I think this was one of my favourites for this particular project. It took several attempts to get it right. It looks simple enough, but I found it very difficult. Was pleased with the results, though.

 WOW 5 of them caught and a look of hopelessness on their face. They all appear really frightened. But what are those scary looking eyes in the back watching in the darkness? Yikes!

Oh this is great the one with the doll looks like a woman instead of a child. This does have a creepy kind of look to it, especially the eyes in the back ground Dont worry I have a feeling you are all going to be saved soon! They all look so worried too.

I love that emote I thought it was fitting for the circumstance
I love the eyes in the background too. She must have a lot of children
in there

Yes, the tea leaf reader. Or maybe it was Mr Cribbins. Or maybe Monty, the dog, is the culprit.

Ahhh I dont think its the dog  I think the tea leaf reader
is surely involved. Mr. Cribbins seems like a nice guy.

He 'seems' like a nice guy, but maybe he's just pretending.

scratchproductions In reply to CadaverCrafts [2017-08-24 14:49:52 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. Weirdly enough I get more feedback from adults than children. The story is currently being serialised in Japan and I receive fan mail from people in their 60s and 70s.

CadaverCrafts In reply to scratchproductions [2017-08-24 14:51:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well i would just assume most kids take this for granted/don't really notice it too much and then in 15 or so years they'll look back on the stories from their childhood and be nostalgic about it and appreciate them more

That's true. I think I appreciate kids' books more now than I ever did when I was young.

You're close. It's an illustration for a children's story currently being serialised in a newspaper in Japan. The story is aimed at language learners.
