Inktober 2020 Day 13: Git ‘Er Dune
For the Dune prompt, there is no choice other than doing that big worm thing from Frank Herbert’s novel Dune. I haven’t read it yet so I have no idea what that thing actually is, but I’ve seen artwork and it looks spooky enough. I had so much fun with the style I used with…

Inktober 2020 Day 12: Slippery Slimer
I had a lot of fun with the Slippery prompt. I did Slimer from Ghostbusters, a staple of my childhood. Your life isn’t complete if you were a young lad in the late ’80s and early ’90s and not have watched the TV series or the original movie. I’m pretty happy with how I recreated…

Inktober 2020 Day 11: Something Disgusting
This is one of those times when I started doing something but ended up with something I like better. I wanted to do a zombie for the Disgusting prompt and I think I didn’t just do something disgusting but something also disturbing. Most people are already tired of zombies, thanks to The Walking Dead and…

Inktober 2020 Day 10: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter
The Hope prompt took me the longest to come up with an idea. It’s just hard to marry the idea of hope with anything that’s supposed to be spooky. I even considered straying from my Spooktober theme, but in the end, I found a way to work in a positive concept with Hell. Specifically, I…

Inktober 2020 Day 9: Don’t Throw This Out
The Green Goblin isn’t a spooky character but he’s Halloween-themed so he will do for the Throw prompt. I drew him here throwing one of his signature pumpkin bombs at the viewer. I decided to do it at an angle to make it more interesting and to also maximize the vertical orientation that I decided…

Inktober 2020 Day 8: Got Some Teeth
This is an exercise in shading and shadows as a relied heavily on using black to give depth to a rose with teeth. The image is based on the poster for the 2007 film Teeth, a horror comedy. It’s a deep cut that only weirdos like me actively sought out when it was released. Not…

Inktober 2020 Day 7: Lurch Is So Fancy, You Already Know
The Addams Family is probably the First Family of Spookiness, so for the Fancy prompt, I chose to do Lurch. Nothing says fancy than a butler that may or may not be a walking corpse, right? The version of Lurch I went with was the cartoon one. He’s the easiest to raw not just because…

Inktober 2020 Day 6: Rodent King
My idea for the Rodent prompt was so good, I didn’t have a single alternative option. I wanted to draw a rat king. Unfortunately, I couldn’t look too long at reference photos because rat kings are pretty gross. Hence, this was drawn based purely on imagination. And it shows because it’s really, really rough. I…

Inktober 2020 Day 5: Blade of Glory
I recently saw Blade: Trinity on Netflix so the Daywalker is pretty fresh in my mind. That’s why with the Blade prompt for Inktober this year, there was only one choice for my subject — mah boi Wesley Snipes. Specifically, I used one of the posters for the first Blade movie as a reference. I…
