Courtney’s Personal Work
This is work I’ve done under the CourtneyMonster brand. This is where I explore and experiment with new styles, tools, and techniques.
This gallery is divided by flavor: Character Explorations, Compositions, and Sketches & Inks.
Character Explorations
I love a good character exploration, don’t you? Every character depicted here comes from a project, hobby, or fandom I once-upon-a-time engaged in. You’ll see my style fluctuate a lot in this section, even across iterations of the same character! This is intentional, as I play with shape language and proportion to convey mood and character growth. (And sometimes, it’s just me trying something new!)

This is Amelie! She is the main character to a personal project of mine.


A piece inspired by my favorite episode of "Welcome to Nightvale."


A character exploration for a children's media project.

My first TTRPG character, Lottie Dokes!
Compositions
A majority of my compositions originated as gifts. I love trying to capture a story moment or relationship through a completed piece; the way one’s eye flows across each element in an artwork can drastically alter the tale being conveyed.

The side of a mini arcade machine decal I designed.
Just Cute Things
Emojis, character stickers, and other super cute doodles. What’s not to love?
Sketches & Inks
Who dictates when a piece is finished? What rule states something must be tightened, painted, and polished for it to be done?
