Description Tihs is just a quick and fun piece I did this afternoon. Nothing really special, I just had to take a break from all my work and draw something for myself. Sometihng with girls and monsters.

Instead of the monster kidnapping the girl, I like to think that the monster is rescuing the girl from the hillbillie family and they will raise a family together.

I also like that it looks like someone has a blacklight hanging in the swamp.

I actually like your idea there. The whole reverse-rescue bit is awesome.

cool job. this remember me the end of the movie "the mummy" made by the hammer team in 1950, where Kharis (the mummy , played by Christopher Lee) go through the swamp with a english women who looks like to his lost lover, the princess Anan-ka .
great work

Thanks. I used to hate doing color work and I really sucked at it but then one day something 'clicked' and now it has become my favorite part of illustrating.

I have a 40 min short film.....well kinda long for a short film but most of the gore effects sucked...though when zombies tore me in half looked okay and the locations sucked....but I guess it's to be expected when you make a movie under $1000 AUS

unfortunately I don't own a copy...the director used to be a friend of mine and we somewaht had a fall out....in other words he was a jerk that thought I was his personal property....and that's really something I don't need in my life
