      Hey Everyone,

      Currently working on some fun creatures in watercolor!
      Would like to know what you think about them.
      Opinions & suggestions are much appreciated!

      Ghost Kitty.

        @Darian This has so much character, and it is beautifully rendered! I would love to see more fun creatures in this style. 🤗 As for suggestions: I'm wondering if they'd all be of a particular theme? Are they all ghost creatures? Hehe

          @Darian This is so cool! Love it!! Your watercolour technique is gorgeous.

          I agree with @animatosoor 's suggestions about making them all ghost creatures! Either that or maybe do all the hues with different creatures for each?

          Can't wait to see the rest!!!!

            @Darian This is very neat! I love the silhouette and the way you're playing with shapes! Just like was mentioned above, I would also like to see the future ones fitting a theme. Great work!

              Thank you everyone!

              @animatosoor @Alicja-W @ShannonBiondi ..Oh the ghost theme would be so much fun!

              I'm thinking of using a color for sets of 3 illustrations. I think that gives consistency as well as variety. What's say?

                @Darian I say "here, here"! That sounds like a great way to do it.

                    Which one do you like more? the blue eyed seaunicorn or the white eyed seaunicorn? About to upload to social media in some time!

                      @Darian I like the white eyed. The blue eyed seahorse almost looks accidental or unfinished.

                          I vote white-eyed too. Fits with the cat better.

                          These are great!

                            @Darian I vote white-eyed seaunicorn. It has a clean, finished look. These are lovely!

                              I agree with others about the white eye. It is a much easier read. I really like the texture in these.

                                @Darian Hey Darian, very cool creatures! I love how much personality the ghost kitty has. They reminded me of the work of the Dutch illustrator Paul Faassen, he makes some awesome birds. I hope they will be inspiration for you 🙂
