Extra credit: I probably should have put some of the 70s exploitation films and giallo. Just add anything by Mario Bava on there and some lesbian vampires

I'm not doing any X-tober art challenges this year because I'm tired, but I'm still proud of my output from last October!

Garth Merenghi’s Maggie Vicknair @maggiedreadful.bsky.social · Nov 19

Reposting my zineoween art in an easier to view format. Got up to 19 this year which is probably the best I've done in one of these challenges.

A bouquet of flowers, condolence cards, a framed photo turned face down. The caption reads “Haunt”.

A man stands on the road in front of the body of a woman, illuminated by the headlights of a car. The caption reads “Deer in the Headlights”

A woman wiped her mouth. She’s covered in blood. The caption reads “Bite Down”

A bare foot about to step down on a bunch of icky centipedes. The caption reads “Underfoot”

Follow up from Aria’s point of view.

Aria, a woman in a black severe outfit is looking at her own reflection in a Victorian vanity. There’s technically a vampire between her and the mirror but she can’t be seen. In black and white and grayscale.

Garth Merenghi’s Maggie Vicknair @maggiedreadful.bsky.social · 16d

Every film should have at least one memorable outfit and one memorable musical sequence - if it doesn’t have that, what is even the point of it being a movie.

Marcilla and Aria. She needs extra help doing her hair and makeup without a reflection.

A woman in Victorian undergarments is sitting by a vanity, a woman in dark clothing is standing behind her messing with the first woman’s hair. “Why do you even have a vanity if you don’t have a reflection,” asks the woman in black. “Who ever heard of a woman without vanity?” Responds the vampire.

American publishers want manga success but don’t want to take manga risks.

For all its problems, Tokyopop publishing English language artists writing goth kid stories (I remember you Bizenghast) in a manga-like format was brilliant, pls bring this back.

Lovely weather for it.

A bunny in an 18th Century gown is walking outdoors with an almost demonic looking hound. Text reads: "Ah, I love a stroll across the moors."

Extremely important question: If I got a tattoo of a flumph, would people think it was the flying spaghetti monster?

A photo of a page from the first Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual showing the stat block for Flumph. The black and white drawing of the Flumph depicts it as a jellyfish looking thing with eye stalks that jut out from either side of it's mouth. There is too much text around to type up, you don't need to know it's hit dice armor class do you?

Finally getting back to drawing Horror Hospital School, my very scary, serious comic

A sketch of a panel excerpted from the comic Horror Hospital School. It shows, in chibi form, a man crying and freaking out yelling “Bee help! She’s a demon who’s trying to KILL ME!” Next to him is a sexy woman with cat ears, a tail, and an eye patch menacing him saying “Mraow!”

My friend and I are (hopefully) in the nadir of our 100line playthrough

A stock photo of a cardboard box over some pink flames. The top says BOX HELL in a horror font, and the bottom is an excerpt from the game The Hundred Line that reads “The boxes have bewitched you. If you get them, all it will bring is…calamity”

Beavis and Butthead are in the scene where the girl says "bollocks" in V for Vendetta. Butthead says balls instead.

All the way from 2016, the Death of Jerboa. #fattrewind

Black and White comic with screentones.
An intimidating and sharp mech, built for speed, looms ominously over a robot with a missing arm. The pilot's face is full of angry determination. In the past, the pilot Jerboa is telling him about the mech he's to pilot. They're on a pier, children run by them. "It's heavy is what it is," the brother says, "but don't worry little man you can carry that weight. And hey, you got a good one. Detachment is like a falcon."
Jerboa looks at him.
"Oh, um, a falcon is a bird - a big bird," he clarifies.
In the present, Jerboa pulls out a gun and aims it at the disarmed robot.
"Sharp talons. Incredible speed."

The brother spreads his hands out "A fierce hunger."
The robot isn't as helpless as it looks. He grabs Jerboa and hurls him out of mech, out of Detachment, and into the vastness of space.
"If Detachment is a falcon, then what's Righteousness," asking about his brother's own machine.
"Oh Quentin..." he says, touching his face.
Jerboa floats into the void to his death.
"It's a vulture. It's a fucking vulture."

Unbreakable is SO MUCH weirder than I remember. It feels like everyone involved read an article about superhero comics once in National Geographic.

Rereading my high school copy of V for Vendetta and discovering the note I made to keep track of characters back then.

A problem I have with realistic art styles is that it taps into my real world problem of struggling to tell real people apart.

A yellowing page from V for Vendetta with a crumpled post it note saying “Darek = main police man (young) -> married to Rosemary=dark medium hair
Helen- white hair -> married Conrad=blond”
