Week 7 B

 I have drawn out all of my sketches and they can be found below for feedback. They are all bigger than thumbnail size, but that's because I have a hard time drawing a whole scene in a small area. My personal favorites are the ones that are satirical, rather than the ones that focus more on the scary part of Halloween. I will label them accordingly.


Illustrating the scene from the article that the man wanted to do to terrify the kids (dropping the life sized ghoul from the tree)



A comic strip illustration that illustrates traditional scares from Halloween and scares that were mentioned in the article.



A creepy ghoul that is grabbing a Halloween snow globe with souls of children flying around.



I wanted to illustrate the overall theme of the article which was to terrify children, so I drew a child being terrified by creepy eyes



Similar to the concept of the last sketch, but I wanted to incorporate text into this one and make it more detailed. I was thinking about having his face be half skeleton half human 


Illustrating the scene from the article that mentions a lifeless scarecrow grabbing children as they grab candy 


A satirical take on Frankenstein. He is curious if he still scares children the way he used to.   


Wanted to incorporate covid into some of my drawings. The kids are ready to trick or treat until covid comes out of the darkness and stops them.


Another covid drawing that describes it as the new horrifying monster this year. Rather it being a traditional monster, it is a silent killer this year. 


A satirical take on three classic monsters. I wanted to put masks on their faces and have the mask resemble their own faces. Also thought about mixing up their masks and having them be confused.

    Hi Tim,
    I think you have some good starting ideas. I find the disappointed Frankenstein to be a fun and creative idea related to the article. Even though it's kind of direct and doesn't offer much of a scene as your other sketches, I think a green monster mixed amongst a news paper filled with articles could be really eye catching. Maybe to combine your last sketch with the one Frankenstein you could put that scary monster mouth on his mask as he holds up the sign.

    Hey Tim,
    I honestly find the first image the most fascinating one out of all ten sketches to me. I do enjoy see the expression coming from the child's face as the man on the tree wanted to terrify the kids. Because we're taking about COVID/pandemic from that article, maybe think about adding the mask in both faces. I know this had to to take place somewhere around the forest at night, so why not add more trees to the background.

    I think out of all your thumbnails the scarecrow grabbing kids was the most interesting. I really think that the bored expression on his face was funny. I also really like the snow globe one! I think you could do something really interesting with the color palettes and lighting. When reading the article, although it does mention COVID in it as one of the reasons why the author can't scare children, it wasn't really the focus of the article. It was mostly about how he wants to celebrate Halloween but is foiled time and time again.

Week 10 B

 I have decided to change up the design style up just a bit to ensure cohesiveness with my gif. I have changed the style of the ghosts. Instead of having them drawn in the sketchy chalk style, I had made it a flat ink white style using the gel ink brush in procreate. I felt that the stark difference between the sketchy style and the bright smooth fire style made it look a little off. These changes make the piece look more cohesive and I believe that it looks and works better. This was a great exorcise for me because I love animation. Anything animation related is my go to and I hope more projects can have some kind of motion or animating to them in the future. Below is my final gif and time lapse. it is consisted of 20 frames.

Week 10 A

  For this week we have to create an animated gif. We can choose any topic we want and since it's Halloween season, I have decided to turn a portion of my latest illustration into an animated gif. found below you can see my progress so far. Basically I took the soul ball and animated it by having ghosts or soul floating up towards the top of the flaming soul ball/orb. Ever since I was illustrating this, I always imagined it being animates. Now I can make that a reality.

 Final project UPDATED SUBMISSION  To reiterate my thought process for this project, I wanted to do something more abstract instead of a more literal connection to the article. I wanted to illustrate the overall motive and goal of the man in the article. His whole goal year after year is to get the chance to scare some kids on Halloween. I wanted to illustrate his goal finally becoming a reality by illustrating a spooky skeleton hand holding the souls of the trick or treaters he finally scared straight. One last minute change I made was to add masks to the ghosts to add another connection to the article and that this year if Halloween isn't canceled, most kids will probably be wearing some kind of mask under their costume.      This project was a fun experiment for me. This was the first time I had done a project in procreate and it definitely won't be the last. Procreate is an amazing program with so many options for brushes which is what allowed me to experiment with this pro
