I feel like zaphiras reaction to snow, being mainly a desert inhabitant, would be nothing short of aliens visiting earth for the first time; though I could be wrong XD And clearly the pole is for sliding down to the bottom floor for deliveries and emergencies :3

Nothing too specific or detailed, just some goofy aliens with a bit of backstory, Im hoping to draw them more in other comics, whether it’s just for one off gags or longer running stories only time will tell. Their fairly friendly but their strange appearance makes people think their spooky XD

These are the #aliens from my recent comic, originally they were a bunch of weird stick figure robots/aliens I used to draw from when I was a kid, and occasionally in school, I just always liked this odd design. I wanted to try drawing them properly a few days ago and this was the result.

Do #aliens still count for #halloween and #spooky comics? I like to think so. Though to be fair the only scary thing in this are the visual puns XD Iv Loved drawing black and white scenes like this, I get to play arohnd with shading and get some good use out of my white ink pen.

I wanted to make tie in art featuring the maker the same way old horror anthologies had little segways to lead into their stories, I think I only ended up doing this in 2024 cause I struggle to get organised with time XP I still practice digital art so the quality may be questionable XP

070

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 12h

The maker is a mysterious figure who creates and is often around monsters, ghosts, mutants and creatures of all kinds, he doesn’t have a lore exactly, but from what Iv gathered so far from part comics is he’s the reason my sona illus lives in a spooky castle and may know more about him then he does

180

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 12h

Meet the maker, a kind of #horrorhost character I made back in 2024, I was still figuring out a good way to present my art and when Halloween came around I didn’t think I had any recurring spooky characters, so I made the maker as a kind of narrator/framing device for some of my art for #halloween

1121

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 12h

I’m really happy with the castle in the first panel, drawing buildings and backgrounds is something I worry about but this was one of my better attempts. I think I should have made a script, was trying to say there’s no rush to draw, so long as you draw when you feel comfortable, ah well XP

010

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 12h

Another comic get hyped up for #halloween! Ilus and Ophiuchus discuss how to best use thier time , while a mysterious guest enters to quell their fears, as there’s always time to draw, especially in October :3 (I think I fumbled the dialogue but otherwise I like how this turned out ^^)

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ice powered characters are seriously interested, also her weapon being an axe is just something I love on a personal level:3

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Refreshing to see the people not turn on their heroes for making a difficult choice

030

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

That sounds like a good idea! Ocs in costumes is always fun to draw ^^

110

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It’s #spookmonth! #halloween seasons! Scary days ahead! Halloween is one of my favourite, if not my favourite of all, holiday, even in my worst slumps I always get some motivation and inspiration to draw in or coming up to October. So I drew this quick comic to show my uncontainable love for it 😁🎃

191

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A fantastic redrawn ref for a character gifted to me by a friend, and a reminder to actually use the adopted characters I receive XD thank you again 😊

090

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Thank you so, so much for this ^^ you did a fantastic job! I can’t wait to start drawing them myself, I’m glad to have received this adopt so many years ago, and hope to do them justice with my drawing ^^

111

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Thank you! Glad you liked them ^^ happy to know they still hold up a few years later (last ones actually the most recent)

010

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Some old #halloween #comics and art, I don’t exaggerate when I say it’s one of my favourite holidays ^^ both for the more horrific stuff and general soookyness Every Halloween I get motivated to draw more then any other month (except maybe #artfight) so expect a good chunk of horror and spooky art:)

1132

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Beautiful ^^ the way you draw the crease in their gowns is gorgeous, and the little lore snippet on the side gives some detailed information Maybe you could do a mix of both? For every one or two new creatures you make you could play around with redesigning an old one and see if it sticks?

110

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Spooky ^^ I love it, kind of reminds me of a horror manga cover

010

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

There’s a whole crypt sequence in the game with these sorts of enemies and it was probably one of the scariest parts for me (ok that’s not saying much the whole game was terrifying and I scare east anyway XD) This was a pretty detailed piece and I’m really pleased with how it turned out

040

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

This might be one of my most detailed and, depending what I make this year, currently the most graphic thing Iv ever drawn. It’s inspired by these enemies from #aloneinthedark2024 called ghouls which are essentially rotting bodies filled with giant worms, I really wanted to try and emulate that here

192

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Admittedly most of these are really more based on #aloneinthedarkthenewnightmar, especially the second picture which I tried to draw something reminiscent of the game, but the whole series is one I think fondly of as one of my favourite horror inspirations

020

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I THINK Iv gone through my last few years of old horror art, in the hopes it builds motivation and suspense as I make new stuff, so I wanted to would out with some art inspired by one of my favourite horror games #aloneinthedark Specifically after playing #aloneinthedark2024 which I really liked ^^

191

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A quick little comic I did last year as a sort of hype up to Halloween, since Septembers almost over it feels appropriate to put here :3 And a spooky drawing, nothing special just some ghosts, some spooky scenery, and the most use I get out of a black marker on any given day of the year :D

081

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Some of my favourite Halloween ink/linearts from the past two years, ghist trains were my favourite ride as a kid (despite often being scared of them XP) and drawing an actual ghost train just made sense. Then the ghost ship followed as ghosts and the sea go hand in hand.

