Mystery on Maryland Avenue
Maureen pulled her car onto Baker, the street leading to her neighborhood. A thin fog had settled in amongst the trees and had given everything a faint glowing aura. She slowed to enjoy the view. Despite its inherent danger to drivers, Maureen had always enjoyed the magic of fog. Fog could make any landscape mysterious and otherworldly, even the plain streets of Rivercross.
She reached over into the passenger seat and flipped open the styrofoam take out box from the Star diner. She extracted a single french fry and shoved it into her mouth. She hadn't had anything to eat since she'd begun her shift at four. She ate several more fries before closing the box. Once she got home, she and her husband Daryl would have a late dinner. He always waited so that he could eat with her. Although he usually had four or five beers before she got home.
Daryl had tried cooking dinner once long ago and had nearly burnt the house down. Maureen had forbidden him in the kitchen since. Her compromise was to bring dinner back after her part time shift at the Star. She worked mornings at Norris grocery and a few hours in the evening at the Star. After two shifts, Maureen just didn't have the energy to cook as well.
This was an older digital piece that never really reached a satisfactory level of completion. The piece began as an imagining of DC Comics' Spectre, but quickly departed from that idea once I got into the piece.

Wrapping up my November werewolves is the serial killer mercenary, Nicholai Apocaloff from from Malibu Comics' Nightman.
The light and warmth of summer has passed. Chill winds blow outside. The world is caked in ice, but a fire still burns within. Though the dark half of the year is full upon us, there comes a day for rekindling the fire. Each year on November 23rd I celebrate the re-ignition of failing light with a new piece of art dedicated to one of my favorite comic books series, The Invisibles.
This piece was painted in Photoshop. The image was later expanded to become a tshirt design at my Neatoshop.
Continuing with the theme of werewolves for this November, here is Warren Griffith from the Creature Commandos.
