what is formyths doing

happy new year! playing catch up for the rest of 2022 though not a lot to fill in :')

art ✎

an illustration: clouds rise behind ruined buildings, and vines & tendrils tangle with fallen utility poles. a scarred figure with claws & bird-like feet perches in a window in the foreground, long black hair falling in the shape of wings

desolation - my piece for @andythelemon's demon artbook! you can still get digital copies here.


2 panels of an illustration: the top shows tall rock forms emerging from a water, 3 suns in a pink sky. the bottom shows a strange radio-like device with a cutaway to plants, a ghost, and organ-like components inside. "hand eye society" runs along the top and a plaque reads "mixtape vol 3"

cover for the hand eye society mixtape vol. 3, an anthology of indie games.


an illustrated film poster for Sonatine, written & directed by Kitano Takeshi: a man in a white button up, a gun in one hand, stands knee-deep in the sea, facing towards towering clouds in muted greens & blues. an orange frisbee hangs above, and a border of paper wrestlers stand beneath

finally getting back to my poster project months later with one for sonatine (1993, dir. takeshi kitano)


"dreams of leaving everything behind" under a sketch: a view of a shoreline through a scope, an empty train table, and a ghostly figure under a trapdoor "dreams of being reunited" under a sketch: lighting strikes a person's head, and a figure floats in an archway in an empty landscape

2 drawings on a journal spread: "dreams of time in your hands" under a drawing of a hand balancing an incense stick, and an array of mirrors; and "dreams of the fatal blow" under a distant view of figures descending a steep staircase, and a falling star 2 drawings: "dreams of your last meal" under a ghost over land like islands in fog; "dreams of the furthest paths" over a sun with a halo rising over distant hills

i forgot to make fancy edits for november and can't be bothered for december but finished a whole year of the dream drawings! you can see them all on patreon (i've also redone it so it's pay what you want now, and you get access to all posts at 1 USD), and i'll be putting together a pdf with all the drawings hopefully soon. also planning to do a more curated print version at some point.


other stuff ✷

forget-anim-itch.gif

my hillside timelapse ghost story comic "everything you will forget" is available again on my itch.io storefront - there's also some free copies.


a lineart comic panel: a person sits down in a chair in front of an array of strange equipment, tanks of fungi-like shapes just visible in the wall to their left a greyscale drawing in soft textures of a tiger descending a mountainside, clouds rising behind and plant-like shapes growing in the foreground

some inks from my current project! not drawing a lot else for many reasons but one of them is this. maybe (?) will have some more to share soon (?)


wishing you all the best in 2023,
