SKETCHBOOK: Monsters from the vault
🕑 Added 2023-10-26 15:49:33 +0000 UTCI love drawing monsters. It started with making my own Pokemon, then I went through a dragon phase, a couple dinosaur phases, and then a big body horror phase in the past four years. I have to admit, it's hard to keep up because I find myself repeating shapes and once a subject becomes familiar I become anxious to learn something new. Ironically I think that keeps me from growing in many ways, but my drawing habits have changed so much since 2018 when I began showrunning I have to cut myself some slack. It's nice, though, looking back on these and knowing I was having fun.

Yo! I love these, they're horrifying. Also I actually met ya at the Honolulu Comic Con! I was the dude with an owlbert shirt who talked about how your art (the creepy stuff mostly) inspires monsters in my dnd game. These are no exception, I love the horror/eldritch vibes of this kinda stuff.
Mikeyyy
woah!! this is so cool

Ooo, what are your thoughts on Netflix’s night creatures from Castlevaina??
Sepublic
I dig your recurring motif of striped horns, tusks, tongues, etc.!

Try not to be too rough on yourself with repeating shapes and such in monster designs. The reason it's so hard to craft original monster designs is because of how limited the scope of human understanding and imagination is. The reason so many fictional beasts have tentacles, from slime creatures to Lovecraftian Old Ones, is because of how alien we find those attributes, but then they're repeated so much as to become cliché.

Monsters seem like a nightmare to draw, how do you even like lay out a sketch for them!??!?!?!

Big maw. Om nom nom

Incredible. These designs do evoke a horror beyond the earthly plane vibe.

I adore the second monster, I just know you could befriend that guy if you tossed a cartoonishly large steak in its mouth
Psychtaku
These aren't so cool! Love how ya draw the teeth and wrinkles! The second one could look like something from Beetle Juice cuz of the stripes and the mouth reminds me of the wife reshaping her form.
Miy Eterp
Wow legit stuff. XD
Toscano
The proportions on the second one are extremely exaggerated and I love it. I really would love to see a horror/TV-MA rated animated show from you. I truly feel like you'd shine in a project like that with no, or almost, no limits to how messed up one could go with anything both visually and story wise.

Unfortunately I can't legally kickstart anything with Owl House. :') Besides I'm moving onto other stories for now!
Dana T
Yep! Always wanted an excuse to draw more.

Is this love of monsters the reason demons are in the boiling isles?
Liam Gradwell
Wow. These monster designs are honestly Studio Ghibli level amazing.
Jurnee Jakes
Beautiful! I still hope to one day see a kickstarter or something for an Owl House Encyclopedia. Kinda like all those Star Wars ones out there that goes into little bits of lore for the critters and characters. It’s good to have dreams…

I remember imagining my ow Pokémon when I was a kid. Out of curiosity, what did you name your Pokémon?
The Akimbo Knight
If ever comes the day we get another bloodborne or bloodborne type game they must hire you 🤯
