Monster Monday is evolving

I've been drawing creatures for Monster Monday since Febuary. They have ranged from new creatures to sketches. Ever since I finished The Other People, I've been waiting to create long term project, but not as long as 7 months like I had to create my first book. While I have been conceptualizing work for The Iron Halls, it's quickly becoming a bigger project then what I want right now. So I thought of creating more finalized pieces for Monster Monday and work outside of my comfort zone. I mostly draw humanoid type creatures but for the next few months I am going to do my take on legendary monsters. I've compiled a list of a few creatures but am looking for suggestions on interesting creatures I've missed or have no knowledge of. 

potential monsters

dragon, phoenix, griffin, manticore, sphinx, chimera, hippogriff, cockatrice, harpy, and hippocampus.

Feel free to recommend any legendary monsters I am missing.

I want to get the project done by early August so I can get a few printed copies to bring with me to Illuxcon in September. Onwards to sketching.

Gallery Show

Glad to say that the review of my thesis went very well a few weeks ago and my work will be exhibited in the Senior Show. The show runs from May 21-24 at the George Segal Gallery next to Kasser Theater on Montclair State Campus.

Now that classes are done with, I'll have a lot more time to continue working on my portfolio and my next planned book. Follow me on twitter (PMCillustration) or on facebook, click the box in the right corner of the page. to see frequent updates on new pieces as I finish them.

'The Other People'- Troll page

Trolls are one of my favorite monsters to draw and I wasn't going to leave them out of my book 'The Other People'. I went for a different design then I would normally use to fit into the world I created. The Trolls are known to be great musicians and they express themselves through music. I really enjoyed designing instruments (I played the french horn in high school) and create a larger illustration with a collection of troll musicians.
