Scary Face in the Window Trick

This trick has scared a few of my neighbors & it is super easy. All you need is a cheap plastic face from the craft store, some paint and some fishing line. Paint the very blank white face with some features, hang it in a high dark window and watch people freak.  

Might be a bit of an improvement. 

Legend of the Windigo

I have been working on a project with my girlfriend  and I have some other surprises coming over the next couple of months to this page as well. The project we have just finished was a documentary about a Native American myth, the Windigo, or Wetigo, Wendigo....Not sure. It is different for different cultures. The monster comes into being when someone cannibalizes his companions and becomes possessed by an evil spirit as a kind of divine punishment. A particularly sick individual might even invite the evil spirit in without the act of cannibalism.

The creature can move at blinding speed, is endlessly hungry, has a heart made of ice, and antlers...maybe. Due to the numerous cultures that make reference to the creature it is hard to pin down one look for it. Some accounts describe it as a large furry creature and others as an emaciated and starved corpse like thing, some also say it is frozen and or made of ice and snow. 

One of my interpretations.

The creature has been the inspiration and subject of many TV shows, films, and even super villains. Marvel comics has a big Wendigo that often fights the Hulk and Wolverine. 

Not my work. 

The Wendigo has also been sighted on shows like Supernatural (Season 1), Charmed, and Sleepy Hollow. Movies use the legend often as well. Stephen King's Pet Sematary, and Ravenous. Ravenous is an amazing film. FYI 

Werewolf of London 1935

I know not many will agree with me on this, but I like the Henry Hull werewolf better than the Wolf Man. There I said it. It feels good to get that off my chest. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wolf Man! Hull's werewolf to me is a slightly better design and the story is more complex. I also love Hull's acting in the film. I created this image yesterday and despite my love for the film it is my first illustration of the Werewolf of London....His hair is perfect. 

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

I created this illustration yesterday. It is no secret that i love monsters, and the Creature is in my top ten easy. I have a sea monster themed bathroom and it is mostly the Creature. Only a few others occupy the space so far, but I have plans to add a shelf and that may result in a few more aquatic horrors. The Gill man was designed by Millicent Patrick and is arguably one of the most influential monster designs in cinema. I think the only design more commonly mimicked is the Geiger Alien (xenomorph) design.

This is my favorite of my colectable figures. I don't wanna brag, but it is huge.

Sculpture of the God Cthulhu

I created this guy for an art show last year and have sold it to my room mate who loves all things horror. He is also my cousin and i being the older one, might be the one who taught him to enjoy the dark side. I have very little sculpture experience and zero training. I plan to rectify that very soon. This primitive creation of mine is about five pounds and around nine inches tall.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Plant Monsters part III

The Slobbering Pine, aka Drosophyllum is a genus of carnivorous plants containing the single species Drosophyllum lusitanicum. This sticky plant lures its prey with the sweet smelling digestive adhesive that captures and dissolves prey. This monster just makes itself. If such a creature were very large and lumbering around looking for humans to snag I think it would make a wonderful creature for games and fantastic tales.

 

Plant Monsters II

A thiseling, this monster is one of my own design and is a real prick. lol

This creature is my idea of a Triffid. Triffids are alien plant monsters from an old sci-fi film I watched as a kid. 

FEED ME!

Plant Monsters

I love plants and I love the idea of monster plants of all kinds. Botanical life comes in a wide array of interesting forms and I love to explore what I can make out of them in my creature designs. Here is tonight's project. Venus Hominid.
