Splotch Monster Floral Explosion

Just for a bit of variety, I added some flowers and circles to the background. I see it as some sort of a lizard like creature, but I've been told it looks like a mole. This is why I love splotch monsters. No pressure to make it look like any specific creature.

The splotch:

Splotch Monster

A weird splotch... like this one:

Leads to a weird monster... like this one:

Is it a horse? Is it a long haired dude with a mustache. Is it a somewhat masculine lady holding a weird purse? Is it a weird animal breeder? I have no idea. 

What does it look like to you?

Splotch Monster - Smiling Sue

The monster for today is girly, trendy and friendly lady. I am calling her Smiling Sue.

Splotch Monster - The Purple Rider

The latest splotch monster is a duo of monsters born out of a single splotch once again. I like how it turned out. Looks cute.

I've been really enjoying making splotch monsters lately. I worry sometimes that I am just copying Steve's monsters and style, but other than that I am having a blast making these.

This one was originally going to be only one monster, but the other one emerged in the background as I was finishing up and I let it be. 

No scan of the initial splotch once again. Sorry. I keep forgetting.

Splotch Monster - Goofy Fish

This one was easy and fun to do. I like how it turned out.

It takes an effort to make things shiny, be it as big as a personality or as small as a silver spoon. Sometimes it almost takes being a super hero to succeed.

Just for the record, this is a splotch monster from page 6 of my book of splotch monsters.

Splotch Monster - The Performer

Another day, another splotch monster. I had too much blank space on top, so I drew a curtain there. I think it works well with this particular monster.

Splotch Monster - A Playful Giant

For a change I scanned the initial splotch before I turned it into a monster.

Splotch Monster - A Blushing Flyer

This looks like a flying doggy to me. Wouldn't such a monster be super cute and cool?

Splotch Monster - Shy Redhead

Winged, nude, redhead, splotch monster. 

Did it late at night. I had no intention to go this way, but the splotch monsters have a mind of their own.

Splotch Monster - Lady's Wings

Do these wings make me look fat?

The creature was a scary sight.

This is a monster from my book of splotch monsters. Page 4.

Book Of Splotch Monsters

I started a new journal. It's not going to be a typical art journal. I am going to fill it up with splotch monsters. As I mentioned in previous posts I get the inspiration for splotch monsters from Steve's A Splotch Monster a Day blog. They are so fun to make that I decided to dedicate a whole book to them.

The book is a sketchbook with 300g watercolor paper pages. It comes with a convenient hole in the front cover, so I used that to make a simple title for the book.

I ended up with a lot of blank space on the first page, so I added some monsters to it.

What I love about splotch monsters is that I never quite know what I'll get as a final result. It's exciting, like a little adventure with each monster.

Here are the closeups of those I ended up with this time:

Making this book is going to be a super fun exercise.

A Splotch Monster

I am a big fan of Steve's splotch monsters. A long time ago I tried my hand at making one of those, but without much success. After viewing many of Steve's creations over the last few days I decided to give it another go. What a fun, fun creative exercise. Here's what I got in the end:

 I loved it and already have a couple more splotches drying out for future monsters. I forgot to scan the initial splotch. Will do the next time.
