Contest Brief

Hi

I'm looking for a UNIQUE 2D Monster (cartoonish) design!

The important word here is to be UNIQUE.

I visited hundreds of websites looking at monsters designs...
so please do NOT copy any concept.

I've seen a lot of designs on pintrest.com , deviantart.com & even on
google images when you search for the word "monster" ..

so please don't waste your time or mine by submitting a concept similar to something already there.


If you can visualize/conceptualize a unique monster character, then the rules are simple:

1- You may enter with as many entries as you like.
(each must be a different concept).

2- Final concept must be fully colored ... but initial entry may be
greyscale or colored (just to show the concept).

Even quick (but detailed) pencil drawings would be accepted (as an entry).

Later if I pick your design, it must be colored (one or multiple colors
depending on your concept) & rendered in more details.

3- Do NOT put your design on T-shirt or mug mocukup or anything.
Just show me your concept, I can visualize it.


4- You may show the monster in one (or more) of the following situations/statuses:
- Scary.
- Funny.
- Confused.
- Serious.
- Happy.
- Sad.


5- Monster character should NOT be super simple!
I need something that's somehow has a "soul"

in other words, add details to the monster, so that I can
call him/her a name... just by looking at your concept.


6- Concepts that are very simple (or soulless) , will be rejected.
I'm not looking for "royalty free monsters" or "clipart monsters".

5- Final design will be submitted in high resolution (at least 2,500 pixels)
along with original (editable/layered) *.AI file
(or similar if you are using something other than Adobe Illustrator).
I will own full rights on the designs you will provide.


7- Document your work as you do it!
I will need to SEE how did you reach the concept?
not just the final render or design.

So, its part of the final deliverables to show me trials or
sketches you did until you reached that final concept in your entry.


8- FINAL WARNING (sorry for shouting):
Please stay away from ALL monsters/concepts that appeared in ANY animated movie.

Talking (main) characters or silent monsters in the crowd or background... Do NOT copy the concept of any of these.

I'm looking for truly unique concepts only...
if you feel you cannot do it, just skip this contest...
I will survive! :)

Thanks for your interest and time,
