Evil creatures
Below are two comissions I made recently. The theme chosen was Evil creatures. I love drawing monsters and I had a blast coming up with them.
This piece was based on Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht". Nosferatu is a very interesting creature since he can love and desire something but they never die. They become old and decrepit but they live for eternity. In a way that is a terrible way to leave and even though Nosferatu is an evil creature you can actually feel for him. The painting below is based on the moment when Nosferatu attacked Johnatan Harker.

I love witches too and for some reason it's always fun to draw witches that are hungry for little children. There's something very whimsical and charming about old lady witches and you can't help it but root for their success in their recipes.

Like my friend said. We all love the storytelling! Aaaaand the illustrations.
Somehow you apply something to your drawings that give that leo matsuda look!
Congrats buddy!

It's skin-crawlingly frightening to have a witch attempt to fish me from my living room in the midst of video gaming. But I would root for her because those children will have to be clever to escape and would be the challange of their lives. Good stuff!
