Featured Creature HZO: Werewolf

"My mom's dog came running past me, yelping.  Someone was banging on the back door.  I ran into the kitchen, but stopped in my tracks.    It took me several moments to process what I was seeing.

Featured Creature HZO: Frankenstein

"There was a loud thump at the window.  I screamed and jumped back.  There was one of them at the window trying to get in.   He was struggling against the glass like a bird.  He was opening and closing his mouth as he pressed against the window.  I could hear the window  making popping and creaking noises as he flailed against it."

From The Sketchbook Archives: Ghastly Mcnasty

Last year I was working on a comic book piece for that year's issue of Hallowscream, but due to a change of residence I was unable to finish the piece, but in the warming up, I did this quick sketch of the magazine's creepy host, Ghastly Mcnasty.  Please go check out this year's issue of Hallowscream.  It should be available on Halloween.

Featured Creature HZO: Clown

"I was out back when I got attacked.  I had to finish cleaning before I could leave for the party, but I'd been waiting tables all night and I needed a break.  I stepped outside for a cigarette.

Featured Creature HZO: Witch

"Halloween night, yeah, that was when it all started.  I think I saw my first one over on main and third.  I was waiting at the traffic light when I noticed movement in front of one of the buildings across the street.  Another car passed in the opposing lane and that's when I saw her.

Featured Creature HZO: Dracula

"I heard one of the children gasp.  I looked up from my candy dish and saw a young boy in a Dracula costume at the end of the walkway.  It looked like  he had fallen or something.  His cape was torn and his pants leg was shredded and he seemed to be favoring one foot as he walked.

Featured Creature Halloween Zombie Outbreak: Ghost


In honor of the of the darksome holiday of ghouls I am trying an experiment to see if my pen and pad are quick enough.  From now until October 31st, the Thirteen Days of Halloween, I'll be bringing you one zombie trick-or-treater a day.

Frustration

Blocked energy only builds.  Emotions escape the vessel as billowing clouds of steam.  The body melts and transforms under these stresses.  Soon, the changes will be irrevocable.

Featured Creature: The Puppet Rises

More shambling, but this time in the form of a disturbing automaton.  This started out as a figure study for something else and turned into this creepy little slime guy.  Slime always makes everything worse.

Featured Creature: Autumn Winds

With this week's creature, we're taking a brief respite from the Zombie outbreak and paying homage to the Halloween paraphernalia from the early twentieth century.  I've always enjoyed the rustic feel of those old Halloween decorations and cards.  They seem so odd to me.  I am fascinated by the jigsaw logic of putting a Jack-o-lantern head on a ghost body.  Fun stuff!
