decided to scan this one in the midst of finals. Still got a bunch of other stuff that I need to upload!

This guy was for an assignment to design a creature/monster based on a phobia, so he's a manifestation of the fear of disease (could also work as fear of hospitals, I was a little unsure)

He has syringes on the end of his metallic skeletal fingers, and each one will give you a different disease. I wouldn’t get too close to him if I were you…

I don't know if I explored his design as much as I wanted to, and there was a little more that I hoped to include, but I ended up deciding that this picture looked pretty complete as it was and I didn't want to change it any further for fear of messing it up. I have a lot of extra sketches of him and plan to play around with his design a bit more. Gotta love antique medical equipment...

watercolor and colored pencil, 8x10ish

This is fantastic, very good embodiment of Pathophobia. I can relate to the poor patient in the bed...

Really adore the plague doctor mask~ Can't wait to see what you can do with him if you do explore him more, but I agree that he's pretty complete. I rather like his silhouette.

Very, very clever, I must say I'm looking forward to seeing how your playing with his design turns out. I'm rather excited ^.~

I like how you incorporated the those masks doctors had during the Black Plague epidemic into this manifestation of fear of diseases. Nicely done! ;-)

What makes this work so brilliantly is how small the girl is in the bed. Phobias are so large.
