Sugary Sweet Thesis

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I was Minnie Mouse ;)
But anyway! If anyone's been wondering where I disappeared to again, it's mostly been my senior year of college (scary!). For my Illustration thesis I elected to do a series of drawings having to do with a candyland creepy-cute universe. "Bittersweet" if you will. Many of these were inspired by AP's OTT sweet prints as well as Adventure Time and, more recently, Wreck-It Ralph :)
I'll be selling these drawings as prints by the end of the year, as well as possibly a line of t-shirts and tote bags.
I started by doing a little monster girl, then wondering "what kind of world would she live in?"

So I did three dessert themed over-the-top environments.

 

Then I took a break and worked on a little line of spooky food postcards in honor of Halloween.



Now I am working on three character based spot illustrations. These will most likely end up as t-shirts. I only have one completed at the moment, but the others are nearly ready! 


I'd love feedback from you guys c:
Which are you favorites? What would you like to see next?

  7. Oh my, I love this! My favorite pics are the dessert environments. I love how they look tasty, but kinda nasty... you balanced creepy and cute very well.
    These environments would look so cool in totebags, especially if printed all over the front panel of the bag, with no frame. (I mean like this: http://yhst-28662569253239.us-dc1-edit.store.yahoo.net/I/yhst-28662569253239_2175_35471962 )
