garden, Halloween, pumpkin

We built a garden this year. Naturally, that meant I would be planting at least one of these:
It seems to be doing okay. It should only be a matter of time until the Great Pumpkin rises from the back yard. We’ve certainly had plenty of rain. I’m a little concerned about the paleness of the leaves, though. As much as I’ve been enjoying all the recent thunderstorms a little more sunlight would probably do this thing some good.
Then there’s the matter of the beetles that have started hanging around the place. Something will have to be done about that.
Halloween, haunt, making monsters, props, sketch

Another monster sketch. This is actually the very first version of one of the creatures that will be supporting cast to the Baba Yaga(esque) prop. The drawing in my last post was the second attempt.
I’m thinking about doing another and making the creature more birdlike. Somewhere between a goblin, a miniature Nosferatu and a large raven.
The odds are that the end result will be vastly different from any of the sketches. It often works out that way. Still, drawing is a part of the process I really enjoy.
Halloween, haunt, pen and ink, props

An early sketch of a monster design I’m working on for Halloween ’08.
It’s pen & ink with some marker and a little Photoshop to remove a few adjacent doodles.
