Illustration Friday : Monster

This weeks illustration Friday topic was MONSTER, which was great as I draw these quite a lot. Not entirely sure where this one came from, it was originally going to be an octopus with a pumpkin head but as I was drawing it the tentacles started to look like bones. so its a kind of Halloween illustration.
This is straight from the sketchbook and then coloured or rather shaded in OpenCanvas, which is the best sketching package I have found,makes Photoshop look completely cumbersome.

Wow - I really like that one. I’ve got to come up with ideas for black and white ATC’s at the moment.
Bitten off a bit more …as per b**** usual!
Maybe I’ll have a go at something along these lines!
