Happy All Saint's Eve!!!

This has been a busy month. I'm not quite sure where it's gone. I haven't done nearly as much writing or drawing as I would have liked. On the other hand, I've played a couple of gigs, was involved in a couple of events at church and I've spent some time trying to get my office/studio organized. So, like I said, I've been busy.

Anyway, in celebration of the holiday, I drew this in my sketch book this morning.

Looks like the three trick-or-treaters in the foreground probably shouldn't have bothered the old guy in the castle on the hill.

Below I've taken one of my recent renders in Bryce, used one of the the edge-detect features in Gimp, inverted the colors, then desaturated the colors to make it black-and-white. After adjusting the brightness and contrast a little, and filling in some of the white space, I've got what almost looks like a very intricate hand-drawn picture.


 This next picture is a detail from the same shot.

More stuff next month. Hopefully, by then I'll know how I did in the 3rd quarter of this year's Writers of the Future and Illustrators of the Future contests.
