Get in the Game, Salem Witches

 

I always think about this when I read about the Salem Witch Trials. Compared to earlier accounts of witches and wizards, Salem witches are so... lackluster. At least Scottish witches of the time period claimed to be able to control the weather! C'mon, Salem, you need to work a little harder.

Happy Halloween! 




Protein Pumpkin


 My daughter said she made protein pumpkin muffins. Naturally, this is what came to mind.

When I sent this to her, she said it could be a jacked-o-lantern.

Which resulted in version 2.

The finished paintings! All on display in the front yard just in time for Trick or Treaters.

Work in Progress for Halloween


I had some leftover wood after re-uphostering chairs, and decided to make some Halloween decorations. Here are the creatures just cut out of wood (and placed in a suitable sylvan setting).


 And here they are with some paint on them. Finished work to come soon!

Poor Carl


I was carving a pumpkin, and it occurred to me what pumpkins would think of the whole thing. Didn't stop me from carving a bunch more, but it did bring this to mind.


Happy Halloween!

Inktober Chapter 31: Ripe


Okay, Mr. Judgy Wizard, you’d smell pretty ripe too if you were covered in monster goo!
That brings the Inktober story to an end. Thanks for reading! And thanks to #jakeparker for Inktober and the prompt list.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Inktober Chapter 30: Catch


Fortunately for him, that happened to be the word of the day. Had it been something like "eat," this story would have had quite a different ending.

Inktober Chapter 28: Ride


Worst ride ever. There's no wait time for the line, though, so that's something.

Artist Process, or Georgia Sun


I always start in pencil, then do the final inking via light box. But the Georgia sunlight shone through the closed blinds so strongly that I couldn’t see the light from the box! Fortunately, I had a dark (and holiday-appropriate) blanket to help out.

Inktober Chapter 27: Coat


On the plus side, the surface has a coat of something to cushion his fall.

On the other hand, since he was swallowed by a demon treasure box, he's probably thining more along the lines of "I AM NOW COATED IN MONSTER GOO AAAAGHHHH"

Inktober Chapter 26: Dark



Daughter: “Why are you using a paintbrush for this one instead of a pen?”

Me: “The word for the day is ‘dark.’”

Daughter: “Well, I think you kinda nailed it.”

Inktober Chapter 25: Tasty


His first clue should have been that the big box full of treasure didn't have a lock on it.

Inktober Chapter 24: Dizzy


That kind of money would make anyone dizzy and now he can OH MY GOSH DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON THE GHOST DO YOU THINK FALLING NEXT TO THE TREASURE WAS A COINCIDENCE IT’S A TRAAAAAP

Inktober Chapter 23: Ancient


See? Spiderwebs. Means it's ancient. He can totally trust the nice ghost on this one.

Inktober Chapter 22: Ghost


And now there's a ghost showing him the treasure. But, considering he's been attacked by monsters and had his house burned down by a dragon, I'm going to have to quote Con Air here: "On any other day that might seem strange."
