Description
You're probably looking at this and thinking "Am I missing something?"You're not missing something. This is an illustration from my second Little Creature story, "Little Creature and the Redcap," which you can read at [link]
If you're not familiar with the little creature, you might actually want to start with the first story, "Little Creature and the Dream Deer" at [link]
The Little Creature stories are basically weird little illustrated stories I occasionally toy with, in a very scratchy and limited pallette. The art wanders between good and serviceable. (So does the writing, for that matter.) But hey, I enjoy it.
Go! Read! Enjoy!

You should have a link to the little creature stories in the "other works" page of your website. that would be very helpful when I want to show them to friends.

Aww! I love the little creature. He's so adorably menacing. I'm glad you decided to revist him.

"It was a lovely spring morning in the forest. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and the river ran with blood"
Best line to ever jump out of nowhere in what could be considered an ingenious children's book.

I'm really beginning to love the Little Creature stories. The dream deer one was just beautiful, and this one was delightfully adorable and squee-causing. *hearts!*

Adorable... and creepy. And... what in the hell does a vampire trout look like? I can't help picturing a fish with a little vampire cape and itty bitty fangs. I like the little creature and the bits about the grandmother are strangely and inexplicably cute.

It's so.......darling. I hate calling it darling, because I'm SURE the little creature would protest about that, but it IS. Gory little fluffball!

I'm not missing anything at all, this is made completely different as how we are used of you, but it looks to me like one of the nicest things you've ever made.

Are you going to make a book of Little Creature (a collection of all the stories)? because I want to buy it.
And, of course, the Red Fireflies stories too. Yay, Ursula Books To Be!

Pink and goth. I don't know how you manage to pull it off. But you do.
Delightful, Ursula.

Another good story. Ever think about putting them into book format? Specifically 'Golden Book' kiddy book style.

Say that again. Go ahead, say it again; say it's crap.
Said it yet?
Cool. *SLAP*
Don't ever say it again. So there.

"The art wanders between good and serviceable. (So does the writing, for that matter.)"
How do you manage to hold a pen, a paintbrush and a crackpipe all at once? Let alone the lighter?!?
I like to spend my time wandering between magical and fantastic and I run into the little creature there all the time......and I doubt it can be in two places at once so between good and serviceable must be out of the question.

It made for really good reading on my lunchbreak today. Thanks!

Sweet, a second story!
I rather liked it, although in comparison to the first story, it's a bit more cutesy (except for all the parts about blood and stuff). It came as a bit of a suprise to me that Little Creature could talk, since he didn't have any spoken lines in the last story. I find the concept of a small creature helping a gnomish being with a bird in its hair to make his hat a more vivid shade of red a strangely charming thought. Plus I loved all the bits about his wonderfully loving grandmother.
(p.s, the description "Like a colosseum crowd during Lion Week" was a really nice line.)

I really enjoy your Little Creature stories. His grandmother reminds me of the grandmother orc you drew a while back. 
This, for people who have not seen it: [link]

Hehe, wonderful story. I love the idea such an evil Little Creature sending pictures to it's grandmother so she could put them on the fridge.

Wow, very cute! Love the simplicity...
Dunno why but I think if this was made by another person it'd look like a cute little fella drinking tea and watching the sunset.
But as it's from you it looks like it's eating a bunny's corpse or something like that, and in any moment it'll turn its head 180ΒΊ and stare at you with red, evil eyes and blood dripping from its fangs...
Take that as a compliment.
