Happy Halloweenies.

Sketches drawn while watching Saturday Night Hockey double-header during commercials and intermissions.

Buncha-whachamacallits

I wanted to do some scrying but nothing showed up so I ended up with this drawing for now.

The 'normal' drawings of the 2 old geezers at the far right are referenced from the local paper as a warmup process. Although the process of drawing these were fun, I still don't get it nor like the overall piece. Oh well, whatever. =S

Latest Dump

No sleep, no peace!

Ah, there's no end to this painting at all. I worked on this for 8 hours straight without any breaks, and then some more after I woke up. It seems too awfully long for a piece like this. I wish I worked faster.

It all started from a doodle drawn on the back of a bank envelope (as shown) while I was waiting for tea to boil. It was the only drawing I liked all day so I wanted to post something to keep up with the dailies. By the time I scanned it, I was already fiddling around with it when I meant to scan it, post it on the blog and then go to sleep. One hour went by and then another. I've been up for 24+ hours and then forced myself to sleep around noon. I couldn't sleep afterwards. Then once I did manage to sleep, I only slept for a mere 5 hours. Fun. My sleeping schedule is so hopeless. So I woke up, got up, painted some more and now I'm pretty sick/cranky of this piece. Still looks like a long ways to go but ah well. Eff it.

Alien Jackolantern

WIP2, top sketch. So far, trying to push it out further. Determined to finish this piece for its sake. Yesterday's painting is a bit different because its not truthfully a dark to lights experience. Its more of a fixed experience where the lines are already there and I'm trying too hard to be accommodating to it when all along certain forces are screaming inside me to change it, that its not the way to be, or that line is out of place or the 3dness is off or for some other reason. But it looks like I'm still too accommodating to it, too fearful of losing the image that I have set out to paint because I really don't want to deviate too much from the original. Well, screw it! =P We'll see where it goes tommorrow.

The sketchbook page was as far as I wanted to take it before quitting after an hour or so. It was drawn too big anyways taking up the entire 11x17 page. Rendering it would take foreverrrrr so I decided to take it up with Photoshop instead. Hopefully this will get done tonight.

Singed Sunflower meets Spawn?

Homunculus Hijacking Humungous Hemp Hosts

How a wandering nature spirit seeking to find its own expression in life, commandeers a pumpkin into a living sentient plant creature.

The visage of the pumpkin itself gives inspiration for the form the nature spirit wants to give to its host. If its a frightful look, as usually the case before the days of halloween, then its first impressions will determine the hosts' final material form and 'nature', that of light or dark. With that in mind, the nature spirit beings its work by implanting itself within the pumpkin's core to metamorphosize into a living jackolantern.
