The Flying Heads

The Iroquois Tribe’s Winged, Torsoless & Undead Monsters with Tangled Hair and a Taste for People

So the origin story on these guys is all over the board, so let’s suffice it to say something dramatic happened ala mass murder, betrayal of tribal law, cannibalism etc and from it’s horror was birthed The Flying Heads or as they are sometimes know the Big Heads, or Whirlwinds.

Basically what we’ve got here are giant floating disembodied heads with glowing fiery eyes (sometimes with wings sometimes without). Said to be about as tall as a man from chin to scalp, covered in tangled messy hair that ends in talons or claws or has the look thereabouts or hell maybe its just hard to see tentacles on a giant floating head in the dark? … I trust you can figure it out… But know this, they thirst for blood or vengeance, they fly around being big, being scary and my guess is without pants.

The First Place Flying Head Entry

Oh man! And that is a twisted muscular handed tongue with a cross in hand, and not a recently consumed preacher right? And the lil satellite heads! So good! and dammit if I don’t need to go listen to some old “thrash” records now…

Judge’s Commentary – I really appreciate the level of detail, terror, and scale on this one which is why it gets first place. I especially like the hair tentacles holding the bloody heads of it’s victims, which seem to be quite a few. Pray that you are not next.

The Second Place Flying Head Entry

Hey that terrifying flying head sorta has my nose! Good tangle of locks, talons and horror and i like if you squint it still looks a lil like a really socially awkward hot air balloon!

Judge’s Commentary – The anatomical details like the nose, bags under the eyes, and bird-like claws make this a close runner up and the obvious choice for second place. What kind of mouth, fangs, and forked tongue lie in wait behind that collar? What mysterious horror will eat victims alive? I don’t want to ever find out. Okay fine, maybe I do but just in a drawing.

The Third Place Flying Head Entry

On this very night, ten years ago, along this same stretch of road in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen…

Judge’s Commentary – In contrast to first and second place, this entry won me over by it’s simplicity mixed with the minimal and confident lines used to draw the character. At first glance it looks like the head is being chased, but I like to think it’s looking back at the mangled, still warm remains of it’s last victim as it howls an echoing shrill into the midnight sky.

Man I’m kind of digging the mindbendingness of this… kinda like a horse who’s just eaten what it thought was an apple but instead it was a space eating singularity… Plus good fiery eyes!

It’s funny, if someone were to tell you that ear wings looked perfectly practical, you’d never beleive em… but ear wings look perfectly practical! Also it humorously looks a lil like a ghost of that troublesome Boone biting beast from Nightbreed

Now I get being aware of that one on the right as he looks shifty as hell, but that one on the left just looks like a pretty straight laced flying skull, guilt by association is my guess!

Now I’m on to you, this is most obviously just a picture of a doped up, flying rabbit shark turned sideways!

We Have a Bulletin!

“Sally quickly realized that she should have trusted the wise old Carny, and chosen any prize other than the giant balloons.” – Yeah I’m pretty sure the rule is you can trust a carny about what not to do in the present, just don’t trust them as say a life coach! God I love her hands and how many strings there are here!

Man that bottom expression is good, simultaneously drenched with horror, regret and if he wore pants I’d think he’d have pooped them… but you know he’s really just thinking about his last lil bit of hunger for peoples never getting quelled!

The Flying Heads Entry # 8

Yes, someone accidentally left their non-photo blue pencil on the default “adorable as f*ck” setting! I love when that happens! … oh and, laugh it up furball!

The Flying Heads Entry # 9

The Flying Heads Entry # 9

This is probably just an owl carrying a flaming, vampiric, scarecrow head in it’s beak, but if not, it’s freaking terrifying! Kinda loving the hollow lantern eyes here and good scary raptor claws too!

The Flying Heads Entry # 10

The Flying Heads Entry # 10

I call this one “8th Grade”… I mean, I suppose to really be 8th grade that would be a flaming skull back there… but we weren’t drawing those now were we?!

The Flying Heads Entry # 11

See I sorta like to read this the wrong way and pretend that the next captions is “but Da-aaaaad you know i cant run…. i don’t have any legs and my stupid wings are too small for my giant purple floating head!”… Good hellworm teeth in that flying heads maw btw!

The Flying Heads Entry # 12

Hey I’m relatively positive this is supposed to be a “SneuBat”! So question… how does one tuck their hair behind their ear with no arms?

The Flying Heads Entry # 14

The Flying Heads Entry # 14

Oooh good beard talons! At first I thought it was the longer hair making him seem slightly motherly this time around, but I’m going with that sparkle in his right eye just reads as especially friendly… the other one still reads murderer… but its not looking in our direction so I’m not worried!

The Flying Heads Entry # 15

The Flying Heads Entry # 15

Man do folks still “brand ” their varietals of acid? cause if so, you may have just created one that will stick! Such a good combo of startling awareness, understanding and horror! Also I’m not entirely sure its left ear isn’t melting off… or maybe that’s just a flashback…

The Flying Heads Entry # 17

The Flying Heads Entry # 17

Haha dammit you got me! I was trying to post this one straight faced and i just couldn’t! Look at those un focused and soul-less cat eyes, and those lil elbows up pincher arms! Came with caption “Nobody seeks vengeance like cats seek vengeance.”
