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 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 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 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 14: Armor Up
The Armor prompt is another one of those things when I start off with a great idea, but somewhere during execution, it all kind of fell apart. This time, I’m trying to do a Deadite from Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness. The ideal image would have been a Deadite with a sick ass armor,…

Inktober 2020 Day 15: Wolf At The Door Of The Outpost
A staple of spookiness is the werewolf and that’s what I used for the Outpost prompt. I would revisit werewolves in a later entry. For this one, I just did a werewolf’s silhouette with the moon as the background. I could have done better with the details, even though it’s just a silhouette. I just…

Inktober 2020 Day 16: Rocket Woman
Just as I inserted something spooky into a non-spooky scene with the Outpost prompt, I did the same with Rocket. This time, I used a witch to complement the prompt. Instead of using the traditional old hag aesthetic of witches, I chose to do the more modern young sexy witch visual. So basically, it’s an…

Inktober 2020 Day 17: The Panic Before The Storm
For the Storm prompt, I drew a scene from Jurassic Park because that’s the first thing I thought of when I looked at the prompt. Dinosaurs may not be one of your traditional spooky things, but it’s spooky enough. I went back to the white lines on lack background look for this. I’m so happy…

Inktober 2020 Day 18: It’s A Trap!
For the Trap prompt, I thought long and hard about doing Admiral Ackbar, but 1) it was too obvious and 2) he’s not spooky at all. So I went with horror classic Saw. This is the first time I used clean black and white lines without shading. I enjoyed finding ways to make two colors…
