Sketch-A-Day 338

here's an old group shot colored up

Sketch-A-Day 36

a sloppy sketch of Inspectre loading a shotgun with...himself. A general rule of thumb, ectoplasm works as a suitable replacement when buckshot is unavailable.

Sketch-A-Day 11

I had done a punch scene for one of my recent commissions and I'd realized that I don't do too many action-y pieces.

I thought I'd remedy that-- the ghost with the most handing out some right cross medicine. So here's the sketch stage....I'm sure I'll cheat and make the inks another "sketch-a-day" post.

Inspectre hittin' the pipe

I screwed up the Inspectre's pipe again....it's supposed to droop down a bit and I keep drawing it straight. As you can see he's found some evidence and he'll be doing on inspectreeng, inspectrung, inspectoring...he'll figure it out.

Inspectre...with no overcoat

That's right, I'm turning this into a fashion blog!

So, for the first time in a long time I managed to get some attitude into a drawing, and just my luck it's on a guy with no face. Here's the rawscan of my ghost w/ the most.

I'm gonna adjust the hat brim a bit digitally, it's a little too wide and droopy and I've noticed my unwillingness to draw fingers is returning...I expect that to be a trend that'll ramp up again in the coming posts. I mean really, in todays fast-paced world, who really has time for digits

The Inspectre: YEAR ONE

I realized there's quite a few old characters that I might've drawn and posted randomly online without ever really revealing any of their backstory.

This is the Inspectre within his first human host, Steve Harlow. Steve was a down-on-his-luck security guard with a bit of a gambling problem that helped out his drinking problem.

Unlike the pesent day Inspectre, who has developed the ability to remain solid and be seen and heard by the living, back in the 1920's he was forced to possess someone in order to interact with the physical world. Over the years he had come into contact with unique people who could see and hear him without any arcane assistance. He found that these unique individuals could also give themselves over to him and through possession grant him access to the physical world while still being able to apply his ghostly abilities to his host. The hist would take on some of the ghost's featureless characteristics and most prominently his giant glowing eyes.
