Have you read/seen The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories ? It feels very that.

Thank you so much!! I don't really have much of an inspiration this is just my style. I tend to draw like this when I get anxious so I worked on turning that into my art style. I'm actually a small artist and all my work looks similar to this although this one was a bit experimental for me.

Hope that wasn't oversharing 😅

I dunno, looks kinda cute to me. Or maybe how I feel on bad ADHD days.

Looks good. I like it. I would bring the body in black all the way down but wouldn't add anything. Maybe taper the body out.

Very Nightmare before Christmas vibes.

You should check out Tim Burtons art work. He incorporates it in all.his films.

Like the statue in Beetlejuice

Really cool, I sometimes like do something similar and see what arises. Kinda inspires me to try playing around with this method a bit more.

Wow! That's horrifying -- it's looks like the figure is popping off the page in 3-D. Well done!

You probably will. It’s amazing and beautiful with characters that are still extremely popular even though the movie came out in the 90s. Occasionally you can find it playing in theaters. Usually around Halloween. You’d probably love Corpse Bride too.

I also think you’d love Edward Gorey if you don’t already. He wrote some amazing macabre children’s books illustrated with his pen and ink drawings.

I believe the Johnny and Squee comics are both available in a trade paper back. It's been awhile since I've read them but if you're a fan of Zim you'll enjoy them both. Just a warning the Johnny comics get pretty dark and unsettling. Squee is still pretty dark but leans more into the humor.

I've seen corpse bride!! It's so...I think it's best to describe it by saying what someone else on here said and call it hauntingly beautiful.

I'll definitely check out Edward Gorey, thanks for the suggestion!
