I was excited to dig into this piece with color. Originally I had imagined the energy surrounding the mask as a warm set of colors. However, as soon as I began working with color I knew that it had to be cool blues. I added the muted background because I wanted to develop the space within the piece more without detracting from the focus on the foreground entity. Looking at this now, I think this may be in the same reality, the same underworld as an earlier piece.

New Gallery: Writing
As part of the face lift I've been giving Zombie Bites lately, I've begun to collate all the links to the flash fiction, short stories, serials, and poetry I've been posting into a single gallery. Currently the Writing gallery holds only a small selection of my flash fiction links, but I'll be expanding and posting to this gallery very regularly. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for reading and viewing!

Featured Creature: The Room Under the Bridge

He had to press hard to get the key to turn at all. It felt as though it were going to break off in the lock, but the inertia within the lock slowly relented and the key turned. Once the lock released he tugged at the door and it opened with an audible gust. The air within was stagnant and musty.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Etrigan

I've always been fond of DC Comics Demon, Etrigan. I was first introduced to him in Matt Wagner's limited series in the early 80's. It wasn't until much later that I read some of the Kirby stories. It is always a dark treat whenever Etrigan shows up. He's nothing but trouble.

Exhumed: DC Comics Manhunter
I'm angling more and more of work towards comic book themes and imagery with the Saturday Sketch and other future posts. Although this piece does not specifically have a horror theme or imagery, I wanted to share it for the coloring aspect. I promise next time we will return to our previously scheduled horror. :-)

Featured Creature Delay
Apologies for the delay on this weeks Featured Creature. Holiday scheduling has kind of caught up with me like a snowball rolling downhill...at me. :-O I tried really hard to get it all finished, but I've just run out of juice. I promise it will be worth the wait though. I'm really excited about this upcoming image. It's very creepy. Happy New Year and I'll see you next week!
