The Story:
Created during lockdown, this series was my quirky pandemic survival strategy – fusing two contrasting Instagram challenges:
#Cutetober's adorable prompts
#Monstermania's spooky themes
The Twist:
Each day, I interpreted both prompts in a single illustration, creating:
Unexpected mashups (fluffy ghosts, kitten-headed hydras)
Playful tension between sweet and sinister aesthetics
Daily consistency despite world chaos
Technical Approach:
Executed in procreate and shared daily on Instagram to build community during isolation
Why It Stands Out:
This project became a testament to creative adaptability, showing how constraints can spark innovation. The series:
Gained [X] engagement on Instagram
Led to [commissions/fan art opportunities]
Remains a fan-favorite for its whimsical darkness
Perfect For:
Clients who value conceptual creativity
Projects needing hybrid cute/spooky aesthetics
Artists seeking challenge-inspired work samples
"When the world closed down, I opened sketchbooks – proving even monsters need cuteness."
