Halloween 2026 - Art Dump Send off

It the end of the month, end of another season of the spirit with more waiting for the next. And customary for Spoopy season is a little 'costume' dress up for my two proxies, Rabbit and Laurel. And a holiday poster/postcard with them as the subject.

With some miscellanenous pieces that had been done between the time of the last post, and some doodles and sketches made over the month that I neglected to post.

So keeping the ranting to a minimum (for now) Let's begin.

Halloween 2026 'Costume' Design!!!

Starting off with this year's 'costumes' for my darling proxies. It's an appropreate and frankly long over-dued theme for their monster design - An ocean monster/folk legend theme!

With Laurel, an axolotl human, as a mermaid. While the little gag of Rabbit 'shedding' his fur for the holiday striking again as he is denoted as a Selkie. It's an appropriate and frankly over-dued theme for the two.

Originally part of a lot left behind until now. And really done now from a better confidence in my skill and becoming more comfortable with my own style and skills. However it fluctuates.

Regardless. The design was passed for this year's Halloween poster in favor of a psudo-tribute to the original designs that started this little tradition.

Halloween 2026 Postcard!!!

Finished last minute to fulfill the yearly quota. It was definitely a race to get it done as the holiday and the month comes to an end.

Not the most polished one, but it is still something. And that is good enough.

And with the Holiday pieces out of the way. It's time for some miscellaneous pieces from between the last posts and over the month.

Story Concept Synopsis Sheet

Starting a late-night, sleep deprived thoughts that managed to linger long after. Taking a lot longer before they were put into writting and much longer before they got any visuals. As initially interesting premises that could get convoluted with a little more thinking into the workshop phase.

Between the ripple effect and alternate timeline explanations for a story that hinges on the presence and memory of the future ghost character. And the unfortunate implications that comes with a cat who is incarnated into nine individuals.

It took some time to give them much attention. And now becoming honorary members of backburner projects that cycles through my attention. With my current focus staying a concept of a support group for the supernatural and those affected by supernatural, aptly call Welcome to Group Therapy.

Welcome to Group Therapy

Following Barrack Trimonti. A highschool dropout who joined a support group after surviving a recent mugging attempt. Soon finding more similarities with his group members when they reveal their experiences with the supernatural and the superstitions stemming from them.

From the classic Dhampir in a centuries-old hypersomnia shut-in and a werwulf drifter hiding from their family. To a girl with a heretical curse of bad luck, now diluted over the generations to be minor inconvenience. A middleschooler with a violent stalker that could only reach him through reflective surfaces. And a young man with a peculiar sensitivity to everything but sharp edges.

All managed and lead by a woman who lost their pet dog to a superstition practice. Wanting to create a place where the supernatural and those affected by the supernatural could come together and commiserate their experiences.

With Barrack himself more lost and ever. Having discovered himself as a corpse child, a child born from a mass accumulation of death to spread misfourtune. A cause for his survival to thecfatal stabbing in the mugging attempt.

Following Barrack's navigation in a world affected by the supernatural and superstitions. Helped by his group mates as he tries to return the aid. So he could find some sort of purpose while gaining a better understanding of himself.

A more personal story in terms of making the subtext of using the characters and the story they are in as a form of therapy bolder. And it's ths story that is currently capitalizing my attention in the veins of Feedback and Attraction.

And just like those stories. There's little assurance for much to come out for this story than standalone pieces and doodles, and concept snippets. But for the time being, there's still enjoyment to keep it holding the line of backburing projects.

Which. Speaking of doodles.

-

Reaching the final stretch of the post. Capping it off with several compiled pages of doodles and sketches for various and recent story projects.

Mostly characters of existing backburning projects. Like Cypress the tiefling/corpse folk Ranger from a solo campaign; the main cast and a new addition for Omen's Bidding. Nano from Feedback as the recent piece for that story project. And the main character duo for the Nostalgia Project, Nevaeh and Ezekiel from Worldbound Lineage.

The characters were mainly used for practice or simply simple ideas that are quick to latch on and quick to finish in one sitting. the same practice is done for the other pieces in the following pages.

-

Correlating to the timeline when I worked on the synosis sheet. This page features mostly characters and worldbuilding elements for the two stories. Other than a little doodle of the main characters from Mumbler's Isolate.

This page and the following two after start to match up the sporadic focus of different existing stories to the new story concepts, and then the current story project obsession to the likes of Feedback (the story project).

-

A more sketch-y page of doodles. Aside from a single holiday twofer Holloween and Christmas piece for the main 'duo' of Hey Future me. With the present and future ghost selfs of Kiping as Ebenezer Scrooge and Clarence Odbody. The remaining space is occupied by characters from Welcome to Group Therapy.

 A few existing ones before it's hijacked into a character design workshop for a devilish gremlin fellow, called Andrew Olivet. And going forward to the last and most recent page, more worldbuilding lore surround him as an imp. And Olivet's dynamic with another character who usurped my focus from the main cast, Robin L'Allegro.

-

The lastest page done with more time to doodle a lot more and polish said doodles. Other than se timeskip designs for two of the original cast. This one focusing on worldbuilding the more supernatural folk legends and the personal interpretations of said legends for the story.

Such as the mixed creations and conflating lore of an imp familiar to a homunculus. But more specifically the individualistic approach to existing weaknesses and rules bounding and enforced by folk creatures in the Faes and Pookas.

Such as the natural burning sensitivity to iron from a fae, while the Pooka could tolerate iron as they could specifically only be harm by iron. Demonstrated with the two folk legends surround the characters sharing the identity of Robin L'Allegro.

The differing levels of sensitivity to iron becoming a plot point between the fae that took the identity of Robin L'Allegro, and the pooka that goes by the identity of 'Santa Claus'. Having attached itself to the original Robin not long after their identity is lost, and by no coincidences.

With that. We have Reached the last of the haul, and the end of the post. Thank you for reaching this far, and I hope you enjoyed this scroll.

So... Ye.
