Pop Quiz Monster!

Updated: Due to the site being down for much of the day, this Pop Quiz deadline is moved to tomorrow.

I haven't done one of these in forever, but I'm sick of Open Critique Day and I want to see more of what you all can do. So here's your one-day Pop Quiz challenge:


Make a cool monster.

You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best. No backgrounds or elaborate scenes, just an illustration of a monster like you'd find in "Fiend Folio" or the classic "Monster Manual". I'll also need a description and name for the beastie though that shouldn't be in the image itself.

Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I'll announce the winner either tonight or first thing in the morning.

  • All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, whatever);
  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.

Good luck!
