The Bink Family!

I went on an outing with my family one day and I was sat at a table just daydreaming and doodling when I came up with this monster family that I randomly called the 'Binks'.

I started to draw them more and created a collage composition for each character giving each one a  personality and characteristic. Which then led me to thinking what if a made this family of monsters into the basis of my scary story and thats exactly what I did.

Here are some images showing the progress of my thought process;

My first Doodle/idea of the Bink Family!

I then came up with a story for my family, aiming at children ages 5 - 8 years of age. However I need a scary character/s that will make my story more interesting trying to represent fear and darkness within my work however not to scary as I don't wont to frighten children that much.

Here are some compositions I have created exploring the technique of ion printing to give my scary tree monster more of an edge as well as my work looking more sophisticated.
