Wolfman in the Leaf Pile

Eric — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:02:00 +0000

Maybe this is the beginning of some storyboards for a film I’d like to do some day, maybe it’s just a bunch of sketches drawn during TV last night, or maybe it’s both. Prepare for leaf pile horror!

Dangit, I’m a wolfman?

Bummer news, man. Kurt Vonnegut thinks it’s funny, though.

Debil Gerbil

As children, my sister and I never had much luck with our gerbils. They were, in fact, bitey little cannibals.

He’s not scary, just a little bit hairy.

Thirsty for life, hungry for Alpo

Eric — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:39:23 +0000

A slightly uptight wolfman.

Back yard werewolf

Eric — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:32:33 +0000

I remember one October as a kid, hiding in leaf piles in the back yard, wearing my werewolf mask with a few dabs of fake blood on my arm, ready to pop out and scare the folks and the sister. I waited and waited. And waited. Until finally … they bagged me and put me by the curb.

These sketches are based on the scary werewolf in the back yard that we all wanted to be at one time or another.

Beware of the Cod

Eric — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:11:47 +0000

Another character design for my own project. This character is “The Cod,” who used to be “The Caped Cod,” a tights-wearing superhero before the scientific accident that gave him his powers turned him into a monster.

The Countdown to Halloween continues, though slightly differently than planned. I’ll return to new, finished pieces next week!

Ghost-Head Girl

Eric — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:32:40 +0000

Character design for a personal project.

Stingy Jack

Eric — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:56:48 +0000

Another sketch this morning. The story of Stingy Jack is the backstory of today’s jack-o-lanterns.

Bells Beckon To Hereafter

Eric — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:03:59 +0000

Hell’s Bells ringing in my ears. Based on this peppy 1932 song from Syd Peltyn and his orchestra, “The New Yorkers.” Get a load of that licorice stick.

More about the song tomorrow, and the devilish final piece!
