Macabre Monday #183 - Children of the Night

Image
Well, here we are ready to kick of another Macabre Monday challenge! This time around we'd like to see what you come up with for "Children of the Night" . Bring us your young and innocent, but creepy 'em up a bit first, okay? Our sponsor for this challenge is our very own Ike, of  Ikes Art . Ike is generously offering three images of choice to each of the chosen Gruesome Twosomes. Nice, right? The possibilities are endless for this one. What kind of creatures lurk in the shadows during the dead hour? I just watched Ghoulies last night, so slimy critters from hell, crawling out of toilets come to mind. Let's check out how the Minions have interpreted this theme. Temptress of Terror Teri Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo An InLinkz Link-up

I have been having issues with my mojo lately, so I was having a hard time coming up with something cool for our first challenge of the year. Finally, late Sunday night I realized I was trying too hard and thinking too   literally, so I had an epiphany. I'll try a new color for my zombie makeovers! I grabbed a cute little Buddha statue I have had for a while and went to work. I decided to go with a nice shade of blue green/aqua for the skin tone. Just trying something new. I'm still partial to the green skin,  but I was trying something 'fresh' . Almost done, now to add the black wash.  It's something I always do over my kitchen sink.
