Creepy Illustrations: Feedback Wanted =)

Below are some illustrations I have been working on. After looking at creepy illustrations in my last blog post, I attempted it myself here. Let me know what you think of these images. Thank you. =)


A fiery demon.
I didn't want to give too much away so it is quite abstract. I think it is much scarier to imagine something, rather than to just look at a straight-forward picture. I also tried to include some fierce-looking eyes, to give the impression of a demon rather than simply a fire. What do you think?



In this one, I overlaid two different drawings, one in pen and one in pencil. I then added a soft gradient and background. I feel this one is more traditional in style. What are your thoughts?




This final image is the same as the first but in monochrome. I just wanted to see how it would look.

Please let me know what you think. Any feedback is useful. Thanks!

9 Creepy Illustrations

I was recently asked to illustrate a scary story and having never done this type of work before, I decided to look at other creepy/scary illustrations. I have found that a scary effect can be achieved in a variety of different ways and just thought I'd share with you some of the examples I found.










After having looked at these illustrations, I have noted down a few techniques used to make things appear creepy:

• Collage.
• Silhouettes.
• Photo-montage and putting unusual shapes and imagery together.
• Intricate black and white line drawings.
• Blurred and ghost like imagery.
• Layering of unusual textures.
• Limited colour palette.
• Surrealist ideas.

I'll keep you posted with how I get on with the scary imagery. =)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great Christmas. ^_^

I haven't posted on here for a while because I have a new website on the way and my blog will be transferred to there, so I was waiting until it was up and running. However, with it being a new year and all, I thought I'd let you all know what's been going on.

Well, I've been designing some characters for Tom's new portfolio. Follow the link to see them and while you are there, you may as well have a gander at the websites that Tom has built and designed. =)

This is an example of one of the characters.


The other designs have been uploaded to the Illustrations section of my website so take a look. ^_^

Anyways, I'll let you know how the websites coming along.

Until next time,

Julianne
