SOCIAL MEDIA PROJECTS
​
I made these illustrations for art challenges on social media sites like Instagram and DeviantArt. While the character designs for most of the illustrations are created by other artists and therefore not mine to claim, the composition, illustration idea, and piece are made with care and hard work by me.
I illustrated a bear eating strawberries in the heat of a summer evening.
This illustration depicts a lost girl venturing through fantastical woods, using a storytime-based style.
This illustration displays two anthropomophic frogs dancing in the midst of their wedding.
A mushroom-headed bear walking through the endless forest of giant mushrooms.
This illustration of a white bear eating mushrooms is inspired by the tale Alice in Wonderland, which the bear wears similiar costume of.
This illustration shows a loaf of bread dropping an egg, cracking it open. This displays two breakfast foods in a humorous anthropomorphic interaction.
This image tells a story about a cat florist, managing her flower shop to the late hours, being visited by a gentleman tom who hands her a bouquet of flowers.
This illustration is of a strange creature called a JolleRaptor from the DeviantArt community, lounging inside a cup as it is inspired by the popularized flavours of mocha green tea and sakura blossoms.
This picture of a bear riding a motorcycle, surrounded by pink things was very vaguely inspired by the character Sonya the Bear from the film Madagascar 3, displaying a show of femininity and usage of the color pink to depict multiple objects.
This image is of a cat-like scarecrow, guarding pumpkins during the sunset.
This illustration is of a bear tending to its garden, its big house resembling a strawberry being in the backdrop. It is sweating under the shade of its hat as it is a hot summer day.
This illustration shows a fox resting and basking in the sunlight while perching by the hollow soace of a tree trunk.
This illustration is of an original character owned by Instagram artist jeinidoodles, sitting in the midst of giant roses and looking up to a source of light.
This is my illustration of the climax of Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairytale The Snow Queen. In this scene, the protagonist Gerda meets her lifelong bestfriend Kay who has been kidnapped by the Snow Queen freezing like ice. I decided to go for a pose that dramatically conveys the ambiguity of their relationship and highlights Gerda as the main protagonist and moving plot point of the story while Kay is treated as the goal.
