HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2022.

It's that spooky time of year again. So I'd like to wish everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2022 and hope you all have a great weekend of thrills and chills.

Last year I went super obscure with my Halloween monster pick. So this year I've gone for a creature that everyone will know and hopefully enjoy. The 'workhorse' of the monster world, if you will. The good old rotten Zombie.

I also wanted to get away from doing a simple Pin-up this year and do something a bit more interactive this Halloween. Return to something I've only ever done once before and give it another go.

Just a little something for those that like their Paper Dolls morbid and decaying. Or anyone looking for some mini Halloween decorations for around the house this year. Or even those with Nerf or BB Guns looking for some Zombie themed targets to shoot at.

Whenever I'm drawing a Zombie, I do like to try and think of all stuff he\she might have been through while shambling about looking for Humans and try and get that over in the art. Maybe how they died, and if they have 'battle damage' from encounters with survivors.

I also have to confess, ever since I found out Clip Studio has a 'Dotted Line' tool, I've been dying to find an excuse to use it. So I'm very glad this project came along.

So again, HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2022, everyone, and hope you're all having a good one this year. And please remember to try and avoid giving yourself papercuts when handling these new Zombie Paper Dolls, as it will get infected and lead to Zombification.

Spooky Action.

Not sure why Commando Comics have got into the Halloween spirit so much this year, but I for one am very glad they have.

It's good to have something spooky put out by a UK publisher to read at Halloween.

Who doesn't wanna see British Soldiers fighting Zombies and Yetis at Halloween?

Otherworldly Shrubbery.

Just a quick post for those that like their weird Alien Egg Plants in colour...

Unseen Terror.

I rarely, if ever (in fact I'm pretty sure I've never done this) posted a picture of my artwork during colouring without the linework.

But I was so taken with how cool this current creature looks 'lines free' that I had to share a quick snapshot. 

I'd like to think I've really upped my 'Colour Game' over the last couple of years, but who knows. I certainly enjoy colouring my art a lot more now.

I'm Halloweening As Fast As I Can.

For those that have maybe been following my Artwork for while now, you might know I like to start my Halloween prepping early... In recent years I've even started getting into the habit of starting work on my October offering in late Summer.

I should say this year I've had to scale back and have only just started work on my Halloween Artwork this week, thanks to commitments to other ongoing Art projects as well as just trying to fit it in around dreaded real life. 

Rest assure though I do have a ghoulish idea boiling in my cauldron, and it's something a bit different. If I'm honest I'm kind of making it up as I go along a bit more this year. Playing it by ear, if you will. But hopefully that might be a good thing.

I don't know how other peoples' Halloweens are panning out so far this year?

Alien Egg-Planet.

Just to prove that I never learn from my mistakes and in fact sometimes make the same mistake but even bigger... Here is more Alien Planet life that I've spent ages drawing, inking and colouring that'll no doubt be covered up when the page is Lettered.

If nothing else, though, I feel it at least helps with the 'World Building' of the Comic. Little hints to the otherworldly Jungle Planet the characters are on (I hope).
