Day 21: "You'd better pay attention now, 'cause I'm the Boogie Man!" 🎶 . So I love bugs and I used to be an edgy alternative teen in the mid 2000's. Aaaanyway, here's Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas, gasp I say! ☠️ . #nightmarebeforechristmas

Day 20: Venus CRAVES men. ☠️ . Going back to Courage because I wanted to give this queen her flowers. "Queen of the Black Puddle" is probably my favorite Courage episode and as a kid she terrified me more than King Ramses ever did 😵‍💫 Used to get chills when hearing the sound of dripping water💧

Day 19: "If I'm good at anything, it's being good at nothing." 🪄 . Continuing with more wizard shenanigans and tomfoolery, here's Orko from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! 🗡 . #Inktober #heman

The Combat, 1939, by Leslie Gilbert Illingworth (1902–1979).

Day 18: "Formula of deepest night, if it's you than show your might!" ✨️ . Going extra niche today with the lovely and totally evil wizards Tyrannia and Bubonic from the series Wunschpunsch! I do feel like I'm the only one that remembers it but it used to be one of my favorites back in the day so...🤷‍♂️

Day 17: "Two can play at that game!" ☠️ . Next up, slithering in from the charming ancestor of brainrot that was Hanna-Barbera's 1968 show Wacky Races, it's the GruesomeTwosome driving their Creepy Coupe! 🚘 (I know Lil Gruesome usually does the driving but now he's a passenger princess.) . #inktober

Happy Haunt Day!

. Death . . Skelly in a sally #tarot #illustration #artsky #art

Day 16: "Speak your last piece!"🫵 . Evil, queer coded goobers with big noses and sassy dispositions? Yes, please. In come the Blue Meanies from the 1968 Beatles movie "Yellow Submarine"!🪲 . #inktober #thebeatles

been a while since I went hard on patina

Day 15: "Now I call on my Army of the Dead. The Cauldron-born!" . Picking something from the Disney catalogue was a no-brainer...The Black Cauldron is severely underrated to this day. And the Horned King is one of the coolest Disney villains, talk to the wall 🧱 . #inktober #disney

Day 14: Depression in a raddish 🌱 . Behold the titular character of the 2007 Chowder episode "The Cinnamini Monster"! He's just a sad little guy, please play board games with him ☁️ . #inktober

Day 13: "Clever! Clever! CLEVER!!" . Going a bit more niche again, this time with Corvax from the 1986 movie Muzzy in Gondoland 👾 Had this on VHS since forever...and while it's also an English-speaking course, little ol' me was more interested in learning the ways of the goblin even back then🤷‍♂️

Day 12: There can only be one scarecrow around these here parts. 🍉 . Gravity Falls is another one that had so many cool picks...Decided to go for something slightly creepier so I settled on the Summerween Trickster from the 2012 episode "Summerween" 🎃 . #Inktober #gravityfalls

Day 11: "They won't think twice if they don't have a brain!" 🧠 . Needless to say I was also obsessed with The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Chose the brain eating alien from "Little Rock of Horrors" because that episode also introduced me to Voltaire's music. So double the win! 🖤 . #inktober

Day 10: Releasing yet another Peter Lorre caricature into the world wasn't on my 2025 bingo card ⚰️ . Had to tap into a bit of Looney Tunes for that 40's flavor. Gossamer and the Lorre-inspired mad scientist are some immediate standouts when thinking of animated horror from back then 🧡 . #Inktober

Day 9: "Demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs, ogre of wasted effort"💀 . "The Phantom Tollbooth" is probably the single most formative piece of animated media for me. Used to spend SO much time trying to copy the vibe of the characters and the backgrounds...Anyway, here's the Terrible Trivium 🖤

Day 8: "Nitro-Punch!" 🕷 . The 1997 Dexter's Laboratory episode "Monstory" stuck with me since forever particularly because of how damn cursed that Dee Dee spider kaiju was...Anyway, 10/10, would recommend 🤷‍♂️ . #Inktober #DextersLaboratory

Day 7: "Kiss of death, baby!" . Had so many good choices to pick from Adventure Time...decided on Death himself because he's such a chill guy. Would totally hang out with him 💀 . #adventuretime #inktober

Day 6: You're a daddy, Mr. Grinch 👀 . Yet another guy that doesn't need any introduction. The way 5 year old me was utterly obsessed with the 1966 short...Directed by Chuck Jones? The Grinch voiced by Boris Karloff?? The song by Thurl Ravenscroft?? Formative is an understatement 🎄

Day 5: "It's a shame we can't play with him anymore..."👽 . The 1973 French movie "Fantastic Planet" is a really interesting watch, highly recommend checking it out if you haven't 🖤 Needless to say that the alien Draags fascinated me since forever. I mean...LOOK AT THEM! . #Inktober #fantasticplanet

Day 4: "Oh well, you'll join us someday..."🎃 . While I technically didn't grow up with "Over the Garden Wall" and everyone and their mother already did a rendition of Enoch and the pumpkin people, I do love the show dearly and "Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee" has got to be my favorite episode so..

Day 3: The queer icon, the legend, camp on heels, His.Infernal.Majesty! 🔥 . Nothing much to say about this one. Everyone knows him, everyone loves him. And "The Powerpuff Girls" rules 🤷‍♂️ I still get shivers when watching the "Speed Demon" episode. . #Inktober #thepowerpuffgirls

Day 2: Camera! Lights! Zombies! ✨️ . When talking about life-changing shows, Courage The Cowardly Dog is at the top of my (and a lot of people's) list. And the episode "Everyone Wants to Direct", featuring these two boogers, was one that did an absolute doozy on my 10 year old brain 💀 . #inktober

Coming up over the course of the next month(s), a bestiary of my favorite cartoon monsters! 🎃 . Day 1: A classic to start things off with, the titular character from the 1969 "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" episode, welcome Spooky Space Kook! . #illustration #monster #horrorart #scoobydoo #inktober
