I wasn’t sure if I should put this up yet, but after 2 months worth of sharing a portfolio of new and old work I can’t think of a better time. I’m now open for commissions, feel free to message me if interested, I may be slow on requests but otherwise il get it done as soon as possible ^^

Ingredients I sometimes wonder how far I stretch the line of #spooky to fully on #graphic and gruesome imagery in these, for these smaller strips I think the closest similarity I can draw is something from #talesofthecrypt or #wheremonstersdwell Very #anthology inspired I can tell you that ^^

Dripping I keep trying to make a decent amount of these short #horrorcomics and keep forgetting just how long they take to make; even in one sitting. That being said I do love making these, especially if there’s a #monster twist at the end, plus it’s good practice for short form storytelling

Back again with some more #spooky art, been too much space between each posting and that’s on me. Anyways you can probably tell I have an affinity for #centipedes and I recently just watched #omukade, a fantastic monster movie that Iv been hoping to see, and it did not disappoint.

Wanted to display two things in this scene, a sense of ancient creatures come to life through the fossils on the wall, and the sheer size of the centipede itself. I’d also recommend the 2004 movie simply called centipede, its old but I’d say it’s worth the watch for creature feature fans

ALL ABOARD THE GHOST TRAIN! halloween is nearly upon us and despite my efforts iv only done half the amount of #spookyart i was hoping to, so I wanted to challenge (and maybe punish XP) myself with a group oc draiwng, if anyone would like their oc to ride the #ghosttrain, share a name and ref below

I made multiple backgrounds cause I wasnt sure what looked better, if you want one or the other i dont mind, could just be the train passing into a new room ^^ assuming i get that many people joining in, oh! your oc can also work as an attraciton scaring the passengers fromthe doorways if you like!

I don’t want to spoil anything but what I really liked about the film was that it felt like an honest to goodness horror movie AND it hit the nail on the head for being a true to source resident evil adaption while still having its own story. I leapt out my seat, I covered my eyes, and I loved it

Tried not to give away too much in the picture, but there were so many gruesome details I wanted to draw, it’s not perfect by any means but I had so much fun drawing this, the film sparked a creative fire that I want to fuel as much as I can, expect more #residentevil inspired art to come

The dark This is just messing around with perspective and trying to do a sort of close up shot of something scary loong in the darkness, feels more like a storyboard than a comic but if anything that just gives me confidence in it ^^ Teeth in black voids has become weirdly reoccurring lately

The snake One of my favourite (although I have a few so that’s not saying much) horror films when I was a kid was #anaconda, something about a giant snake just seems terrifying, cut a few years later to the giant snake in #residentevil and the basilisk from fantasy movies, and you get this artwork

At first it was just going to be a regular big snake; but I wanted to try and add a bit of extra horror making it look grotesque and mutated, skulking around a derelict home, I also thought about adding a person shaped lump on its body but inked it before I could do so, I like how it turned out tho

The #scarecrow Scarecrows make for great horror monsters, at first just inanimate effigies to scare birds away from crops, then at night become shambling, straw filled golems that stalk you through the fields and Intill fear Really wanted to lean hard into the scarecrows natural setting

The #nightmare Or possibly an #alp or #paralysisdemon,however you want to refer to it, an impish creature lurking in your room while you sleep has been a fascinating folkore for ages, wit various descriptions though this one is the most common. Perspective might be off, but I like it nonetheless

Bats in the belfry Some #spooky art finally finished, winged creatures of the night emerging from the darkened halls of a shadowy mansion on the hill I like doing these scenes in #traditionalart, makes it feel more like a proper illustration 🎃🦇 And I love a chance to draw a #hauntedhouse

A bit of causal #haunting at tea time, wanted to do some more typically #spooky art and I haven’t drawn #ghosts in ages, at first I was worried colouring them in would ruin the effect but if anything i think it helped them blend in and stand out simultaneously (I think XD) #tradionalart #sketchbook

It got out… Seeing a certain horror film that came out this year has given me a few ideas :3 A #spooky #comic for the #spookyseason You might see a few peices like this, Iv been in a bit of a #biohorror mood, but rest assured there’ll be some variety of scares :3

after trying out (and not always finishing) some of these october drawing challenges, I thought id do something different and make one of my own. its completly optional and just for fun ^^ basically anything goes as long as it involves some kind of monster, be as creative and detailed as you wish!

theres no wrong or right way to go about this, when I made it i was thinking of those gimmicky monsters, e.g from power rangers or villains from miraculous ladybug, monsters of the week as the title says, but really you can do anything you like ^^ kaiju, digimon, movie monsters etc, anything goes!

id love to see what you make, i dont usually do hashtags but if you wanna share your art you could use #monstersoftheday/week or #monsteroftheweek2026 you can do any medium, any type of drawing, sketches, lineart, busts, fullbody, comics, illustrations, anything! if you try it, i hope you like it ^^

These are the #aliens from my recent comic, originally they were a bunch of weird stick figure robots/aliens I used to draw from when I was a kid, and occasionally in school, I just always liked this odd design. I wanted to try drawing them properly a few days ago and this was the result.

