This drawing I did a few years ago is called Alice the Bunny. This was a marriage of animal fable often seen in children's books and the desire to test my new set of Daniel Smith watercolour palette. In the spirit of Alice, this Halloween, I decided it's time to escape at least for an evening or two, and be someone, or something else.
These first one was modelled after the Creepy Clown sightings in cities, the eery character that is often lurking in night, poignantly unsettling is what I am going for. The sketches are done to include some Goth elements, with slashes, tutu and leather chocker. The face painting is a white mask with red nose and red lips that carries out into a perpetual creepy grin ala the Batman Joker. It's very effective.
So the end result was shot in front of a closed shop front of a clinic.

I thought about the second costume after discovering this guy's 3D cut out mask patterns of forest animals. Imagine the end result, and I will get it as close as possible to it. The imagine image is of a fairy tale female fox, maybe modelled a little after Mrs Fox from the Fantastic Mr Fox animated film. The dress must be feminine and has the retro look of the 50's, the shoes must be mary jane with a low heel, and there is some beautiful wild flowers around this character. I imagined the Fox head to look like paper-mache and a combination of fantasy and reality where the shading are modelled after actual fox heads but because the shape is angular, it steps away from reality.
