Nothing gets me in the Halloween mood like Over the Garden Wall. Lovely art, you did a great job with the lighting! Happy Halloween!

KonanSaurus responds:

Indeed, Happy Halloween!

[Monstober Day 29:Mlux'vhulbh]

Oh man, and I thought Shidhruth was bad enough to be the leader. Mlux'vhulbh is a whole new level of monstrous bastard!
It’s one thing to be a horrific, irredeemable piece of shit, but to find other irredeemable pieces of shit and become their figurehead. Mlux'vhulbh has all the makings of a villain you love to hate. Absolutely incredible work, man! I can’t get enough of your characters, from both a visual design and a writing standpoint. Mlux'vhulbh’s got so many clever details in his design that I could spend hours poring over. The organic armor and tiny mouths on his chest are personal favorites of mine. Is the shape of his head meant to echo the pointed hood of KKK members? If so, that’s a darkly genius touch!

I keep saying it, but I can’t get enough of your monster designs. Keep up the amazing work, my dude! Always love to see it.

BeastKing05 responds:

Thanks as always.
Good eye on his head design. It is indeed echoing the points good of kkk members. His hatred runs that deep.

[Monstober Day 28:Gurr'dhra]

Ooh, we’re finally getting the backstory and lore behind this group. I like that each one is ‘horrific’ in a different way, but all are universally horrible as both men and monsters. Design-wise, I like Gurr'dhra’s sort of organic shoulder pads, complete with what are presumably spikes of bone jutting out. His deformed face and inhuman proportions make him quite grotesque. Fantastic work!

[Spooktober: Alien]

Always love seeing you draw symbiotes, especially Venom! Great work on the lighting in particular, the 90s Spider-Man’s version of Venom always looks cool as hell.

citalopram-overdose responds:

Thanks man!
I appreciate it

[Rem's Costume Idea]

I started scrolling down my feed just as he faded in. It caught me by surprise, I thought I was seeing things!
Incredible work as usual, your harsh shadows and moody lighting really enhance this piece. Awesome work!

[Alpine gugnam]

You’re telling me there’s an entire team? And this isn’t being shown in schools and international television?

[Monstober Day 27:Kthaothlust]

I love the lore we get with each monster! I really like the theme each of these men turned monsters by Cthulhu seem to share, that being that even as men they were monsters. I think I said it in reference to one of the previous monsters, but it’s less like they were twisted into these forms and more like they were fully made into what they were already becoming.

[Monstober Day 26:Shidhruth]

Monstrous indeed! Shidhruth’s transformation into a monster feels strangely fitting, like his appearance finally matches what he is inside. Disturbing and dangerous is accurate, the only truly human feature left being an inhuman grin is a great touch!
Is Shidhruth the leader of the five monsters? Always love learning more about your art and stories!

BeastKing05 responds:

Glad you are digging these monsters.
You'll be surprised to find out that Shidhruth is not the leader of this particular group of monsters.
That one will be revealed soon.

[Monstober Day 25:Traaga]

The inclusion of the ingrown badges on his shoulder and chest are really clever! Between those and the vaguely human hair on his head, you definitely captured the sense of a human being radically mutated into a monster by the eldritch god Cthulhu. I also like the spikes on his feet and back bursting out of his skin!
I’m looking forward to seeing the other four!

[Swingin' and Thinkin']

Whoah, very nice! The primary motion is incredibly smooth and the secondary actions are really impressive. It’s really lifelike, keep up the great work!

aesthetic-derelict responds:

Thank you! Still working on getting everything to look natural, but I'm taking it a day at a time.
