Description This is my monster for the ABC Monster contest for Feraligatr66 's Contest. I listed the contest below. Each letter is given out to a single deviant and they create an illustration for it. All letters have been given out, but you should defiantly go see the work of the contestants!

feraligatr66.deviantart.com/jo…

If you notice I tried to focus on earthy colors with brown and green. I than used complementary colors (the green and red) in order to make it stand out more. 

Also, I have the line work for this, which i created by hand, here below. The original copy has the story of this monster, where it comes from and all that you might want to know.

 

This was drawn by hand (the black line work.) I scanned it onto my computer, and added the words and than added color. This was created using gimp, and is my first truly detailed Digital Art Piece.

Unusual concept and design, that's some fine line work for the bark texture! Great work!

Thank you very much!
Yeah, this was for a contest, and the theme was Alphabetic monsters. So I decided to make a illustration for a book!

Amazing work ! Love the wooden part of the letter and you really managed to make the mushrooms look like a natural part of the creature. The colour is wonderful

Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing this. I really focused on the texture of the wood, and the colors I used, so I'm glad you noticed. It seems you keep picking out my primary focuses in these pieces! Thank You!

I didn't notice that it was your first piece! (That'll teach me to be more thorough! I missed your last line)  Seriously Well Done! I honestly thought you'd perhaps had a lot of experience with colouring, it has such a clean finish to it! Incredible I look forward to seeing more of your work I truly do!

 This Comment makes me sooooooo happy! Those are happy tears over there (even if it doesn't look like it, they are!)!!! 

But yeah, I just started up! I'm cheating a little bit though. I draw everything by hand, and than scan it into the computer. This way all i have to do is color in the lines. It's cheating I guess, but its a start!
