The idea behind the whole slide thing is this would be part of a completely different world of sorts. Like a show within a show.
Red & Wolfie are Technically part of educational material from the Legions of Undead for Societal Respect. This was going to be part of fictional slide series but that kinda' got out of hand.
And I like where it's going. Might do a story about just these two from their "Black & White" world. It's been brewing for years & I think I need to do it at some point. = )
And the other pic I did was for Valentine's Day featuring Red & Wolfie - the couple from some Biff-adjecent material called "So You've Become a Werewolf: A Guide to the Fuzzy Life". I did two vers of it - One is the pic proper. The other is as a film slide.
Since I don't want to spam folks w/ a ton of back-to-back art posts, here are the two pics I've done in the meantime.
The 1st is some fanart of a friend's healer character - Biko - from his current project "Stormfellers". I tossed a bunch of older techniques to make him both translucent & relatively solid.

So... I hit that point in this pandemic where I stopped going to places w/ folks artwork & cool stuff that I'd normally hit up to keep me inspired.
Case in Point: My last art update was from early January. -.-
Well, I'm in a bit of a better headspace now & down for actually interacting w/ the world again. Expect some proper art stuff soon.
Just popped over to my phone for this 'cause I don't want to hunt down the progress pics on my system...
Here's how far I've come on the digital inks of that piece. I want to call it "Death Screen" or "Change Machine" or something else equally goofy & painful like an 80's Horror film. = )
As always, you can find these on my IG account: https://www.instagram.com/propheteka/
As I'm sure it was w/ others, I had Art-related plans this week. It's just been... a lot. -.-
I do have some fun art stuff on the horizon but I need to film a part of it first. I'm going through w/ another fake movie poster based on that Cursed Antique pic from Drawlloween 2020 but I'm also using it as video fodder to talk up my current digital setup.
I know it's still a "Thing" where webcomic folks will go back & redraw or even completely redo their older strips. Trust me when I say I'd LOVE to do that for some of them but not for the general feeling of disliking my old work.
In this case, I'd love to do this as a proper color piece w/ a bigger storybook feel. Maybe give a Golden Books type edge to it. = )
Now that I'm not kneedeep in holiday stuff...
BtV No. 48 to 51 - A Silly Vampire's Christmas.
It's my fave holiday entry & probably the only one I'd redraw. The original post was from '08. These are from a word balloon update I had done for the 1st Biff book & later posted to the archive for the strip's 10yr anniversary. = )
Read it here or at the Biff site starting here: http://sillyvamp.com/?strip_id=47
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays folks!
And now I know that ghosts & Christmas have been a thing for longer than I had originally thought & I've got some new old reading to do. = )

I love that - technically - having a ghost on my Christmas tags makes sense beyond me drawing monster stuff for a living. I think thanks in part to Dickens, ghosts are now kinda' just there in with all the elves, angels & other holiday stuff but folks don't like to talk about it like that. = )

How about some Fanart, yeah? = )
Here's a pencil pic I made of Acantha from Eliana Falcón's comic 'Cosmic Fish'. They recently hit the 5yr mark & I had been wanting to do some fanart for the comic for a bit now.
It's a fanastic comic. You can find it here: http://cosmicfishes.com/

I can at least say this: There will be at least One new non-comic pic this month. I gotta' do my Christmas Tag 'cause I'm pretty sure I'll get yelled at if I don't at this point.
I'm also thinking about doing some manner of Holiday icon to test out Clip Studio & see if I like it more than SketchBook.
