You guys are probably sick of seeing this guy tonight but I’m uploading this for two reasons - 1) I find these comparisons between initial sketch and finished illustration strangely satisfying and 2) I prefer the original finished SproutBoy illustration in person over the scan. I’ll stop posting now, I promise! #illustration #fawnlorn #matthayton #characterdesign #sprout #sproutboy #sproutdude

Bad Omens - The Magpie

In Western Europe and North American folklore magpies are thought to be bearers of bad omens and associated with evil. In British folklore if a solitary magpie is seen, it is customary to salute and address the Magpie with a respectful greeting in order to avoid the bad luck it supposedly causes.

Constellation no. 10 - Ursa Major

alternative title, ‘begin as you mean to end’ because this is the last of my constellations for a little while and my first was Ursa Minor (the little bear). I’m thinking of compiling my first set of constellations into a zine pretty soon which might be exciting. I like looking at my first and last constellations because hopefully you can see progress. Growth is always good.

Constellation No 7. - Cygnus (New Version)

In Greek mythology Cygnus is often associate with several distinct legendary swans. Many of which involve gods and people transforming into swan. However, I think my personal favorite is idea that Cygnus, together with other avian constellations near the summer solstice, Vultur Cadens and Aquila, may be a significant part of the origin of the myth of the Stymphalian Birds, one of The Twelve Labours of Hercules.

I wanted to post this in conjunction with the summer solstice but its already the 21st here. However, only by less than a hour so I’m going to say close enough. Enjoy!

Constellation No 6. - Cetus

The name Cetus actually means sea monster In Greek mythology, however in modern astronomy the constellation is often referred to as ‘the whale’.

This is the first constellation I’ve managed to finish since been back in England. I had a small art block when I first arrived but hopefully this is me getting over it/me finally adjusting to the change in temperature. :)

As always if you wanted to check out my blog or my Facebook page that would be awesome. :)
