JBergen1910

This one I'm going to want to colourize some time soon!  I had to do just one scary-ish one and I liked my bogey design enough to give this a try.

It's a mermaid!  I had to draw at least one in ink.

It's a Deathbird!! 

This is a remake of something I drew in my mid-twenties (probably my favorite personal work in that entire decade)!

These little guys popped up in many scenes (often in backgrounds) of a illustrated book series I was working on called "Before 1910" (A series that I had not officially stopped working on, I just lost the inspiration to make it before I started "Knightosaurus").

The original inspiration to its design came about when my older brother and I noticed the most eerie sounding monotone bird song in the mornings before we went to work.  We never learned what bird made that sound but we now agree that it must have been a deathbird!

A pumpkin, the moon, and a Moth-Fairy.  It just suits this time of the year.  If I colour any one of the ink works I've done so far it will likely be this one!  

This is my first ever attempt at Inktober!  I have not done any pen & ink works since my early thirties and, so, I feel a little rusty!  I second guess almost every line and, therefore,  my pen can't flow like it used to....

Of course my first would feature my two central characters from Knightosaurus, Charm and Strohm.  I hope its good enough to share because there's more to come over the next few days.  For I am without my art computer and I have a lot of pens....
