It\u2019s time for another sneaky peak into my Scarlett Hart<\/a> sketchbook, this time looking at a few of the monsters our heroine will have to face. A monster hunter wouldn\u2019t be much without something to hunt, after all. And there\u2019s no doubt that the easiest and most joyful aspect of this project for me will be drawing the beasties. Here are just three, starting with a demon dog from folklore, Black Shuck<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"With a massive body (modelled on a hyena), fire-red eyes, and coils of steamy breath, we\u2019re about as far from Cruft\u2019s as we can be. He\u2019ll have to be black, obviously. Like a cinder from Hell\u2019s furnace.<\/p>\n

But Scarlett doesn\u2019t only face danger on the land. She\u2019ll have to swim with caution in waters infested with this:<\/p>\n

\"\"I’ve given my sea serpent a diluvian, plated face, and an eye out of prehistory. Think Nessie, only without the shortbread.<\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s danger on the ground and in the sea, but what\u2019s in the air? Well, gargoyles, that’s what. Lot<\/i>\u2019s<\/i> of gargoyles:<\/p>\n

\"\"Made of stone, even in motion, these animated church adornments shatter pleasingly when Scarlett fires her blunderbuss. But don\u2019t be standing too close when they do \u2013 being packed with yellow-hot sulphurous fire they are liable to explode like the Devil\u2019s own firecrackers.<\/p>\n

Lots more monsters to come soon.<\/p>\n
