Body Horror

I stopped drawing for a while, it became more of a chore than a fun past time.

Coming back with a different mindset and allowing myself to draw the things that I enjoy and doing it when I feel like drawing has definitely brought some life back into my art.

I enjoy posting so that I can share my creations and connect with likeminded people and I should not let a gap in my art discourage me from sharing.

I feel like sharing my thoughts with you guys might make some of you feel like you’re not alone. 😊

I know we all talk about “art block” and it definitely affects everyone so differently, but I just want to remind you that it’s okay to step away sometimes. Maybe just to get back to your art a little bit more refreshed, or maybe at least with a slightly different mindset.

Here’s a drawing I really enjoyed making. 😊 I hope some of you can find some inspiration from it.

A stack of books, including "LEECH" by Hiron Ennes, under the title "PARASITIC HORROR it seeps in," illustrating the theme of internal invasion in horror literature.
A gloved hand holds the book "LEECH" by Hiron Ennes, featuring a bottle with roots on its cover. The text describes a replacement doctor in a frozen estate where bodies are no longer human territory.
A gloved hand holds "PARASITE" by Darcy Coates, featuring a dark, spherical cover. The accompanying text describes an unseen parasite on space stations copying identity, highlighting themes of replacement and loss of autonomy.
🧪SCI-FI + PARASITIC HORROR TROPES
🔬Sci-fi horror and parasitic horror overlap, but they don’t feel the same to me. 🔬SCI-FI HORROR is usually about the unknown — aliens, experiments, or something we don’t fully understand yet. 🔬The fear comes from not knowing what it is or how it works. 👾PARASITIC HORROR takes it further.

Carmen Maria Machado is SUCH a great writer, and this short story collection did not let me down. The first story - The Husband Stitch - was my favorite by far. It was a twist on The Green Ribbon and (like many of the following stories) weaves in folklore and urban legends. It addresses the read
