Some time ago I ran across a great collection of illustrations by professional illustrators of children’s illustrations of monsters, in a side-by-side format. I was unable to find the original source (possibly somewhere in DRB) for the images below, but here is a link to the site of one of the artists, Dave Devries, who certainly had something to do with the concept. He’s got a great collection of work and related stuff for sale, too.
Tacky Raccoons 
Maybe I’m just easily impressed, but I REALLY like these; both the concept and its execution.

I especially like the 1st one. Very tusky.

There are more of these on the linked website. Seeing the “enhanced” kid’s concepts are awesome. The very tusky one is my favorite, too.
