The 'Ber months are upon us and I am especially in such a Halloween mood. I mean, I'm never not in a Halloween mood honestly, but now that the year is coming to a close faster by the second, I am so ready to enjoy the pure bliss that is Fall and Halloween especially. That being said, in order to get me even more into that frame of mind, I've been giving Beej- my Beetlejuice hyena- the refurb he deserves as well. As of last night, I just finished up his head refurb. I love him to death, especially since I finally decided to bite the bullet and try using a wig on him (which I didn't do too bad with if I do say so myself). His tail is about halfway done, and I just started cutting out pieces for his paws, so since I am making so much progress on him (and the fact that he's only a mini partial with a signature outfit to tie him all together), I'm planning on taking more photos of him with the entire costume being finished instead of just sharing the head like I did with Peaches. But, if you want a sneak peak of him, I've got some photos on my Instagram you can check out :)

In addition to working on Beej, my other major Burtony love- Corpse Bride- is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and I am so hyped. end of August-end of November is kind of my peak reawakening of my Corpse Bride special interest for me, and I especially think it's hitting even more this year because of the anniversary. Heard some select theaters will be bringing the movie back to theathers in October for a limited re-release in honor of the anniversary, and at least one of my work friends and I are planning on going. I've seen the movie probably a hundred times (no, I'm not joking), but it'll be such a treat to see it on the big screen, especially since I was little when it originally came out and was TERRIFIED of the idea back then. Somewhat off-topic, I suppose, but I find it funny that some of the things that used to scare me as a little little kid comforted me in my preteen years and still comfort me to this day. I'm just happy that I got braver and realized just how gentle the movie actually is. But anyway, planning on making a drawing for the anniversary too, with a furry twist of course, and slowly but surely making progress on it.

Finally, I've been thinking a lot about Drawlloween lately. I don't think any of the official prompt lists are out yet, and personally, with just how demanding my job is, there is no way I'm going to be able to do 31 days of art in a row- like that's just not gonna happen. But, maybe I'll pick prompts I like, or find a way to do my own thing so that I'm still making some spooky drawings in honor of the season, all while honoring the fact that my work just saps my energy that much ;w;

But that'll be all for now I think. Have a spooky last four months of the year!
