@smceccarelli thanks. Would love to see the recording of the fish head. I follows your youtube channel. great work, and thanks for sharing.

No 6. Boneway Man? Highway Boneman? With or without cloak?

[Sas]

@smceccarelli With. Love it!

[Julia]

ahah! without!

[chrisaakins]

@smceccarelli with!

[demotlj]

I'm leaning toward "with" because he kind of looks like he forgot his pants in the one without the cloak. On the other hand, the staff and boots are more visible in the one without.

[Chip Valecek]

I like it with the cloak. Without looks like something is missing.

[LauraA]

@smceccarelli With, both because it looks more balanced (nothing missing) and because you can still see the skeleton just fine with. Also adds a certain Jack Sparrow elegance!

@smceccarelli

I'm a big fan of 'with cloak'. Without the cloak he reads as more of a pirate to me.

[smceccarelli]

Still some work to do on this one: Jack Glow-worm

[burvantill]

@smceccarelli with! For certain.

[Sas]

@smceccarelli Hahaha this is so cool! I love how his eyes are peeking up from over the pumpkin.

No 8 - Mad Brain
I’m still traveling, but soon I’m back in the studio and I will upload some time-lapse of these, as promised.

[A Former User]

Oh wow I really love your characters, the texturing is wonderful, it really looks traditional! I'll definitely be trying those brushes
Would love to see all of them together at the end!

[smceccarelli]

No 9 - I thought I’d call this “The Sha-woman”, but then, maybe it´s not appropriate. So,“Animal spirit”? “Forest Priestess”?

[burvantill]

@smceccarelli What about Shwaman?...Shwoman?
Your art makes me smile.

No 10 - The Octo-Boss

Note and question: I will start posting these on social media tonight at midnight CEST (yes, it´s 13 days to Halloween!!) and I’m giving away a print of choice among all the characters (or the group shot at the end) to two randomly picked followers (not yet decided if two for Instagram and two for Twitter or one and one).
So, if you were teetering about following me or not on social media, this may be the right moment to do so ;-)) . Instagram is simona.ceccarelli, Twitter is @smceccarelli.

And the question is: how do you randomly select a follower on Instagram? I see there are apps to do it on Twitter, but I haven’t figured out how to do it on Instagram. Or do you just go to your follower list, close your eyes and jab at the screen?

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

I absolutely love the colors

[LauraA]

@smceccarelli Hee hee! I particularly like this one--the texture and color variation, the volume, the way the tentacles trail off into curls, the plethora of suction cups (or whatever you call them), the goofy eyes.

Sorry, I have no idea how to randomly select a follower, though!

No 11: The Beach Monster....
