Lipstick Monster

 This is Marselina the Make-up Monster.  She's very small, lives inside a lipstick tube, leaves pink footprints wherever she goes...

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?!

Fairylights Muncher

These are more ideas for the conversation piece brief. I really like the top one although I might put a background in it like some stripy wallpaper or something. I'm not sure that it needs it though.I need to work on faces a lot more. i do not like the one below as much and I am not sure that it works as well for the brief but never mind.
And yay for my 'Ottoline and the yellow cat' book arriving today! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! (for midnight)
