The challenge this week was ‘monster’, so I illustrated a shadow person with red eyes coming out of the closet. Stories of the red-eyed shadow people often seem to involve an open closet door and pulling the covers over your head. (Probably the most sensible of moves at a time like that.)
Actually, I have some vague dreamish memories of when I was a kid and seeing white light coming out of my closet in the middle of the night. I don’t have any shadow people memories/dreams from my childhood, but I remember a ‘witch’ flying outside my window and tense memories of wanting the ‘little people’ (about a foot high) to go away. In my head, I created my own personal versions of the Super Friends, that were also a foot tall, to protect me – I think it worked, too – heh.

One word: Scary!
He look like my friend come back from a night out on the Tequila.
Nice drawing.
those RED eyes!! scary!
Really nice color work, reminds me of something out of a children’s book, but then that shadow guy gives me the creeps, big time!
Ivan – Thanks! 😀
Pablo – ROFL!!
LudaChristian – Yah – it’s always red eyes for some reason, eh?
Loy-bot – Would definitely be a really weird childrens book – usually they make friends with the closet monsters, don’t they? Heh. 😉
I remember pulling the covers over my head so nothing bad could get me! *G* This is a great illustration. I love the texture on the walls from the watercolors too. Very nice.
That’ll teach you to open the door!
The sign says, “Keep door closed”
sheesh.
MjM
aravis – yes, ‘the covers’ are bulletproof at night, aren’t they? *grin*
mjm – yeah – who left the dang door open anyway? 😀
Ooooo, your story is scarier than your drawing. 🙂
