The Spuzzard drawing was one of the first major creature illustrations to be filmed. Developing the style and skill level 'Joel' would draw in was established early on and cemented by this creature spread.
I was lucky enough to Illustrate Joel Dawson's Monster Journal V1 & V2 on Love and Monsters. Working for Director Michael Matthews and Production Designer Dan Hennah was a pleasure. I illustrated well over 100 pages for the two journals, sadly many pages were not shown in the film. Aside from the main Hero creatures which had developing concept art, I was given the freedom to create a visual story within the journals themselves exploring how the world and creatures would have changed over time.
