it writhes and slithers and feels like a tongue.
toreadorkable suggested i draw the first ‘monster of the month’ character i ever designed, two and a half years ago: a smoke & shadow monster i named sau. it was a fun blast to the past and the eerie green light + the way you can glimpse his skeleton through his semi-transparent body makes it perfect for the season. however, for reasons that are hard to pinpoint, this piece is slightly outside my comfort zone. i think it’s the vibrant, glowy, almost neon colours, the very high contrasts, and something about the palette. i’m not sure i’m 100% pleased with it — but i’m at least 90% pleased and that’s good enough! on to new projects!
