HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2018.

Wishing everyone a happy and spooky Halloween this year. Hope you’ve all been eating plenty of sweets and watching tons of horror movies this October.

As promises, to celebrate Halloween today, two new Vampire theme pin-ups have been done by myself and James (our first SLASH-UPS artwork since our Halloween 2017 art show) for horror fans to enjoy. You’ll be able to find James’s pin-up over on his Deviantart page in due course, as he shows what Vampires do with their fangs during the midnight hours (Hint: it‘s gross). And I do my first ‘Model and Monsters’ pin-up this year, as we find out what happens when Boo tries to party her way into Vampire society (Hint: she’s probably gonna feel very dehydrated by the time the sun comes up).

A little something for all Vampire Lovers out there, we hope. From mild bondages and what to do with a nocturnal party crasher, to the horrors of undead dental care and growing older. We hope you enjoy our Vampire Halloween offerings.

Please feel free to suggest any other horror sub-genres to us you might want to see tackled in a future SLASH-UPS challenge. We are very open to suggestions, and have briefly talked and about ones we’d like to do down the road.

And head over to my gallery section on Deviantart now to check out both black-and-white and coloured versions of my new pin-up, as crushed velvet takes on skin-tight PVC in Vampire Soiree. A party you’re all invited to, so wash those necks and sharpen those fangs.

And again, have an amazing Halloween, everyone, I’ll post a preview of both fang-tastic pin-ups together below. Enjoy:

Halloween Reading.

Since hopefully many of you will be making Babayka-Lives part of your spooky reading list this Halloween. I thought it might be fun if I posted what I’ll be reading this year too.

Also on a side note, it’s good to see a UK publisher putting out a horror anthology comic again.

Yana For Halloween.

Just a quick and final reminder that Babayka-Lives returns this coming Saturday just in time for Halloween.

Rejoin Yana, Elizabeth and Katchalov as they try and make their way out of Krayvengrad and back to safety. But are they alone out there in those dark woods?

Final Bite.

This will probably be my last update on all things SLASH-UPS: Vampire Halloween before the big day itself (unless you’re reading this on my blog, in which case there might be one or two more updates, but no promises).

Although it was great to do a full on art show last year in a spooky haunted crypt and everything (has it really been a year already?), I didn’t really get much time to enjoy Halloween last October, as I was working on the show with James full time. So while again I have been busy with horror stuff, I’ve been trying to enjoy it a little more this year.

Speaking of which… today I post my final Vampire promo pic. I had a lot of fun doing something different and making these recently. I’ve been dieing to get back into photography and horror effects for a while now. And although sadly I didn’t have much luck persuading other people to join in with these (my Vampire hypno skills must be waning this Halloween), I found making them a really fun little side project.

As you can see, this time I’ve gone from Vampire to Vampire Hunter in this final pic, as I channel my inner Peter Cushing. I always like seeing what people dress up as for Halloween, so consider this my effort for this year.

So tune in this coming Halloween to see the new SLASH-UPS Vampire theme covers by myself and James. I’m happy to say I’ve already seen James’s cover and it’s looking awesome. I’m both very nervous and very excited about posting my own Vampire cover.

Also, Babayka-Lives returns next weekend just in time for Halloween. I know my readership usually goes up a little during this spooky time of year, so feel free to give the series a 'catch up' read to get yourself in the right Halloween mood and remind yourself what has previously gone before.

Babayka Will Return.

I know in all the mad chaos of trying to get SLASH-UPS: Vampire Halloween ready to go, I maybe haven’t been giving as many Babayka-Lives updates as I should, but I can assure you Babayka Land will be also returning this Halloween, so for any readers worrying I’d forgot, have no fear. The next instalment goes up in just two short weeks on the 27th.

And just to make it official, I’ve also announce it on my webcomic.

I love Halloween… but jeez it's a busy time for me.

Bite-Size Update.

October is here, so I thought I’d give folks a quick update on SLASH-UPS Vampire Halloween happening at the end of this month.

It’s all a bit up-in-the-air right now as to what will be posted and where, but be assured we (myself and James) both will be doing a new Vampire theme pin-up for this forthcoming mini-event. We are currently both hard at work rustling up new fang-friendly content in honour of the big day.

But in the meantime and to get people in the mood…

Yes… lock up your wenches and pray you remembered to hang up that garlic, as after a couple of weeks off, the Vampire has returned to the village for another frenzied feeding on anyone unlucky enough to cross his\its paths, in the second Vampire promo pic. Creeping about in the shadows with a bloodlust that must be satisfied, no one is safe from his\its hungry fangs.

No pretty boy Vampires here who sparkle in the daylight. Just an undead ghoul who has your scent.

Who will survive this Vampire Halloween and who will end up getting sucked dry via their neck? Find out soon.

Bug Attack Season.

It’s that time of year again when insects start flooding into my room in droves. It’s just a constant fight of man vs. trillions of annoying little bugs of all shapes and colours and sizes just trying to force their way into my home. Every type of creepy-crawly is currently trying to move in for the winter or die trying.

And yet for some strange reason I refuse to kill the ladybirds… in a weird roundabout way is that sexist?
