No fair, this Halloween demon stole all my spoons. That's why it's so late & I'm trying out the altbot for alt text this time. 🤞

Why, yes. This critter was inspired by the xenomorph from Alien / Aliens.

A drawing of a creature resembling an alien from the films Alien & Aliens is shown on a page of a spiral-bound notebook. The creature is primarily shades of green and yellow, with red and brown accents along the edges of its large antler like head carapace. It has a long, curved head. It is facing to the left & only just in the picture on the right we see the front edge & pommel of a saddle on the creature's back.
A speech bubble containing the text “Trick or Treat” is positioned near its head. The drawing is signed “V.K. Soldusty” in the lower left corner and “CrapDoodle” in the lower right corner, with the Crap crossed out with three red lines & the date “31/10/2023 Samhain Hallowe’en CountDown” written at the top left of the page. Several colored pens & pencils are scattered around the notebook.

Okay, has anybody seen the cat?
Well, I'm sure they'll turn up when they get hungry.

Running late but the countdown must go on, or I'm sure I've heard someone say that, somewhere. Anyway, something, something & life getting in the way.

I'm just hoping that this isn't what's left of this year's Santa. Though if the mouse & snake think they can do a better job, I'm not going to stop them.

A close up sketch of a skull in Santa hat & full Santa beard & moustache. As the skull & facial hair fill most of the page we only see the white trim & a bit of the fabric of the hat to the left of the skull the tip of the hat curves into view with it's white fluffy bauble.
In the eye socket to the left we see a mouse peering out, front paws gripping the eye socket edge. In the one on the right, a stripy snake is slithering it's way out, curving downwards & towards the left, it's head almost level with the grinning teeth poking out from between tache & beard. Below the mouth, 10 Days, has been written on the beard. The bottom tip of the beard is off the page.

This quick doodle is of the demigorgon from Netflix's Stranger Things.
It's human like in form, head, two arms, hands, torso, two legs & feet. Where it's face should be it has a gaping maw almost large enough to fit a human head in. Around it are five large petal like flaps of flesh that can fold up over each other to cover the maw completely. They & the maw are edged with lots of sharp teeth.
It's body & limbs are crisscrossed with lines of vines some thin, some almost branch like in thickness & with a tree root like texture.
We see most of the creature as it faces the viewer but only down to the top half of the legs.
It's arms are held slightly forwards but low & each hand holds one half of a torn sheet of paper. One the left half it reads: 11, on the right half it says: Days! One letter written beneath the other.
Across the top of the image are the words: Samhain / Halloween Countdown 2025
