Mortasheen - Hi-res Amplifear and concept notes

This monster was a combination of two things: my desire to have more sound-based monsters and my urge to model something after the grideye, a real life deep sea fish with bright yellow pits instead of eyes. I exaggerated these a great deal for this design and added the bony "struts" inside, and I think the result is fairly eerie looking but could have stood to be a bit more detailed, shaded and highlighted; maybe I'll touch this one up soon.

I went through many, MANY ideas for the rest...

Awful Hospital - Hi-res Broken Skull & Concept Notes

One of the first "patients" ever actually designed, the Broken Skull is also one of the few with eyes, since I decided a patient-creature cannot have any body parts that wouldn't normally be connected directly to its main focus.  Both the skull and the brain as well as the eyeballs are all part of this same "broken skull" concept entity, but of course we've also seen an unrelated eyeball being. Somewhere out there are other brain beings as well, and of course probably other skull beings ...

WHEW!

I've never one so much artwork and writing in a single month before, but a lot of it is for stuff you can't see yet! Thanks for being patient as I made a lot of new kinds of content this past month, but at the cost of some of my more usual content. For the next couple months I'll be going back to Awful Hospital, Mortasheen, and Patreon requests, which you can put in right here for October and any others I owe you!

Awful Hospital Hi-Res Art and Concept Notes: Anna Sthesia

Appearing on page 919 of Awful Hospital, Anna made her first appearance in the "Doctor Dementist" creepypasta, and a big part of me still prefers both her and Dementist to be wholly unexplained. I was never even sure if I really wanted them to be part of Awful Hospital's canon, but I don't think I could have gotten away with leaving any of the weirdo doctors out. It's challenging, fleshing them out while still trying to keep them bizarre and mysterious.

Anna is the manifestation of the...

Patron Request - Lovecraftian Solstice Monster

Well, the request was also to combine it with old movies, but I wasn't sure how to go about that, so it's just in a fancy suit.

Its skin would look like the surface of the sun.

This was in fact a scrapped character I almost put in the comic's earliest arc but I'm just gonna quietly make him canon again behind the scenes, along with his weirder cousin.....both based on real CPR training dummies.

Sorry for delays!

I didn't expect to spend what is now THREE solid weeks working on our move to a new apartment, in addition to what I've managed to update for Awful Hospital and my Halloween articles. I also have another new job and some really exciting stuff going on, but I'll be doing your requests for this month soon, along with more for September, and I'll be doing an extra load of Mortasheen as well. I'll do my best to get another Mort-a-ween going, and this year, I'm going to try and make it Joker theme...

Mortasheen concept - Poison Perfume Bottle

This is an idea for a semi-gelatinous, semi-siliceous bottle-like monster filled with sweet smelling poison.

I'm also leaning towards making it a joker. I actually have a lot of new joker concepts, but none of them are clown themed; they include things like candy, toys, "cartoon character" monsters and others unified mostly by the fact that they're all "silly" or "funny" things turned into gas-filled monsters. I think the main running theme of the jokers is really that they weaponize "...

Requests for the month!

If I haven't done one of your past sketch requests, it's because it's one of the ones that is still turning out so bad by my standards, I wind up doing it over later! So, new requests as well as alternative requests always welcome! Some of you also get creature review requests for the site!!

Mortasheen hi-res art and concept notes: Braek

The "Boo Men" were actually one of my oldest, pre-Mortasheen concepts, but almost none of the originals survived into their Mortasheen incarnation. They were named after an opening chapter in the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" book series, which in turn was said to be an obscure, older way of saying "Boogieman."

The original idea of the Boo Men, from my long-defunct horror/fantasy/scifi setting, was simply a band of elite monster assassins who each had a different signature killin...

Awful Hospital hi-res art & concept notes: Circula Tori

This art looks so incredibly old and bad to me now! Jeez!

"Tori" first began as a concept for the hospital nurses, who were in turn homages to Silent Hill's "sexy monster nurse" tradition, though I wanted to go slightly weirder than their faceless mannequins and stuff.

When I decided to have biohazard waste bag characters, I decided they worked better as the Hospital nurse staff, and the circulatory system was upgraded to a doctor.

Her tiny peanut brain, spork, and googly ...
