McGhastly - color

Here's the final color version. I did all this work just to get a grayscale, but now I like the color so much I have to change my plan on how to present it in the book.

McGhastly is very much in the same line as Crypt Keeper (and the Vault Keeper and Old Witch) from EC in the 50s, and Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie from the old Warren b&w mags from the 70s. The name is a direct homage to Ghastly (aka Graham Ingels) and maybe a little Jack Davis thrown in. He's the mascot for Psychotronik Comics Presents and will appear in the opening for each issue. And just an extra FYI, I figure his voice sounds a little like if Tom Waits voiced the Joker on a cartoon.

Pen on paper and color in P-shop.
