Hey again! Here's a little insider treat for anyone interested in my process. Here we see a complete page from my sketchbook. This is pretty typical of how I draw. I fill the page, no particular forethought to placement, I just throw things down as they occur to me. I was having a particularly good creative day when I started this. It's so much fun getting back into monsters. Actually, the guy in the top right corner of the page is the first seed of a painting I'd like to work on. I need to develop the composition a little more, of course, think a little harder about backgrounds, but something appealed to me about this horrible demonic beast appearing weak and babyish. His physique, for the most part, is meant to be like a baby: kind of soft and pudgy, save for the claw-like legs. Those are just for good measure.
As I've stated before (at least I'm pretty sure I have) whenever I feel deprived of inspiration, I return to my old creative safety net: demons. The fact there are so few rules as to what they look like, but strong established rules about what they're all about, gives me a great deal of freedom.
