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

Inktober Day Twenty One – Cadaverous Cowboys

I had mixed feelings about today’s prompt, “Cadaverous Cowboys”. On one hand, I had a really good idea. On the other hand, I can barely draw a decent horse when I cheat and trace.

Other than that concern I think it came out okay. The basic idea for it was a cross between “Ghost Riders in the Sky“ and the “Blind Dead“.

Day Twenty One of Inktober is Cadaverous Cowboys

Inktober Day Twenty – Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Friday

I’m kind of satisfied with today’s prompt “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Friday” but otherwise meh.

I confess I wasn’t looking forward to doing this one. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is hard to spell out in one drawing. (personally, the only image I could think of was Hyde walking down the street looking for whores and booze like he does in the novel. Unfortunately, if I did that all the viewer would see would be a Victorian, slightly bestial, thug. No, if you want to do Jekyll and Hyde you either have to do something with either the transformation or the duality.

To make matters worse I got a bit of a late start and most of my blue pencils which made the initial sketch sloppy.

Still… I guess it’s kind of okay.

Day twenty of Inktober is "Dr Jekyll and Mr Friday"
