Hey! Here's an excitable, candy hungry Piñata monster I created for a new kids' game called 'Bo Bo Bon'. Coming soon, from Ravensburger!

#illustration #3d #art #cgi #monster
a 3D/CGI rendered illustration of a blue and green cartoon monster character on a bright orange/yellow background. They are looking directly at the viewer with their mouth open wide and an excited/happy expression, with their hands/claws raised toward their mouth. Their large teeth have braces and the fur on their body is strips of piñata style paper. They also have two small pink stripey horns.

Just published a book.

Think it's good.

People say it is.

But really need to sell more copies.

Please grab one. Cheap!

A fiery bit of visual comfort now that winter is abruptly come.
Watercolour painting of an autumn leaf, in fiery red and gold; redder for most of the leaf's lower half, with dark rust spots scattered all over.

Love #illustration?
Love cool stuff?
Love sticking art on your wall to make your guests jealous?
Love supporting an indie creator that is so non-AI that they still draw in pencil & ink?

I fancied getting back into sculpting which I hadn't done since school. This was based on my Pedro monster I did for one of my books (first pic). SO MUCH FUN. He keeps an eye on me in the studio now. #monster #sculpture #airdryclay #cutemonster #sillymonster #funny #pinkbottom
watercolour painting of a fat little monster with a pink bottom. Sitting as a dog might sit on its haunches and looking back at us (so we can see his bum) with three orange eyes and a grin and two long ears. He is purple with a green belly and his bum is pink. sculpture of a fat little monster with a pink bottom, green belly and purple back.

Gouache painting of a caricatured European Green Woodpecker. I say 'caricatured'- his head's just bigger than normal, which helps to show off his fancy red mohawk. Original reference photo was from the Bird Whisperer monthly challenge.

It's a BUSY few days for DUCKS!

The film will be screening as part of @pictoplasma.bsky.social's London event tomorrow (I will be there!). Then as part of the Norwich Film Festival on the 8th (I will be there!). Then a second Pictoplasma outing, this time in Brighton as part of BIF, on the 9th.
A still from my 3D/CGI animated short film ‘DUCKS’. It features a small child, peering around the side of a stroller, looking at the camera with a curious expression.

A bit of silliness from 2021.

Kong's first line is taken directly from the 2007 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford.
Single-panel comic drawn in brown pencil. Godzilla and King Kong sit facing each other on mounds of rocks, taking tea, with an elegant tea set on the ground between them. Kong: 'What is all this agitation? Are the summer gloves come in?' Godzilla, waving an unfolded letter with a ribbon and sealing wax: 'Why, an invitation, to be sure! To Mothra's garden party!' Kong: *Gasp!*

Here are some other, TERRIFYING, creatures that I've also made. For some reason, they're all looking straight at you... Do NOT hold their gaze! 😰

Halloween is almost upon us so I'm going to post some MONSTERS! Here's one of my contributions to the themonsterproject.org, a project where kids create hundreds of monsters & artists from all over the world put their spin on them.

This was 2017 & the original artist is Reagan!

#monster #3d #art
A 2d colour pencil drawing, a green monster with a red tail, blue and red horns and multiple eyes is in the centre of the page, with a bright yellow moon and black night sky A3D CGI interpretation of the previous image. Exterior, night in some woods. A father and their kid are sat around a campfire, the kid is excitedly reading from a book of monsters and the Dad is looking up in terror as a giant green monster with multiple eyes bursts out from the bushes

I could have a little drawing in the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social this week.

Think I'll do something never done before & put the original drawing up for sale at davidziggygreene.bigcartel.com later this week.
