31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 29 Bloody Bones

Bloody Bones is one of those creatures that parents tell children to keep them from being bad. He is said to live near a pond or in a dark cupboard under the stairs. It is said that if you peeked into the cupboard you would see him sitting on a large pile of bloody bones that he had collected from children who had lied or said bad words. Bloody Bones has blood running down his face and appears as a horrible monster. He has other names as well Rawhead, Tommy Rawhead or Hobgoblin.

This drawing was done in an 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore (400 Series) 60 lb. paper sketchbook with Sharpie Marker and Copic Markers with background color and touchups done in Adobe Photoshop.

You better be good little boys and girls,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 16 Vampire

Vampire . . . yeah we all know about those blood suckers from the movies and True Blood but sometimes vampires appear as cartoon characters and I figured I'd make up one . . . I present you Brad Vlad and his friend Louis Ville Bat.

This was drawn on part of a page of 11" x 17" Bristol Board with Sharpie Marker and colored using Adobe Photoshop.

BLAH I VANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOOD,

Vampire

It's getting to the time of year when Vampires come out most often I thought I'd take a stake to one . . . yeah that was a bad joke but I'm sure you giggled a tiny bit on the inside.

This is a sketch done with just pencil and copic markers I wanted to try to do without the black edges on everything and see how it would look. I really like the look of it and I should be doing more drawings like this in the future.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,
Kevin P. Johnson

Punk Rock Zombie

Two days in a row!

This is a little zombie I did at work. He's wearing his leather jacket and CBGB t-shirt. I played around with the Adobe Photoshop "Burn" tool again and am not quite sure that I like the results. I'm experimenting but I think I went a bit too far with it this time. I am recoloring this one in my traditional way and will have that one posted for later today you to see as well.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 28 - Vampires

Rule #1 Vampires can not walk in the sunlight
Rule #2 Vampires do not sparkle
Rule #3 Anyone who believes Rule #1 and 2 are false should be staked

Vampires, these are the blood suckers of the undead that live in darkness and are smooth stealthy killers. Now the basic rules for vampires are the can not walk in the sunlight or they will burn into dust, they must sleep underground or in a casket during the daylight hours, they must feed on human blood (they can turn a human into a vampire or allow them to live through the process without killing them if they please), they can not enter a home without being invited, they can glamour a person, holy water and crosses and silver are usually items that will burn them, and they move at a rapid pace and sometimes they can fly. Sometimes they vary in what their powers are but if it walks in sunlight it's not a vampire. Stakes through the heart kill them as well.

Now not long ago I had the argument of weather vampires are evil or not? I said that they indeed are and this is how I argue that point. Now being undead in itself has been related to evil and devils but not enough of an answer but not what I'd call solid enough to defeat the point of "well they are just trying to survive and they need blood to do that." Vampires know that they need blood and they know that they do not need to kill to get it or even turn the human into a vampire unwillingly. Vampires will out of rage or blood lust slaughter an innocent living human to save it's own life, I see that as evil . . . and a bit bad ass. Vampires were once fully human and the laws of good and evil apply to their existence as well.

There are tons of movies, books, comic books, and TV shows about vampires. I suggest starting with Buffy The Vampire Slayer, True Blood, The Lost Boys, 30 Days of Night and check out the first vampire movie Nosferatu its a silent film from 1922 but creepy and crazy.

In my drawing I based my vampire on the original film character Count Orlok or Nosferatu as he is one of the most recognizable characters in Vampire lore. The colors are Copic Markers.

Nibble, Nibble,

P.S. Do not watch any Twilight movie . . . ever.
