Color Version of Inktober #26

November 1, 2020October 21, 2020Leave a comment

So, I finished the Inktober series, but I wanted to go back and finish off some of them in color. Here’s the first one I colored. Inktober #26 – Hide.

A cartoon of a boy hiding behind a door while a big purple tentacle searches for him.

I don’t know how that got into his house, but I don’t blame him for hiding.

Doesn’t he have an honest smile? What could possibly go wrong?

I drew this today.

Tentacle Monster Version 2

August 6, 2018August 6, 2018Leave a comment

I added some swirls and magic sparkles to this one I did awhile ago.  I think this looks better.  And it hides the fact that I didn’t really bother to include an actual background.  Just a color.

Tentacle Monster

July 5, 2018July 5, 2018Leave a comment

Here’s a girl with a glowing (probably magic) sword fighting some sort of tentacle monster.

It maybe needs some magic sparkles or swirls, but I’m happy with it for now.  I may add a few more magic effects later.  I dunno.  I’ll think about it.

Extra Eye

February 22, 2018April 6, 2018Leave a comment

Drew this for fun today.  No particular reason.  Just had the idea in my head.  I didn’t quite get the angles right, I think.  Close, though.  Since this is just a personal little doodle (not paying work) I’ll leave it.

Why the B?

Karen Jones is such common name that it won’t surprise you to learn that I’m not the only Karen Jones around.  In fact, I’m not even the only children’s illustrator named Karen Jones!  That’s why I include the B.
