Loved the blog. Are these all your own imagination or drawn from the world of comics/graphic novels?

The illustration are based on a TCG from my country, all the text are mine own invention, next batch of hunter im working in, some are barely inspired on historical figures/events, videogames like nightmare creatures or castlevania, some films and novels.
