Here we have a creepy super science sub basement where something horrible escaped. This was a development sketch for a comic book story I was working on at the time. It kind of went to the back burners, but it may come back eventually. Like zombies, stories rarely stay dead forever. :-)
The following is an excerpt from a Burkens County police report of an eyewitness account of the accident that occurred at Highway 14 on December 3rd, 2012:
This is me playing with purple sharpies again. A quick portrait here exploring some P. Craig Russell style line work. I think I'd just gotten some new sharpies and was breaking them in. Not as much time to noodle things the way I used to. I used to get lost in the lines for hours.
These iridescent scarabs showed up in a couple of dreams I had long ago. They were about 3.5 inches long and about as thick as the width of a teaspoon. The reproduction I've done here is close but I feel like it needs to be redrawn on black paper or some such. I created the second image in Photoshop to get a little closer to their actual appearance and color from the dreams. They seemed to have a black base color with a opalescent metallic sheen to them.
Following is one of the 911 call records from the Santee 57 Incident that occurred the evening of May 1st, 2012 at 9:12PM EST:
"Androgynous but with a high level of brute strength, the Phalman is a savage and dangerous entity. No one knows exactly where it came from or if its species is other than human. Some speculate that it is a demon in the form of a man, others say that is like a werewolf but in a perpetual state of madness and savagery." 
Here we have the greyscale of an earlier drawing of Barbara from the original Night of the Living Dead, after we see her dragged into an undead horde. With there being no living flesh left at the old farm house, she is wandering off into the night to find something fresh.
Here's something I recently drew at the library in between other things. I hadn't done any fresh sharpie work in a bit and decided to play to loosen up and pass the time. I've been so focused lately on more realistic lighting for the Featured Creatures that on this one I just wanted to cut loose and go more emotive.
"Slowly, I moved into the room. The smell of mildew and rot was overwhelming. I covered my mouth and nose with my shirt sleeve, trying not to gag. The floor was a sea of trash: half eaten pizza crusts, emptied soup
cans, a bicycle tire, myriad candy bar wrappers, a soiled shirt, empty soda cans and bottles, a child's stuffed animal, wadded paper and boxes, and several filthy overturned buckets. As I crossed into the
room, large dark shapes skittered out of my path, disappearing into the
canyons of trash.
Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium: 
"This hooded figure has been observed on multiple occasions interacting with the Devil's Square team. We are unsure of its exact association with that group, but the creature is obviously other dimensional in origin. However, it does not match records of any known species currently operating within the earth sphere. 
Here is a portrait of Scratch from the Devil's Square. I was in between things at the library and felt like a bit of color sketching for a change. It was a fun challenge also as I didn't have my entire pen collection with me so my color palette was limited. I had to create some of the colors by mixing others: one of my favorite pastimes.
