This month Zoe and I worked together to create the first cover for a comic we’ve been working on over the past year! We’ve both really excited to release this and we hope y'all like it! Zoe drew the cover art and colored it. I did the title art and lighting. Keep any eye out for Spookwood in early 2016!
My favorite spooky story since I was a kid has been a little folk tale I know as Where’s My Big Toe. It exists with a number of variations and names, but the basic gist is that someone goes digging for potatoes and digs up one particularly large, meaty potato that...well--it turns out to not be a potato. Telling it in my own words after the break.
--Kenton
One night, a poor family, having nothing to eat, sent their youngest son out to forage for potatoes. After spending some time in the cold finding only a few small potatoes, he stumbled upon the largest, meatiest potato he’d ever seen. Digging it up took more effort than for most potatoes, but the boy was persistent, knowing the huge potato would feed his family for a week.
The boy’s family had been worried about him taking so long to gather potatoes, but were ecstatic when they saw him coming towards their home carrying such a large, hairy potato. They cooked up a potato soup in their biggest pot and went to bed with full stomachs for the first time in weeks.
In the middle of the night, the boy was awakened by a deep, moaning voice. “WHERE’S MY BIG TOE?” Disoriented by the sudden sound, he waited a moment to see if he was only dreaming. But the voice came again, “WHERE’S MY BIG TOE?” The boy climbed out of bed and walked through the house, where he heard the voice call a third time “WHERE’S MY BIIIIG TOOOOOOOE?”
Seeing a large, shadowy form in the dark behind the house, the boy opened the back door and called out “I don’t know where your big toe is, but there’s plenty of this potato soup!”
The boy and his family never ate potato soup ever again.
This month, Lena (@flamingolines) and I decided to do a collaboration! I picked a story, Black Eye , and did a sketch, then Lena drew the lines, then I finished it off.
It looks different to my regular work, but I like it!
For this months theme, I chose to do Bloody Mary, a ghost story most people who grew up in North America are probably familiar with. If you don’t quite remember the details, here’s a refresher: Bloody Mary was a witch who lived in the woods on the edge of a town where all the little girls had begun to disappear. The townspeople suspected Mary, and when they went to investigate, they found that she looked inexplicably younger and healthier, but there was no evidence of the girls. Finally, they caught a girl wandering into the woods in the middle of the night, seemingly hypnotized, and followed her all the way to Mary’s cabin. It turned out she had been summoning them all along, and drinking their blood to stay youthful. They found all the girls bodies buried behind the cabin, and the angry mob of townspeople burned Bloody Mary at the stake. Before she died she proclaimed a curse that whoever was foolish enough to say her name three times before a mirror would release her vengeful wrath.
