The Moster

This week I had a little help with my monster. One of my daughters wrote a story about a monster and drew the critter so I told her I would post it here.The title of her story is “The Moster (Monster).” I took her drawing, embellished it a bit and cleaned up her story’s spelling. Hope you all enjoy it.

The Monster

Once there was a mad and bad monster! His name was Herbert. He was a good monster to the monster family, but, not to the humans! Herbert scared those people’s pants off and I mean it most of the people had to wear underwear! The humans got very cold in the winter. Enough about that. Luckily there was a superHero! His name was Maxeman! He took out any monster anyway any place any time. Maxeman will always save the day! He took out his monster buster and shot that monster! The monster was killed! That day would never be forgot!

Turkey Nightmare

This week, being Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I took a different spin on the monster. This is Fred. He’s your average everyday guy but he can put away a turkey like nobody’s business. To you and I he doesn’t seem like a monster, but to a turkey…

Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Orange Crush

Another cartoon monster head for this week’s Monster Monday submission.

I had originally set out to create a minotaur/bull style creature, but I started out with too human of a face. Modifying it was not working so I decided to go with the human version and save the bull for a future post.

Monster Truck

If a monster is driving a pick-up truck, is it a “monster truck”?

He’s really quite curious as to why all the other kids run away from him.

“Yellow Bellow” is the newest member of my monster collection for Monster Monday. The initial rough sketch for this critter was loosely roughed out in Photoshop, and then the drawing was cleaned up and colored in using a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet.
