🎪My Doodles of October (and so on~!)🎪--Snake Woman, Lobster Boy & MORE!

Hello ladies and gents,
This post is going to be dedicated towards my arts in the month of October
(and pretty much up until now~!)

I am working on a few more concepts, some that haven't even been outlined yet
but this post is solely for the ones I've finished (or close to)!

⭐The Progress⭐

I always like to make sure I snap a few images of my work in progress. It always amazes me to see how it can go from this simple outline to something entirely different.

Day one: Ring

Day 2: Mindless. Just a little Jack o' Lantern inspired piece~

As I was doing those daily prompts, I was also doodling for Cult Fragrance.
We ended up doing a Carnival perfume theme for Halloween~

My weapons of mass creation~

For prompt Day 14, I decided to sketch out my puppy. I think, if memory serves me right, the word was "Fantasy"

So, I made my pup into a Princess~ Like those old fashioned fantasy tales~

⭐THE ARTS⭐

I want to add that the majority of these were meant to be "quick draws" from a prompt I started in October. They listed for 31 days a word that had to be drawn on each and every day~ 

For instance, day 4 was the prompt "Bait" where we had to draw what instantly came to mind, with little to no thought backing behind it. Hence "Quick draw!" 

Some are amazing, some are "eh"...most are lacking a bit of detail. Like the hands. I hate some of my character's hands. But I couldn't spend too much time trying to "perfect" them since I'd have to do all of it, all over again, the next day. Also, if I was going to spend any amount of time on any one thing, it would be the color. For me, that is the most important. I couldn't care less about hands, in truth.

You catch my drift? lol Chaotic but so much fun~ 

Anywho, here are some of my artworks~!

👻Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark [The Dream + A Secret Surprise?]👻

Hello ladies and gents, 

A while back, me and The Cannibal Carnival decided to come together 

and create a mini "Flip Book Animation" for my reading of 

The Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark--The Dream! 

Everything was done with a few pages of computer paper and a ballpoint ink pen. 

Nothing fancy, nothing extreme. Just a casual set of doodles that turned into a wonderful work of visual art, if I do say so myself. Especially considering the fact we did this all in a single day--no script. No set out plan. Just spontaneous minds coming together to create something on a whim. 

🎄 Xmas 2018 Haul--VTG Ursula Tee, Handmade Gypsy Necklace & Grumpy Cat PJs 🎄 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents, 

As promised, I am here to show the presents I received for xmas.

Some of these items are actually shared presents and one of them isn't even mine

but I wanted to include because I was happy to have gotten it for my brother. lol

Anywho, if you want to read about the kinds of stuff we did for Xmas as a whole, you can check out that post HERE.

This isn't that, this is just the gifts.
I'm giving you guys two different posts, so that no one can come complaining to me that I gagged them with an unnecessary haul or that I was flashing something in their faces.
You got two posts to choose from--if you see it fit.

You clicked on this haul, you are gonna read the haul. lmfao

👹Monsterz Of Mayhem Ceramics👹 | Hannabal Marie

If you try to define "monster" online, it will state the following:
"an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening"

To some, the idea of a "monster" will cross their mind with what the media has painted them to be--Entities with horrible appearances that both scare and intimate the audience.

But I, for one, have always found monsters as beings worthy of love and appreciation.

At a very young age, while most kids were crying over Frankenstein, being scared about the creature that lurks in the depths of the sea and getting creeped out over the zombies deformities...

there I was, admiring them for their kindness they shown and sheer beauty that is skin deep and unseen by a naked eye. 

I loved this image, I don't know why. Something about it really calms me. 

As someone who used to grow up identifying herself as a "monster" to the general public when being forced into a corner in grade school because I just so happened to dress differently and act differently...As one who idolized monsters and leveled with them in such a way that sparked a form of unspoken connection between me and the "thing" people feared on TV or read about in magazines...I can truly appreciate what Monsterz of Mayhem is about! 

