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!

Alternate Frankenstein Covers

Here's a little bit of a different angle. So I've been exploring with a wilting flower idea for Frankenstein however I like the idea of featuring body parts on the cover. I've formed the image of a flower-like shape using a human heart. The stem is an artery with bolts sticking out like thorns.  For the back cover ive used simply imagery and left a space for the blurb. These were both done with letraset/windsor and newton promarkers and derwent inktense blocks.
