Lil' Mikey would like to say...


Mummy Mon

Daddy Mon


...to the world! With him are his mum and dad. You might say that Lil' Mikey could have been a girl since he's carrying this flower CD player (yes old school), well, let's just say that his mum hand sewed it and insisted that he used it.

Initially I was trying to illustrate a Miniature Schnauzer but sketches after sketches still couldn't get it to how I'd like it to look. Meanwhile I side-doodled and eventually found it more fun to draw and paint out my version of slobbery, gel-like monsters...at least when they're young. As they grow up, they start to develop stronger legs and arms, more hair too if they were males :P Females, however, still glide, they don't walk. Despite their differences and colour, one characteristic common through all of their life stages are their large, yellow 2~3 front teeth protruding out of their mouths.

By the way, after it all I thought Lil' Mikey resembled the River God from 'Spirited Away' heaps. Don't you think? I'd say great minds think alike then, hah.
