Thanks for looking,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 4 - The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman . . . the shadowy creature that hunts children from under their beds or from inside the closet where it is darkest and most scary for a young child trying to get through the night. The Boogeyman is absolute horror but several known weapons have been used against him with great success . . . flashlights, nightlights and the sleeping in the bed with your parents almost always works against the Boogeyman.

Well this one didn't come out the way I wanted and as I am already behind on this project there is no time to redraw him.

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

Thanks for looking,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 8 Shadow Queen and Shadow People

Another monster returning from last years list is Shadow People but in this case I kind of thought up a story in my head and this is the Shadow Queen the ruthless leader of the Shadow World. Maybe I'll make a comic book about it someday. As for the queen she's the first female Shadow Person that I have drawn giving a gender to what had been a genderless creature as far as my drawings have gone.

In the drawing we just see a bust of the Shadow Queen win a less than happy look on her face (if she actually has a face) because I wanted it to feel like it could be a statue. The drawing is done with Copic Markers and Sharpie with Adobe Photoshop after on 11" x 14" Bristol Boar.

Below is another drawing I did earlier this year of the Shadow People:

This second drawing was done a few months ago but I could not find it and then by total accident it appeared when it was time to work on this post. I added the blue to it for this post but the drawing was finished long before the 31 Monsters in 31 Days project started.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 7 - The Shadow People

Look to the shadows and you may see something that you don't want to see. Shadow People are possibly the only monster that every person with the ability to see may have seen in their lifetime. The Shadow People are often seen from the corner of your eye and move very fast into the shadows when you look directly upon them. They may be ghost or spirits or something else altogether, but they are up to no good and their intent is harm to those in their presence. They are often around in dark places and love it when you are alone they are constantly moving things and making noises when nothing natural could have been the culprit which causes your mind to play tricks on you. The Shadow People want you to fear them they thrive on it some may even wish to remove you from their home by any means even death.These ghost want to make you seem out of your mind to the people around you causing your fear to become intensified and you may even possibly become their weapon against others if they can possess you.

There have been several movies about Shadow People including the Paranormal Activity movie series which does a great job of showing how these creatures work.

In my drawing well I drew the creature st the point of being seen and about to blend in with the shadows what looks like black flame is the shadow person beginning to make its body into full shadow. I have also added blue to help give form to what would only be black shadow . The colors are Copic Markers.
