Well, here's my take on the Misunderstood Monster.

Hi everyone!
I'm new here on SVS and the forum but I'm really liking this place a lot! Great people and amazing art! Can't wait to take one of the courses
Here is my Misunderstood monster for the October challenge, hope you'll like it!

"The big Forest Monster's main task was to scare everybody away, including small creatures, so he just couldn't understand what he was doing wrong. They just kept climbing on to him, nesting and falling asleep and stuff. Couldn't they see how big and dangerous he was!?"

Please come with constructive criticism and tips! I'm new with digital painting but really wanna learn more!

@louisedamiano I LOVE this monster! So pensive and I love the shape of its body. The colors are wonderful. Awesome work!!

[MOO]

@louisedamiano I really like the post mark too. Great composition

[Branden Brushett]

@pilonya such a good idea! Must be hard to be a monster with technology now days.

[Pilonya]

@branden-brushett Thank you! I think it has never been easy for monsters, and now it's even worse..poor little hairy creatures

I did a slightly different interpretation of the theme. Aldo Leopold was an instrumental figure in the early US conservation movement and he said that he originally viewed wolves as predators to be feared and eradicated but then came to a new understanding of them after he shot a mother wolf. He wrote:

“We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.”

I did this as a traditional watercolor and Procreate digital composite.

Quick sketch of, in my opinion, the ultimate misunderstood monster, Frankenstein's Monster.
