**resurepus** · 06-16-2009, 03:28 PM

Hey, do you feel like sketching? Here's your chance to create a unique creature using your imagination!
Check out the monster sketch contest!

**Coy** · 06-16-2009, 03:35 PM

nice contest idea.

**resurepus** · 06-16-2009, 03:36 PM

Thanks!
Now grab your graphic tablet and work!!!

**Coy** · 06-16-2009, 03:39 PM

Paper and pencil for me..

..
I haven't used my tablet enough to be really good at it yet. it takes a bit of getting use to. lol

quick question.. Did you want it to be converted to illustrator and finished or just the ruff sketch?

**resurepus** · 06-16-2009, 03:45 PM

paper and pencil is perfect! (thanks for the question actually, I'll add that to the description)
no vectorization is required unless you think a vector rendering would work best for your monster.

sure, a background history always helps. It'll help us to understand what the monster is for you. And of course it is interesting why you see monster in that particular way.

Announcement:
I think it is kind of boring is I moderate all community contests. It is much more fun if we invite other members to do that once in a while. So this contest is moderated by .:FMD who kindly agreed to provide constructive criticism to your entries! So I guess I should let him answer your questions now.

I agree with resurepus.

Give a little background of the monster...is it a child hood monster, is it something you see in your dreams, is it the monster that eats your socks

, your inner monster, etc...

Not only will it give us all a good laugh or maybe sympathize with you, it will better understand why you chose your monster to look that way.

Good luck to all that submits an entry as i am looking forward to seeing everyones!

Same here.

Oh, and I also cannot post in some forums, coz there's no icons/graphics. Hope this will be fixed soon.

garf03 · 06-20-2009, 01:54 PM
