The final three monsters (of nine) from 2000 or 2001.

The creature on the left is some sort of giant leech thing, inspired somewhat by the Flukeman in The X-Files and the giant leeches in Attack of the Giant Leeches. Giant Leeches freaked me out as a kid because it was one of the first movies I saw in which the monsters weren’t all destroyed by the end of the story. They were still out there, waiting to suck again.

In the middle is a version of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

On the right is a Mummy. The Mummy is one of the “classic” monsters that I’ve never really understood the appeal of. Sure, if I were stalked by a relentless, reanimated corpse in real life I’d be plenty scared. But I’d be scared if I were attacked by giant flesh eating bunnies too. Lots of things that would scary in real life are not so scary in the movies. One of these days I’ll have to watch the original Karloff film to see what the appeal is. If nothing else Karloff is always entertaining.

I’m guessing these three monster portraits were done in 2000 or 2001. I know they were done at about the same time as the nine portraits of women that were posted over the previous three days. So those portraits might have been done in 2000 or 2001.

How do I know that these monsters were drawn before the women. Because, when I’m practicing, I always draw monsters first. Always. Some people sketch fruit. Some people draw sexy babes. I draw monsters to loosen up.

From right to left we have: a vampire, a werewolf and a zombie. But that was obvious wasn’t it?
