Recently I researched the Five Nights at Freddy's series a bit, namely developments since I last checked on it, and I discovered that the lore and supernatural elements, which I used to regard with disdain, are actually somewhat interesting. I like the concept of William Afton's search for immortality and means of cheating death via some strange combo of robotics and the supernatural. I like playing around with that idea in my head, so I assembled a composite of robotic and death/corpse imagery to create some kind of cyborg lich. And threw in some subtle Western flair, because I like it.


I've been wanting to make some more photo-edit abominations for a while, and now, with the help of Pixabay's royalty free stock images, I can! So I did! It definitely came out a lot better than the last two. I'm definitely looking forward to making the most of this resource in future artworks.

And yes, the chest tattoo is my signature! I thought that was a fun way to incorporate it. :)

Bro this is sick.

Thetageist responds:

Thank you so much! I love doing stuff like this!

Honestly looking through your gallery, what impresses me the most is how much variety you have in mediums and styles, and how all of it is decent, at worst.

On FNAF lore: it can be interesting, but I definitely feel like it's suffering from the effects of piling too much on top of too... shall we say... humble a foundation.

Thetageist responds:

Thank you so much! It took me quite a while to get to where I am now artistically, and I love to mess around with different techniques to produce different looks.

Yeah, I agree that the lore is built in a way that suggests Scott was kinda flying by the seat of his pants. Frankly I don’t care much for the canon lore itself beyond a “hehe fun fandom” way, I just like exploring the concepts that are suggested there but not touched on as much as they should be.
