Here's my fanart of Howard and Phillip from The Island of Doctor Morose! If you haven't checked out the game yet, you definitely should! It's a super cool, seussian-inspired, lovecraftian, point-and-click adventure with an incredibly interesting story.

Bonus drawings below.

These are based on a comment from the dev team, in response to me asking what Howard and Phillip's friendship is like. :]

Here's the comment:

POV you and the people you love most got turned into stone for several months and now that you're free you need the comfort and reassurance of physical touch.

The Sea Creep and the Fallen Star. Moominsonas I made for myself and my partner. Transcription of the notes/details below.

The Sea Creep:

A type of Little Creep who lived by the sea.

They are travelling around the world gathering knowledge and information for their marine encyclopaedia.

They are smaller than even Teety Woo.

Their frill goes all the way around to the other side of their head.

Their spines make them more streamlined in water.

They are covered in fine, reptilian scales.

Their satchel bag is for carrying notebooks, pens and pencils.

The Fallen Star:

A shooting star that fell to earth.

They are travelling around the world with the Sea Creep.

While the Sea Creep compiles their encyclopaedia, the Fallen Star studies the world's history.

They are slightly taller than the Sea Creep.

Their hair flows and moves like an aurora.

They have wings and a halo made from starlight.

Their cloak glitters like the night sky.

Their satchel bag is for carrying books, paper and pens.

Last year (2024), I did a life drawing class as one of my free electives for university. Here's some of my favourite pieces from that class.

Gentle Giant

This is a digital piece I made back in 2021 for my QCAA Visual Art investigation, which I'm still really proud of. The creature featured is called an Aquadon and it's a giant, whale-like aquatic animal that roams the deep ocean while carrying a city on its back.
