Drawings of Misunderstood Creatures

Creatures also called monsters, really get a bad reputation because of the horrible behaviour of some.
Concept Artist and Illustrator Charles Lister specialises in thinking up and then drawing these fantasy little critters.

Lister gives them personalities by the way he designs their features, their clothing, their expressions and the situations he puts them into.
No words are exchanged and these are ink drawing stills, rather than moving pictures. That said, it's amazing to see how a story already begins to form around these lovely characters.

Have a look below and see how you can expand from the original concept.
