This week’s look at the workbench is for an upcoming storyline in Grimmleigh’s Morbid Tales for Dreadful Children. The story is called the Night Circus, and it only draws a ton of inspiration from Something Wicked this Way Comes. In this story, the circus comes to a new town during the new moon, and when the sun rises all of the adults of the town are gone. The hero of the Night Circus is a little girl who wakes up during the night, and realizing her mother is gone decides to take matters into her own tiny hands. Here are a couple of pages of concepts for the story:

I’m so jealous of the drawings you do to go with your notes. I love your art style! Sounds like an interesting story too.

Thank you! I try to write without drawing, but the drawings just creep on in anyway…

Cool! This looks suitably sinister… Especially those clowns!

The clowns are the “obvious” sinister element… The rest just creeps in around the edges!

Yes, I really liked the Master with his antelope skull head too! It made me think of the Natural History Museum here, where the walls are covered in the mounted heads of just about every antelope going. If you ever find yourself in Dublin, pay it a visit… I reckon it’s your kind of place!
