Woops....

Child's lesson No1:
Don't pick tree saplings -
You'll wake the tree cat, and his kittens.

----

Children's illustration made for the :iconchildrensillustrator:'s Monthly topic, 'Odd Forest'.
I was inspired and thinking about Chris Riddell's style of ink drawing to begin with ^^
I was using a really nice new pen that my Mum bought me from Paperchase when we were up in Manchester. It runs a lot more smoothly than my other ink pens that I used in the past, I think because it is ballpoint, and so doesn't squash and compress down after a while :)
It feels so good to have actually drawn something and finished it and to be really happy with it! I have been a bit frazzled art wise, but I think I'm on the way up again, yay ^^! Hee, I haven't created a mystical monster for sooo many years now ^^! Tree Monster.... Tree cat... :)
It was so fun making this picture ^^!
I think his name is Johnny, and he has just come home from school.... Yet another story that I would like to complete ^^!

0.5 Mechanical pencil and Black Cat Gel Pen :) :kitty:
I hope that you guys like him ^^!

That's really awsome. I especially like the tree and all the stuff hiding in it.

Green, black and blue make the colours in the sky.
Thank you so much Cassie! ^^! I am very happy that you like the tree :) I wanted it to look very busy and alive ^^

Growing up is hard to do. That's why I don't do it so much.
Preview:
To me it looked like a child holding a balloon. The balloon is how messed up things are for a child today, with war and people telling them what to think and how to think it. The business suit to me represents him growing up too quickly, having school and responsibility forced upon him for a long time, and never getting to enjoy childhood. As for the trees, i'm unsure, it looks like he's pulled one out, maybe a representation of his deep rooted problems? or perhaps an earth day tree plant, or some shit, i'm unsure as to what that would mean though.

I demand a rainbow, if there is no rainbow there will be bloodshed.
I used to have a stuffed animal that looked like the big cat. I called him Willy.

Blood.
Sweat.
Makeup.

Revolution, my dear, really is sexy.
How very cute! I love this picture. The expressions of the boy and the tree monster are great and I love the line quality throughout the picture. ^^ Nice job!
