MONSTER MONTH: Day 16 – The Orthodontist

You know, whether scaring or eating little children, most monsters use their teeth quite often. And whether it’s a crooked snarl, or just a bad overbite, the sensible monster realizes he really needs to take care of his pearly whites. After all, one must think of the children in such situations – this is all for them.

When a gurgling, belching beast has need of such care, he turns to the trusty ORTHODONTIST. To take on a job such as this, the medical professional needs to be a person of quiet temperament and not easily intimidated. Their skill with odd-shaped teeth and the ability to withstand unfathomable stench is paramount. And they need to make sure the patient is well-stocked with the proper insurance.

This patient is the easy one. The last one had two heads and an attitude.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 15 – The Pirate Beast

Aaaarrrr maties! What if the scourge of man were to be combined with the scourge of the beastie world? No, – I’m not speaking of lawyers, though you are close. I speak of THE PIRATE BEAST!

One might be hesitant to cross paths with such a creature. He can be mean, ornery and just a little stinky. (Again, any comparisons to lawyers are entirely yours to make.) Just beware of the blade, teeth, and hook of his furry wrath!

Sure, he looks mean, but if you can manage to get your hand under his hook arm, you'll find he's quite ticklish!

MONSTER MONTH: Day 14 – The Hopeless Romantic

Underneath that tough shell lies the heart of the HOPELESS ROMANTIC. Hey, you’re nobody ’til somebody loves you, right? EVERYBODY loves somebody sometime. And hey, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie – well, you know. (Apparently love is just a string of Dean Martin songs.)

SWD (single white dragon) seeks mate. Enjoys long walks through villagers, breathing fire, and wreaking havoc.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 13 – The Noble Steed

Every brave creature that ever rode into battle in tales of the fantastic did so on the back of an even more brave creature known as the NOBLE STEED.

This beast of burden knows his duty is to selflessly carry his master into the storm of ferocity in order to achieve the goal for the greater good. He knows not of the political differences that brought them to this place of conflict. He knows only of the fact that his master has need of the steed’s unique abilities.

So, with blind devotion, he does what is required without any expectation of being written of fondly in the pages of history, er – fantasy.

All I can say is that since there are no other "troops" in flight with him, I hope that he is actually flying in the proper direction.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 12 – Frankenstein’s Monster

What MONSTER MONTH could be complete without at least one inclusion of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster? Despite having deeply explored this character in my “Frankenlisa” painting from several months ago (CLICK HERE if you missed it!), once in awhile he keeps rearing his strange flat head amongst my sketches. Here’s a doodle of him created in ink right from the pages of my sketchbook!

Try as he may, Frankie just isn't coordinated enough for "Thriller."

MONSTER MONTH: Day 11 – The Happy Dragon

Today’s monster-of-the-day isn’t really too monstrous. He’s actually a bit more happy-go-lucky. Of course, if he were a real dragon approaching me, I’d probably run in terror despite all he probably would really want is a hug. Hope you enjoy this little fella as much as I did drawing him!

If Bob Ross drew this, he might call it "a happy little dragon".

MONSTER MONTH: Day 9 – The Vegetarian

Here’s today’s Monster-O-the-Day! Actually, you get two for the price of one today! This image started as a sketch in my sketchbook, then moved into a quick drawing with some watercolor splashed onto it. Enjoy!

The villagers are probably wishing BOTH monsters were vegetarians about now.
