Milk the Glitter Monster

We have been creating monsters for one of our next projects which has actually been really hard! I underestimated how difficult it would be to invent something that looks original and I still havn't cracked it!This is a glitter monster. You would find it in ugly, desolate, dark places where it will do it's best to breathe a bit of life into the place. Compositionally it's not quite right because of that curvy black pipe that looks like it's coming out of it's nose! Also I am not sure it really fits in well with the surrounding. It's head/face is apparantly too cutesy as well. twee, whatever you want to call it. ALSO the collage isn't that great. I was quite pleased with this until I went to my crit but now I see all the flaws and I don't like it so much any more!My tutors preferred these:I am thinking I might do a book, concertina book, poster of ink blot monsters now instead?!

The Fairy Melusina

I am still working working working on the pages for my 'Fairy Melusina' book. This^ is the cardboard castle that Melusina lives in, in the attic of a tall green house. I can't upload any double page spreads yet cos my scanner isn't big enough.
This is the one other single page illustration I've done, where Melusina has stuck multicoloured feathers to Mrs Needleskins eyelashes whilst she is asleep.
