11" x 17" illo of the EC horror hosts (Crypt Keeper, Old Witch, and Vault Keeper). Setting is in a graveyard; details are:- Crypt Keeper holding a book, skull, or some creepy item
Please draw the respective characters along the lines of their classic (later) appearances ala Davis, Ingles, and Craig
***Allowed myself to get a little interpretive with the interactions...

Thanks! Bit nervous on this one. I have, to the best of my memory, literally NEVER drawn these characters before. Not even as doodles in a sketchbook.

WOW. Absolutely stunning. The detail is incredible. If you were "a bit nervous", it sure doesn't show.

Ryan, you need to get some of the EC horror reprints; it's a shame you don't know who these characters are! If you like horror stories with great artwork, check out some Haunt of Fear, Vault of Horror, and Tales from the Crypt comics!

Given that I threw "him" in just to fill space, that owl seems to be the hit of the piece.And here I thought it would be the Reaper statue that would win the Ooo's and Ahhh's!!

Spooky goodness. The owl appeals to me because it is the only figure not looking up at the viewer. Very nice to see stuff out of your wheel house getting smashed to the upper decks, Chief.
