31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 28 - Cyclops

I did this guy originally back in 2011 and people liked him so I figured that I'd take another shot at him and I'm kinda loving this . . . I have no idea why he is holding a Jack-O-Lantern but I'm kinda glad he is . . . I think that his thinking about throwing it.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 26 - Slime Monster

I did a Slime Monster back in 2011 which I had forgotten was for the 31 Monsters in 31 Days project. He was more of a cute little character back then where this one is kind of a splatter of slime.

Somehow I got a day behind again . . . 2 monsters tomorrow.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 24 - Stink Slug

The horrendous STINK SLUG! I totally made this guy up and I'm certain someone will say oh it's just poop . . . but it's not or at least it wasn't meant to be just doing a stinky monster.

Tomorrow's update may be tricky because I have two events that will take my entire day and night . . . one of them is art related so I may be able to actually draw the monster but posting will be difficult.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 23 - Shadow People

Hey it's one of those Shadow People that lurks around dark corners and alleyways! This guy is kinda funky I was going to throw him out and do something different but I started looking at him and thought he's kind of funny looking maybe he's not so bad . . . and since I'm playing catch up he's in.

Speaking of catch up I'll have another monster tonight that will be colored digitally as I mentioned in the last post.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 22 - Water Wart

Well I said I didn't want to get behind and then the next day I'm soooo behind. Today I went with a made up monster I'm calling the Water Wart. I don't know exactly what he is but he kinda looks slimy. If you are wondering about the color I had to go digital because my markers are drying up faster than rain in the dessert and I have to keep as many as I can working for an event I have on Saturday. I actually have the monster that should actually be today's drawn but I have to color him too digitally and it won't be until tomorrow when I hopefully have two monsters to post.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 21 - Sea Hag

Well I'm not happy with this at all. It's supposed to be a Sea Hag . . . but I screwed it up in every way and my markers are all drying up too. The only reason I'm posting this is because of time restraints and not wanting to get behind . . . something better tomorrow.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 20 - Loup Garou

The Loup Garou (or Rougarou) is Louisiana's version of the werewolf. Although I've drawn in the moon this guy doesn't need it to turn from human to werewolf or Loup Garou he can do it at will. A person infected with the curse is said to carry it for 101 days until it is passed on to another victim and the Loup Garou returns to his human form.

PS I gave him candy corn teeth on purpose.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 19 - Gowrow

The Gowrow . . . now this is a new one that I had never hear of before. He's some sort of lizard-like wormy creature as far as I can tell. I couldn't find much reference for him since this creature from northwest Arkansas is mostly a forgotten tale that may not have ever really been sighted by person. It is thought by some that the story was made up for the newspaper as no other reports existed on this creature. For more check out this article about the Gowrow here.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 18 - Honey Island Swamp Monster

Another regular in the 31 Monsters in 31 Days project the Honey Island Swamp Monster. I decided to base him on last years version but make him a older and fatter. I like the version from 2013 better but this one is still fun and I can imagine him as a cartoon running around the Honey Island Swamp in Slidell, LA saving us all from swamp villains . . . swamp villains I said!

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 17 - Zombie Girl

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! I had to do another zombie for the 31 Monsters in 31 Days project. This one looked a lot more like a girl before I added the teeth and color but then again it's a zombie it's not supposed to look pretty.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 15 - Bear Lake Monster

All the way from UTAH . . . errrr IDAHO . . . ehhhh nobody knows . . . THE BEAR LAKE MONSTER!!! This guy has been seen since 1868 and there have been many accounts on what he actually looks like . . . I figured that if he's a sea serpent he should be green or blue . . . so green with a couple of blue spots. What's really weird about this guy is that it is said that he has been seen with 18 inch long legs . . . there was no way that I could draw that maddness.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 13 - Alien

I've done aliens before . . . but never inside of a spaceship . . . yep I knew that would blow your mind. This guy is trekking across the universe in search of an awesome burrito and he could be stopping by your house at any time.

P.S. No that's not Saturn behind him it's Nrutas . . . and it's sooooooo bad news to anyone who lands there.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 11 - Plagar from Planet 52

Plagar from Planet 52 . . . I just made this guy up. He kind of reminds me of Roger from American Dad being that he's an alien living on Earth and trying to blend in but it stops there because he totally want's to take over the planet and drag it back with him across the universe to attach to Planet 52 so there can be more space for Pudding Ball.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 10 - Slender Man

Slenderman . . . I’ve drawn this guy a few times in the past the first time he was requested as a commission for someone about three years ago and I couldn’t believe that I had never heard of him before. This guy was originally created by Eric Knudsen back in 2009 as an Internet Meme and he has taken on a life of his own. Knudsen has allowed artist to use his character in the past but does own the rights to him. Slender Man is known for stalking and abducting his victims especially children. He is tall with unnaturally long arms and legs with tentacle or hooked type arms and is often shown with four more tentacle like limbs coming from his back. The Slender Man dresses in a black suit with a red tie and has a white head that has minimal to no features. Wikipedia says that “Proximity to the Slender Man is often said to trigger a “Slender sickness”; a rapid onset of paranoia, nightmares and delusions accompanied by nosebleeds.”

