Description When your imaginary friend isn't so imaginary anymore.

This digital illustration was made for the SCBWI Carolina's Art Contest 2016. The theme was "illustrate a page turner". It's a wide open theme and since I'm in a monster drawing mood, this happened. Here, the little girl couldn't fall asleep. So her imaginary friend picked up the first book he could find titled "The Good Book" (yes, a play on words, and no the friend isn't a demon... he's more like a gargoyle) and he read her stories. What's going to happen next I wonder?

Made in photoshop, 25 hours.

Adorable! He can't help that he looks a little funny. After all, what's a better imaginary friend than a scary monster? He keeps other scary monsters away!

LOL totally! And looks can be deceiving, he may appear scary at first but really he's just a big huggly monster

I thought it was a demon actually but a gargoyle friend would be cooler

(ssshh, he actually IS a demon... but gargoyle is a friendlier term. He's a good guy!)

Oh well, as long as he's friendly, we'll keep it a secret

I love this. <3 If I ever have kids I'm going to teach them to befriend the monsters in their closet rather than be afraid of them.

Totally! They're scared of us too, that's why they hide in the closet
Thanks!
