A busy week or so but I've finally been able to knuckle down to some proper work on "The Fearsome Beastie" project I mentioned. Early days but I'm pretty happy with the character design so far. It remains to be seen if it will be suitable once I start fitting it into the story proper and what tweeks I'll have to make. The broad strokes of the tale are the Fearsome B comes into town on a dark and snowy night and proceeds to panic the local kiddiwinks. It gets it's just deserts in the end of course. The text calls for sharp claws, multiple tails and fangs. The author was also keen for scales and hair. I couldn't resist the multiple eyes after using them on an earlier character. I'm hoping they will prove useful in the spread I'm going to draw up where the FB has to sit and sob, all the while biding it's time till the kiddies get close... the two faced, four eyed swine! I must admit the multiple tails proved awkward at first. I wouldn't have chosen that feature myself but, as is often the case, I'm glad to have been pushed somewhere different. Still plenty to do...

Lovely, and surprising, stuff Matt. I don't think I've seen anything quite like this before.
Love seeing your steps mate, awesome work! :)
I love seeing the evolution of your ideas.
This is so cool.
Very nice. It's tough to be original and reference what has gone before - but you've managed it. The Gruffalo and the Wild Things are clearly influences, but this is pure Dawson Genius at it's best.
It's nice to be pushed and you've produced something lovely stuff as a result!
Excellent stuff, he's great. Really interesting to see how you developed him too.
I think he's just the right amount of monstery and scary for kids :)
