Rhapsodies

I’ve learned the hard way that when your only experience working with a character is parody it’s difficult and disorienting to turn around and do them straight.

So when the Inktober tupperware told me to draw a Nightgaunt I’d been a little nonplussed as the only other time I’d drawn one was as a cartoony logo for Nancy’s favorite baseball team. 

Other than seeing them mentioned in one of his poems I haven’t read any of H.P. Lovecraft’s text evidence about them and most of my “experience” with them comes from Neal Gaiman’s Graveyard Book.

All in all this version is kind of a mix of numerous illustrations I’ve seen in the past.
