Pigs is Pigs

Don't even ask me what made me decide to draw pigs.

No it's not the Geico Gecko

Drawergeeks: Teeth

This weeks Drawergeeks theme was teeth. This is one of those pieces that was pretty well formed in my mind as soon as I heard the theme. I think it owes a lot to this record album that I had when I was young:


That picture of Puff always scared me too much to look at it for any length of time, but it definately stuck with me. The eyes and that crooked smile definately came from that LP. I didn't even realize that I still had it until this morning, so the inspiration was from the LP's memory, not actual physical reference. Below is the final sketch that I used for the painting. If I'm working on something that's got an established model or look, I'll do a drawing much tighter than this, but this one was very much about playing with the shapes and lines and I kinda just decided to do that in the painting stage.

Just some kids

Get your goat!

Just one more piece...

The "week after Halloween struggle".

The First Girl of November

Nevermore

The Hound

Actually it's more of a fluffy dog, but that didn't sound very Halloween-y.

Ghostly feline

Goblins

The Goblins Are Coming

by Eric Scales

When the moon is all slight in that thin crescent way
And the mist through the trees wraps around
Then the Goblins set out to steal someone away
To slave in their mines underground

And they're coming tonight to take you away
The Goblins are coming for you
There's nothing at all you can do or can say
The Goblins are coming for you.

A goblin band is hard to turn away once it's set out
And there really is no chance that they've disbanded
You're the only pick up scheduled for this evening and I doubt
That they'd waste the trip and go home emptyhanded


And they're coming tonight to take you away
The Goblins are coming for you
There's nothing at all you can do or can say
The Goblins are coming for you.


So you'd better get used to doing all the hard things that you're told
For your goblin-free life here will soon be through

They're not coming to help the cobbler or to spin straw into gold
No, the Goblins, child, are coming here for you.

A little Wednesday Mischief

Still trying to come up with a suitable name for this little guy. He's a mischeivious white kitten with a black head, or is he a black kitten with a white body?

Vampire

Trying to stay with my Halloween theme, I was doodling vampires. I wanted to keep the traditional Bela Lugosi formula (same costume, widow's peak, etc...) but try some different body types to get different characters. None were too successful but I kinda like this one.
