It was a magical time where I would edit screenshots of people who worked at Weta, send them directly to them and they would find it funny rather than EXTREMELY obnoxious/creepy.

She has asked me to add, that in this slide, the direction of arrows was initially indicative of the flow of energy as in a prey>predator food chart, but she got some the wrong way around

For her birthday, our (now) 13 year old asked if she could give a presentation on the various deaths in Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol... @dukope.bsky.social @goldenidol.bsky.social

HOW is this a thing they send out to their users? I’m using 1.7TB of a 2TB plan. I add and remove files every single day. Do they not understand their own product!?

Here are some other, TERRIFYING, creatures that I've also made. For some reason, they're all looking straight at you... Do NOT hold their gaze! 😰

@ianfay.bsky.social I don't know how but you are, to some degree, responsible for this.

One thing that happens, every year, is that there will be some negative pushback about the project's intentions & while I appreciate where those people are coming from, I think they're looking at it with a level of cynicism which, simply, isn't present.
Here's a brief clip of me talking about this

Here's the BTS video I made for Mariah. I don't really care how crude my sketches are as I'm working on them as I'm just trying to get as many ideas out of my brain as possible.

These cuties are Mariah's monsters from 2021!
When I saw Mariah's original drawing I instantly felt that this gang of friends were clearly out on an adventure together. I sketched out a whole bunch of scenarios before settling on them running through a meadow, picking flowers...

Again, I wanted Sadie's original design in my version, so added it to the baseball, along with some custom branding

Here's the making of video I put together that year for Sadie.
Every year, I always want to make a furry monster, but never had the time to master the process. I'd just come off the back of a HUGE project that had a lot of fur needed, so I wanted to *finally* make this one a hairy beast!

Sadie was the original artist for this brilliant 3-headed beast
I originally planned to match the side-on view from Sadie's concept & aim for something quite graphical. Once I started thumbnailing the scene, I ended up with something more dynamic, to help tell the story in a single shot.

2016 was the year our second child was born, so while working on this we had a 3 yr old, a 5 month old & an insane dog. Juggling work and the MP this year was a total blur. For example, I remember exporting this timelapse video but have ZERO memory of making the 'song' that accompanies it...😬

2016 was Jackson's monster. I LOVED their pose for the monster and couldn't shake the idea that it was a frame in a sequence.
I originally planned to have 30-40 small kids all going nuts out of the windows, but simply ran out of time

This was Maddison's Monster from 2015. This was the first time that I, subconsciously, tapped into my favourite theme for a lot of these. i.e. humans being terrified/startled by a sudden monster appearance!
(I snuck Maddison's drawing in the cab behind the crane operator)

Katie, and The Monster Project first reached out to artists online in 2014, which was when I jumped on board. This was the first fanart I did that year. It was RIDICULOUSLY good fun!

I also enjoy sneaking the original artist's work into my illustrations. In this case, the book the kid is reading from has a special cover...

As well as recording a message to the original artists, some of us record behind the scenes videos for them. This is mine from that year

2017 was an extra special year as Katie, the fantastic person behind the whole project, filmed the kids, seeing our interpretations for the first time.

Halloween is almost upon us so I'm going to post some MONSTERS! Here's one of my contributions to the themonsterproject.org, a project where kids create hundreds of monsters & artists from all over the world put their spin on them.
This was 2017 & the original artist is Reagan!
