More Monsters!

I've done more monster drawings! The whole reasoning behind these is inspired by digital artist Masahiro Ito, who is famous for working on the original Silent Hill games as the monster designer. The thing I really admire is the way human elements are incorporated into horrific monsters, and it it this aspect that makes them scarier in a way. Sometimes, you can look at the monsters and realize that look like they're in pain because they are deformed human figures. The other fascinating thing about Ito's work is the symbolism, which can drive analytical people (like myself) crazy with the endless layers of meaning in a single monster's appearance.
