The Names of My Imps Are.. by Loneanimator

A bunch of a witch's familiars, according to notorious witch hunter Matthew Hopkins.

Ah, Matthew Hopkins - a man overdue for an appointment with the pillory if ever there was one; now SOLOMON KANE, there's a proper Puritan night-stalker for you! CURSE YOU!

(By the way, splendid work on these familiars).

If there's a hell, I'm sure Hopkins is paying his dues, and then some!
Solomon Kane is perhaps R E Howards scariest protagonist, because of his religious convictions. But he did do some good monster- and pirate-slaying.

It recently occurred to me to wonder how Master Solomon would handle the aftermath of THE VVITCH; one suspects he'd be rather better qualified to cope with such Infernal goings-on than those pitiful souls who actually appeared in the film!

He'd make short work of the flying nude ladies!

So to speak ... Giggle

Hopkins knew his stuff...

Evil knows evil, you know..

Yes!

Vinegar Tom is certainly the coolest critter, but I suspect Sacke & Sugar is related to the beast in Monty Python & the Holy Grail. That rabbit's dynamite! Wink/Razz

I like how you presented each imp: some elements of familiar, but off center. ;) (Wink)

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

They're all nasty customers, I suspect.

Can you imagine a pet rescue organization featuring homeless pets like these? ;) (Wink)

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

Homeless imps; adopt one today

Agent-Sarah Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Soooooo cat, dog bunny loaf, murder rabbit, bull gray hound and murder weasel.

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

Pretty much! Not your regular pet store variety (except for the cat).

Agent-Sarah Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

No kidding.

I think this first time I have seen these imps out that one piece they come from

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 30, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

Well, I thought it would be fun to do my own version of them.

GoldandSliverDragon Featured By Owner May 31, 2018

And by the looks of it was, I'm just pointing out that you could be the first to do so.

Loneanimator Featured By Owner Jun 1, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

Maybe I am

The original wood cut is pretty darn cool too.

GoldandSliverDragon Featured By Owner Jun 1, 2018

Yes it is.

Bonehead-XL Featured By Owner May 30, 2018

Vinegar Tom would be a good band name.

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 30, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

You're certainly right about that

dlambeaut Featured By Owner May 30, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

I always liked Vinegar Tom. Its name and weird appearance are so original... A bad choice for a witch anyway: Too difficult to conceal.

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 30, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

They all have cool names, but Vinegar Tom certainly has the coolest look.

Why do imps always take the forms of such ordinary animals? If I were a witch doctor, in Africa or South America, could it be crocodile, or a monkey?

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 30, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

If an imp look like an ordinary animal (sort of), then people won't talk about it. Not even demons like to stand out too much from the crowd (Vinegar Tom being an exception).

dalek-hal Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Traditional Artist

Are these imps from a story?

Loneanimator Featured By Owner May 31, 2018 Hobbyist Filmographer

They're from an alleged confession documented by witchfinder general Matthew Hopkins. These creatures were supposedly servants of a woman accused of witchcraft.
