Illustration Friday - Polar




This week's Illustration Friday was "polar." I couldn't narrow it down to just one idea this week, so I decided to do two. The first one is called "Polar Nightmare." It is a penguin gone bad. He has viciously sharp teeth, and unusually sharp claws. When I did the background for this I tried to use the same technique that my mom did when she did a polar bear some time back. At the top I was trying to do the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealus. It's on ebay now.

The second one is a polar "Yetti". I got this idea while reading my Mythical Monsters book. I modeled mine more after Bigfoot than a Yetti. They look good together and I used the same technique as I did with the penguin. It's also on ebay.

Both are ACEO size (2.5x3.5 inches) done with watercolor and pen and ink.
