Building a little headpiece for a costume

Can you guess my Halloween costume? 🙈
A cardboard and tape base of a headpiece. A headpiece covered in tape, building the 3d shape. Papermached head piece to make it more sturdy. Head piece covered in clay!

A double page spread if a kid on a boke reaching a drive way that leads to a large house. The second page is the kids hiding their bikes in the bushes. A single page spread. A king screams his head off as his servants run down the stairs. A spread of two cats in a blanket fort. One is reading stories outloid as the other car cheers. A page of a fox creeping down a dark hallway. The ghost of an English bulldog butler floats behind him.

I've been having a bit of a tough time with my digital and non-kidlit illustrations lately... guess its just growing pains and I gotta keep working on it 😤

So here are Dahlia and Mags from a story I've been working on!
