This Isn't Normal (Original)

Media: Traditional drawing using graphite pencil on paper.

Style: Surrealist fantasy with biomechanical and organic fusion. The monochromatic shading, detailed textures, and intricate linework emphasize a dreamlike but slightly unsettling tone.

Emerging from a jagged, bark-like environment is a creature with an eerily symmetrical, insectoid face. Its massive compound eyes dominate its expression, while its segmented, armor-like proboscis adds a mechanical edge. The neck is elongated and wormlike, leading into a robust body adorned with feathered textures and leaf-like appendages. Despite its alien form, there's something hauntingly sentient about its stare—like it knows more than it lets on.

The background resembles a deep, wooded chasm or a hollowed-out tree interior, further enhancing the feeling that this being exists in a hidden or forgotten realm. Floating hexagonal stones on the ground contribute to the surrealism, adding mystery to the space and its laws of nature.
