“Shadow People”

I wanted to try something different here. Following my onryō-inspired theme—I decided to get bold and try to create a ceiling creature. Did it work? Ehhh…

Either way, I’m posting it, and it does look like it’s rising from a shadow. I slightly altered my arms to create and more spindly-look, and I think it look quite horrifying.

What do you all think?

I Need Character Suggestions

Okay, so, I’m shooting this promo video for an upcoming film.

Backstory:

She’s basically a cave-dwelling humanoid that has lost complete and total concept of reality. She is insane, beastly, homicidal and kills on command.

Now, as far as the look, Dennis (the director) and I have decided that long, gross, mangy hair is the way to go. As far as the look—I’m leaning towards black scleras, pale face…not white, though, intense veins, minimal blood excluding the oral...

Untitled Film (TBA)

As you’ve probably guessed in the drawing—Jim gets killed again. I think?

I’ll be working with Dennis Cahlo who is a remarkably talented filmmaker based out of New York. The film will center around a series of cave killings in the upstate New York area. Admittedly, this was my first time hearing about these stories, and I’m freaking excited to start filming. I will be none other than a cave creature who is indeed, killing innocent bystanders, eating them, and wearing their skin...

Yorc-sama (Back to the Onryō)

I’m not gonna lie—this is my heart and soul. Doing Japanese tributes to my favorite ghouls is what gets my blood pumping. If you notice, I’m bending on that right knee. It’s sore as shit, but I anticipate it’s going to be sore for awhile. I’m still two months post-op—I have to remember that.

If you’re new here, then you must know that J-Horror is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I am completely and utterly in love with Japanese yokai and the history of juons. Yo...

Blood Bath

Blood is the life. Blood has the power to heal, change, corrupt, and bond.

I will never not bathe, drink, and eat the most powerful thing inside me. There is something so inexplicably beautiful about it. From the rusted browns and the crimson reds, it is beautiful in nature. My perception of my own femininity is not predicated on being the “better” sex. My male counterparts are my equals, of course, and I would never denounce them. (Contrary to radical feminism).

Bloodletting

I have a lot to be thankful for as of now. I’m thankful so much to be able to walk, to kneel, to stand, and to be here still speaking to you all. I’m thankful for life so much.

If you’re new here, then you’ll understand I’m a huge advocate of bloodletting and blood consumption (in healthy doses). When I was in my accident, I felt like it was on purpose. Not so much divine intervention, though you could certainly construe it that way, but a test. I asked Paimon for guidance th...

“ Mother of Lost Things” (Color-Graded Teaser)

I’m not going to lie, this is turning out phenomenal. I had my reservations when the makeup was finished, simply because I didn’t get the time I needed. Hey, that’s life, and I learned my lesson: START MAKEUP IMMEDIATELY.

The warmer aesthetics mixed with the dark is fucking FLAWLESS. You all are the only ones who know what my character is supposed to look like. She’s just supposed to be seen—so I’m happy I get to share the little sneak peeks here! What I’m very impressed ...

Naamah Pre-Edits

As the name explains, I based these on my interpretation of Naamah, who is a succubus in the Talmud. I haven’t done many horned cosplays in awhile and since I just bought gray paint—I knew it was time. I can say with all honesty this is one of my favorites. The gray against the red contacts and subtlety of the burns/bruises is remarkably beautiful.

I’ve also been trying to practice my brow blocking which I’m not that good at.

Mother of Lost Things BTS Pt. 2

Shoot day is upon us and I’m brimming with excitement. We drive about 14 miles north to a place in the Georgia woods. The residents of the land are friends with Paul, and their backyard is basically where we are filming. It’s wooded, rustic, quiet, and extremely gorgeous. There is something so tranquil about the woods.

Makeup, producer, techs, assistants and cast show up. I survey the land and it’s a steep, steep incline down and up. Our tent and base are at the very bottom where...

