http://guydavisart.tumblr.com/http://deadwooddross.tumblr.com/http://dimetrodrawn.tumblr.com/http://empartridge.tumblr.com/are all good artists for body horror… I would also look up some of the monsters in things like guillermo del toro’s movies and more recent cartoons like steven universe/ adventure time/ over the garden wall
a lot of 80s horror has a lot of good body horror, see movies like The Thing, The Gate, The Company of Wolves, etc.
I would also look at horror movies for a younger audience as they tend to rely more on surrealism and body horror due to not being able to show a lot of blood
(limbs that are just way too long are /great/ by the way)video games imo tend to have pretty good creature design compared to movies, especially ones with simpler graphics. I really like the amalgamates in undertale, for instance:
(the endogeny is a really good example of ‘less is more’… a lot of times, a lack of features, like no eyes or a face that’s just a hole is much more unnerving than adding way too many eyes and spikes)
The designs also take advantage of a minimalistic art style to let the viewer make up some of the body horror… it’s hard to make sense of where everything begins and ends here, and given the character is a melting mutation, the negative space + vagueness is really effective
OFF also has some really nice monster designs… it also takes advantage of a lack of features (most creatures have no or blank eyes) as well as giving a lot of the creatures too many teeth, which always looks scary and wrong imo. Especially if they’re drawn crowded instead of spaced outlower poly monsters are also weird and nasty, possibly because their lack of more than like three angles makes them look super uncanny. there’s just something about flat surfaces + textures…:
human features on non human things are really cool:
people hands on something that’s just terrible and monstrous is just so gross and fun. hands are the worst. teeth are good too. with the second picture here, asymmetry is also adds a lot to the design; it’s very clearly not a natural creaturealso look at real world animals if you can! a lot of fish are weird, things like pink river dolphins and naked mole rats are pretty freaky looking.. leopard seals and their mouths… cordyceps on insects…but yeah, I think the best things you can do with body horror personally is exaggerate features (really jutting necks are super weird, for instance) and pick traits you think look horrific (a lot of people don’t like clusters of holes in the skin, teeth where they shouldn’t be, etc.)
so no one really asked for it and it doesnt have particularly anything to do with demitale but i made a little sketche tutorial on how i draw clothing as well as arm muscles u-u hope this is helpful to you guys as well!

If you don't mind me asking, how do you draw faces and heads in general?
HELLO YES IM SO SORRY I TOOK FOREVER. I’VE SORTA COVERED A LITTLE BIT OF THIS, SO I’LL LINK MY OTHER “TUTORIALS” AT THE END. HERE WE GO
Okay so I hope that helped!!! Obviously these vary based on the design, race, and age of your character, but it’s all rooted in the same basic,,, tHiNg.
Here’s the nose and eye tutorial (just skip the hands 😬):

i present to you, TORSOs. heads an legs got lost in the mail sorry
our kid is asking me for help to learn how to draw eyes. i started putting a 'short tutorial' together for him and its now nine pages long and im not even done everything i wanted to say yet.
ive never really made a tutorial before, do you guys have anything more you think i could show him how to do? im planning on getting into eyebrows, eye expressions, and maybe the proportions of the eye in the human face...?
NOTE: one type of fold will rarely appear on its own - they interact with each other quite a bit! for example, spiral folds might define the outline of a pant leg, while the interior folds might be zig-zag folds.
i’m trying to re-learn how to draw clothing, so i made this little guide to the most common shapes of folds that appear. hope it helps someone else too!
My first anatomy tutorial! How I connect arms to the torso. Simplified the muscles for better comprehension
PS. Pectoral is misspelled as “pectorial” in the picture! Don’t make that mistake haha
Hi there I am a person trying to learn art but I was wondering if you could make a endo sketch of a person please and could you make a mans body bc I am not very good at it it would be really help full plus it doesn’t have to be the best work you’ve ever made just a nice endo sketch please
okay hahhahah
actually, those are the only things I remember while drawing and I am so used to them that I'm not even sure if I use them at all XD
But yea! Here you go! If you want me to draw a female body, I can do that too uwu
The way you draw hair is so GORGEOUS!! It is okay to ask how you do it??
omg thank you :'D !! and ofc! here's how i like do it
whenever i draw hair i like to think about volume first and shape design second. usually when i make a sketch this is how i go about doing it:
^ i basically lay down quick shapes of what i want before going in with cleaner lines
first i choose a direction that the hair is supposed to swoop towards, then draw overlapping and twisting chunks/strands of hair (with varied size, thickness etc to make it look less stiff)
this applies to other types of hair as well :)
i guess to put it more plainly - i like to layer hair a little bit to make it look more visually interesting... but i do tend to go overboard sometimes, so i erase or start over a lot ^__^"
here's a recording i managed to take while sketching, hopefully it clears up what i've written so far LMAO
Yooo how do u draw teeth? Like ur art has me dying like it's amazing! I understand looking at reference helps but it's still hard to get the concept...if u can explain that would help, thanks if so!
ok!! i’m not the best at explaining but here’s what i generally think about when i draw teeth. aside from understanding ppl’s teeth are arranged in a curve (think two letter “U”s on top of each other) i also try to remember how many teeth there usually are in a human mouth. from there i tend to stylize pretty heavily while still keeping those two in mind. i hope that helps o/
