Monsters Have Feelings Too by Jonathan Hopkins

“In this collection, four monsters represent four very real feelings and emotions that each one of us has deeply felt at some point in our lives: love, pain, sorrow, and joy. I have tried to incorporate as much of my own emotion into each monster design as possible.

“The two 1/1 Paintings also come with a physical variation painting. The physical pieces have been created using pen and watercolor on watercolor paper. These are extremely rare, as I do not usually create full physical variation paintings of my digital paintings.”

— Jonathan Hopkins

Jonathan Hopkins is an NFT artist from the United Kingdom, specializing in creature and character art, design, concept art, and illustration.

His favorite subjects to draw, paint and illustrate are creatures and animals of all kinds. From mundane to fantastical, he loves unique characteristics and colors. Whether from imagination or reality, bringing each creature to life in his unique way is especially rewarding,

Though many designs start digitally, Hopkins still enjoys a sketchbook and a pen, pencil, or marker. When a creature concept is born on paper, Hopkins often includes the signed sketches on toned paper as an unlockable with the digital final product.

Jonathan Hopkins enjoys pouring his time and energy, heart, and soul into painting detailed, intricate pieces as well as very expressive and painterly work.

“Please do come and follow me and say hello on Twitter. I’d love to speak to you and talk about NFTs. I’m always open to share about my work and take you deeper into the thought processes and meanings behind my paintings.” — Jonathan Hopkins

This one has a special backstory as it is inspired partly by my youngest son, my baby boy whose smile will bring anyone joy. The creature holds his close heart, which is filled with three other hearts to represent my wife, myself, and my youngest child. Filled to the brim with the feeling of pure joy, the creature looks out, wide-eyed and innocent, directly at the viewer with an indelible smile that would melt the heart of anyone who catches his gaze.
