Illustration Friday! 'Hybrid'

I decided to try out the Illustration Friday challenge. I don't think I submitted it properly! Oh well! The theme was 'Hybrid'. Maybe I'll try again next week!

Another illustration for Madatoms.com recently, I'm really enjoying drawing buildings lately and wondering why I don't do it more! Fun!

 Alternate character design/variation - Chirp the bird

 Alternate character design/variation - Sparky the puppy pal!

Some alternate character designs sheets for pre-existing characters, and a potential environment/cozy home place I illustrated. I wanted to do some really simple, more child friendly stuff!

I don't have air conditioning! So I made a GIF.

Sasquatch commission!

I got a super fun commission to illustrate a Sasquatch based on Slick Rick for some  t-shirts, so fun!

 A comic shirt? Maybe, vote at Threadless!?

I drew Michael Shannon today, because I really like his face. I think he looks cool as a satanic priest also!

So, I drew some dork-o-saurs today.

comic cover process

 Work in progress! This is a cover painting for a new short comics collection I'm putting together. I'm still making colour decisions, and there will probably be more snouts added everywhere! Process!

No more thesis! I want to make GIFS forever! So fun!

This was my wall at the 98th OCAD grad show, it is not the best picture, but it is a picture. All this stuff can also be seen at http://ocaduillustration.com/illustrators/shira-h/

 I made a zine of all my illustration thesis stuff I've been working on all year, this is the cover and inside cover fun. It was more satisfying to see all the work in this little guy then up on a wall!

Inside!

 

This was a really interesting editorial article to illustrate, it was about younger generations developing odder fetishes because of accessibility to pornography on the internet. It was really fun to come up with a solution that didn't show anything too obscene, I got a lot of use out of the term 'vanilla'! 

brooches!

 I made some brooches! I painted them by hand with acrylic paint then sealed them with shiny varnish! You can buy them if you want at my Etsy store by giving them a click!

I did a quick late night painting of a hoary marmot with watercolour because marmots are just so good! They have great eyes and I would love for a bunch to live in my walls.
