Creepy Radio

The Confused Snail and the Delusional Frog

Still Life with a strange twist

Switch it up

Concept/Inspiration: I really didn't have much concept or inspiration. I wanted to draw a feminine face but I was bored of making the face normal and in place. so, I switched the facial features around and put the face in space. I wanted to give it an alien-type look.
