Inktober Day Twenty Five – Do as I Say Not as I Voodoo

Day Twenty-Five’s prompt, “Do as I say not as I Voodoo, had me scratching my head. For the usual reasons, I was having trouble thinking of ways to do do a voodoo image that said voodoo. The biggest problem is, to the casual observer, the voodoo zombie is indistinguishable from Hollywood zombies, and I’d already done them. I had an idea for a Voodoo Lady conducting a ritual in the swamp, but she would have been too similar to the two witch images on this list.

I eventually went with having two Loa, Baron Samedi, and Maman Brigitte watching zombies walk up a dirt road. I decided to focus on Maman Brigitte because I didn’t trust myself to turn Baron Samedi into a one-man minstrel show.

Having said that I’m really pleased how this one turned out.

The “real” Ariane is still providing footnotes with her side of the story. Here she tells us how she and Brian got to the party before the events of this strip. With Brian’s driving, it’s a miracle the cops didn’t notice.

The Real Ariane provides some footnotes to the current story line.

Inktober Day Twenty Four – Aw, Hex!

I really wasn’t sure about today’s prompt, “Aw Hex!”. More than the usual reasons, I mean. The big problem is there appear to be two separate witch themes on this list. (Three if you count the one about Voodoo.) 

Hex can be used as a generic term for witchcraft. However, it’s also a very specific kind of charm anyone can do. Take a look at any Pensylvania Dutch farmhouse, if you don’t believe me.

So I ended up doing a Witch doing a hex in the woods. For some reason, I ended up doing her as a teenage Witchipoo.

For Day twenty four of Inktober we have Aw, Hex!

Inktober Day Twenty Two – Ghast Christmas

Personally, I don’t like to mix my holidays but the prompt, “Ghast Christmas” said I had to. For all I know they were going for something like possed presents, from Nightmare before Christmas, when they put this on the list. Either that or some sort of evil version of Santa Claus.

But for me, if you want to mix Halloween with Christmas you have to go with the best Christmas boogieman, Krampus.

For Day Twenty Two of Inktober the prompt was Ghast Christmas
