Kells Characters Re-imagined

I watched "The Secret of Kells" the other night and just had to draw these three.

Took some creative licence obviously, especially with Aisling. I thought about that long, flowing, almost supernatural hair of hers and thought: "What if her dress were an extension of her hair?"

It was fun to draw, I like it. What do you think?

Sea Chef

This was my entry for the July "Character Design Challenge". 

Every month they post a new theme and hundreds of artists submit their vision of a character to match that theme.
This months theme is: Master Chef.


It was shark week so I thought I'd do something appropriate.

Ahem...

"Down beneath the waves of Tokyo Bay lies the best kept secret in Japan:"Fin's Sushi Bar" where expert chef "Fin Wanizame", a Japanese Tiger Shark, filets up something tasty for a clientele used to breathing underwater.

Chef Fin crafts gourmet items of choice, using only the finest, meats, kelp, kale, and seaweed, straight from the source. His sushi, crab legs, calamari, and fish tacos are guaranteed to be local, fresh, and organic, attracting many Hipster mermaids to his place."

I thought it was clever.

This was my other idea

Stay TOONED!
