To distract you all from the fact that I've only drawn about 5 out of 30 things for Inktober and currently have negative nine days to finish the rest, let's get hyped for Northwest Mansion Showdown!

Well, not exactly because I wasn't ambitious enough to try their fancy outfits, but hey, have this!

"Come, let's tiptoe into the dark
One good scare ought to do it
You'll find our bite much worse than our bark
One good scare ought to do you some good..."

I accidentally aged them up a little, so whoops it's next winter now. Mabel still wears her orange coat. She likes her orange coat.

Gideon's father has gone missing, and while the guy is still definitely a contestant on Gravity Rises' Worst Dad, it's still pretty creepy to wake up and not have a parent there. And on top of it all, the mansion is doing some very weird things again. Gideon called in some backup. (Well, kind of. Mabel wanted to come help investigate and even Mr. Lone Wolf secretly feels better when he has someone with him.)

Meanwhile, even Gideon's backup has backup, because Dipper is lurking outside the mansion trying to keep an eye on his sister.

(It's not working. He's stuck wandering around outside with Waddles. The mansion is way harder to sneak into than he thought.)

(or, in which Dipper makes a deal with a ghost to give Mabel and Gideon a Halloween they'll never forget, and the ghost delivers.)

(And here's it without the blurry filter that I accidentally saved the above one with:)

(PicsArt is super fun to use on drawings—you can add shadows and filters to make it almost look like you digitally colored it—but it's sO EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY SAVE THE PICTURE WITH A WEIRD RED/BLUE 3D GLASSES BLUR TO IT. Sorry about that in the first one; the lines were a lot cleaner without it.)

In other news, I finally drew a Gideon that looks somewhat like Gideon! References are worth their weight in chocolate, guys. Go references. XD
