Mayor Wolfman from the Cyberchase episode "The Halloween Howl".
It was certainly interesting recreating that early 2000s digital art style using modern Photoshop tools. Out of the toony backgrounds I've done so far, this one was definitely unique.
Plague Doctor Witch Reaper Ghost quick sketch for Halloween
Taking place in the same universe as Jack & Ellie (an indeterminate number of centuries in the future), Midnight Town is about Darby the werewolf, Gerrard the gargoyle, and Brandywyck the goblin, who get into crazy and scary adventures of supernatural mysteries and paranormal investigation. Unlike Jack & Ellie, Midnight Town goes beyond European fairy tales and myths, taking inspiration from classic Gothic horror literature and movies, mythology from all over the world- including ancient Egypt and Japan- and of course the spooky comedy of The Addams Family, The Munsters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney's Haunted Mansion, Scooby-Doo and Ghostbusters.
Darby comes from a long line of werewolves, and is a direct descendant of the Irish werewolf Wulver, so he's in werewolf form even during the day. Gerrard, like other gargoyles in this universe, can turn into stone at will. Brandywyck is an inventor and a chemist, creating the gadgets that help them solve mysteries. We also see Darby's girlfriend Clementine, a bookish, well-read werewolf whose family was cursed to be permanent werewolves generations ago, similar to Darby, but she's perfectly okay with it.
As you can probably guess by the dates above, this has been a very long time coming. Even cleaning the scan in Photoshop took forever to finish because of how badly smudged the drawing had become. I actually had to restore a few details with my tablet.
So these two originate from early concept art made for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, back when there was supposed to be seven weasels as a sly reference to the seven dwarfs. You can probably guess why they ultimately ended up scrapping them- they're both kind of gross when you think about it for more than a second.
