Day 12: 30 days of Halloween

There was a request on the Scoundrel Art forum if I could do some "Monster Squad" stuff from the 80's.  Well here is my first try, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, depicted in the movie Monster Squad.  I may color it later, but for this project, black/white means done.  :)

Day 11 - 30 Days of Halloween - Frankenstein

Ack!  I am getting behind with scanning the sketches!  Anyway, here is yesterdays sketch.  Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster.  I love this character, it is my favorite of all the Universal Monsters.

Day 9 - 30 Days of Halloween

Another long day at the expo, so I didn't get the sketch done until late tonite, but still on day nine!  I can't scan it this late so like yesterday, I will upload it later.  Tonites sketch was a Witch and a boiling cauldron.  Another request froma facebook friend.

*update*
It is Monday and I have scanned it:

30 days of Halloween - Day 7 Request day

I posted a question on facebook and asked for requests.  One of my high school friends wanted our school mascot fighting another mascot, well I was feeling zombie-ish, so instead I took our GHS mascot a Mohican, and made him a zombie.  Separated jaws are difficult!  LOL

Long Live GHS Mohicans!

30 days of Halloween - Day 6, update on an old favorite

Update on an old favorite, The Phantom of the Opera.  Not the classic Lon Chaney Jr., no this is Robert Eglund of the Nightmare on Elm St. movies.  A red and scarred face hidden behind a grotesque skull mask. 

I am still not going to go to sleep around him.

30 Days of Halloween - Day 5

Today's sketch is the always creepy Boris Karloff as "The Mummy"

30 Days of Halloween - Day 4

Okay, I know that this being posted late, but I just didn;t have time to scan it last night.  I was trying to think of what to do and I though of "Trick-or-Treater Tuesdays"!  (Coming to a Hooters near you this fall  lol)  This is a little Mummy and he is so proud of his costume. 

30 Days of Halloween - Day 3

Day 3 of my Halloween sketches.  A hungry zombie, looking for brains.  The scan didn't seem to capture all of my awesome color variations. :p

30 Days of Halloween - Day 2

A suggestion from a Facebook friend.  Jack Skellington taking a nice crunchy bite out of a Christmas ornament.  I like Jack, I will probaby do more of him.  I got some other suggestions, I will have to think about how to do them, some of them are kinda "out there"  LOL.

30 Days of Halloween - Day 1

I wanted to do a "__ Days of ____" project.  I thought Halloween would be a great place to start.  I am going to do a halloween-themed piece of art every day until Oct 30.  I am hoping some interesting work happens during this. 

Won't you please join me in the journey into the Macabre?  Muah ha ha!

Today is a sketch card of my son on our first door-to-door Halloween trip.  Some of the houses really spooked him, but he had just turned 3 so I totally understood.  He had no idea what Halloween was, "They just give me candy??"  It was the most wonderful he had ever imagined.  :)

Sketch Card trading - Oran Parker

I got a note from another sketchcard artist named Oran Parker, (Check out his site http://www.oranparker.com/ ) who wanted to know if I would trade cards with him.  After checking out his stuff, I said Yes right away.  He requested Beta-Ray Bill, Abe Lincoln and Hawkman.  None of which I had any experience with, but I thought this would be a great deal.  I had a bunch of things going on travel-wise (see Korea blog-post) so I wasn't able to get to them finished right away.  I saw the cards he did (see his blog post about the trade) and I knew I was going to need to up my game.  Anyway.  I did one of Abe Lincoln "Vampire Slayer", A raging Bill, and Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl.  I did the Lincoln on tan card stock to give it a vintage feel.  I wanted the Hawkman to still feel Golden-Agey so I tried to do it in that style.  I just wanted Bill to look as pissed off as I could.  I did an earlier one, that I will post later, but in the pencils stage, I creased it doing some erasing and so I had to start over again.  I actually did another Abe, but I didn't like the feeling, so I redid it and I think this one is much much better.  I hope he likes them!

Couple of sketch cards

I just got back from a vacation to WA. and a trip to Korea.  I am still tired.  lol  Anyway, these are a couple of cards I did right before I took off.  HR Puffinstuff and Gandalf the Grey