I, as well, have a soft spot for the ideology of what a monster represents to those who just don't understand or rather, fail to understand. 

🎨 My Paper Mache Creations 🎨 | Hannabal Marie

My babies! 

Hello ladies and gents

I have been doing some cleaning and rearranging for the Halloween season 

and I stumbled onto a box full of some of my Paper Mache creations 

I have made throughout the years. 

Some are from last year, a few are from years prior.
I took them out to gawk at and felt compelled to take some photos 

and share with the likes of those who give a damn. 

I love all of them so so much!

Goblin Market Inspired Look // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I am bringing you another lovely makeup look/Art concept.
This one is inspired by one of my favorite poems:
Goblin Market

"Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buyyy..."

Basically, to sum up the story...

Two sisters; Laura and Lizze.
They hear the sounds of the goblin fruit market from their house.
At first they try to ignore the enticing calls of the goblin men 

but eventually Laura decides to go out and see what's happening.
They entice her and she eats from the fruit. 

They leave and never return to her, 

but her sister Lizze starts to hear the sounds and asks her sister if she hears it, too...

to which Laura says she can not.
Lizze gets caught up in the call and ends up in the same boat as Laura 

but her ending is a bit more chaotic. 

She sees her sister being so sad and depressed about not being able to hear the call 

and tries to go out and buy some fruit for her forlorn sister 

only to have the goblin men threaten her to eat the fruit herself 

and not to take it back to her sister. 

She tries to bring some back, but the Goblin men attack her and end up...

ehem...doing things to her...ehem. 

I don't recall the full ending but basically, she goes back home all bruised and beaten
and that is where the story ends.
There is a meaning behind this poem, a reason behind this story--
but I shall leave the deciphering for you to do and just keep this strictly art. lol

Also, I probably chopped up the story but the gist is there.
If you are curious about it, I put a link to the full poem in the title name above.

Anyways, here are my photos that were inspired by the poem. 

I handmade all the "goblin men" on my shoulders and head out of paper mache.
I looked up some art examples of this poem and the vintage takes on it really stood out to me the most..so, I wanted to keep the feel of that specific art style in my work. 

A December To Dismember (Various Makeup/Character Looks!) // Hannabal Marie & Ghost Lee

Hello ladies and gents

This December me and my brother--Ghost Lee, came together and knocked out various makeup looks for the holiday season.
This shall become an artsy tradition from this year forward to always come together to create looks for holidays like this.
At least, the holidays that inspire us! ;D 

It was a whole lotta fun and it made me question why we haven't done this so much sooner.

But no matter--we are doing it now and that is all that counts.
Better now than never, right? lol

Anyways, we took to some old traditions that many people have forgotten or probably don't really see a lot in this time of the year.
So, here are the looks we came up with for the year of 2017! 

❄️ Some Of My Christmas Crafts ❄️ // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Tis the season for a ton of crafts and getting my hands dirty. lol

I just felt extremely inspired this year--thus, the crafting had to commence. 

I decided to take some shots of my progress during the stages of building up.

Birthday Balloon Bufoon // Hannabal Marie

My birthday was August 1st 

I had a lovely party with my family and one thing (among the vast amounts I got!) 

was a bunch of balloons. 

They have been sitting in my room, deflating a bit, so I thought I would do something with them.
Just a small something to get the occasion on photo.

So, I did a tiny little photoshoot using them.

Nothing fancy, just messing around with my oddness. 

I hope you like it and understand the significance behind the photos...because I don't. lol

I just did want I felt and they came out pretty good. 

I don't know, just felt like flopping on a messy wig and playing with my balloons.
Heh, that sounds gnaughty. lol

I like this one. Like youth lost to the wind. idk but yeah, looks nice.

This is how I feel inside my head. lol

That's pretty much it.
Just messing around and having fun with my deflating balloons.
xoxo
