The Notorious Snog, Child-Devourer



Still finding cool stuff in notepads. This one even came with notes. Here they are:






The Snog is a zombie/gollum, made from the victim of a dark arts sacrifice, that feeds off the souls of rotten children. It stores the broken bodies in a nap sack, slung over it's shoulder.



Usually, the "victim" they use to turn into the Snog is already somebody with a dark soul which makes them more susceptible to the ceremony.



It's usually performed by five dark priests. They abduct their subject and tie them down to a large stone alter meant for such sacrifices. Each limb is tied to a stone pillar and pulled tight. The dark priests will usually drug the person so they are paralized but can still feel everything.



They proceed to shave the head and use the hair to sew the eyes and mouth shut. Then they make a horizontal incision across the abdomen and pull out the organs. These are then placed on a wooden platform hung above the opening made by the incision. The heart is placed in the center and the whole pile is set on fire.



As the embers fall into the body, the dark priests perform a ritual that traps the victims soul in the embers as they fall into the body cavity, wich is now transformed to hold the heat that will animate the body once it's released. Two pieces of obsidian are heated in the fire and then bound with the skin of the Snog. The obsidian becomes the eyes and the horizontal incision becomes the mouth of the Snog.



It is then released into a village or area to collect the souls of bad children.

Another character sketch, Hero



Here's another character sketch. Hero is his name. I like and don't like it at the same time. It's outside my comfort zone as it's a superhero. This whole project is "superhero" which is something I've never done before.



But here he is, with all his faults (in my eyes).

A sketch I found from Harijan



It's fun, the stuff you find when you're cleaning out you're office and sketchpads and things of that sort. Here is a concept sketch I had drawn of the "Girl With No Name" fron Harijan. She's also come to be known as the Barcode Girl.



I still haven't figured out a name for her yet.

Angst, another character sketch



Here's another character sketch for a brilliant writer's project that I'm working on. The character is Angst. He thinks he's the greatest detective in the world.... but he's really not.




Did I mention that the writer is brilliant. (and it's not me.)

Character sketch for Glamazon


Here's a sketch I threw down for a character called Glamazon. Only focused on her looks, hence the increased boobage. I think I'm going to give her blonde hair as well, since that also meets the stereotypical ideal.

Hampster, character sketch


I was informed that hampsters don't have tails. Well, maybe this one mutated. Still playing around with his look. Will probably do a few more versions of him for the writer too see what we like.

This is going to be a fun story and it will mark the first time I've worked on something that I didn't write myself.

Hunter and I


Hunter and I had some quality time together at the mall. We hit up one of those photobooth things. I love teaching my child to be wierd.
