This critter was based on a doodle by my sister. I’ve used a bit of artistic license, and she could have been a bit rounder and squatter in the body, but I quite like the way her headpiece turned out.

If you fancy designing a critter for me to make and release, you can always email me your drawing or doodle at hello@travellingmonsters.com, or tweet, FB post or instagram me and I’ll give it my best shot (time permitting).

On a related note, if you want to keep your critter, there are lots of places out there that will make you a stuffed toy based on a drawing. Even IKEA used kids’ drawings to produce a range of toys. Sometimes inspiration comes from other art!
