Frankenstein Book cover progress

I'm rolling with the dead flower idea because to me a flower is a beautiful representation of life and death which links in with the story of Frankenstein's monster. I've added stitches to the petals and the stem to demonstrate pieces being put back together. I'm going with a more subtle approach to the book cover because in my opinion less is more in this case. Despite everyone being fearful of Frankenstein's monster, there is a vulnerability there that makes him such an endearing and tragic character for the reader.

Expressions are hard to come up with!

I sat down last night and started one of my character expression sheet. It's difficult to think of expressions that we make and how mixed up or misinterpreted they can become!

Goblins update

In keeping with the other goblin that I coloured, I've given these two designs a mossy and mouldy type look. Out of all of them I like how the old man goblin and the orcish looking goblin from a previous post are my favourite so a decision has to be made soon on that one. However, I feel like the orcish goblin will fit best because of the tone I'm going for. These were both done with Windsor and Newton water colours combined with Derwent Inktense blocks.
