Sketch of Shades O' Reilly. His head is tilted up and looks off to the distance, pondering.
Stain glass style illustration depicting Shades O' Reilly holding a glowing lantern. He looks up to a lone star against the night sky.
Shades stands shocked as a snowball splats him in the face. He is hit with such force his hat and sunglasses fall off.
Black and white linocut print of Shades O' Reilly perched in a tree in the forest. He happily listens to two birds sing their song.
A limited colour palette of blues and accent reds depict a snowscape. Shades looks to the night sky and sees reindeer pull a sleigh across the sky. They are silhouetted by the full moon.
Shades O' Reilly sits near the top of a pine tree decorated with baubles. He holds aloft a decorative star that glows in the night sky.

A collection of all my drawings for the ToonJune drawing challenge last month, featuring Shades O' Reilly and Judge Kavangh, among others.
Shades O' Reilly and Judge Kavanagh are surrounded by a Looney Tunes-style backdrop and wave to the viewer. Underneath there is text reading "Sin é, a chairde!", the Irish translation of "that's all, folks!".
A piano has just crashed on top of Shades. Still, he sits upright, dazed and confused, and smiles with piano keys for teeth.
Shades is juggling eggs and he winces as a cracked egg dribbles down his face. It's enough to make him forget about the other three eggs that are still mid-air and coming down fast.
Shades wears swimming trunks, a snorkel and goggles as he swan-dives of a tall diving board aiming for the tiny metal bucket on the ground.
A two-panel comic. The first part shows Shades beaming with pride as he is awarded a gold medal. The second part shows the weight of the medal yanking Shades's neck to the ground. It's heavy enough that it causes cracks on the ground to appear.
Shades dons a party hat and has difficulty blowing out the candle of a birthday cake. He doesn't realise it's actually a lit stick of cartoonish TNT...
Kavanagh leans back on her tail and kicks Shades. He holds on to his hat as he soars through the air, leaving a cartoonish trail behind him.
Shades crash lands into Judge Kavanagh's pouch with his paws and tail poking out. She is not thrilled about this.
Shades has slipped on a banana peel. He pulls a wild take expression as he soars through the air and is about to crash.
A hyena dressed in the style of a famous DC villain (ahem ahem) loops a scarf around Shades's neck. He threatens him, "Wanna know how I got these scarves?". Shades replies "Uh... Penneys, hun?"
A bat hangs upside-down from a branch (He may or may not resemble a certain DC super hero, ahem ahem). He has one eye open as he peers into Shades. Shades is looking up asking "So are you gonna help solve the case... or just hang around?"
Shades is struck by a bolt of lightning, making his skeleton visible for all.
Shades stands over a giant X on a sound stage littered with cartoon props: a rake, a bowling ball, an oversized magnet, a box and a stick of TNT, custard pies and also a tonne weight hanging over him. He shouts "You want me to do WHAT for this scene?" as he reads over the script. Judge Kavanagh sits in the director chair looking on, megaphone in hand. Geez, why can't folks just hit their marks?
Shades is puzzled as he examines a trail of paw prints with his magnifying glass. The trail of paw prints lead on the ground, then up and around the walls. What he doesn't see is the gecko on the wall, donned in a black and white stripy jumper and a domino mask, classic burglar outfit.
Judge Kavanagh sits behind her messy desk. Instead of a judicial wig, she wears a colourful clown wig. She also wears a dour expression, holding her chin in her hand and rapping the desk with her fingers out of annoyance.
A giant sized anvil splats Shades O' Reilly and dust clouds swirl around him. His snout, limbs and tail poke out underneath. His hat and sunglasses have flown off from the impact.
A dirty saucepan sits on the hob. Shades is holding a jar with a picture of a chilli on it. His face is ashen as smoke billows around him.
A black cat cracking his knuckles and a magpie brandishing a cartoonishly-sized mallet loom over Shades O' Reilly menacingly. Shades looks up, worried.
A hot air balloon hangs in the sky whilst the jovial hedgehog pilot says "... and I'm qualified and certified!". An anxious Shades clings on to the basket despite what he's hearing.
Shades peeks around the corner of a building. His shadow, however, seems to have a mind of its own and has its back against the wall.
Shades O' Reilly stands in front of a poster captioned "Martes Martes", depicting a realistic rendition of a pine marten. He looks to the viewer, unimpressed, and says "This is just unrealistic"
Shades O' Reilly jumps out the window of a building. What he doesn't see on the ground is a thumb tack waiting for him when he lands.
Stars spin around Shades's head as he stands dazed and confused. The bump on his head is a result from an anvil that is bouncing off frame. Little does he know there's also a piano ready to drop...
Judge Kavanagh the kangaroo dons boxing gloves as she punches a comically large legal textbook named "Toon Law, by Yu Tu Ken Sue"
Shades O' Reilly looks on contentedly as he holds a plate with a comically tall, multi-layered club sandwich towering over him.
Shades O' Reilly panics as he hangs on to the legs of a (comically large) seagull with one hand, and his suitcase in the other. The suit case sprung open, with the contents spilling out (i.e. spare sunglasses). The dialogue between Shades and the seagull: "I just wanted a beach holiday." "I can drop you here--" "NO IT'S FINE!"
Pine marten detective gives chase to an unknown character running off-screen. A manhole lies ahead with its cover open. Nearby there's a comical roadworks sign saying "Bottomless Pit Under Construction".
Pine marten detective Shades O' Reilly paces about whilst a magnifying glass hangs loosely from his pocket. It focuses the sun's rays that shine overhead, to the point where his tail is catching fire. He's too oblivious to notice.
Pine marten detective Shades O' Reilly is surprised as he holds a comical Swiss army knife. It contains a toothbrush, magnifying glass, umbrella, yo-yo, microphone, golf club and wooden spoon.

Digital art of a pine marten sitting on a log, drawn in the style seen in stained glass windows. The pine marten looks off pensively into the distance. A decorative border of lines and diamonds flank the sides of the picture.
Caption reads "Folks love the sound of waves, but audiophiles love the sound of .WAVs". In the foreground sits an otter holding a shell to their ear, and a fennic fox with over-sized headphones connected to a hi-fi music system. Behind them is a nautical wave crashing on one side and an audiowave on the other.
Pine marten detective Shades O' Reilly leaps up and stuffs letters into an overfilled post box. The post box has burst open spilling letters and packages onto the floor
An annoyed mouse stands in front of a camera, no food to be had. And they say the camera never lies...
A lone mouse wanders through a winter landscape. The sun creates stark shadows from the pine trees.
A squirrel monk is in the library writing. At the desk lies old parchments, a pot of ink and a hot drink still brewing.
Three woodland creatures, a badger, a squirrel and a mouse, dressed in medieval garb are walking through an idyllic forest with the sun shining down on them
