Monster High-Style Sulley

Ah yes, this series of artwork has quite the story behind it...
So this all began back in 2012, before MU came out, and I think I was struck by this idea while reading the Monsters Inc Essential Guide. Monster High... Monsters University... what if I drew the MI/MU charries as MH characters! Despite I haven't purchased the dolls, I've always liked the clever way they came up with these second-generation teenage humanoid monsters, and honestly, for me, just humanizing the Monsters characters wasn't working, they needed to keep some of their monster-yness, and that's one of the things they do with the MH characters!. So I did a quick doodle back then of my idea of Mike and Sulley and I seriously couldn't wait until 2013 when I could draw them for real on DisneyCreate! And around this time last year I started taking reference from the MH website and bringing them to life!
So anyway, Sulley here was the first to be drawn, and he was quite the challenge. I think I still pretty much failed on getting his physique to look right, but generally most of the MH characters (he was based off of both Clawd Wolf and Holt Hyde) have very similar body types, so despite this doesn't really work for Sulley entirely, he could easily be translated into an actual doll (which would be seriously cool and I'm seriously considering it). I ended up giving him some sort of running jacket for his outfit, even though looking back a football jersey probably would've been better. Maybe I'll do that in other drawings of him... anyway, overall he came out well for my first attempt at this. And don't worry -- the rest of the guys I've drawn look a lot lot better than this

The Monster High Style belongs to Mattel and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan is Disney and Pixar's. The drawing itself and my humanized design belong to me.
