"Understand this, I mean to arrive at the truth. The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it."
- Agatha Christie "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd"

Oh Hercule Poirot, what a little weirdo. He's always such a jolly little man, even when he's about to explain why someone is a murderer. And, no, this whole series isn't just going to be fat mustachioed men.

"“I mingle with my peers or no one, and since I have no peers, I mingle with no one.”

I realized I have really fallen off drawing, so I decided to give myself a bit of a challenge. I'm going to draw characters from some of my favorite novels. I'm starting off with my favorite book of all time, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, with his incredibly unlikeable protagonist, Ignatius Reilly.

I recently played a one-shot with my D&D crew, and got to play my usual one-shot character, Zuko the Burly! He's a moronic dwarf monk who fights like a bare-knuckle boxer, has an intelligence of 6, and is just the friendliest doofus in the world.

One of my D&D crews has been doing a mini-campaign for a bit, and I've become quite fond of my character, a goblin cleric of a hospitality and abundance god who is basically just a holy sushi chef. His name is Taka, and he's a little grump.

"There are many strange legends in the Amazon. Even I, Lucas, have heard the legend of a man-fish."

finishing off my run of the classic Universal Monsters with my guy the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

"You think I don’t know the difference between a wolf and a man?"

Oh, the Wolfman, never really clicked with it, but maybe someday.

"We belong dead!"

The Bride is on screen for like two minutes, has zero lines of dialogue, and instantly becomes one of the most iconic and indelible figures in horror cinema.

"We'll begin with a reign of terror, a few murders here and there, murders of great men, murders of little men - well, just to show we make no distinction. I might even wreck a train or two... just these fingers around a signalman's throat, that's all."

The Invisible Man is one of my favorite of the Universal Monsters, because he's just a guy. He's not some eldritch being. Just a very evil guy.

" Not until you are about to pass through the great night of terror and triumph. Until you are ready to face moments of horror for an eternity of love."

Boris Karloff had the best face in horror history.

" Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."

Spooky season means it's time to brush off the cobwebs and draw some monsters.

I haven't drawn in a few months, so I'm shaking the cobwebs off with my main man, Dr. Victor Von Doom.

I've been playing Chrono Trigger for the first time lately, and not surprisingly I'm a big fan of Frog, the sad swordsman who got turned into a giant frog.

Been in a second D&D campaign lately, and figured I'd sketch my newest character, Redmond the Dwarf Fighter.
