31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 6 Skunk Ape

The Skunk Ape is a nasty stinky creature found in the southern United States mostly in Florida. It is a Big Foot type creature that gets its name from its horrible smell and ape-like appearance. I'd never heard of this one before but he has probably got my favorite name of any of the creatures I've looked up so far. I will probably do another drawing of him as a full body when I'm over this sickness I've had all week.

In my drawing I've chosen to give him the white stripe like a skunk would have because that just seemed like the right thing for a guy called the Skunk Ape.

This drawing is done with Copic Markers and Sharpie with Adobe Photoshop after on 8.5" x 11" Bristol Board

More information and photos of the Skunk Ape I also found these two humorous videos below on a sighting of the Skunk Ape. The second video's quality is pretty bad but that makes sense being that it seems all encounters with these types of creatures never have good quality video or photography.

Watch out for the stinky Skunk Ape,

Foot Face

This one is just a silly little doodle that turned into something. The FOOT FACE monster is of the most horrible creatures to ever roam the world . . . not because of it's danger to humans or the world but because of it's terrible smell. The Foot Face has the worst case of "Funk Foot" ever and that smell has been known to cause people to pass out and slap their mama's but this smell is nothing compared to it's breath . . . we don't want to talk about it's breath. The worst part about this creature is that it can fly and likes to spend it's time flying under peoples noses.

This drawing was done with Copic Markers.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,
Kevin P. Johnson

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,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 2 The Honey Island Swamp Monster

The Honey Island Swamp Monster a creature that resembles the famous Big Foot is found in southeast Louisiana's St. Tammany Parish along the Pearl River near Slidell. The monster is locally famous and has had some national attention and I can remember being afraid he was real as a young child when there were reports of Harlan Ford's video evidence of the monster. The Honey Island Swamp monster has a few alternate versions where some believe he is more like an alligator because of a story where a train crashed in the early 1900's allowing several chimpanzee's to escape and somehow cross bread with an alligator. I tend to stick with the hairy version with clawed hands and webbed feet. The interesting thing about this creature is that he is said to have a terrible stench that can only be described as being like the smell of death. His eyes are said to be red or yellow depending on which story you'd like to believe.

In my drawing I went with the version that I know and made the eyes both red and yellow. I am not 100% happy with this drawing the head did not come out as I wanted it to (I may redraw him later) but I think that the look is about right for what I imagined as a child. The colors are a combination of Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.
