Featured Creature: Cow Demon Robot

I've been drawing alot of humans in the Featured Creature lately and this week I wanted to get more creature back into the posts.  This image however, turned out more comedic than scary.  I figure though that somebody somewhere must be afraid of cow demon robots even if they're smiling...or maybe because they are smiling.

From the Archives: Rock Rage

Here is an older unfinished sketch portrait of an angry stone faced creature.  With this piece I was specifically trying to give the face the texture of a lava flow that has begun to cool and turn to stone.  I can't remember if my intent for this piece was a rock like race of people or a single creature.

Featured Creature: The Ghost

"The spirit of malevolence that had attached itself to the structure suffused everything with a suffocating aura of hopelessness, suffering, and despair."

Saturday Sketch: Golden Age Doctor Fate with Orb

Here is a second sketch and the final piece of my Golden Age Doctor Fate set.  There are several characters from the early stories that I haven't addressed.  I may add them to the set later, but for the time being this is the last.

Exhumed: Rotting Appleteeth

Rotting Appleteeth is a goblin of indulgence and decay.  Rotting is quick, selfish, and most certainly dangerous.  Legend has it that he used to have a mouth full of bright white teeth, but they decayed and fell out because of his lust for eating sweets and drinking Nog all night.  His empty heart is jealous and craves all things, especially the teeth of others.  When he sees a beautiful set of polished ivories, out comes his dagger!

Surprisingly, his breath is rather sweet, but that is only a lure to get a victim close enough to cut out a few molars.  Although he will not pass up any tooth, he is known to prefer the teeth of children.  His nighttime attacks are responsible for the innate fear of dentists that many children possess.  He is a mortal enemy of the tooth fairy and the two have warred repeatedly over a single stolen tooth.

Featured Creature: Moonlit Were

I'm going to take a break from the Devil's Square focus for a bit and pursue some straight up creature sketches.  This week we have a more painterly were-creature.  I've been so controlled with my compositions lately, I wanted to try something a little more organic and expressive.  I also haven't been getting nearly enough practice painting in Photoshop, so I've added that to my to do list.  Expect more in this style.
 
This piece also has an element of whimsy in it that surprised me once I'd finished it.  The overwhelming darkness of the world lately has been a bit much for me so I don't mind a bit of whimsy here.

Saturday Sketch: Golden Age Ian Karkull

One of Doctor Fate's earlier villains, Ian Karkull plagues Doctor Fate and the Golden Age Green Lantern well into the modern age of comics.  During their first encounter, it is Doctor Fate that causes Karkull to become trapped in his shadow form.

From the Archives: Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Here are some delicious golden brains at the end of the rainbow.  This was the header for the month of March 2014, celebrating Saint Patty's in the Zombie Bites style!

Featured Creature is Two Years Old!

Today marks the second year of Zombie Bites Featured Creature!  Here's a bit of creepiness to celebrate the day!  I had a bit more planned for celebration, but my recent computer woes threw a gigantic wrench into the works.  We'll see what the rest of the month holds.
