Description
A monster under the bed who enjoys playing Jazz instead of scaring little kids. The kid still doesn't get much sleep though...Water color and ink on water color paper,
My concept and work, no stealing.

very cool. The posture and little flourishes on the design of the monster coupled with a simple but expressive bed and kid, really make this fun. Needs to be in a card set or in a book of more inappropriate monsters that aren't scary but strange

Thank ya for the comment!
I was thinking he should be a part of a storybook, I just haven't figured out the best way to do that book yet....

Thanks, aside from a suit a few sizes too small I thought that was a simple touch to his character.

This is a fantastic concept. It might be a little TOO blue, but it makes the scene feel softer.

the pronounced shadows and highlights look amazing, they also scanned really well too. Very cool & fun design.

Thanks! I'm actually pretty content with how this turned out, though I'd like to try and have the light on the tail/leg a little softer next time...

HA! Make more of these. Seeing this makes me think you could make a marvelous children's book, and tbh... Maybe you should o_o Those sort of things are always appreciated. Hell, I'm still stuck on Stone Soup (old childrens book) mentally, because I still smile when Ilook at it for some stupid reason XD;

I think I've heard of stone soup before....but I can't place it... I guess I could do a children's book, I'd just need to either think of a book to write or find someone I could illustrate for-both I found out aren't quite so easy.

Who said you needed to do all of that? Make a few more images of similar monsters at bedtime maybe, and find a publisher telling thme you're interested in making a book out of the images. Odds are if they're actually interested, they'll show you what to do, how to do it, or even do it for you.

I tried showing my work to some writing groups. Nothing yet. That's not gonna stop me from doing more sometime though.

You definitely have the potential, so I think your future really is in your own hands v^^ Keep trying, I'll want your first copy for my kids if you make a childrens' book.

Now all I have to do is convince myself of that.

Haha, don't believe in yourself, believe in me, John, who believes in you! XD; sorry, couldn't resist. You should be more confident though, this is definitely your thing. v^^ I'm still looking for mine @_@;
