Hey Steemers, here is an illustration from an on-going series of mine called "Wild Youth."
This one is titled "Widow Maker."
I've always enjoyed deceptive themes, so this series explores that topic. The children in this universe hunt for monsters, usually camouflaged as their prey. I thought the idea of cute kids terrorizing scary monsters would be fun to explore, so most of these illustrations portray a battle of some sort--either before, after or during the confrontation. As I've created more of these, they've gotten more gruesome without me really thinking too much about it. Children being thrown into dangerous situations is sort of unexpected, and I think that's what I like about the premise -- sometimes the children are victorious, other times the monsters...bonus points if your own interpretation of this series are different from my own!
Here is the previous one I posted, called "Shocker:"
Some rough sketches of the design:
Thanks for peepin this post!
Wild Youth... great title. Now I understand "The Shocker." The kid is battling these electric eels under water and he's dressed up as one of them! I see the bubbles and the blood so probably the kid has lost and he's not going to make it. The "Widow Maker" is creepy and I can see a kid in there too. Maybe its a booby trap?
Lol yeah it’s definitely possible! The more of these I do, I think the more I want to leave the dynamic of the characters up to interpretation. It gives my imagine more to run with.
MY FAVE
I kinda want to do another version of this one...soon I hope!
Very Cool, I like the concept and Drawings! I look forward to more of these :)

Cool piece! And thank you, I appreciate it.
Wow! These are amazing, the style is absolutely beautiful! Almost has a little bit of a twisted Dr.Seuss style. Really awesome!
Thank you so much! I love Dr. Suess and he’s definitely an inspiration on my work.
