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.

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.

Jacko

This piece suffered from a mental fight within me. At first it was starting to look like a super-villian with a costume idea. I didn't want it to go that way since my Ego wanted to keep it to a jackolantern theme. So you can see half of it as a villain in the making with the other half trying to go for a jacko vein to it. Now its a twisted mess of either version.

Little did I realise that costumes/superheros/villains go well with halloween. So I should have been more faithful with the original idea in the first place!

Punkin' Pumpkins Pillaging Pennsylvania

Continuing with the Jack'o'lantern theme for the annoys. Each drawing took about an hour and a half or so. Slightly edited on Photoshop.
