Illustration Friday: Contraption
This is an old illustration that I have posted before but I thought it would suit this weeks prompt of contraption. Her name is "Amphibious Me" and I created her last year. Amphibious Me comes with her own mode of aquatic transportation and safety helmet that takes her to mysterious connecting realms of sea and land.

    Miss Melissa Mackie!
    I love your surrealism. I love the title you have placed.
    and color, excellent!
    Could see more of this type of work yours?
    Is this asking too much?
    Good weekend for you.
    I do not remember if I said thank you for your visit.
    OK, Thanks for your visit, Miss Melissa Mackie!

    Octopus lady is pretty cool. Love the dirty vintage look you put into your work too. Do you do a lot of publication design? Cause you be pretty good at it.

    I'm so glad you posted this again, as I had missed it before and it is awesome!! How fabulous that she has a protective helmet as she sets forth on her discoveries. Well done, Melissa, and beautifully illustrated!

    I'm behind on my blog visits - what gorgeous work you have in these last few posts that I've missed! "Ferocious" was fabulous, and I"m drooling over that wallpaper. This amphibious gal is wonderful - is it a large piece? Maybe it's the vertical lines in it, but I'm envisioning it as a huge wall-sized piece!

    Thank you for the feedback everyone. This was a piece I created for a packaging design assignment last year when I was studying. The last illustration is so long because it was designed to wrap around a box. It would look great as a wall size piece Sarah....
