Oh for sure! Religious art has interested me ever since high school! I mean I was always having those oil paintings of Child and Madonna pushed to me. And I’ll say they are so cool! I was able to see a few of them in person when I would visit different art museums like the metropolitan museum of art. But one piece that just clings to me is The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hermionus Boshe. Like of how much symbolism there is, how insane the ghoulish creatures are in the piece! I used it for inspiration for a few of my collage projects I’ve done over the years and even did a master piece of the Prince of hell from the piece. The bird guy all the way on the right eating a dude. I did it in photoshop and brought it to procreate to add my watermark when I was getting ready to post it!

Below is the piece I did along with the comparison of the original one. It took about ten hours or so.

Not gonna lie over here…biblically accurate angels are BADASS! Like the ones with six wings! SICK! I remember when I was growing up (I grew up catholic and was forced through 12 years of Catholic education, im out of college now and a proud pagan that is healing from the trauma) that all angels were these pretty people in white gowns and wings. But finding out just recently that those are the low tier angels is nuts. And the higher up you go for angels the more crazy they get!

If you haven’t checked this YouTuber out definitely check out Wendigoon. He has an angel teir list that he talks about. It’s about an hour or so long so if you got a task at hand then it’s great background noise. Love to listen to him when I was in my art studio classes and drawing! I can definitely link it if you are interested!

I remember reading descriptions of the angels in the bible and being scared when I was younger, but also intrigued. When I grew up I got more fascinated with religious art and thought the angels were beautiful, I told my mother I wanted to be an angel when I grew up, and now look at me, mama! :)

I might go check out that video, seems interesting. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, my child.

The Very True and Real Story of How Chloe Started Drawing!

So as you guys might have figured out by now…I draw. Like that wasn’t clear from the start and the title of this blog. But you might be asking yourself dear reader, Chloe! How did you start drawing? Well I’m glad you asked nameless reader…allow me to spin you a tale as old as time. I’ll say this before I begin, I don’t know if I still have my high school art and if I do I’ll be sure to have pictures for this. But for now let’s get into the story! 

The Very True and Real Story of How Chloe Started Drawing!

So before I started high school, I found out that I could take an art class rather than take a P.E. class or music class. So you bet your sweet bippy I took advantage of that! I just had to submit some art to let the teacher know I am capable of holding a pencil. I don’t remember fully what the other pieces were but I do remember one piece that I had done in maybe eighth grade or seventh grade. It was the cringy anime style I’m sure we all started off with when we wanted to draw. Now I’m not saying g anime is cringe, no. But the middle school anime style is what I mean. It was a drawing of the four goth/emo kids from South Park since I had a very unhealthy obsession with that show and I tried making those kids my whole personality at the time. (if I can find that picture I’ll definitely attach it to here but it’s probably long gone)

So I was actually accepted into the art class which was pretty cool. I didn’t have to take a gym class and I was excited to draw cartoons since at the time I wanted to be a cartoonist. That was until I found out that the teacher was very against cartooning as a form of art media. Or anything stylistic for that case. I was 14 at the time so I’m sure I was unable to make David on a sheet of paper…with out it having some sort of anime eye sparkle added to it. And my teacher was definitely not having it with how I even attempted to practice my shading. Saying how it wasn’t rendered correctly or saying it looked too flat. This was for all four years, where I felt like I was struggling with art just to paint a dumb Christmas ornament to be almost hyper realistic in acrylic paint that was clearly expired from how chunky and foul it smelt. But what did I know? I was only 17 at that time of that project and just a dumb student. 

Then it became time to start looking for colleges to attend. I wanted to do art for my education and I was sending in my portfolio into multiple colleges across the country. Even going as far as to do an online review for a college in LA. Well, I was getting antsy with how long of a time these colleges were taking to respond back to me. So I went to my art teacher for some recommendations and writing me as a reference for a college I had my heart really set on. But oh dear nameless reader…you would think she would go easy on me when I had maybe three months left till graduation. Oh. No. She told me and I fucking quote: Chloe, you are not at the same academic level for a strictly art college. I can write you a recommendation but I don’t think you will be accepted into your dream college. 

Uh spoiler, I was accepted and it was the best five years of my life. I made some of the bestest friends in that community and I was able to really find myself for who I really am in that college. But just remembering how blunt my high school art teacher was…it was just so very wild and kinda killed me a little on the inside. So jumpcut to me now typing this up as I am looking at my art now, I am definitely impressed with how much I had improved over these last nine years…I mean my high school art teacher is probably rolling and wondering how I managed to make it through art college….

Oh…oh trust me. Freshman year of college nearly killed me since I was still drawing in a cartoon style.  And with how Vivzipop came out with her pilot animation of Hazbin Hotel, I immediately tried to adopt a style similar to that. Only to find out in one of my drawing foundation called how that was an incorrect way of drawing. Forcing myself to draw semi realistic. I can still draw in that style. I have many pieces of art that I do that I’ll have that as how I’ll draw cartooned versions of characters, especially for the ghouls since I love the big exaggerated expressions that the style has to offer…but it took so much time and effort to get me to draw a piece like Circe. 

