I’ll just identify the species in the more finished sketches –
At the top is a Mi-Go.
In the middle a Dunak.
At the bottom a Tinkerer.
The Daily Random
Across the top of the page: a variation on the Monster of Piedras Blancas, K.Z. O’Neil and someone unfinished.
Across the middle of the page: a variation on an exposed brain alien and Buffy Crawfield.
Across the bottom of the page: a little person, Cherice Unomuro, Zebragirl and an unfinished something.
Everybody Has A Vampire Story
One of those stories I’ll probably never get around to drawing concerns vampires. That’s okay. The world has plenty of vampire stories. Most of the characters I invent are entirely imaginary, or at least they aren’t based on anyone I personally know. The characters in my vampire story are all based on the first set of roommates I had at my first apartment. I included myself as one of the characters. Not on this page though.
The plot? A bunch of happy, partying roommates gets turned into vampires by a little hippie vampire who is feeling lonely and wants some happy vampires to party with. Wackiness (and bloody violence and senseless mayhem) ensues.
Halloween Banner
This illustration was done as a banner for the Halloween edition of the day job’s email newsletter. I’ll have to look around and see if I can find the colored version of this.
Sentient 39
While none of these sketches represent any specific character I’m pretty sure they are representative of characters from my Sentient 39 universe. Not that that really explains much if you don’t live in my head. Which hopefully you don’t. It leaks and no one has vacuumed the carpets since I was born.
All Tangled Up
The portrait at the top of the page is a burrabb. By now you might recognize the creatures.
I don’t know (or don’t remember) what’s happening to the poor fellow below the burrabb. He doesn’t look like he’s having a good time.
Refining the Monster
Here is a more developed version of yesterday’s burrabb monster.
Friday
The main creature here is the first draft of a burrabb predator – that is, a creature that preys on burrabbs the way vampires and werewolves prey on humans.
Dig Them Horns
This page got posted primarily because of the guy with the horns. I like the way they turned out. As far as I can remember none of these characters have any histories.
Cauldron Sociology
I keep most of my story notes in my head. That’s really not the safest place. My brain feels the need to remember useless things (some embarrassing thing I did in third grade, the names of movie stars, what I had for lunch last Thursday) along with everything else.
Occasionally I feel the need to write down story details and ideas and we get pages like this.
