Figured I might as well upload something, seeing that the end of the term is fast approaching and I'm eager to show some new work.

This is the first part of my Character & Object Design final, the character illustration. Chagrin was created for an imagined cartoon series / film called 'Missing'; her role in the story is that of the monster. She is the guardian and pet of the villain in the story (I might show the other characters later), but does not fit the role of a monster well. Chagrin is defensive and shy, quicker to run away than she is to fight, and is very intelligent and sensitive. She is a feline-primate chimera - think tiger mixed with mandrill.

Inked with the Hunt #102 crow quill dip pen and India ink, then colored with Derwent Inktense pencils (wet). Re-inked after the colors dried. Many references of big cats and mandrills (and baboons) were used for her pose and features.

I will eventually upload the process scans for this piece. The original has a large purple swoosh shape to Chagrin's left; I was on a complementary color kick and felt the background needed some added flair. Just remember that "added flair" is not always needed! *grin*

Chagrin belongs to me.
