Trying to escape reality. Gimme tea, rainy days, Autumn vibes, and fountain pen ink. Sleepy, gay ace, he/him.

Omg I just realized I wrote “Tales of the Crypt” instead of “Tales from the Crypt” - either big brain fart or unnoticed typo! Doh!

Clearly you didn't say "when"

#Fantasmicalloween Day 17: Keeper of Ghost Stories

It’s the Crypt Keeper from ‘Tales of the Crypt’ with a new story, just for us. Got a bit experimental with the red colour. Who am I kidding, all of these are experimental. Should have just kept it to one good swipe of red, though.

It's a messy drawing of the Crypt Keeper from ’Tales from the Crypt’. He’s holding a meat clever. Some swipes of red colour cross parts of the page.

Inks used: Writer’s Blood from Diamine

#Fantasmicalloween Day 16: Skeleton Skallywag

I think this undead skeleton pirate is having the time of their afterlife. I can’t do as many of these as I originally wanted to, so I’ll pick and choose the ones I like best on the days I can do them, this is technically from yesterday.

A messy ink drawing of a skeleton at the wheel of a ship, bottle of rum empty, but he looks like he’s having fun, I think. The background is painted in a sparkly red ink.

Mine would be "I can't wait for it to be Summer again"

Great swatches! I like Kokoro Guma too, especially the subtle sheen it has (on good paper)

Caligari @caligari.bsky.social · 1d

Yes! I love this one!

The fact I tried a similar idea makes me love this all the more. And that mask idea is so left field and fun

#Fantasmicalloween Day 13: Phantom of the Opera

This was a wild card day with a few options, I chose Phantom of the Opera and specifically used reference from Monster Unleashed at Universal Studios. I might be running out of steam a little. Feeling a bit discouraged with my art skill.

Fantasmicalloween Day 12: The Encounter.

A girl holding a trick or treating pail walks through a graveyard to a smiling scarecrow staked among the tall grass. Leaves flutter through the orange moon night sky. A crow with a bright eye is perched on the scarecrow's crossbar.
