Hi Romero, I'm a huge fan of your killer klowns from outer space(especially the Floral Variants and Beast hybrids). Regarding the beast hybrids, aside from being highly intelligent predatory type. Can some beast hybrids be feral and more animalistic compared to their higher kin?
Thank you! Oh yes, I have so many ideas for Killer Klown beast hybrids that push the more animalistic side.
(would love to make a compendium someday (人◕ω◕)

Romero-sensei, can I ask about your Killer Klown art piece? It moved me very much! I enjoy how fleshy your art looks. What makes Birthday Girl so dangerous? Would you ever consider expanding on it, I know there is a a DbD-style game coming out about Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Thank you for responding!
Thank you!
We only ever see the devastating aftermath of her carnage.
And she carries any leftover food in her balloons🎈(where they are slowly digested)

Kontra: Against Evil
Support Our Kickstarter!
Terror lives! I'm pleased as hell to announce that Kontra: Against Evil, the new manga that I'm working on as an editor, is already 85 percent funded on @kickstarter! From its conception by friend and author N.P. Alfaro, I knew that Kontra would be something special. And looks like I was correct and audiences are loving it! Not only is it a folk horror story with stunning art and writing, but its setting of the Philippines during the early 1900s (along with the creatures from Pinoy folklore) are uniquely adapted by this creative team.I believe there is a massive need for stories about and by different cultures across the world, and it is an honor to be involved in this project. If you believe in this mission of diversity in storytelling as well, there is a link to Kontra's crowdfunding campaign here!And of course, shares are always welcome!

I was showing your amazing art to my GC of friends and we got to the one with Slender holding the tiny Smile Dog in its arms. And my friend, Hoonter, edited it a teeny bit to look like this-
I am so sorry XD

Do you have any tips on making art more eerie? I'm new to horror illustration and I'm trying to improve the atmosphere around my creatures.
Certainly! I'll do my best.
There are many approaches to horror art, so I advise not taking my word as gospel or anything. I recommend experimentation and following your sensibilities.
So first, having one light source can often be unnerving (and it's easier to keep track of).
I will be using monotone drawings as examples
If the foreground is light, then the background should be dark and vice versa. Otherwise, your subject won't pop against the background, and it can end up looking flat without any contrast.
Tumblr media
At the same time, keeping your horror creatures obscured or partly in the shadows is also perfectly fine. Horror is an embrace of imperfection and mystery, so things like distortions, blurs, and overexposed light can be a plus rather than a detriment.
Shadows are where your friends live.
Tumblr media
I also recommend looking at films and shows for inspiration. If you can recall a scene that really scares you, try to find it and study the lighting and colors.
So far, this probably doesn't sound like advice when it comes to making a drawing eerie, but consider this;
spaces should feel lived in.
Or at the very least, have a sense of history. Who lives here and where are they now? Did they keep the place clean? Why are the stairway photos blank?
What's upstairs?
Tumblr media
Have fun creating the world where your creatures nest >:3C
[And apologies for this incomplete timelapse. Doing timelapse drawings takes up a lot of memory >.<]

Hello David, big fan of your work since the launch of Deep Sea Mermaid video, and i didn't even know you had more stuff! Now that i have a Tumblr account i can follow your cool work more. Now just a question: how do you come up with such creative designs? I know some are based of pre-existing things, but your Slenderman looks so vibrant and cool-looking for example, so i was just wondering
Have a great year!
Thank you so much!(⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
Honestly, nature and history are the best teachers for me when it comes to design. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when life itself offers a bottomless well of inspiration.
I always loved the idea of Slenderman looking like a man in a suit from a distance, but once you get close, you see that he is made up of organic material.
So I translated his features to make him look like he came from the natural world (his tie could be a tongue, his collar could be fungus, his lapel could be tree bark, his tendrils could be branches, etc.).
This is by no means unique, as plenty of other artists have had a similar approach to Slenderman. His simplicity is fun to reinterpret and every artist will have a different sensibility when designing a character or creature.
For me, it all comes down to problem-solving: What am I trying to convey, and how can I best convey it?
It's also probably the Mexican in me XD I just really love monstruos, brujas, cucuys, cryptids, aliens, phantoms, the living dead... and all of my work is usually a combo of these things.

Do you think you could do more tutorials? Or show more speedpaints so that people will get a better understanding of how you shade, sketch, etc? Hopefully this isn’t too much or anything like that!
Oh absolutely! I regret not recording a timelapse for my previous pieces, so I decided to illustrate a Mermaid Ghost, a Smile Dog Jester, and an Archangel Dungeon
Along with timelapse videos of each one.

Have you ever watched Relic 1997? I get the feeling you'd dig the monster design.
YES, aw I love the Kothoga design!
I'm always astounded by how closely the sculptors adhered to Crash McCreery's pencil drawing.
Absolutely fantastic creature design!
