Polar Torch Bearby ~silpholion

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

"Polar Torch Bears use their torchlight noses to not only help them hunt, but to look for underwater treasure left by the sunken ships."

For one assignment, everyone had to write one object and one animal and our lecturer jumbled it all up, and I got "polar bear" and "torchlight". We're supposed to create a creature fused with those objects and also create some sort of story for them and illustrate them in a children's storybook manner... I was pretty braindead as to what to do, and I don't really feel nice if I took my lecturer's idea of having the polar bear use his torchlight nose to create the Aurora Borealis in the night sky. D;

I was thinking of having it use its nose to hunt for seals, and then when I was talking to a friend on the phone, he had a sudden stroke of genius and suggested that they'd hunt for treasure too.

D What they do with the treasure, I've got no idea. lol

I really need to practice with watercolours more. So many accidents happened while painting this omfg... but at least those little 'accidents' created some pretty interesting effects!

+ ink pens, watercolours, lots of salt lol

That is some brilliant aquarelle work! I'm in awe with all the pretty textures. You call it "accidents", and such stains are often looked upon as such, but I think they look marvellous here.
And the idea! A polar torch bear... I have never seen anything like it. The composition is nice too - it looks like it is taken right out of a good children's book

Wow, thank you! It's really my dream to illustrate for children's books in the future, so your thoughts mean a lot.

This is very creative and you have pulled it off so well, like something that came from a dream, wonderful
