Doris Hutchens opened the refrigerator and looked plaintively at its contents. She wasn't really hungry but there was still some time until the news and she was bored. She would go to bed after, but she needed a quick update. Tomorrow was going to be a day long event and she'd have no time to catch up until Sunday afternoon. She had multiple clients to see before noon and then parade preparations all afternoon. There was still a piece of cheesecake left in the fridge from their dinner out in Hamptonville. She scooped it up and placed it on a saucer.
At least everyone's costumes were finished. She had finished all the sewing Wednesday. She and Renee and Margaret, the two other stylists from the Style Shop, were all going to be dressed as 1950's housewives but with a witchy twist. The float they would be riding had been constructed with three swings created to look like brooms. When they sat in the swings, it would appear as though they were flying on broomsticks. The rest of the float was constructed to look like glitter covered clouds.
She sat at the kitchen table and dug her fork into the cheesecake. She savored the first creamy bites as they dissolved against her tongue. Trixie, her chihuahua, came into the room and whined at her feet. Doris dropped a small bite of the cheesecake onto the floor and Trixie quickly devoured it. Doris leaned down and nuzzled the dogs' ears.
Until I began doing research for this piece, I was unaware that Mysa Nal, the White Witch from the Legion of Superheroes, had a different appearance previous to her early 80's albino look.
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.
At the edge of destruction,

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.