Nothing too specific or detailed, just some goofy aliens with a bit of backstory, Im hoping to draw them more in other comics, whether it’s just for one off gags or longer running stories only time will tell. Their fairly friendly but their strange appearance makes people think their spooky XD

Do #aliens still count for #halloween and #spooky comics? I like to think so. Though to be fair the only scary thing in this are the visual puns XD Iv Loved drawing black and white scenes like this, I get to play arohnd with shading and get some good use out of my white ink pen.

Meet the maker, a kind of #horrorhost character I made back in 2024, I was still figuring out a good way to present my art and when Halloween came around I didn’t think I had any recurring spooky characters, so I made the maker as a kind of narrator/framing device for some of my art for #halloween

The maker is a mysterious figure who creates and is often around monsters, ghosts, mutants and creatures of all kinds, he doesn’t have a lore exactly, but from what Iv gathered so far from part comics is he’s the reason my sona illus lives in a spooky castle and may know more about him then he does

I wanted to make tie in art featuring the maker the same way old horror anthologies had little segways to lead into their stories, I think I only ended up doing this in 2024 cause I struggle to get organised with time XP I still practice digital art so the quality may be questionable XP

Another comic get hyped up for #halloween! Ilus and Ophiuchus discuss how to best use thier time , while a mysterious guest enters to quell their fears, as there’s always time to draw, especially in October :3 (I think I fumbled the dialogue but otherwise I like how this turned out ^^)

I’m really happy with the castle in the first panel, drawing buildings and backgrounds is something I worry about but this was one of my better attempts. I think I should have made a script, was trying to say there’s no rush to draw, so long as you draw when you feel comfortable, ah well XP

It’s #spookmonth! #halloween seasons! Scary days ahead! Halloween is one of my favourite, if not my favourite of all, holiday, even in my worst slumps I always get some motivation and inspiration to draw in or coming up to October. So I drew this quick comic to show my uncontainable love for it 😁🎃

A fantastic redrawn ref for a character gifted to me by a friend, and a reminder to actually use the adopted characters I receive XD thank you again 😊

Some old #halloween #comics and art, I don’t exaggerate when I say it’s one of my favourite holidays ^^ both for the more horrific stuff and general soookyness Every Halloween I get motivated to draw more then any other month (except maybe #artfight) so expect a good chunk of horror and spooky art:)

There’s a whole crypt sequence in the game with these sorts of enemies and it was probably one of the scariest parts for me (ok that’s not saying much the whole game was terrifying and I scare east anyway XD) This was a pretty detailed piece and I’m really pleased with how it turned out

I THINK Iv gone through my last few years of old horror art, in the hopes it builds motivation and suspense as I make new stuff, so I wanted to would out with some art inspired by one of my favourite horror games #aloneinthedark Specifically after playing #aloneinthedark2024 which I really liked ^^

Admittedly most of these are really more based on #aloneinthedarkthenewnightmar, especially the second picture which I tried to draw something reminiscent of the game, but the whole series is one I think fondly of as one of my favourite horror inspirations

A quick little comic I did last year as a sort of hype up to Halloween, since Septembers almost over it feels appropriate to put here :3 And a spooky drawing, nothing special just some ghosts, some spooky scenery, and the most use I get out of a black marker on any given day of the year :D

Some of my favourite Halloween ink/linearts from the past two years, ghist trains were my favourite ride as a kid (despite often being scared of them XP) and drawing an actual ghost train just made sense. Then the ghost ship followed as ghosts and the sea go hand in hand.

A redesign of an old creature design. Inspired by various monsters from videogames, horror films and #lovecraftian and #eldritch creatures. The dwell is kind of like a horrific, bloodsucking mutant mollusc from another dimension that uses its slow approach to make victims let their guard down

I started reading #lovecraft stories back in 2014/15 and since then drawing #eldritch monsters has been one of my go to sketches for when I don’t know what to draw, personally it was always the long descriptions of the monsters and phenomena that I enjoyed the most. You never forget reading them ^^

While I enjoy each of lovecrafts stories a few stood out the most to me, specifically #thenightgaunts, #dagon and #thewhispererinthedark. My attempt to draw a mi-go or whisperer may not be accurate but i still enjoy it ^^ and I loved drawing the night gaunt

After that though I wanted the noise eater to have its own story, or at least some spooky comics where it makes an appearance, a lot of its background is unknown but it feeds on sound and leaves an area devoid of noise or audio, creating an almost peaceful, yet haunting silence

Ok moving into the more recent stuff now, last year I drew this black and white illustration of the #jerseydevil and I couldn’t be more pleased with it, I think I read a comic based on it outplaying much of its history and as a cryptid fan it’s been on my drawing list for a while.

Probably some of the works I’m fondest of are ones I decided to go back to after a short while (a year give or take, at least, something still considered a work in progress and not just a sketch XP) and add some tweaks and finishing touches, and I’m surprised at much difference it makes

Around the time I started doing introvert or Halloween drawings in general more frequently, I got really invested in trying to polish these kinds of drawings that use an emphasis on shadows, block shading, hatching lines, going for that classic comic panel/blakc and white illustration look
