I was just laughing myself silly because accidentally I read "There comes an age when one old monster is worth six new fRiends......" - so much wicked wisdom, I thought. Now that I am corrected I am just scared... (Love it!)
He's a rather gruesome sort, isn't he! He is especially terrifying, because it there is a feeling of transformation; a feeling that perhaps he was once a simple mortal... I love the roughness of this, as if it's been painted as a fresco, and I love the limited palette. It makes the pin dots of the eyes and the points of the teeth stand out. He's so horrible - I think we should fix hm up with Ms. Medusa:>
Of all the monsters I've seen lately, this is certainly the scariest. It is as though you have tapped into my brain, plucked out all of my fears, and translated them onto a page.
YOU ARE THE BEST! You NEVER fail to amaze me with your gifts.
He-he… The monster you know… even in bad need of dental work. I hear you. Avoiding making new friends? Don’t worry, we are already under your bed! Glad to see you back, though I am not the girl I use to be. Cheers!
I like that caption. What a great illustration! Scary, and yet I could also picture him picking up a cup of tea and taking a sip. There, though, that may be the influence of your words more so than the picture itself. *G*
Ray Dillon Thanks Ray!!! It is charcoal and brush and a bit of pastel ...and the secret ingredient is.... housepaint!!!:)))
Tammy Hanna And they said I couldn't do scarey monsters...only cute ones!!! HA!
Mehlika, Thanks...it's nice to be back!
Cristosova The old saying is: THERE COMES AN AGE WHEN ONE OLD ENEMY IS WORTH SIX NEW FRIENDS (and it is true, nothing against the new friends at all ...it is just that an old enemy and you have such a history together... you get so you love em and respect them for hanging in there so long) :))))))
Ursa, Thank you Ursa:)
Carla, I hear they have been dating behind our backs... If they had little monsters, would they have snakes or horns on their little pointy heads?!?
TXArtcGal Nightmares! Great!!!......no I love it, sorry, my sons will have to admit that I can keep up with them in the "monster" department now!!!:))))
Cate I scare myself sometimes:))) No telling what is lurking around in my brain!
Fuzhen The world is filled with them, some far worse than this poor old beastie. Thanks for your comment!
Albina Ah, some of you friends are welcome under my bed anytime:))) (you need to be really short to fit though, as it (the bed) sits on the floor... and I'm not in it very often, but you are welcome to have a tea party there if you wish:) just don't leave me the washing up to do. No time to say hello goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.......
Lou You are more than welcome, thanks so much for your visit and comment!
Merlinprincesse Thank you my dear, I admit, once I started the monster-quest, it was hard not to keep doing them, they are so...liberating.
Jess Or your garage around two in the morning huh? hehehe!

Bubblegum Thanks!!!
AscenderRisesAbove Charcoal, and just a hint of pastel. It is bigger than what I have scanned here(this is just the top half),it won't fit on the scanner as painted.
Tony It needs a name...any ideas???
ValGalArt Thank you! I did have too much fun doing this... does it make me a bad person? Probably!!! :))))
Jaimie Well the subject was monsters... so I went for the whole enchilada... made it as scary as I could. I've seen scarier, but I think this is about as far as I can go down that path, coward that I am.
Juliemc Thank you... lovely is fine...just not "Cute"... not this time!
Christine Lim Simpson Thank you:) I'll never STAY away... I love this group too much.
Catnapping, I think he works at Walmart:)))
Cream Thank you Cream! I think he's tired of working at Walmart and wants to work for you as a waiter... any chance? hehe!
Aravis Oh yes, he does like his tea ever so much.*giggle* Earl Grey, I believe... or was it green tea for his nerves?
Holly Thank you Holly:)

Chuang Shyue Chou Thank you... it has taken me the longest time to learn "scary".
Alina Chau Thank you Alina!I just slammed him out and he growled at me and tried to bite a bit... I had to smack him back on the drawing board, but he liked it:( THE MONSTER!!!! :))))
But you render 'scary' very well. It is hard conveying emotions of various types. At least, I find it difficult. The subtle nuances that we identity without effort on faces, things....
Oooo! Awesome! Love the rough brush (or is that charcoal?) and texture.
