yearly October Illustration

Well its almost October which is my favorite time of year and I try to get a hallowen "spooky" project going. So this year it's going to be something to do with Icabod Krane. The idea i have so far is the scene where hes running out of the bridge with a flaming pumkin chasing him from behind. We shall see where it leads.

Got the base all sorted for the horse time for detail

What kind of final image do you have in mind? Cartoony and fun spooky or give us all nightmares scary?
