The Derpy Monster was a project to develop a pet character for https://www.derpymonster.com/ a crochet pattern blog :)

To create a fun, friendly and wacky character pet for the blog; it had to be a monster and it had to be derpy. Otherwise the briefing was really open.

To bring the DerpyMonster to fruition I stablished some ground rules:

• It had to be fun & derpy.

• It had to be easy to translate into a crochet pattern.

• It had to be simple enough to later be disguised/adapted and changed seasonally.

These conditions were stablished under the vision of creating a pet that could be turned into a freebie tutorial and reproduced every season to generate a collector’s effect.

These ideas were well received and after several rounds of feedback regarding style the final design was rendered and the seasonal derpies were illustrated!

Now the DerpyMonster happily lives at www.derpymonster.com and https://twitter.com/DerpyMonst3r