Mother of Lost Things BTS Part 1

Y’all, we had the best time. This was probably the first time I went into a job and didn’t feel any nerves at all, and for good reason!


We flew into ATL. I had no idea how large that airport was—even though I’ve been there—but I genuinely forgot. This was the first time I walked more than a mile, and I was a little bit weary of my leg giving out, but surprisingly, she held. It took us about an hour and a half from Atlanta to head to our destination. The film locati...

“Puppy” BTS

These are some unedited shots of this bizarre, bizarre set. It’s just weird. Truthfully, I don’t anticipate my work being at all really respected outside niche, but it’s okay. The older I’m getting, the more I have come to embrace the bizarre world of psychological horror and the macabre. I’m less about creature features and more about inflicting emotions that are unknown to my viewers.

And in all honesty, I like it that way. I like being weird. I like being odd. I like peopl...

VIRGINIA BITCHES UPDATE!

Holy fuck! More info just dropped for the film. The projected filming date starts in March/April, and…I’m playing a 2,000 pound disgusting, revolting, full on fucking GROSS creature named “Queenie”.

Wayne Anderson is going to be creating the suit for me. I’ll be hooked up to a shitload of blood tubes With long, gross fingers; almost like a Facehugger’s fingers.

Scott is going to send me the concept art coming up, but here are some general ideas. I asked Scott if we c...

“Back Alley Fuck” BTS

I went in a completely different direction with these. Not sure if y’all reminder the Restricted Panther from back in the day, but I thought, “Hell, let’s do it.”

I think this is the first time I’ve actually shown my eyes in a look, but I want this to be a progression into insanity. Frankly, there is no rhyme or reason for this, other than the fact that I want to illustrate revulsion in human suffering. We can put this under psychological horror as opposed to atypical horror....

So, no promises, but I might be getting a podcast together. I’m not going to officially announce this until I know for sure it’s something that’ll succeed.

I’ve been talking a lot of with Pete from Massacre (Yes, the death metal band), and he’s sort of convinced me to put my big ass mouth out there. Y’all know I have a lot to say about censorship, Gatekeeping and all that bullshit. So, I wrote down ten topics and ten people I’d like to join me.

Tricky, Tricky!

Aight, so here is how I achieved the blood shot eyes. Normally, I’d accidentally get my menstrual blood in my eyes. (Sorry 😅) Lemme tell you—it hurts. In fact, anything NOT made for your eyes really hurts. I’m always on the hunt for new products to try out and test. Mainly because I’m curious and would rather sacrifice my skin before y’all do.

So, this was something that I found. I will tell you and you better fucking listen:

Alright, I’ll spill the beans: 

The eyeblood was from Kroylan. Which, if you haven’t given these peeps some business, do it. It’s 100% safe for the eyes. Now, since I’m utterly insane, I’m going to attempt this with a contact in. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED SO PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

Id rather do it and y’all be safe! Seriously!

“Are You Going to Kill Me?” BTS

Ughhhhhhhhh. I’m fucking stuck again.

I REALLY like the dark on these, but do you think lighter would look better? This was a bit of a challenge for me because it was the first time I stood my camera up and set the timer. Now, if you’re newer here—my car accident caused me to have knee surgery. Anyway, that’s why most of my pieces have been composed in my bathroom.

So, this was my first time standing and really trying to get into character.

“Oh Well” Tutorial

This one was just the most random thing ever. Would I go back and change some things? Yes. I didn’t like that the scar wax on my left eye ended up randomly hanging, but hey Che sera sera.

This was done all with scar wax and Mehron water-based paint. The nose appendage was just a random thought and somehow ended to working out. I guess in a way, in its random entirety, it wound up being a very bizarre success. Scar wax has a hard time sticking to the orbital regions. Frankly, unle...

Very strange, the human body. What a remarkable construct that can fail or succeed. I’ve had many uteran linings that seemed askew, but this is quite a fascinating discovery. 

I feel as if the rot has left my body, and the brand new year can come through. ♥️
