Who else has seen @disenchantment ? I’m still in shock the we’ve been gifted a THIRD @mattgroeningofficial show! The Simpsons and Futurama have long since intertwined with my DNA and I’m looking forward to a future filled with this new family of characters. Also, Luci is so much fun to draw! Lots of great blobby/spikey shapes. . . . . . #disenchantment #mattgroening #luci #demon #fanart #bean #elfo #ericandre #GF2 #gregfreeland #netflixoriginal #netflix #ipadart #procreate #denverartist

Inktober 2017. Video Game Horrors! Day 6: “Sinistar” from 1982’s “Sinistar”. I wanted a bit of a change of pace or a palette cleanser after the disturbing fellows I drew yesterday. So I’m going back to the 80s with SINISTAR! I wanted to give this an 80s anime feel. I even designed the 6 pixel triangle ship to somewhat resemble Macross/Robotech fighter. In the game you pilot a ship (the previously mentioned triangle) trying to blow up asteroids to gather SINIBOMBS, the only thing that can destroy Sinistar! Though beware, for while you are building an arsenal, somewhere on the map enemies are constructing the titular evil death machine. When he is fully constructed you hear the chilling digitized audio of, “BEWARE! I LIVE!” What follows is a manic panic to lob bombs at a planet-eating death machine as it hurls taunts and insults at you. It may not seem as horrific as other things on my list this month… but it’s unnerving as hell to be chased by this thing. The sound clips still ring in my head after all these years. In fact, I always announce my need for food with, “I HUNGER!” because of this game. Yeah, so play it! . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberday6 #halloween #sinistar #bewareilive #runcoward #ihunger #1982 #videogame #80s #gf2 #gregfreeland #videogamehorror #space #scifi #spaceship #artistsoninstagram #denverartist #horrorgame #videogamehorrors #artprocess #fanart #sinibomb #retrogaming #retroarcade #creepy #midway #planeteater #pentelpocketbrush

Inktober 2017. Video Game Horrors! Day 24: “Undead Ned” from 2009’s “Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned.” The aforementioned title is a zombie-infested, Halloween-centric add-on DLC for the core game of the original Borderlands. Dr. Ned (who’s totally not just Dr. Zed with a bad mustache) turns out to be evil (what a shock!) and you off him, credits roll… but then Ned’s undead, baby. Ned’s undead! (And sporting a super awesome fake mustache) . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberday24 #halloween #borderlands #zombieislandofdrned #undeadned #ned #totallynotzed #videogame #gearbox #gf2 #gregfreeland #vaulthunter #DLC #undead #zombie #artistsoninstagram #denverartist #horrorgame #videogamehorrors #artprocess #fanart #gore #zombie #demons #creepy #mustcache #ink #pentelpocketbrush @inktober

Inktober 2017. Video Game Horrors! Day 25: “The Alien” from 2014’s “Alien Isolation.” One of the most effective horror games I have ever played, ever… Alien Isolation is dripping with reverence for the original Alien film and is jaw droppingly impressive in its recreation of the late 70s/Syd Mead style of a dingy, lived-in future. When I’m not hiding in fear or running for my life, I spend a lot of time staring at all the details and nuanced theming throughout the levels of the game. Those details set the scene and also drops you into a devastatingly horrific feeling of being alone and defenseless. If you know my scribblings, I draw a lot of aliens. I always feel like I come close but fall short. When inking aliens I always look at the art of Chris Warner and what we could do with light and shadow across those complex details of the alien… ah well. Just gotta practice drawing them xenos some more. . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberday25 #halloween #alienisolation #alien #xenomorph #amandaripley #ripley #videogame #sevastopol #gf2 #gregfreeland #bughunt #gameoverman #hrgiger #isolation #artistsoninstagram #denverartist #horrorgame #videogamehorrors #artprocess #fanart #terror #scifi #creativeassembly #creepy #NECA #ink #pentelpocketbrush @inktober

Inktober 2017. Video Game Horrors! Day 7: “Mother Brain” from 1994’s “Super Metroid” for Super Nintendo. Super Metroid is one of my top 3 favorite games ever. I still play through it at least once a year. Today’s Inktober is a moment from the climax of the game as Mother Brain’s true form is revealed - from a brain in a jar, to a disgustingly bloated bio-bionic abomination! . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberday7 #halloween #metroid #supermetroid #motherbrain #samus #1994 #videogame #90s #gf2 #gregfreeland #videogamehorror #SNES #scifi #nintendo #artistsoninstagram #denverartist #horrorgame #videogamehorrors #artprocess #fanart #supernintendo #retrogaming #ink #creepy #samus #samusaran #pentelpocketbrush @inktober

Inktober 2017. Video Game Horrors! Day 5: “Gatherers” from 2010’s “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” for PS4/PC/Mac/Etc. Set in a Prussian castle in 1839, Amnesia is a survival horror game with an interesting game mechanic, you have to hide in the dark or you go insane, you can’t look at monsters or you’ll go insane, and you’ll go insane if… you go insane, I guess, which causes hallucinations and all kinds of good stuff. These gatherers serve as the servants of evil and they generally menace you through most of the game. So, I had always thought the “Grunt” gatherer looked kinda like an evil muppet with those big googly eyes, so I tried to make them look more, uh, non-muppety? Also, I felt rather grossed out the entire time I was inking this. . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberday5 #halloween #amnesia #darkdescent #gatherer #brute #grunt #videogame #streaming #gf2 #gregfreeland #videogamehorror #daniel #fictionalgames #1839 #artistsoninstagram #denverartist #horrorgame #videogamehorrors #artprocess #fanart #creature #insanity #disturbing #creepy #penumbra #monster #hallucination

Hey, it’s ALIEN DAY again! I did this one in the spirit of H.R. Giger with Procreate and using only a white, fat airbrush. Swipe for some closeups. Next post will have the time lapse of this bugger. . . . . . #alienday #alienday426 #alienday2018 #xenomorph #eighthpassenger #xeno #hrgiger #giger #procreate #procreateapp #ipadart #denverartist #gf2 #gregfreeland #alien #aliens #ripley

Live stream test was a success. I’ll do some more tweaks and we’ll do it all over again. Thanks for watching. Here’s what we did if you missed it. The Checkered Demon. #livestream #thecheckereddemon #sclaywilson #gf2 #gregfreeland #patreon
