthrough, from a work in progress. The faces here are about . . . 60% painted? Stay tuned for full outfits. Eventually.
Also, I have unilaterally decided that Ashley has a wolfcut now.
this is so fucking funny to me. who wants to join the ancient athenian evil dining club with me
