In need of a last minute subject, I turned to my crony Charles, who suggested a mummy:
This sketch continues the informal series I started last Halloween (comprising of this and this, so far).
Monsters
Domo Arigato Mr. Mugato

No flashback for this Friday, as promised! Instead, you get the Mugato from the original Star Trek series–the version on the left is based on the creature’s original appearance, and the version on the right is based on the inexplicably innacurate vintage action figure produced by Mego:

I like to think of the clothed version as what the Mugato species would look like after evolving increased intelligence and developing culture and tools. Maybe in another couple of thousand years, the Mugato will evolve a better sense of fashion. Ha!
*Sound of nerd being mauled by highly-evolved Mugato*
Sky Blue Toga? Really?

I must be brief–I have to use my skillz to pay the billz. Actually it doesn’t take skillz, just basic arithmetic and a paycheck. But I digress. Calibos from Clash of the Titans:

I’m surprisingly pleased with how this one turned out. It sure ain’t perfect, but overall, I think it ‘works.’ I purposely made the shading on this one more ‘contrast-y’ for a slightly more dramatic look. Incidentally, I don’t watch sports (at all) and he’s not supposed to resemble anybody or be from any particular team.
GRAAR… BRAINS… REBOUND! GRAAARRRRR!!!
Feet of Clay
Charles gave me another speed challenge, this time a golem. Drawn in 5 minutes, inked in 5 + 3 minutes (I asked for an extension), and colored and typeset in about an hour. Yeah, I’m a slow colorist. ._.
Anywaaays, you should check out Charles’ blog–he was going to have some Golem-related videos posted sometime today.
BONUS POST: ‘Tis The Season
I had absolutely no plans for a Halloween post, but Charles first insisted (which had no effect), and then challenged me. I don’t usually take the bait in such scenarios, but I also happen to be a fan of one Frankenstein’s Monster, and thus today’s l’il treat:
Timing me over IM, Charles challenged me to draw Frankenstein’s Monster in 5 minutes, and ink it in another 5. The plan was to color it in another 5, but I didn’t run into him again on IM, so I just went as fast as I could. It took me about 40 minutes to color and typeset this, because apparently, I am a sloth on downers. Oh well, under an hour is still pretty fast… for me.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, CHARLIE BROWN!
