Good Luck!

Nice turn out this week with 5 entries.  All keeping to theme and some wild concept ideas.

Thank you for everyone's participation!

Winner this week is....

The Witch by Scott Weyers.

Congrats Scott!  Great non-traditional witch.  Loved the whole construction of the piece.  Using the zombie faces in the smoke balls clinched it.

Let me know what you have in mind for your prize.

Cheers!

Halloween is around the corner!  The challenge this week is to create a traditional Halloween themed monster.  Vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein, mummies, ghouls and etc are all acceptable concepts to choose from.

Keep it creative in putting it in a modern spin, love child of 2 themes, comedic or something totally new!  No need for highlights and shading if that is not in your wheel house.  Judging will be on strong, creative concepts and ideas!

Enter as often as you like.
