awfulhospital

Some more rough doodles from before AH actually started. Ora was actually one of my oldest ideas, and there were once going to be several "nurses" like Tori! I also planned Phleboto's "office" from the start.

Dr. Phage's Files: Kidney Stone Mom

Mortasheen - Flysore

It's like if something that's not even a plant were just like Rafflesia arnoldi and with bug hands! Bonus size chart at the link.

Mortasheen - Slurpentine

Monster one of two for this month! It's a flypaper amber candy frog-snail tape dispenser, with a face borrowed from Odontogriphus!

Secret sketches II!

More stuff that might or might not make it into Awful Hospital - and the things that will have already gone through some revisions since these doodles. This totally spoils one of the upcoming doctors if you've paid close attention. ...But should its voice be likened to DONALD Duck or DAFFY Duck? I mean, those are plainly the only two options, but they're also equally good.

Secret sketches!

Stuff that may or may not actually appear!

Original Ora and Lexis sketch

Lexis was almost attached to the floor, instead! It wasn't as dramatic I guess.

Dr. Phage's Files: Cobb Angus

I dunno if anyone will get the name but oh well!

Slabs

The character sketch page Stone Slab came from. Simpler proved to be better...though some of the other designs might still be canon. Maybe we'll see some of them one day.

It's a new month!

We started getting close to the $500 mark, but a couple people had to drop out of big donations. That's okay! Your support already makes a huge difference, I can't believe we even got to 400 so long ago. I might actually add something more to the next milestone, other than just "extra monsters," but what? What would you guys LIKE to see as a regular feature that I don't already do? Or what do I ...

Mortasheen - Neuroculus

This is January's monster! I kind of spent all month juggling which of several dozen ideas I wanted to finalize but this one had been on the backburner the longest. Maybe I have too many monsters that do weird brain stuff through their weird ideas, I dunno. Neuroculus's eyes are like giant neurons that can interface with your non-giant ones, so it can make you feel what it's feeling, or what som...

Wallfire

Here's something I illustrated for the indie game Crystal Catacombs and never shared; an enemy called Wallfire was originally a stone gargoyle head, but after some of my other art for the game, the creator redesigned it into a living molten flesh creature embedded in the wall. There's no indication of its full anatomy in-game, my addition of a vestigial body here is a little secret people only sa...

....And, funny enough, I was also asked by an entirely different person to do some art tests for a cartoony book of protozoa, but it didn't get anywhere. The clients went with someone else or moved on to some other projects I guess!

SECRET just for patrons: I am being maybe considered to illustrate a biology book for kids with emphasis on strange invertebrates. Here's an initial art test of a clione/sea angel doing what they do.

Some old sketches of school-themed monsters; I'm still really fond of the pencil teacher and we might see him or her sometime.

A sketch I'm not sure I ever shared before of the "Pink Slime" creature from the Harmburger adventure.

Cognosticator poses

Some early doodles of what became Cognosticator. Its arm was a little less interesting, and I considered giving it teeth or a breathing vent.

TASTE THE WORMBOW

Here's every single worm drawn for the central morgue in one big clump, with hasty heads and tails added to the ones that were cut off.

Before I even started AH I designed a bunch of settings ahead of time; this was the boring, small morgue you almost got. This is not where you would have gotten Willis, however.

Here's the original image I made for Phleboto's "office," big enough you can resize it for a desktop background or print out and frame on your wall or something!

SUPER SECRET!! Possible AH spoilers

Some of these are designs for Awful Hospital.....or they maybe aren't!

Character Journal: Harmburger

http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/blogburger.html The scary part is that I didn't have to make any of the animated gifs. Any of them. They all came out of old Angelfire-style archives with no context.

Streptile

I shared the rough sketch of this before. The final monster comes out a little stiffer and more solid looking than I intended...I like the more fluid, blobby look of the original doodle, but I guess I have a lot of monsters like that anyway. It was originally "streptile" because I thought of it as coughing up infectious bacteria, but that's a little overdone in Mortasheen. Now it's "streptile" b...

New Mortasheen coming soon!

With all the creepypasta and Halloween stuff still ongoing, I'm still working on December's new monster. I guess that means you'll get a minimum of two for January, plus I hope to do some redesigns/colorizations of some older ones! Here's a rough sketch I did at some point of an updated Crepusculent; same design, slightly cartoonier posing, more exaggerated teeth.

Character Journal: Circula Tori

http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/blogtori.html December's first character journal is up! Each month I'll either put up a new one, or do a round of updates to them all. It'll keep growing. You never know what new stuff might be revealed, or simply how dumb and confusing they're going to get. Phage's will be ...

I don't know why anyone's getting so many e-mails

I don't control e-mail notifications - they're automated by patreon - and for some reason some people got about 20 of them for the last upload. I can't figure out how to report it as a bug. How many people did that happen to?
