The FancySchmancy Creature Feature: Jack-o-Lanterns

A digital illustration of about a dozen jack-o-lanterns with a variety of contorted facial expressions.

Another Halloween has come and gone, and if you thought I wasn’t going to draw a ridiculous amount of jack-o-lanterns this year—well, then you’re off your gourd.

Skellyfish

This October’s drawing obsession: drawing skeletons for things that don’t actually have them. I think it’s inspired by wandering through a Spirit Halloween one year and seeing a plastic figuring of an octopus skeleton. If you have non-skeletal skeletons you’d like drawn, just leave them in the comments or join me for the FancySchmancy Creature Feature.

Skeleton Tavern Keeper

This month I’m drawing spooky, scary skeletons for the FancySchmancy Creature. This is the first, a skeleton tavern keeper requested by my Twitch mod Harukio. From here on out, I think we’re going to draw the skeletons of things that don’t usually have skeletons. It reminds me of seeing an octopus skeleton figure at a Spirit Halloween: biologically unfeasible, but seasonally awesome. More to come!
