31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
The Horrors of Sesame Street - Kermit
I had this idea a few years ago in the back of my mind and decided this was as good a time as any to dust it off and put it to use. "The Horrors of Sesame Street" will be a series of 6 characters from "Sesame Street" transformed into various monsters. This pairing was sort of obvious, but I'm nothing if not obvious.
The good news is that I planned out a half-dozen to get an early start. The bad news is that I only have three of them finished so far, so it's barely an early start at all, given that they are much larger (12" x 16") and take about twice the time to paint. Sigh. So, it looks like I will be playing the part of the Red Queen this October: Running as fast as I can just to stay in place.
Two posts down, 29 to go. But, who's counting? 😃

STEP ONE: Here are the quick pencils I did digitally in Clip Studio Paint on an 11" x 14" canvas @ 300dpi. I printed it out on 11" x 14" paper I had laying about, not thinking about the 12" x 18" newsprint until I had a couple done and printed out already. Yeah, I'm a little slow sometimes.

STEP TWO: I transferred the drawing onto a 12" x 16" gessoed chipboard using Carbon Paper/Transfer Paper, which I then painted. Unfortunately, I didn't think to do a scan of the mid-point in the painting, so here's the finished painting.

Done with Acrylic on 8-1/2" x 11" extra-heavy toned cardstock.
