In an attempt to beat the oppressive boredom of Neba, Japan in January, Audrey and I took a digital stroll down memory lane and played through some old DOS games we liked as kids. She said the mummy in Gobliiins gave her nightmares. Of course now the mummy looks pretty tame, and is likely not the del Toro-esque incubus that haunted her childhood. I sketched up a version that maintained the goofiness of the original design but is also grotesque enough to bring back some uneasiness for anyone frightened of it in days of yore.
