– Last Days –
MabsDrawlloweenClub – InkTober 2017
Day #27 – 28 – 29 – 30 – 31: Double challenge #Drawlloweentober

Day #27 – This day prompts were Little Devil and Climb. I don’t really like to paint devil’s images, but I made this one more thinking at a horned ethereal creature like a fantasy fairy or game character the color red obviously was supposed to be!

Day #28 – This is my choice for the prompt Villain my painting is inspired by the Disney movie “Maleficent” and she is Angelina Jolie in her character!

Days #29 and #30 – I had to catchup a day so I decided to combine two days using four promps in one drawing! Prompts are: Broom Ride, United, Spider, Found 🖤Today I wrote a short story for this painting! “Gilda the mysterious witch in a night during Fall, was seen in the sky at night, she was fast riding her broom happily, after she got reunited with her found friend Spider!” ©CR 🖤♥️

Day# 31 – This is my “Emily” character from the movie “Corps Bride” honoring Tim Burton with this prompt. I haven’t changed Emily character too much, but she has my style touch! This is last painting of this amazing month of October!

– Coffin – Juicy –
Day #23 MabsDrawlloweenClub – InkTober 2017

Day #23: Double challenge #Drawlloweentober
Prompts:
> MabsDrawlloweenClub: Coffin
> Inktober: Juicy
This painting is inspired by the prompt Coffin and try to make it less creepy and more juicy! I decided to paint again my big eyes style Ms. Wednesday Addams, but this time she is doing meditation peacefully sit on a “Coffin” just to stay in the Halloween spirit… Namaste 🕉 btw I don’t think I ever seen the Addams family doing meditation especially Wednesday so my interpretation it is something different! ;-)

–Creepy Twins – Cloud –
Day #19 MabsDrawlloweenClub – InkTober 2017

Day #19: Double challenge #Drawlloweentober
Prompts:
> MabsDrawlloweenClub: Creepy Twins
> Inktober: Cloud
Today painting of my Creepy Twins is not so creepy and is inspired by artist @mabgraves beautiful Twins post on her Instagram!
I wanted to give a more deep meaning to my painting dedicating my Twins to all the girls that have been victims of life events, that had them wearing an invisible mask facing fears and unable to talk openly about it! To all these girls around the world my Twins say:
“No one can put you in a corner, It will come the moment that you will stand up strongly and walk out of that dark tunnel and finally face the light” (Words excerpt from my Poem The Walk by ©CarolinaRusso) I hope to send some courage to all these girls and to find the strength to take down that mask! 💗
