HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2019.

A Happy Halloween to all. Hope you’re having a good one this year.

We’re giving in to our mucky side this Halloween, as SLASH-UPS celebrates and shows some love to the often overlooked horror sub-genre of Muck-Monsters. While they might not be the smartest or sexiest creatures in pop culture, many would argue they’re probably the grossest. What they lack in personality, they make up for in yuckiness.

So please enjoy our SLASH-UPS Halloween offerings for this year. I think it’s fair to say we’ve both gone for two very different type of Muck-Monster. Those being…

Beware the deadly Sand Thing. Andrew’s desert dwelling giant made of sand and animal bone. An update of a previous 2011 concept given a new reworking and redesign. Out in the desert, no one survives an encounter with Sand Thing.

And check out the mulch madness that is James’s Compost Lyn. Eco friendly, maybe, but a foul mouthed smelling Muck-Monster who will punish all those who dare to litter.

Enjoy, and I should also mention we’re throwing around the idea of possibly doing a ‘VS’ pin-up at some point down the line. So if folks wanna see two particular SLASH-UPS villains ‘duke it out’, we’d love to hear your suggestions or who you’d vote for.

And if that wasn’t enough Halloween scares for you, don’t forget that Babayka-Lives has returned this October as Babayka Land continues. The search for Babayka goes to a very dark place (literally). As well as the bonus treat for all Yana fans, as she gets her own character sheet. See the Queen Of Mean in all her glory this Halloween.

Yana Nomass Character Sheet.

A little pre-Halloween treat today, for all my blog readers. Hope you enjoyed the return of Babayka-Lives on Saturday, and as an extra bonus for Babayka fans (just to up your Halloween chills), please enjoy this new Yana character sheet.

There’s no two ways about it… Yana Nomass is by far the character I have drawn the most in my comic book career. From her introduction on the very first page of Brides Of Babayka, to her current bloody misadventures in Babayka Land. While the series might be named after Babayka, I very much see her as the comic’s public face. I purposely try and keep Babayka ambiguous and unknown to the reader, while Yana does all the hard work.

Plus who doesn’t love a late teens, early twenties, brunette, Russian femme fatale? Over the years, she gone from Babayka’s trusty henchman (or rather woman), to probably my favourite character. I often wonder if she does have any fans out there among readers, or if her scary nature frightens them off.

This Yana character sheet is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Just to put it in context, I did Babayka’s character sheet back in 2015. So I’m very glad I got time recently to finally finish it.

You can see Babayka character sheet HERE.

And the original Brides character sheet HERE.

Final Reminder.

This weekend, to celebrate Halloween, Babayka-Lives returns.

It’s time to finally find out what’s waiting for Newton, Oleg, Serrock and his men on the other side of that ominous giant hole.

Will they survive… Or will they really join the dead…

For Those That Halloween Hard.

If like me, you plan to throw yourself into Halloween this year to escape the horrors of real life, let me just remind folks Babayka-lives has you covered (since I seem to pretty much forget every year around this time to mention it).

As well as a secret bonus Babayka treat this Halloween, the webcomic itself also returns next Saturday (October the 26th) as Babayka Land continues. Finally find out what is waiting on the other side of that forbidding giant hole, as the search for Babayka gets intense.

Also, for people looking for good scary reads this Halloween , just a reminder that both Brides Of Babayka and the first part of Babayka Land are available on Amazon.

Brides Of Babayka is a complete 116-page graphic novel that can be found HERE.

Babayka Land is Part One of Three (basically the first 32-pages), and can be found HERE.

Both books come with extras like pin-ups and character sheets, and all sales really do help this series.

2019 might have been a bit Babayka light so far this year, but it’s certainly not gonna end that way.

Digital Drama.

Yikes… it’s depressing how close I came to loosing all my current digital files of Babayka-Lives this week and having to cancel its Halloween return.

Technology is really not being very kind to me lately, and I don’t have the money to buy newer and kinder technology to replace it.
