David Suchet is Monsieur Hercule Poirot! I was so surprised when I saw him in Going Postal, an adaptation after Terry Pratchett's novel, but he was so good in that too!

A grey rabbit in a pretty blue polka-dot dress with a carrot-patterned apron over it holds up a two-tiered carrot cake that she has just baked and frosted. The cake holds a single lit candle. This was drawn as a Draw This in Your Style challenge: The original character design was by Anastasiia Panchenko (@lapin.siia on IG)

A sunny summer scene at a tiny tea table outside a rustic cottage surrounded by bushes and trees. A young witch, surrounded by frogs and wearing purple robes and a witch's hat, talks animatedly to an ordinary looking boy. They're both holding teacups but he's looking VERY nervously at his, and also at the frog on the table. The book title reads "The Tea Witch's Retreat" with the author's name "Christina Warwick."

Luigi (from the Mario Bros games) in a rockabilly style. He's got a black and green bowling shirt in with an "L" embroidered on his chest, rolled-cuff jeans and Converse All-Stars. He's also got a large pompadour, sideburns, and lots of Mario-related tattoos. He's holding a large plumber's wrench.

In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience."

A collage of four images: top left: The detective (a young girl) finally finds what she was looking for, after following the trail of clues, a birthday party for herself! The scene shows the detective looking through the door at her friends who are a bit surprised to find her there so early! top right: an illustration of a rescue center for marine life in the background while the foreground has a group of three women who are helping a turtle get back into the water. bottom left: A little girl and her dog are practicing their ballet dance moves. bottom right: A druid is enjoying the smell of lilac. An image of a girl with leaves and flowers in her hair, branches coming out above her ears, with a background of a bright sun, leaning towards a lilac flower.

A comical scene unfolds on a tropical beach, where a rabbit wizard is levitating an exceptionally agile pika to the top of an ancient temple, so that they can claim the enormous emerald sitting above the entrance. Although triumph is within reach, the statues are coming to life around them.

Hi, this sounds like an awesome project!

I love fantasy but I've never done an illustration that has humans using magic which is weird and something I'll fix in the future. Thank you for the idea!

Here are a few illustrations with magic and some with humans.

Thank you!

It's not only concept artists/ comic book artists affected, but children's illustrators are often left out studies/convos involving this.

A collage of images. First illustration has a young girl using a magnifying glass to look at the label on a package that she found. We see that the label is ripped and the word remaining on it is "loons". The second illustration shows the same girl from the first illustration interviewing a young boy who is holding a balloon. We then see in the same illustration, that the girl followed the boy to a house. The third illustration shows the same girl as the first two illustrations walking into a room where more children are holding up balloons and adding candles to a cake. They have thrown a surprised birthday party for our girl protagonist and she followed the clues to find the party. The last illustration shows a young boy holding a candle walking towards his mother who's putting a pumpkin in the window. The boy is surprised to see his dog as he reaches the high table and tries to pull down another carved pumpkin.
