waru - Thanks. I always thought the idea of monstrous foods to be unique. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was a huge inspiration when I was growing up, so I feel that played a part in the creation of the project. Glad you liked the monsters so far. There are many more, and better ones, still to come.
No. All these pages were done with technical and brush pens. I always used pen nibs in the past, but grew very tired and frustrated with them. Either they never held the ink well or wore out too fast. For me, it was a hindrance, slowing my output and making me not even want to bother.
I am pretty new to the lettering aspect. I was actually cautious about not using too big a font... I'll have to play around with it a bit. Though, when I print out the pages, they read just fine.
Yeah, the over-the-top muscular thing is an old habit of mine. Not that it's a good one, mind you. It is how I've always drawn. I wanted to emulate Quesada, Keown, and Sear a lot when I first started out. Since this is a project with a lot of tongue-in-cheek dark humor and is so over the top, it kinda fits. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to reign things in a bit. Good observation.
I'll have to check out your comic. Thank you again for the nice words and observations. I greatly appreciate them.
