Artist's Comments

I *hope* that's the right category. It's a self portrait, so I think that's right.

This was an assignment for Media class, in which we had to try using ink and a scratch board. We had one of two options, one of which was Hallowe'en self portraits. I'm being Hellgirl (as opposed to Hellboy) for this year, so why not?

I tried to imitate the heavy shadows Mr Mignola uses, but it's hard to do that and still keep your features obvious. I don't have a massive ass forehead of chin to help define me, so some playing with shadows had to be done.

S.C.P.B. copyright God, 2008, and genetics too.

This reminds me of the Peter Kuper comic adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis, probably because that was done entirely on scratchboard.

Mayhap you've seen it?

It took me over a year, but I finally realized I don't need a signature.

no sir, I have not. I did just look it up though. I must say, I cannot imagine doing an entire comic in this medium. That takes patience unheard of to me.

Being able to draw out things instead of writing their description does shorten the source material a bit, but even so, it's surprising how true Kuper was to the original.
