what if My Neighbor Totoro, but with a weird goblin child and the Flatwoods Monster

[Image description: First picture is a realistic gel pen drawing of a neon tetra with small patches of moss growing on its back, surrounded by small four-pointed stars. The second image is a digital rendering of the same subject by a different artist, against a black background, with text that reads, "DRAW THIS IN YOUR STYLE! #faunaparra30KDTIYS". End image description.]

[Image description: four ink and colored pencil sketches of manuls, also known as Pallas cats. Three are drawings of the head only - one forward facing with an open mouth, one forward facing with a grumpy look, and one looking to its left with a slightly open mouth. The fourth drawing is a full-body drawing of a manul sitting with all four feet together and its tails wrapped around its paws. End image description.]

two friends in a Halloween parade [image description: a vintage-style Halloween illustration featuring a man made out of pumpkins, driving a car shaped like a giant fennel bulb, with a black cat sitting in the backseat. The drawing is cut-and-pasted onto a black and tan striped paper background. Also featured are two strands of party bunting in a similar paper texture. End image description.]

spooky house [Image description: A digitally edited colored pencil drawing of a house at night with Halloween decorations. The house is gray with black trim and illuminated yellow windows, and has a small porch with orange and black accents and orange and yellow string lights. There is a pumpkin on the porch, and a yellow moon in the night sky. End image description.]

[Image description: an ink drawing of a spotted skunk dressed as a clown, in a pink and yellow spotted unitard and conical hat. The skunk is doing a handstand while looking at the viewer, with its tail straight up in the air. The tail is dyed pink. End image description.]

I drew Maru [Image description: Three colored pencil drawings of Maru, a brown tabby and white cat with a round face. In the first drawing, Maru is sitting in a cardboard box exactly his size, contented with his eyes closed. In the second drawing, Maru has pushed himself into a narrow, oblong box. You can see his face poking out of a hole at the front of the box, and his back half and tail are bulging out the back of the box. In the third drawing, Maru has turned himself upside down in a tall, clear box with his tail sticking out of the top. End image description.]

[Image description: An ink and colored pencil drawing of Pyaari, a gray cat with yellow eyes, wrapped in a pink ruffled sari. She also has a stick-on pink bindhi and nose stud. End image description.]

[Image description: a colorful ink drawing of four snails in various poses, accompanied by a giant disco ball. The background is a sunray pattern of pink, orange and golden yellow with the disco ball at the center; the snails are bright yellow and moss green. End image description.]

(Image description: A drawing of an American opossum standing on its hind legs and holding its front legs in such a way that it looks like it is gesturing dramatically. A speech bubble with a skull in it emerges from the possum's head. End image description)

Another retooled Drawtober piece from a few years ago, a stained-glass style spooky tree. (Image description: A stylized drawing of a dead tree, drawn to look like it is made of stained glass. The tree is brown and gray, angular and geometric in style, standing on a green hill made of several polygons. The night sky background is made of more polygons in shades of blue and purple, with a hexagonal yellow moon. End image description.)

(Image description: A drawing of a black cat with its head thrown back and its mouth open, as if yelling. The cat is superimposed against an orange background with repeated black lettering reading "AAAAAAAAAA". End image description.)

(Image description: A painting of a brown tabby cat against a red background. He is looking at the viewer with a wide-eyed expression. End image description.)

(Image description: A realistic colored pencil drawing of a black cat's face, viewed from below. The drawing is angled such that it looks like the cat is peering over the top of a wall. End image description.)
