Here's an illustration about the history of the Jack o' Lantern. At this part of the story, Jack traps the Devil in a tree by carving a cross in it. He won't scratch it out and let him down until the Devil promises not to bother him the rest of his life.
This is sort of inspired by Mike Mignola, but more so just folklore in general. I like how much research Mignola puts into his comics. For those of you you not "in the know," Mike Mignola writes the Hellboy comic series, and he's boss.
Done for my Illustration Professional Practice Class with Carrie Hartmann.
