Halloween Draw off: The Fog

| Peter Ahola

Down now to our second to last illustration of this year’s Halloween draw off, it’s the Fog. The Fog has always been one of my favorite horror movies of all, it’s my favorite John Carpenter film and within my top ten of most rewatched movies. I’m actually very happy that in recent years it’s started to get more attention and grow in fandom.

That being said, I’ve wanted to draw the Fog and it’s “inhabitants” in the draw off for years. I’ve just held back because I haven’t really known how to make it visual interesting. THIS right here is my idea of the Fog, shadowed ghosts with virtually nothing but the glowing red eyes. The less detail you see on them the better, it just makes them scarier. So how do you make “shadowed” creatures visually interesting. Hopefully this will do the job.

Stay tuned, our draw off FINALE is coming right up.

Halloween Draw Off: Zombie Kalwa

| Peter Ahola

We now come to the Kalwa piece of this years Halloween draw off. Our three protagonists have been zombified. I think it was last year I drew headshots of them as zombies and posted it to the Kalwa website, except they had pupils and were a little more lively. These designs were more inspired by the zombies from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, as they looked much scarier. And for this draw off I’m not looking to do anything cute, I want scary all the way.

Check out more of Kalwa on her own website, link can found up above on our main menu.

More Halloween art to come.

Halloween Draw off: BlackOut

| Peter Ahola

Next up on the draw off is Blackout, from Marvel’s Ghost Rider comics. This nasty murderer debuted in second issue of the Ghost Rider series from the 90’s and went on to become one of the series most recurring villains. Blackout was the one who murdered this sister of the Ghost Rider’s human host Daniel Ketch and even wound up killing Daniel himself, making him possibly the most personal villain for the rider to face. He’s sadly a very unknown character in the Marvel universe and I try my best to give him more exposure when the situation calls for it.

Halloween Draw Off: Constance Hatchaway

| Peter Ahola

Down to the final week of October already and there’s still plenty of drawings to get up, so this is gonna kinda be a rapid fire week in order to get everything up. Up today, is Constance Hatchaway from the Haunted Mansion. Yes I’m giving the Hatbox Ghost a break this year, I just had so much fun drawing Constance here for the Owl House Crossover that I had to do a solo of her.

More Halloween art coming up.

Halloween Draw off: Puppetmaster

| Peter Ahola

Puppetmaster returns to the Halloween draw off after a long absence. Blade was drawn alone in the first draw off way back in 2015, but this year he’s back with fellow puppets Torch, Pinhead and Six-Shooter. Essentially all my favorites from the bunch from the movies.

More Halloween art coming all month long.

Halloween Draw Off: Owl House/ HaUnted Mansion Crossover

| Peter Ahola

This year’s Halloween draw off continues with a crossover between two of my Disney passions. The first piece featuring Madame Leota is the draw off piece for the month, the one below was drawn back in July when the most recent movie came out. Since it wasn’t uploaded to the site then, you’re getting two here for the price of one.

More Halloween art coming this month.

Halloween Draw Off: Haunted Mask

| Peter Ahola

Our Halloween draw off continues with a blast from the 90s, the Haunted Mask from Goosebumps. This is meant to be a bit of an original take on the monster with not only it getting stuck to dear old Carly’s face, but actually merging with her whole body. Her skin’s mutating green and her hair is starting to sprout from the mask itself, so it’s not just getting stuck, but really becoming her new face.

More Halloween art all month long.

Halloween Draw Off: Vincent PRice

| Peter Ahola

The Halloween draw off continues with one of the greatest horror actors (and actors in general) Vincent Price. Yes, the charming and lovable man is making he way into this year’s Halloween Draw Off, reading up the works of Poe. This is one of TWO iconic actors who will be featured in this years’s draw off, can you guess the other.

More Halloween art is coming ALL MONTH LONG, stick around for more.
