Description This is a painting I did of ‘the spook’ from the Wardstone chronicles. If you haven’t read them then I would highly recommend then as grate reads!

Anyway I’m not all together happy with this; I was going to add his chain but wanted to keep the style simple and somewhat clean so left it out. Now looking at it, it feels like he needs it. Never mind.

I kind of did it in the same way as the cover art for the books. And though it’s different and thinks I’ve managed to give it the same feel.

Anyway enough of my ranting. What do you think?

It looks like a pretty epic movie,  though not the spook books. they have certainly gone for the epic action movie theme rather than staying true to the books. i'd like to see it but go to it not expecting the story line from the books. 


Tom looks ways to old 0_0 and that is not how i thought the spook would looking at all. 0_0

Jeff Bridges is awesome!!...well yes. It sucks that they didn't stick to the books... And it looks like the spook uses magic in the trailer.WHAT MAGIC ARE YOU DREAMING OF?! The Spook just finds a staff and goes and hits monsters with it and  Tom....what can I say? Puberty strikes again But srsly O.o Benjamin Barnes (Tom's Actor) is like 30ish years old ..and yeaah..And after watching the trailer so many times , I figured out that the "torch" which Tom sticks into the monster is actually the rowan staff. Ow and Julianne Moore (red-haired woman) plays Mother Malkin in the movie I mean they had sooo many options when they did the casting. Kit Harrington is in this and he plays Billy Bradley....When he would of been perfect for Morgan! And Antje Trauw should of played Grimalkin! And oh...I just hope it will have a rich creature bestiary...and for the soundtrack, I would like a quick dark violin..I would go for a rather sad soundtrack, rarely Adventure segments. Just like Two Steps from Hell's Blackheart. Go and listen

I think if i was making it i would play more on the spookiness of setting and story-line, it's what i love more about those books, they are not in your face horror but more creep up on your slowly horror. 


but i guess epic feel is easy to make in moves than creep up on your horror.

Yes. In The Wardstone Chronicles, there is a different type of ''horror'' that not all the people understand

I like the simplicity of this piece. You can easily tell what it is from the shape.
