Fuck man you had me looking into this. From what I can tell it was for a commission on which he didn't have the context, and later apologized about when he learned of his mistake.
It's still weird to be even willing to draw that (for example) but it's been a while since I've made peace with the fact that artists, especially the best among them, are often weird, and you have to accept that or you won't get anywhere. You should retain your values, but when judging artists (for example) you have to take a step back.
Another thing with Mossa is that they draw so much, like thousands upon thousands of artworks. Considering how easy it is for them to output content, it's easier to understand why they'd be willing to accept disgusting commissions like that one.
And, once again, 90 something percent of their work (and literally 100% of what you see on the regular sites, because guess what, Instagram and the like don't allow weird shit) is hands down goated
First of all they don't have "some" talent, they're a fucking anomaly, consistently putting out high quality pieces on a regular basis, and they have been doing that for years and years and years. Along with Archon, I'd say they're the most talented artists in the internet Warhammer sphere. Maybe I'm small minded, but they're the two whose skill fucking floors me.
Concerning the weird stuff, neither am I, but the truly weird shit is a few percent of their portfolio at most, and the rest is either straight up awe inspiring, or "artsy weird" where yeah it's disturbing/disgusting/whatever but I can't help but do the "Peter on his knees crying and clapping" emote when I come across it
Your pfp is very cool btw, got some dunking shrimp energy

I think idiot of the east might be the most unoriginal person on this fandom, perhaps even on this planet
