Number 24. Sea Monster.

Number 24. Sea monster. 

I told you about the yokai, right? How I could do a Japanese monster every single day and be moderately pleased with it? I told you. Don’t say I didn’t.

This is Umibozu, a dark and towering figure that appears in the ocean and then terrible things happen. This yokai is very famous, but here’s the wiki link anyways. 

Brown paper and ink, with a new red ink that I don’t like as much because it bleeds like the dickens.

Day 18, drawn on the day and posted the next because I am feeling awful and I didn’t get it done before Stupid o’Clock. Today’s prompt was Inuit. This is a Greenland tupilaq. Here is the wiki article on it. 

I wanted to do this one kind of from the very beginning, partly because my sketchbook is full of stupid and angry looking little tupilaq characters designed to look more like the traditional carvings than a shamble of hair and bone and sinew. 

It’s all ink wash with some fountain pen. All of it. 

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

Took a break from monsters to draw a mo' different monster. Really, I wanted to draw Schtein from mistahgrundy's String Theory comic and abuse the heck out of some paper with some ink, because those are two things I like. 

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.)

The eighth one. Today’s prompt was dullahan/headless horseman. I am not feeling particularly revolutionary with this one, but I am working on my brush painting, so there you go. I think this is just the standard Headless Horseman, out to ruin the evenings of camping teenagers and hikers out after sunset.

Brown paper. Ink. That’s how we’re rolling lately.