I like this guy he’s kind of creepy and weird and fun. I’d love to see a really well done movie featuring him.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 9 - Medusa

I was asked by my cousin to draw a "pretty Medusa" for this project . . . well I really haven't figured out how to draw "pretty" anything but I did do a new Medusa. The one that I did back in 2011 had scary teeth and her snake tongue sticking out and her skin was green. This time I went with yellow skin and gave her a red dress and a necklace . . . and some buggy alien eyes that when all put together guarantees that she's a little bit more "pretty" than the 2011 version. Yeah well I tried to sell it and if you're buying that explanation I need to talk to you about some ocean front property in Arizona.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 8 - Skeletons

Well who doesn't like big toothed skeletons? I brought back this monster because they are fun to draw and super silly looking. I've posted two versions of this because after the initial coloring I didn't like the background but since I scanned it already why not let you choose which one that you like best. Another technical issue is that the scanner I've been using does not like the light grey markers and everything is a bit "hotter" than it should be. Anyway here are a couple of skeletons wearing t-shirts relating to my old comic book Strange City Heroes.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 7 - Djinn

The Djinn . . . I never knew the name of these guy's until it was requested of me to draw him for the 31 Monsters in 31 Days by a friend, I always just called them the evil genie's. The Djinn have a cool story that I wish I had time to tell about today but since I don't go check out the wikipedia page for them here.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 6 - The Fouke Monster (The Legend of Boggy Creek)

The Fouke Monster is a southern version of the sasquatch or Big Foot that was seen in the early 1970's near Fouke, Arkansas. I remember this guy from the movie The Legend of Boggy Creek and it's many sequels and he is pretty much the same as the other hairy monsters that are found in wooded areas across the United States.The Fouke Monster is known for taking livestock and dogs and has been known to attack humans on several occasions.

I read that he had big red eyes and so I figured that they should be big and red and silly and well that's what we have here.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 5 - The Boogeyman

I was not planning on doing this guy again this year until I took a look at last years version and I really thought that he looked bad. I think this years version is a lot better and his "Jack-O-Lantern" type face is fun. I don't know if this guy is any more scary than last years version but he definitely looks better . . . you still might want to check your closets and under the bed just in case.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 4 - Mothman

Well I wasn't planning on doing this guy again this year but I was asked last night to draw the Mothman and since my old one wasn't very much like most of the drawings that I've seen before I figured I'd do another one. If you look back to my 2011 Mothman post you can get more of what this guy is all about.

Well every year so far certain monster have appeared in this project and this year is no different for the fourth year in a row I give you a ghost . . . ohhhhhhh how scary and horrible he is I can sense your fear and shock as you read this. Yep ghost! I think he actually came out pretty good.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 2 - The Aswang

The Aswang . . . okay I laugh every time I say that name. This guy comes from the Philippines and is supposed to be a ghoulish vampire-like werewolf. They are shapeshifters and daywalkers that like to eat young children. The Aswang also has the ability to create doppelgangers of its victims out of inanimate objects that it sends back to it’s original home and then the doppelganger will die as if it were the real person.

In my brief ten minutes of research on this guy I found that he has been drawn a lot of different ways so I kind of just made up what I thought he might look like.

Look him up on wikipedia this guy is kinda gross and terrible . . . if you are not his neighbor.

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 1 - The Abominable Snowman

I'mmmmmm Baaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkkk! So it's been a year and I really thought about not doing this this year . . . about two days ago I said to myself "I gotta keep it going" so here we go 31 Monsters in 31 Days Year 4.

We are starting off with a revisiting of The Abominable Snowman (last seen in 2011). This version is a much meaner looking creature than the one I did back in 2011. I kinda feel like this guy just got off of work being Abominable and was just in a bad mood which also makes me want to give him a word balloon with him saying "I need a beer."

Anyway see you tomorrow with the next monster.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 31 - Halloween Man

Well I made it through 31 Monsters in 31 Days and it wasn't easy. Didn't have the time or proper motivation this year but I made it. Lastly we get the second monster to appear every year so far my character Halloween Man in his traditional Halloween Day post. Hopefully next year I will get back to a better schedule and be on time with more of the cryptids and mythological creatures we all know and love.

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