I can’t tell you why. The image just came to me when I was planning the week out and it stuck with me and now we have the grim reaper driving a dodgem car. I don’t know what else to say LOL.
Day 13. The Grim Reaper #inktober
Day 12. The Slasher #inktober
If I’m completely honest Halloween was never really my bag, I was more A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th kind of guy but I do love the original film and Michael Myers is part of the 80s/90s horror trinity. I also love how as soon as you know about it, you can’t […]
Day 11. Too many eyes #inktober
Yeah I went back to the well 😉
Day 10. The Wolfman #inktober
Once again I’m a huge fan of the original wolfman and the limitations they had makeup wise produced a look and feel that is very much to my liking. So I was kind of keen to find a very modern werewolf pose and take the old look and work with that. The paper is gorgeous […]
Day 9. Tentacle #inktober
Wow so thanks to my telco provider screwing up I’m currently without internet except on my phone so I’m posting this from my iPhone and I’m impressed by how well WordPress comes up on the mobile. Still not my preferred way of doing stuff but it should only be a week at worst. I know […]
Day 8. Blood Sucker #inktober
Today’s is just fun. The red really pops which is cool and the paper is back to a type that can be worked with – I’m tempted to flip through the rest of the book to see if I have anymore of that awful paper to work with. I was actually thinking about leeches when […]
Day 7. The Mummy! #inktober
I’m a huge Universal Studios Horror fan so the definitive “Mummy” for me is Boris Karloff’s. Not that this is strictly that mummy but it’s certainly inspired by him. I still haven’t seen the Tom Cruise – The Mummy yet. This one was so late in the day because I spent the better part of […]
Day 6. Crypt #inktober
The horrible shiny tabloid paper from yesterday is back and generally very unpleasant to work with. You can’t use pencils on it at all so this is all done directly in ink. Sharpies even hate it and then when you scan it the paper throws all sorts of weird colour off. I wanted to invoke […]
Day 5. Haunted #inktober
The paper on this one was bloody awful. It was this kind of gloss finish cheap junk mail style paper. The pencil really struggled to make a mark. I’m enjoying again how these all have little stories in them. Some of them are proving to be excellent proof of concepts as I formulate doing […]
Day 4. Black Cat #inktober
It seems appropriate that today’s entry is feline themed as when this publishes I’ll be dropping my two furry family members Jones and Umi off at the airport. Sad for me, but they’re going to live with Tracey so I’m really happy she gets to spend time with them. They have been a huge supportive […]
