Weirdo Is Celebrating And So Am I. Thank You, People Who Have Decided This Blog Is Worth Their Time.

Weirdo is celebrating and so am I. Thank you, people who have decided this blog is worth their time. 

(Weirdo Comics will be returning later this year.)

Hey, I took this picture of this pretty lady!

Taken by one of my very best friends on the trip up to Portland. :D myousa

Day six was zombie. I kind of cheated. This is an older roleplaying character of mine from when I spent every weekend in college playing Scion and World of Darkness.

Her name is Roxy Queen; she is an undead punk rock musician from Houston, Texas, and her dad is the god of death. She was extremely good fun to play back in the day. No one cares if you smoke when you're dead. 

Day 21. The prompt today was Mesoamerican mythology. I ran into a problem with this one; mainly, there seems to be a huge gap in the scholarship about folkloric monsters in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican cultures. Oh, sure, I found lots of gods and the like, but defining gods as monsters seems like dodgy territory to me. If anyone knows of non-divine supernatural creatures or spirits from those cultures, please send them my way, because now I have The Curiosity.

In light of not finding a huge amount of material to work from, I went with the idea that dogs, and specifically the Xoloitzcuintli dog, was believed to be a guide to the underworld. Now, psychopomps aren’t monsters strictly speaking, and the god associated with the dogs, Xolotl, isn’t a monster either, but there you go.

Dry media to mitigate page buckling.

Day 14. The prompt today was "living object". I made a golem. I don't have too much to say at the moment.

Number 23. Monsters return. This one isn't as exciting or as full of research as the previous few. Folklore and mythology's really my dig, and I can and have written huge old papers on the subject. 

The prompt today was vampire. I basically just wanted to make a lady vampire that wasn't turned into an objectified sexpot, and who was also kind of like a boyish ladykiller. There you go. Chapstick lesbian Dracula.
