I haven't shared illustration processes much with you, so here is a pivotal page in Welcome to Dunwich: inks, flats (for selection and color forethought), colors, lighting and grunge and filters that intensify the color, and the final with lettering.
If you're interested in the inks and coloring process, I break it down for Backers all the time on Patreon, for as little as a dollar a month, here.

I've about had it working my way through the Video Nasties, the UK's list of banned VHS movies. Many of these are very bad -- and not in an entertaining way.
Yet there are some commendable Video Nasties films. I know because I've seen them and even own some. I'm just going to cut to the chase and list what you will probably enjoy.
Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part 2, The Hills Have Eyes, Night of the Living Dead, Phantasm, Scanners, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Thingare all on the Video Nasties list. You've probably seen these cornerstones of '70s and '80s mainstream horror. All are highly recommended.
You know I'm hooked on '70s and '80s Italian horror directors, so Dario Argento's Deep Red (1975) and Suspiria (1977) will both receive enthusiastic thumbs up here.

Martin (1977) is about a young man who believes himself to be a vampire. Written and directed by George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Martin will leave you guessing, with trippy tension, social commentary and believable characters. You know how much I love cryptic plot lines! This one is worth experiencing.
Christmas Evil (1980) even made it on my recommended Christmas horror list in the Dread Central article, You Better Watch Out for These Classic Holiday Horrors.
Horror lovers I’ve met who discover this movie overwhelmingly love it. Christmas Evilfollows a warped and creepy, but surprisingly sympathetic, toy factory executive who snaps and turns into a killer Santa. Written and directed (always a good sign) by Lewis Jackson.
Alice Sweet Alice (1976), Brooke Shields' first theater movie, is a clever little tale of a young girl suspected of her younger sister's brutal murder during her First Communion. You'll love the way that, during the big reveal, a major character is put in peril.
Alice Sweet Alice is the only one of the three currently playing for free on TubiTV, but keep your eyes open, these regularly make the rounds of free and pay sites.

That's it for me, because I have shit-load of stuff to finish to set Non-Comic Con Relaxational Week in motion: revised sign up landing page, new sign up giveaway to produce, social ads to construct. Plus there're several existing stories to convert to Webtoons so I can push NCCRW there. You will be the first to hear when these stories launch at Gods of Aazurn.
I received some nice emails a couple of weeks ago when I pointed out that I'm here to chat. We can't do face to face, but I do like to hear from you if you feel so inclined.
Remember there are people around you. They may be in hiding. They may be very scared. Look after yourself (first priority) but don't forget the neighbors. Loneliness is a killer, too.
Stay safe and be happy.
In glorious service to our Aazurn overlords,
Gary Scott Beatty
