Illustration Friday: Carry

Why a monkey, alien, and robot? It's just a thing with me, I guess.

Made with GIMP 2.8 / GIMP Paint Studio + Wacom

IF: Suspend

IF: Suspend... Maybe this guy should be hanging from his tail?

Illustration Friday: Return

Thinking about what to do with your tax return? Where will you put your money?

 This was a lot of fun to do. It's all vector graphics, in SVG format. Created with Inkscape.

Illustration Friday: Separated

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Separated". I had some grand plans to do something based on something in the news but never got around to it. Instead I'm having fun with one of my favorite topics, robots!

Illustration Friday: Brigade

This week's topic is "brigade". I couldn't think of a good image to go with in time, but I was still in the holiday spirit so I imagined the "elf brigade" at Santa's workshop.

Traced with Inkscape then colored with GIMP.

Illustration Friday: Star gazing

Sketch...

Final...

Had way too much fun working on the reflections and shadows here. Made with GIMP & Inkscape.

Illustration Friday: Flying

This week's topic is "Flying".

Coloring and background done with GIMP.

Illustration Friday: Adapt

The giraffe is a good example of adaptation.

Image created in 1.5 hours with The GIMP.

Illustration Friday: Cracked

it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Created with Inkscape.

Illustration Friday: Parade

Here he is. When I think of a parade, I think of clowns.

I confess I didn't even draw this until Thursday, and rushed to get the coloring done on time. Somehow I've got to find more time to work on these.

Hand drawn. Lines and colors done with Inkscape.

Illustration Friday: Talisman

This is my very first post to the Illustration Friday. I had some big plans for this but never got around to it. I would have preferred to have some gems or some markings on the talisman itself. I almost didn't post it at all, but perhaps by doing so I will stay motivated to do more of these in the future.

Drawn by hand then colored with GIMP.
