MonstersGo! Dragon Kitty

May 20, 2022May 20, 2022Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago, while waiting for a response from a client on a project, I created this MonstersGo piece. It was based on a child’s drawing by a kid named Violet. Then, when I was almost finished, I got my client response and had to get back to real work. I popped it up on Instagram real quick, I but didn’t bother with my other social media at the time. Well, now that project’s finished, so I can get back to sharing this little dragon kitty all the places I normally share stuff. Here you go!

Monsters Go – Lily N.

Today I participated in the Monsters Go illustration prompt. That’s where professional illustrators recreate monsters drawn by children.

This week’s art was by a kid named Lily N. Here was her drawing:

A child's crayon drawing of a monster by kid artist Lily N. It's a purple monster with a lot of eyes, blue feet, and turquoise shaggy things in it's hands. — Art by Lily N.

And here’s my version of it:

My version of the many-eyed monster from the previous drawing in a professional style. I interpreted the shaggy things to be some furry things it's juggling. They also have eyes. — Art by Karen B. Jones

And here’s a link to Monsters Go on Instagram.

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.

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.

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.