071

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A redesign of an old creature design. Inspired by various monsters from videogames, horror films and #lovecraftian and #eldritch creatures. The dwell is kind of like a horrific, bloodsucking mutant mollusc from another dimension that uses its slow approach to make victims let their guard down

0173

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

While I enjoy each of lovecrafts stories a few stood out the most to me, specifically #thenightgaunts, #dagon and #thewhispererinthedark. My attempt to draw a mi-go or whisperer may not be accurate but i still enjoy it ^^ and I loved drawing the night gaunt

030

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I started reading #lovecraft stories back in 2014/15 and since then drawing #eldritch monsters has been one of my go to sketches for when I don’t know what to draw, personally it was always the long descriptions of the monsters and phenomena that I enjoyed the most. You never forget reading them ^^

171

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ok this is an older one I made back when I started digitally colouring my lineart, and a reminder to myself that I can and will draw more graphic imagery. Aside from being yet another entry into my monsters with lots of mouths, their mostly inspired by the enemies from the #quakegame series

061

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

After that though I wanted the noise eater to have its own story, or at least some spooky comics where it makes an appearance, a lot of its background is unknown but it feeds on sound and leaves an area devoid of noise or audio, creating an almost peaceful, yet haunting silence

010

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A monster I drew a year or two ago with a design that’s heavily (and shamelessly 😅) inspired by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social #sirenhead creature. This was initially a visual vent drawing I did cause I was frustrated by so many loud and disruptive places I think most people would admit experiencing

181

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

As someone who can’t stand seeing Christmas cards in August I welcome the oncoming spookyness

000

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ok moving into the more recent stuff now, last year I drew this black and white illustration of the #jerseydevil and I couldn’t be more pleased with it, I think I read a comic based on it outplaying much of its history and as a cryptid fan it’s been on my drawing list for a while.

0204

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

My favourite of these is definitely the #nucklavee art ^^ it’s one of my favourite folklore monsters simply for its creepy description and appearance

030

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Probably some of the works I’m fondest of are ones I decided to go back to after a short while (a year give or take, at least, something still considered a work in progress and not just a sketch XP) and add some tweaks and finishing touches, and I’m surprised at much difference it makes

191

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I don’t have anything specific to add here I just realised I have three spooky drawings with a moth theme and wanted to put them together ^^

050

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Around the time I started doing introvert or Halloween drawings in general more frequently, I got really invested in trying to polish these kinds of drawings that use an emphasis on shadows, block shading, hatching lines, going for that classic comic panel/blakc and white illustration look

171

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

If I can I try to make the prompts have recurring elements like characters or an ongoing story; something I’d later do in for something else in Halloween :3 (il get to that one sometime later) I wasn’t even planning to make these into comics but now I can’t see them as anything else XD

051

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I didn’t get to really finish the list, i think i got 12+ finished and half a dozen wips that never got done, that’s when I realised while I can draw on a regular, uninterrupted periods, I can’t always keep up XP so now I only do ones I’m sure I can do or are spaced out through the weeks.

151

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

While I don’t do as many October drawing lists as I used to (well, unless it catches my eye and even then I only do one or two prompts at a time 😅) but I did enjoy doing #monstertober specifically one started by nokyatherobot on insta, it got me to try a whole bunch of stuff outside my comfort zone

191

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ok these aren’t all in exact order but I was never worried about that, pretty sure I skipped some as well XP I like drawing ghosts to see if I can get that ethereal, translucent effect :3

051

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Looking at my older work I took the “ink” in Inktober a bit seriously, and went through a lot of pens to do some of these, and this was before I got into block shading, my favourites included the ones that looked the most spooky or had some of my characters in them ^^

151

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You might notice more then one image having the same theme, it’s because I always rush through different ideas and don’t know what to pick to draw, so I just do a couple big or small pictures to be see how they turn out, and just share that number of the same prompt, unless it’s unfinished Xp

111

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

To clarify, a lot of these were Inktober prompts I started doing back around lockdown time (I think?) and I really enjoyed it, it felt challenging, after the initial drama and plagiarism that followed it kind of felt awkward to keep doing it though, so I steered towards different prompt lists ^^

111

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I’m gonna make the next couple of posts a series of threads, because I have way too much Halloween/spooky art to just wait and post all at once or over a single month for October XP so hope you like these older pieces. Going from oldest to most recent (or grouped together occasionally ^^)

161

robertoadder8.bsky.social @robertoadder8.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

When I first made this profile I wasn’t really sure what to expect; and I was scared reposting my own work would be seen as an attention grab, but I think given it’s been nearly half a year since making it I’m more confident resharing some art I enjoyed making and think you might like seeing 😊

Some more spooky illustrations, a lot of it is just playing around with shadows, silhouettes and greyscales, adding only one or two colours so parts stand out, the mothman is my favourite ^^ #illustration #traditionalart #mothman #aliens #springheeledJack #aloneinthedark #blackandwhite
