Well I never! I wonder if I spotted that "large blue fluffy looking chap" from Little Dazzington! I took a few snaps of him as he wandered into my runtime wearily, found a patch of geraniums, and started to just doze off once more... A bit of a big, blue monster with glowing horns, with a fondness for geraniums? But he seems mostly harmless at present...

I made this one-pager with one of my favorite little things in the DAZ world: Lady Littlefox's Gumdrops. We travel back to the 18th century for our 'monster' capture...
And I felt a need to do a version with a little dialog... I'll insert it small, so click to enlarge!

Pierrot and Pierrette's trick or treating is waylaid by a monster hungry for their cupcake treats!
Free Items:
Purchased Items:
No Count: Gumdrop customization options for eyes, eyebrows, skin and such were freebies I got a long time ago, but I don't have the links anymore.
Postwork: The images were rendered in BW with vignetting in DS itself. I then denoised the renders a touch in Photoshop and added a light glow to the cupcakes so they stood out a bit more. The one-pager was put together in Comic Life.
Some monsters make for interesting and loyal pets. Here's Brinda with her lethal metal monster pet, Tiny. (This duo was in part inspired by a new buy, The Antfarm's mech spider, so elsewhere I've put up a little comic of Brinda and him, and how he got his name for those that might be curious.) Brinda adopted a young Tiny when he came to the city the previous year for the annual Monster Mash...
Brinda and Tiny

Postwork: Fixed some poke-through for Brinda's cap and hair.
And since KA has no entry limit for this one, I'm going to happily keep spamming this thread...
Monster pets also need plenty of TLC. Tiny doesn't have any hair to brush, but he will start to squeak (totally unacceptable to Tiny!) without some timely oil for all those many joints and hinges.

Halloween Diner Human Inclusion
" Cheryl, I've had it with the boss and his human inclusion! Every year they mock us by dressing up in costume.
The regulars wont visit because they are harrased by the constant questions. It's insulting!!
I'm contacting the Creatures, Vampires and Specters Union to see if this can be stopped."
" Marcus, At least he is not pushing the human adoption for a day, we all know how that turned out!"

GP Monster Spider 2: https://www.daz3d.com/gp-monster-spider-2
Caught!
This werewolf looks like a valued member of this, uh, ferocious (?) wolf pack. He was caught on camera bringing home some dinner, you can see that the pack leader is very pleased (he’s the little guy right in front of our werewolf - don’t mention it, but he is adopted). I’m sure the werewolf is very proud of being part of such a strong, vicious pack!
Set up and rendered within Daz Studio Iray. Postwork in Pixelmator. No AI used.
I’ve attached the before post render (the one that says Raw Render) and the finished image file.
