Halloween 2026

For this little Halloween project I was inspired by Josiah 'Jazza' Brooks's art challenge called "After The Horror". The theme was to draw what famous monsters and villains do when the cameras turn off and my idea was to show some of them waiting for a phone call about possible new sequels of their horror franchises.

It started with Freddy, Michael and Jason, but after some time I decided to add three more characters each time. I skipped some years, but here are all of them so far:

2019: Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Michael Myers (Friday the 13th) and Jason Voorhees (Halloween)

2023: Chucky (Child'sPlay), Pennywise (IT 2017) and Ghostface (Scream).

2025: Billy the puppet (Saw), Samara (The Ring) and a xenomorph with an egg and a facehugger (Alien).

2026: Slimer (Ghostbusters), Dark Nurse (Silent Hill) and Slender Man (Slender Man).

Another new thing is the background. I've always imagined it to be happening in some kind of big old room, something like a Dracula's castle and here's a part of it. But drawing it was quite a challenge. 😮‍💨 I basically drew one half of it, copied it and reversed it before colouring. It was more of an architectural assignment than a drawing pleasure. 😄 And not to mention the details such as candelabras and the chandelier...

UPDATE: Sooo... it started with a room and then I decided to redraw the armchair, the stool with the phone (without a cord, yes) and the rug... it took me way too much time to explore all the references and now I'm late with posting. 🤷‍♂️ But I hope it was worth it.

VisionQuest

This VisionQuest weekend is a great opportunity for me to post my drawing in expectation of this new Marvel show that's going to be released on Oct 14.

It's the last part of the trilogy which includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along. During the weekend there are some creative art exhibitions with Marvel's twist on famous paintings,  props from the movies and sets, interactive elements etc., basically everything that has to do with Vision, Ultron and other characters.

This drawing is actually an older drawing of Vision I made, I just changed his original colours to white-ish and grey, like in the finale of [SPOILER]. I also expect for Vision and [SPOILER] to reunite, and [SPOILER] and [SPOILER] to meet for the first time, as well as the return of [SPOILER] in his human form. But we'll see, gotta keep myself spoiler-free until Wednesday, right? 😉

Mystique & Co.

I know the Nightcrawler's heritage story is a bit complicated because it has changed a couple of times, but I like the 2003 version with Mystique as his mother and Azazel as his father, so here they are!

Area 51 (2026)

One of my own quirky art challenges is keeping the memory of Storm Area 51 event (Sept 20, 2019) alive by drawing my avatar saving an alien from that secret facility each year.

So far I've "saved" a common green alien, a baby xenomorph and a facehugger, my favourite childhood alien Alf, then T. Ocellus from Alien: Earth and now ET!

And, no, nothing really happened on that day, it all ended as a music and art festival in the middle of the Nevada desert and an Internet meme.

Nightwing (Batman Day 2026)

For this year's Batman Day (the third Saturday of September) I chose the next best thing, Dick Grayson (Robin, later Nightwing and eventually the next Batman).

B'Elanna Torres

Here's my entry for Star Trek Day (which was actually two days ago, on September 8). For this year's drawing I chose one of my most favourite characters from Star Trek: Voyager - Lt. B'Elanna Torres, a Klingon-Human hybrid, ex-Maquis, later a Chief Engineer on the starship USS Voyager.
