Rockford Horrors: The Print Set

Image
 Rockford Horrors The Print Set The Rockford Horrors print set started with hand drawings for each.  I used images I found on-line as references for most of the creatures. (There are not many wolves or rattlesnakes locally available for posing.)  The various Tower views are from digital files of older drawings.  I scanned  the Horror drawings and added the color digitally. I used only black and one color for each Horror, picked from a Hallowe'en color palette  that I had composed.
