Kid Vs Octomonsta! A nice fun illustration, re-using old characters :)

 

Left; original drawing.                        Right; coloured in Photoshop.

 

 First draft, Sketches for illustration.

Illustration based on some characters devised at University.

 

A Christmas card I did for a close friend Karen, based on a Monkey & Crab.

 

 And here are Monkey & Crab in reality :) The monkey was made by the very talented Karen Hazeldine (from socks I believe) and the crab is a toy of hers too, so it seemed right to add these lovely characters to her card/illustration. Plus I enjoyed every minute of doing this work - such fun ^^

Original hand drawn sketch, before scanned and coloured.

 

First initial idea studies in notebook. As you can see, the original concept involved a rope and a panda "for some reason!!" Then as you can also see, I decided on crab instead. GOOD CHOICE I FEEL ^^ 

I was listening to the radio today, and the song: All by myself was playing, and I thought to myself 'how depressing it would be if this was a Christmas single!' Thus in turn gave me the idea for this fun little piece. :D For those out there with no one this Christmas. BE THANKFUL.  



 

Thumbnail sketches for All by myself - made in Notebook.

 

 More general sketch ideas - Snow angel, next to another snow angel, but just the outline!

Another idea with one single handing the hand of another, but the other would be see through, like the ghost of someone not there anymore!

 

     Original finished drawing - before colour added.. As you can see, it had eyes! I felt they weren't needed in the end.

 

Another piece playing on the word: Nothing on again! Just for fun, trying to look at things differently in interpretation.

 

Drawing before colour added :)

 First sketch for TV and chair.

 First thumbnail idea for this silly illustration!
