Fresh from the Monster Market
watched the videos, great job to all of them. here is one that I tried anyway.
enjoy and how do I deal with creative block, I sketch without care or pick one word and write about it. I love horror and "the darkside" of things so I watch movies (even dumb/corny ones). I also just like to see what others have done and this videos are great to get inspired. Thanks to all who do these, year after year. I know my art is not great but I do enjoy learning from others.