The three and soon to be four panels have taken months to complete. I’m still on the bonus panel to even get some of the rendering done for the background. But it’s a shocker to find out how I went from a cringy South Park drawing to now this art…

So I just realized that I never shared my senior art thesis that I had completed! I love tarot cards and studying g Egyptian mythology so I decided to illustrate some of my favorite deities with the major arcana tarot cards!

Kehpri for Chariot

Ra for Emperor,

Anubis for Death

Sutkeh/Set for The Devil

Neith for Temperance

Thoth for Magician

Isis and Osiris for The Lovers

Sekhmet for Strength

Ma’at for Justice

Phantom: Babe…I have a question…

Dew: *deep inhale* no I am not mad at you…yes you are loved…no I am not leaving you…yes we can cuddle tonight

Phantom: thank you but I have one more question…

Dew: yes I will still love you if you are a worm

Phantom:…I was going to ask if we could get a chinchilla for a pet…

Dew:

Dew:

Dew: *deep inhale* …yes

If you have a brush pack that you enjoy, let me know! I love to experiment with different brush packs and I’m always loving to look for your favorite brushes or brush sets on procreate! Any recommendations you can send into my inbox and I’ll test them out and tag you with it! KEEP IN MIND I USE PROCREATE!

[batb1mb0]

So @xruiiii-blog has put out their brushes they use for their fanart of their ghouls from the band Ghost and I am a huge fan of their work! If you haven’t give them a follow and I love their brush set! Below is a quick digital painting I did of a nautilus with only using their brushes EXCLUSIVELY!

PSA!!!! PLEASE READ!

So after a week or so ago, I found out that there was a MINOR in our discord sever. Now normally I would be a bit more lenient and have older teens on my blog. Butt this minor was LYING that they were 18 when in fact they were not. So i am taking my hand in this and blocking you if I suspect a minor is on my page. PLEASE HAVE YOUR AGE IN YOUR BIO PLEASE! I do want to have people see my art but I have been posting some rather 18+ art. So I will be purging my account's followers soon.

[batb1mb0]

Hey so I am finally back to my bullshit! After a long dry spell of going through some depression, soulless job hunting, being ghosted on so many jobs and now being called into an interview finally. I decided to treat myself for some art and post some progress since you all have been so well behaved on my end! MDNI under the cut!

[batb1mb0]

To tide yall over, I drew what Clover would look like glamoured/disguised!

[batb1mb0]

Okay, I am trying very hard with this. This drawing is NSFW. It will be properly tagged as NSFW and 18+. Do not click if you do not like 18+ or want to see it. It is censored with plushia. Drawing is below the cut.

[batb1mb0]

Alright so whoopsie after putting the correct tags on my sketch and all…it’s finally going to Twitter. So I’ll be linking it here when I post it finished. I’m kinda bummed since my art does so well on here and it just flops on twitter. But if you could, could yall give me a big ol follow for Twitter?

[batb1mb0]

Whoopsie…so my last post has been flagged…is there any sort of way that I can mark the whole thing NSFW like blur it. Kind of like what Twitter has to offer when submitting adult content?

[batb1mb0]

So everything is settled with my iPad. Turns out since I’m gonna be using this for art and a possible freelancing job…I would need it to work the way I want it to work. I had a Genius Bar visit today and I just traded in my old one that she was currently shot from my senior year to get a newer model. And that has fixed everything. I am finally back to post my art and I can’t fucking wait to do that! Don’t worry! Yall are still getting your little treat for enjoying the short Cirice comic I did.

Speaking of! I would love to hear some other fan favorites for me to do a short comic based off of! I had such a fun time with Cirice!

Just a tired ghoul for you. Who messed her make up? Who knows 🤭😏

[batb1mb0]

Hey this is going out to whoever said it was racist of me to call Swiss ‘feral’. I am saying this honestly that I did not know he was darker skinned than everyone else. I separate the ghoul’s on stage personality from the actual person behind the mask. Just last night one of my friends told me on why it could have come off racist and I do deeply apologize on if it ever came off that way. I am only going off on how the performer portrays Swiss on stage during rituals. To who helped me understand this, thank you.

[batb1mb0]

hey, just thought that you should know that it is racist to call swiss “feral”

Hey, uhhh I’m a little confused on this. I’m putting it down as if the ghouls were like separate from the on stage persons. Like I’m just referring to their personalities as a person…if that makes sense…

[batb1mb0]

Based on a conversation I had with my friends

Dew: *walks into the kitchen at 3am* Bug…what are you doing…it’s 3am…

Phantom: I’m having salad cereal

Dew: …what

Phantom: *loud crunching of croutons* salad cereal!

Dew: I am curious and afraid at the same time…

Phantom: croutons, cheese and salad dressing…I didn’t want any lettuce since I mainly just eat the toppings. So I came up with salad cereal! *one more loud crunching of croutons*

Dew:…I’m going back to bed
