Monster-A-Day

The Neo-Reaper 
Media: Pastel on paper
The media I used was that I used pastel. The technique I used was that I used my finger for smudging the pastel on the right to create a shadow.
I liked the fact that it looks amazingly cool and I liked using the pastel because it felt different compared to my pencil work. The thing I would like to change is that I would have added red on the blade. 
 The Dell-o 
Media: Watercolor on Paper
The techniques I used was that I used watercolour and decided to make it a jello possessed by the devil. It took me two days and two classes to finish it.
I liked that it looks ghoulish and that it's red. The thing I would like to change is that I should have made the fingers a bit more like claws.  
 George Gargoyle 
Media: Watercolor on paper
The techniques I used was that I used watercolour and traced with a pencil a photo of a Gargoyle statue.  I first started painting the head, then I did the ears, the body came after that, then wings, and finally added the red background.
I liked that the face looks a bit realistic and that the bat ears are done creatively. I would like to add the arms because all gargoyles have arms! 
 Neo-Reaper (Watercolor version)
Media: Same as before.
The techniques I used was that I did another picture of the Neo-Reaper but with watercolour. So I used black and red watercolours and came up with this. I used a lot of water to apply the paint. I used a thinner brush for the blood stain on the blade.
I liked that the face was at least intimidating I liked the robe was black. I would like to fix the entire picture though because I thought the first one was better.

  1. The thing I like about your monsters is that they are quite different from each other. The Dell-O is a brilliant concept of using the texture and colour of jello to create a ghost and the gargoyle looks very realistic indeed. Your Neo-Reapers are also a neat combo of old and new and I admire that you tried the same monster with two different media to see how they each worked. One has the shadowy smudge of chalk pastel that feels eery and ethereal while the other is more solid with thick ink and would be difficult to escape while running down a dark alley. Great stuff!
