This was a tremendously fun project to do. The theme, Explore the Unknown, was meant to refer to all sorts of fun cryptozoological, mythical, and sci-fi subjects. Included in this piece is a UFO with Roswell-style aliens, a unicorn, a big foot, the Loch Ness Monster, a kraken, and a mermaid. The font is Black Pearl by JoannaVu.
Okay, those waves were really bugging me. So I tried again. Much better now, I think. 🙂
It’s on shutterstock now, if you’re interested. Click here
I was playing with image composition and lighting. Not entirely happy with the waves, but a fun image to draw. 🙂
Here’s the same image as a night scene with the aurora borealis.
Cedar Lake Park in Olathe, KS.
Here’s another collection from my Wisconsin trip. Mostly rocks and water in black and white. Most of them are from the shore of Lake Superior in Duluth. Yes, I know that’s not in Wisconsin. But it’s on the way. The first three are from Sister Bay, which is in Wisconsin.
Some of these are available as prints.
Aliyah, a fan who saw a previous post on this blog, requested “a cartoony crocodile lying on a river bank.” I’m not sure if this is exactly what she meant, but here it is.
