31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 26 - Enfield Monster

The Enfield Monster has been seen only in Enfield, Illinois and is a weird one. This guy is about 5 feet tall, made of some sort of grey mud-like substance with pink eyes and three legs. The creature was reported in 1973 and after a short time was unheard of again. A few reports of close encounters with the monster occurred with no great trauma on the people who witnessed it. It was said to make the sound of a wildcat when it was supposedly shot by a local man. The creature has not been seen since 1973.

In my drawing I decided to go very cartoony due to time restraints. The colors are Copic Markers.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 24 - Wendigo

The Wendigo are a cannibalistic spirit creature that can possess a human. They are from the Native American folklore of the Algonquian people and are said to be powerful supernatural beings. They are in some ways similar to modern day zombies in features. The Wendigo has a dead grey skin, sunken in eyes, skin tight to the bones and dry lips covered in blood and they smell of death . . . very much like a zombie.These guys are associated with the northern parts of North America frequently in Canada. Strangely there are other versions of the Wendigo that have the creature look like a Yeti type creature and if you see Marvel Comics version of the Wendigo it looks nothing like the traditional version and very much like the Yeti.

In my drawing I kept the Wendigo as I thought he might look but I gave him a yellow eye thinking he would look less human. The colors are Copic Markers and Prismacolor Markers.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,
