Initial ideas

So to begin with, I started researching different types of monsters of folklore from Japan. One of the creatures that sticks with me is Yokai. I love that Yokai can be anything from a normal ghostly apparition to a terrifying demon. For my first idea I went with the classic Japanese horror trope of a girl with long hair wearing a white nightdress. I've drawn her to be a poor, tortured soul forever cursed to exist in our world. Quite the typical profile for a ghost really!

Two different designs and torturous situations. Lovely!

So I heard about a competition from Cass Arts to have your design on a sketchbook if you win. Now I haven't won but I was featured as a highlight along with all these other talented artists. We wont know who has won until after May 1st but this is such a proud moment for me even though it's something so small.

The Shining book cover progress

Putting a lot of emphasis on 217 here because for anyone who hasn't read the book it doesn't give anything away and it sparks curiosity. The twins are also an eye catching image as we often find ourselves doing a double take at twins in the street to figure out if were seeing things or not. But anyway, I jotted these down with no facial features and I actually quite like the uncertain feeling it gives.
