Sample of Cthulhu illustrations for a fun book about H.P Lovecraft. A Lovecraft/Cthulhu for Dummies kind of thing. Just over twenty illustrations for the book, and a coloring book is in the works!

Evil Granny

2009-07-10T07:55:00.001-07:00

This is Evil Granny. She looks sweet and nurturing on the outside, but don’t be fooled. On the inside she’s evil and menacing. She eats children for breakfast.

Blue eyes linear tape illustration. (Click for larger image)

I've had the idea of doing an illustration such as the one above for a few years now but just haven't found the time to do so. Well a couple weeks ago someone shared the art of iri5 with me (Cool art!) and I realized I better hurry up and do my linear take on the same genre before it becomes old hat.

You can read more about this and see the process at my art blog.

Doodling what my cat would look like in a sweater. He already has enough fur, that's for sure.

This is the sketch for the painting I'm working on at the moment between jobs. In fact it's been on and off my drawing table for a month now and really hope to finish it very soon

Desktop

2009-07-08T06:58:00.000-07:00

I decided to take one of my previous illo's and convert it into a desktop. I loved the black on white design of the illo so much I thought it would look good as a wallpaper. So I tested it for a few days on my computer and the design didn't bother me. I tend to like desktops where the design is not to in your face or distracting. Although for some, having a man staring at them may be distracting. Oh well, I just hope some of you enjoy it.
You can download it via my Deviant Art account at this link.
Enjoy!

The sketch was done as a doodle in a meeting. The painting was done several months later after a bit of a debate in my head whether the painting would do the doodle justice. It never hurts to give it a try.

Okay, I'm only doing this because Jeff asked so nicely. :) Normally I'd be too self-conscious to share.

I'm learning to sketch. To be honest, I haven't kept a sketchbook/art journal since college, which was nearly 10 years ago. I know, I know. Bad Melissa! Bad Melissa! So I made a vow to fill my journal by the end of 2009. Daily doodles about the mundane aspects of life. Practicing is the first step, right? Eight pages down, 152 to go. Here's yesterday's entry:

I actually drew this on the 6th, but I obviously don't know how to read a calendar.

I recently started a new sketchbook as part of my daily sketch exercise. I am devoting this one exclusively to maps. Some of the maps will be of real places and some will be entirely fictional. Most will not really resemble the places that they represent, but will be extremely accurate.

Above is a map of the flight of a huge beetle that came into my studio the other day. You can see more of my maps and read about this adventure on my blog.

Introducing dj kidd...

And here is the inked version...

Poor little blue girl, always falling for the wrong guy. But what else do you expect from a girl who has always worn her heart on her sleeve?

This was actually based off an old illustration that I decided to ink and update a bit. Here is what the original sketch looked like.

Sketch - This week's challenge is a fun one! There's something about the raw, unpolished sketches that we all do while working out an illustration that I just love. I urge you to post some of those sketches this week as part of the challenge. Post the finished product too if you'd like, that would be awesome!

The SFG Challenge was created to challenge every member to stretch their creative muscles, venture outside of their artistic boundaries and post their interpretations each week on a specific theme. You are enthusiastically encouraged to participate!

Don't forget to label your posts!

Have a great week!

I'm a little bored with the world of fantasy illustration being populated by the same old elvish warriors, same old scantly-clad sorceresses, same old brutish, drooling orcs. It's about time someone romanticized the more mundane aspects of the fantasy realm. Hence, I've illustrated the important but under-appreciated art of gnomish accountancy.

Next up: secretarial trolls.
