A properly devilish Little Fear for this weeks #Colour_Collective. I had a name for him the moment I finished doodling him. I reckon Carter is quite fitting.
With special thanks

Getting a bit cold this week in the Scottish hills as we move into Autumn, so an icy antlered Doe arrived for this weeks #Colour_Collective. Could imagine her giving a deer hunter a bit of a shock. The colour this week is Glaucous.
A wee thingy about the image quality this last month here, at the Fears. Since arriving in Scotland I’ve been on a 4G connection through my mobile in the mountains. It was generally worse than 90s dial-up. We kludged around it, but until this last few days, I haven’t been able to upload anything bigger than 200kb from home. That’s meant going so far as removing the paper texture from my drawings to reduce file size. Yeuch. Sorry if it’s given a whiff of the ugly.
I got a contractless router to take the heat off my phone. The updated version of this thing from 4Gee. Our landline in the new home was so bad we actually got a 4G aerial fitted to the house free, then a price reduction on our 4Gee monthly plan. We’re still paying about £60 a month for the net, but we’ve gone from less than 28k download speeds and zero upload speeds to about 60mb download and 15mb upload. That’s better than my old fibre optic line in London! Cripes.
So I’ll carry on with Inktober as I have been for a bit of consistency, hopefully, upload a few videos, then crack on with the great schemes for the Fears in November.
Ooo, and November! For the men, don’t forget about Movember. For the writers, don’t forget about NaNoWriMo. Anyone participating in either?

‘She fell forward. The spirals winding their way into her senses. She fell forward. Was this vertigo or?… She fell forward.’
Muddy funster she’s a scary fear. Google tells me Helixphobia is a fear of spirals. I think I gave it to myself by doodling this creepy lady. This weeks #Colour_Collective is Scheveningen Yellow Light. The wee eye dot made for a terrifying yellow. Yikes!
She’s also available as an original artwork in my Etsy store. Who doesn’t want a fear of spirals in their home, right? She’s been drawn onto 240 gsm canvas card. Inked with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen – Black. Free first class Royal Mail worldwide delivery. I also have Leo the lioness and the Siamese kitties in my shop if a barn hugging cloud doesn’t tickle your fancy.

Stone me, there’s something fishy about this weeks horror portrait…
Kertish!
Yep, Pisces this week. While I’m between houses I’m getting some serious doodling done. At this rate, by the time I have the new home, I’ll have the astrological calendar of monsters finished.
This weeks #Colour_Collective is Seashell for which this wee evil fishy will be submitted.

I’d like to introduce Trine for this weeks #Colour_Collective. The colour this week is Cardinal Red. I’m never quite sure if this character reminds me of a dinosaur or a bird. I’ve always liked her head shape though.
For this weeks colour collective, I really wanted to use my orange bug. It didn’t work in my portrait format though. So we get creative! I double up on his legs so they look like little tentacles and gave him a standing body. A little unnerving, but my bright orange bug works well as a head…
A return to the astrological characters this week for #Colour_Collective. Aries the ram. She’s a colourful lil Fear, and I always wanted to return to her and re-shape her body.
Ooo, yes! And speaking of astrological signs, Virgo is now available on my Etsy store.
Playing with colours for #Colour_Collective. The colour is a super light mint green. Using that against a black background looks awful, so we got creative with a colour wheel. I drew this character for a horror story, Tapdancers Dilemma. I think she still looks fearful in purple with minty wings.
We’ll have no Princesses here. Peach for this weeks #Colour_Collective. Freshly doodled this week. Quite like the overall appearance of him.

Introducing Pea Demon for this weeks #Colour_Collective. This weeks colour is pea green. Upon drawing her head I noticed I’d kinda drawn a pea… So let’s go with that. I always thought the Poddington Peas were a cult of some sort…
Say hello to Rhubarb. This weeks #Colour_Collective is Lincoln Green. The top of the horns is Lincoln Green. Originally had a black body, coloured purple, and looks so much like a fear of Rhubarb to me.
Coo, finally, nearly caught up with #Colour_Collective. A colourful wee Tumeric Fear this week.

I really like the way this Fear turned out. The colour of choice of course, for this weeks #Colour_Collective. Again, I think the colour sounds like a good name. So say hello to Vanilla.

This weeks #Colour_Collective is Basalt Grey. I think this lovely lady was just a stone throw away from being perfect. Hah, see that, a geological pun. I just dug that up. Reminds me of a tectonic relationship I once had. There was a lot of friction between us. We both had our faults…
I thank ya…

For this weeks #Colour_Collective. Wasps… Nope… Nothing to say or see here. Arse dagger wielding little feckers.
Introducing Leo for this weeks #Colour_Collective. Funny thing, based Leo on the Siamese kitties from a few weeks back. Had a look at some lion photos and noticed how much their ears resemble teddy bears. I had to scale back on the pointy-ness, and of course, give him green eyes. I like the look of him in the portrait shot, but zoomed out with the whole body, I ain’t keen. The mane looks too much like a dodgy beard.
So, Leo joins my astrological lineup and this lion changes to a lioness. It’s going to be an all-lady zodiac at this rate. Funny how the Little Fears has gone 100% female over the last 6 months. I do hope I never end up in a ‘men writing women badly‘ tweetstorm.
Introducing Ibex for this weeks #Colour_Collective. A lovely lady really. Big on climbing and biffing people up the butt. Small on collectable frog toys. This weeks colour is Scheveningen Orange.
This weeks #Colour_Collective is Cornflower Blue. Exactly the same colour as this angry fellow. He was yelling at me until he was blue in the face… Then he popped… You know the sort, right?
POP!

The last update of the year, well keep this one short. Terrordactyl from the doodles post this week is my #Colour_Collective for this week’s Twitter hashtag. She’s also available now from my Threadless store from $12.95.

One of the old bugly Fears again. She got her eyebrows done for last weeks #Colour_Collective. The colour last week was Milk. I just like having a Fear waving at my readers. She looks very friendly, to me. Coooeeey.
