Inktober Day 3 – Unicorn
#inktober2016 Day 3 – Unicorn
The earliest recorded description of a Unicorn describes it something like a cross between a wild ass and a rhino. Not a dainty beast but a fearsome and swift Prehistoric Unicorn with a single black horn.

I think my theme this year is pretty obvious already.
Inktober Day 1
Its Begins!
October is here and that means #Inktober 2016. I am aiming to do a drawing per day for the rest of the month. I have a brand new brown paper sketchbook to fill and my trusty micron pens along with some new brush pens – so lets do this!
Alien Xenomorph Plush Toy
My custom designed small but scary Alien Xenomorph plush.
This tiny terror stands at a compact 8 inches (approx) tall made from soft black fleece with grey embroidered jersey insert details.
Other details to the design include black felt back and tail spikes, back tubes and a white felt teeth.
Crafted from my own unique pattern from my own concept.

*Fun Fact: All of the domain names for “Beautiful Monsters” were held but not used by the studio that made Aliens when I first started my website which is why it is call “My Beautiful Monsters”.
Werewolf Dipper Pines Plush Toy
I forgot to share this plushie commission from a few months back – Werewolf Dipper Pines.
He joined his sister, the Unicorn Mable Pines plush in his new home in May.
Inspired by the Gravity Falls character Dipper Pines this is a custom designed werewolf plush.
The completed plush stands roughly 6 inches tall (8-10 inches long to including his tail).
The plush includes the characters birthmark, hand-embroidered on his forehead under his hair.
He has machine embroidered appliqué eyes and felt claws.
Made from dark brown Minky fleece he is small but cuddly.
Neverwhere – Hunter Character Sketch
For fun today I thought I would sketch Hunter from Neil Gaiman’s novel Neverwhere dressed in her battle trophies. I have never watch the TV series but I really enjoyed the book.
Pencil drawing over watercolor wash.
Raven Hatchling Plush Toys
I made 2 new plush Raven Hatchlings to take to OZ ComicCon last weekend. Happily both Poe and Cog found loving new homes before lunch on the first day!
Each Raven is roughly 15 cm tall (6 inches) made from soft grey and black fleece. They have felt “beards” and eye surrounds. The polyfil stuffing makes them very plump and squeezable.
Both have name tags with hand-cut leather and bead charms.
Anyone interested in having a Raven of their own can contact me through my Esty shop.
I will be listing more unique handmade plush toys and prints in my shop in the next few weeks.
Susan Sto Helit – Discworld Sketch
It has been a very busy few weeks so it was nice to get to sit down and unwind with a drawing just for fun. This is a sketch of Susan Sto Helit from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series building on the inktober sketch I did of her last year. I drew this in about 2 hours last night before bed with a CastellXF 0.7 mechanical pencil.
