      Looks like digital art with a chroma filter on it

        No filter, but a side effect of layering a rather noisy brush with different colors :)

      Digital, using custom brushes based on charcoal on paper and a bit of additional editing for the floor.

      None (yet?), but I love the lore and felt like it could be a civilian sighting of a yet-to-be-contained Euclid-class object.

        Definitely could be. Something like “SCP-8019. Class: Eculid, pending Keter. An entity with arachnid-like features but not clearly identified as such. Witnesses claim to see 8 appendages, however they note this may not be accurate for two reasons: the arrangement of the visible appendages imply there is something supporting the other side of the entity, be it 2-4 additional appendages or a dragging body, and multiple witnesses claimed to see the same arrangement from different angles at the same time. Additional body parts have not yet been identified as it appears to be enshrouded in a shadow. Interdimensional travel cannot be ruled out. It cannot be determined if a larger entity is supporting the visible appendages from beyond. Do not approach. SCP-8019 occasionally slowly rakes the ground towards the shadow mass behind the appendages. Purpose is unknown. Various objects, such as small boxes, various fruit, and a radio transmitter, have been placed within its reach. With motions unchanged, the objects were pulled into the shadow mass. The objects were no longer visible and the transmitter’s signal was lost. Physical location cannot be determined. An agent with a quick release animal control pole was able to lasso one of the appendages. The agent noted the pull force was relatively low, however all motion of the appendages stopped when the agent resisted the pull. Vibrations were felt in the pole. The agent opened the loop and the entity’s standard raking nation resumed. SCP-8019 has not been recorded as aggressive however further testing must be performed before confirming it as Euclid.”

        Or something.

          Awesome! I love how the (possible) threat is based on what can’t be seen, rather than what is visible.

            I love the creativity of the SCP writers. I actually had no idea they had 8000 entries. I thought I had just lived through SCP-3008 as I tried to rush out of an Ikea. I swore the exit was nonexistent

    Man, I just browsed through some of your past posts, and I really enjoyed what I saw, especially your charcoal pieces. They’re rough, messy, and there’s a measured crudeness to them that I like a lot. I’m having a hard time telling whether your last two pieces are digital or not. At first I thought they were completely digital, cuz of the chromatic aberration, but now that I’m looking at it more closely, I’m thinking that they’re charcoal first and then digitally colored?

    Either way, great stuff! :)

    Edit: This [redacted] piece especially - I thought was digital because of the texture of the floor was (to me) reminiscent of that 90s-era disposable camera / found footage look, with the complete darkness of the background adding to that night-time flash photography look. I also like the unsettling composition/framing, with the top of the limbs/digits juuust not quite reaching that upper rule-of-thirds section. I think it adds to the incidental/unintentional photo look/vibe. Again, really unsettling and really fun to look at. :)

    Edit: …or maybe not digital, but pastel? The saturation of the red in “Red Hunger” looks digital to me, but you could’ve also just done it in pastel and boosted the saturation a bit as a finishing touch…

      You got pretty close! :) They are completely digital, but painted using brushes I made from photographing charcoal on paper! So I’m very happy to hear that you couldn’t quite figure out whether these pieces are fully digital or not, as that’s exactly what I was going for. The floor in [redacted] has seen some additional editing (perspective transform), which is probably what pushed it more into the digital realm.

      And thanks! Your kind words are much appreciated! :)
