Scary illustration with the title 'Illustration about fears'

Illustration about fears

The client ask for a colorful banner to promote some talks about fears. He ask for a Coraline (animated movie) look, with a picture of that character walking outside at night. Instead of taking the character outside at night, I prefer to play with the nightmares in a bedroom, it is more scary when you think you are on a "safe" environment. I remember when I was a kid and play to find shapes in the shadows, that also help for the inspiration. The worlds of Neil Gaiman (I am a big fan) and Tim Burton also give some shape to the ideas.

Boo Boo Bear

The design of Boo Bear. A stuffed doll that will make noises if pressed and designed to fright people. Somewhat it is too-bear, too scary, and looks like a bank robbery. Doesn't matter. Still love it nonetheless.
