Artist's Comments

After doing some recollection of the past, especially for some inspiration, I recalled the artist Stephen Gammell whose works were made particularly famous in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I figured this was a respectable homage to his work, as I tried to imitate his styles, including the use of the pencil fineness and the various blurs used to distort images and backgrounds. The result: pretty scary stuff! :D

For this one, I required some basic assistance. So I used this:

My sincere apologies to this unfortunate victim of leprosy.

This is my work entirely, and is not directly based off of any one of Stephen Gammell's works in particular, but I have always appreciated the style that he used for macabre images. :nod:

I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid, nor have I witnessed a violation of the Honor Code.

I remember those books, they were so popular when I was around 11 or so. The pictures were genuinely frightening and I haven't come across anything since that can match it. Everything esle tries too hard or goes over-the-top. the stories were great too.

I think I had 1-3. Were there any others after that?

Thanks! :D
I was mostly inspired by that guy Stephen Gammell. You know...that guy who illustrated the legendary Scary Stories series.

Stephen Gammill is definately one of my greatest artistic inspirations to0 also -- right alongside Jhonen Vasquez except that Gammill was a decade earlier.
