Creature Feature: Dermot the Bwog

Meet Dermot the Bwog, the latest entry in the FancySchmancy Creature Feature. Not to be confused with any felt-based amphibious puppets. Dermot lives in a sewage treatment plan. He plays the ukelele. His appendages are made of hands from discarded lab cadavers. Dermot likes to sit at the foot of your bed and wait for you to fall asleep, so he can intersperse his mucous-covered fingers between your toes.

The FancySchmancy Creature Feature: Jack-o-Lanterns

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.

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!

Cuphead Noir

It’s been a hot minute since I sat down and did an intense illustration like this. “Cuphead Noir” was originally drawn in the run-up to TwitchCon ’19, where I shared a booth in artist alley with my friend Ashley Villers. Of any video game fan art I’ve done, I think this is my favorite. I like how the composition and color scheme turned out, not to mention Cuphead is one of those games I could easily play once a year and get just as much satisfaction out of it as the first time.
