Illustration Friday: Hats

'Hats' was an interesting prompt – I initially had a great idea, but then completely forgot it during the course of a day. Must write these things down! Anyway, I then got to thinking about what would be the most unpleasant thing to wear as a hat. I was going to do a series, but ... well, you never know. And as the prompt was 'hats,' I thought there needed to be another hat in the image...

Illustration Friday: Trick...

Thought I'd challenge myself to go a bit darker for this week's IF prompt (Trick or Treat). So I chose a couple of characters from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, a former school project I'm revamping a little. This is Croup – he's a hired assassin, described as being fox (with sharp teeth, of course). Early on in the book Croup sacrifices another character in the book, and compares him to the canaries they used to send down mines. The canary comes to an unfortunate end. Croup's partner in crime, Vandemar, is the nastier of the two, and is yet to come. I don't think he's really a treat, but hopefully he'll be fun to draw too!
