I'm more than a little bit fragile at the moment, for which I can only apologise. It just felt a bit like you were having a go at people who, like me, tend to do stuff like that. I know it wasn't your intention but, well... still hurt a bit. Like I said, fragile grace is fragile, and fragile grace jumps at shadows. I didn't mean to sound so confrontational and I didn't mean any offence. Sorry.
So, here's a fun little challenge that I've stumbled upon. I call for evey aspiring cartoonist, professional artist, or back-of-the-notebook scribblers like me - let's do the Drawlloween!
The challenge is simple: Every day, for the entire month of October, you are tasked to draw one "monster" according to the chart below. Technique, style and presentation is completely of your choice. Let's post our creations in this thread (One thread for one artist). 
Anyone interested?

Cause hubs are fun

Alucrad level badass
And yes, it is Sableye
A happy devil

A silly little ten-minute Photoshop scribble, inspired just a tad by The Cabin In The Woods and its creepy lamprey-mouth-for-a-face girl.
Because I missed yesterday and almost missed today. Chibi Jersey Devil and even chibi-er caveman goblin.
The Sugar Plum Fairy (that really is what they call her) was pretty creepy, wasn't she?

Goofy Blurry Doodle Ghost Go!
One ghost for October 1st.
Huh. The image in the first post no longer works for me now. Weird.
Anyway, for Oct. 2: a devil. Let's see if my HTML fu is better this time.
For Oct. 3, one goblin. If the image doesn't work, go here.
For Oct. 4, a very fancy vampire. Got a bit of inspiration from Adventure Time and Marceline. If the image doesn't work, go here.
In case you hadn't guessed, I'm getting a little annoyed. I've been able to post images to the board just fine before now. This must be a browser thing, since I can see the image on both my normal and mobile browsers (Safari for both).
Try that. If that doesn't work… sigh. Just go here.
That looks really good! :) I think the goatee's what sells it.
But I did looked at your dA page and there it was - pretty freakin' cool! :)
You're welcome
*Flies off to wherever he came from*
I don't see anything different.
If this is because you can't see the image, I also posted a link to the deviantart page in a response to Wall-Jumper. I feel I should mention that I can see the image in my original post.
You might want to check on that.
Strange that it is not for you. Try this link as an alternative.
Very nice, by the way.
Because who can resist a Harry Potter reference?
Because I am impatient and it's midnight somewhere.

In which Iximaz can draw neither wolves, and especially not circles.
When in doubt, go back to grade school!
Un zombeh
And since my eyeball would just be a vaguely circular thing with another vaguely circular thing in it, have cute instead!
(Let's just pretend her name is Eyeball.)
Alien:
Oh, come on, it was either this, or the Doctor.
What? It didn't specify what kind of Raven!
... nicknamed someone's rabbit Ceremony, for the sole purpose of making repeated jokes about 'let's not stand on ceremony'. I think Eyeball is in good company.
Though for some reason, she just reminds me of Heather Dale...
(Question: since there's only 2-3 people still drawing, do we want to create a new thread when this one gets bumped off, or keep posting on the old one, or abandon the concept as far as the PPC Board is concerned?)
hS
Even if there are only a few of us still drawing, other people might still like looking at your pretty pictures and my silly lineart.
... for a dozen people to jump in and scream 'YES WE LOVE BOTH YOUR PICTURES WE WANT TO HUG THEM FOREVER WITH OUR HUGGING ARMS'.
Or, more reasonably: maybe more people will join (back?) in when we repost.
(Still got three more threads under us, anyway)
hS
I wasn't really aiming for sarcasm - I was aiming for 'joke'. But I was doing it on about five hours of sleep, so I may have missed?
Though I admit, on rereading, that 'hug them with our hugging arms' sounds like a very Wobbles thing to say.

Just so you know, I'm now imagining the skull as a very laid-back doorknocker.
"'sup? Oh, yeah, the house? 's haunted. Totally haunted. Like, the hauntedest. So I can't let you in. 's not that I don't want to, obvs..."
hS
But I like the idea of a werewolf playing with a giant beach ball, so we'll go with that. =]
He looks so squishy and huggable.
I have never been able to draw. I can't draw a strait line with a ruler. Then, I make it worse, by finger painting with MS Paint! Why, oh, why am I doing this!?
Anyway, here is my 'painting.'
I noticed too late that my O eclipsed the R. So, yes, I misspelled my own name.
This one is actually better then the last one. Mostly because I had a guide, but still, better.
Points to anyone who can recognize who this is.

Nah, obviously that's HIM!!!!
That means I've been watching too much Vinesauce.
I'm not that good an artist, but whatever. Drawing is fun.
So, have a doodle of a ghost.
It's a hard life being an Art Nouveau ghost.
There is no chance at all of me doing the entire month, for the record.

Goblin, by way of 'corrupted elf', with a little bit of 'dance, magic dance' for good measure.
I'm afraid you'll have to imagine the tight trousers.

In which Selene is emphatically not a sparkly vampire.
To the best of my knowledge, this marks the first time I've drawn any of my agents in something approximating a realistic style. So there's that.
hS
Selene: "I'm not a werewolf."
hS: "But you turn INTO a wolf."
Selene: "That doesn't make me a werewolf."
hS: "And that doesn't make me care."
(This was drawn last night, in case anyone cares - but seriously, if you care whether I'm doing these on the right day, you should probably go outside for a while...)
hS
Clearly the emblem of Baron (count the points!) Jack Skellington of Plort.
hS
Entirely hand-drawn using a mouse and MS Paint, with none of my usual copying - or even zooming! I actually quite like the effect.
hS
And we're back to hand-drawn head-and-shoulders jobs. My original idea for this involved a full-body image with magical binding glyphs floating around the wrists and ankles. I decided I couldn't be bothered with that, but I did draw one of the glyphs anyway, to liven up the side of the frame.
Also, I quite clearly have no idea what the human skeleton looks like.
hS
If you didn't guess that was what I'd end up drawing, you clearly don't deserve your knowing-hS license.

For Day 10 I decided to do a photomontage of everything alien-related that I saw (and could photograph - driving!) over the course of the day.
That turned out not to be very much.
#1: For some reason, our library had bunting outside, one flag of which (the middle one there) was the Alien poster.
#2: RRRRWWWWAAAAWWWWRRRR! At the shop.
#3: Is technically a sea monster, trying to get you to look through the telescope down at the seashore. It's an alien, shaddup.
hS
Selene: You drew me AGAIN!?
hS: That's not you; that's the Raven. She's a knight of Plort.
Selene: Who's based on me.
hS: To an extent.
Selene: This isn't funny any more.
hS: Ah, so it WAS funny to start with...?
hS
That looks amazing!
Meet Frank.
I think I'm the most proud of this one.
