Illustration Friday – Shadow


My version of the Slender Man.

Happy Halloween!
This is my submission for Illustration Friday’s prompt of creature.
And here’s something completely different. Bear and Coyote. I think Coyote shouldn’t have stolen Bear’s fish. But Coyote, being the trickster he is, will get out of it somehow. 

Full Disclosure:
I should mention that, although this is in a tribal style with Native American folklore characters, I’m not a member of any indigenous nation. I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking I identify as a Native Artist.
I don’t plan to do any more in this style because I’m worried that it counts as cultural appropriation. I did this one because I think the style is beautiful and I wanted to see what I could do with it. I really like how it turned out and it’s my own idea and my own story, but it isn’t in a style I have a cultural connection with. I don’t want to upset anyone and I can see how it might, so I’ll limit myself to just this one.

Here’s a quick little sketch for Illustration Friday.

He’s worn a rut in the yard with all that pacing.
I realized I’ve never posted any realistic portraits of people to this blog. So, I created this just to show I can. It’s a portrait of my daughter Katie. It’s drawn in Photoshop using a photo I took a few weeks ago as reference. This is an actual digital drawing, not a Photoshop filter trick.
It also counts for this week’s Illustration Friday prompt of Children. Well, child, anyway.

This week’s Illustration Friday prompt is one of my suggestions. Isn’t that nice? 


So, I made a DeviantArt Fella months ago with Photoshop because I wanted to see how well I could mimic vector art. Well, now that I have Illustrator, I wanted to do one the proper way. So, I made this.
Oh, it also counts for Illustration Friday’s theme, which is eyeglasses.


Because llamas have wool.
