For Two Week’s Only: Draw Any Beast From the Archives!

So here’s the deal, I’m going to reorganize some stuff in hopes of encouraging participation. In the meantime, you’re going to want your beast count as high as you can get it. Here’s your chance to finish that one you never got back to, or the great idea you had but you were so high you forgot until now, or if you just came late to the party and are super bummed that you never got to submit a woodbooger or a naked hobgoblin, well here’s your chance, we’ll collect all the new ones and pick our winners here, and the new beasts will join the old in their respective archives for perpetuity!

Now we’ve done over 100 beasts, and Itnet1, Lil Katie and Sneurat have come close but other than me no one’s done all of em so I know this is enough to keep most of you busy, and for the reeeeaaaly lazy here’s a link to all the archived beasts!

judgement Is Complete

our judge Our Judge this week was Carol Calihan, my mother in law, a friend and long time beast drawing veteran (see her archives here) Been a while since we’ve seen her submitting so I wanted to get her and her sweet mind bending creations back in the game!

The Gnome Entry # 21

The First Place Free For All Entry

Ooh remarkably womby! I mean given, it could have giant watery eyes, but I’m not entirely sure it gets much cuter than this. And while that headpiece could just as easily be some sort of snail shellish Gnome cap, I’m gonna go ahead and give you extra fern points for what could be a fiddlehead frond!

Judge’s Commentary – I love that this little guy can fit so perfectly in teh garden… he can even fertilize himself! Bet he’ll be ripe and ready for picking come October!

The Questing Beast Entry # 20

The Second Place Free For All Entry

“Pictured here with mystical magical blue stank cloud” – Ha! you gotta love a colored stank cloud! Now is anyone else feeling Rockette with this one, and like the dancers not the swedish pop group from whenever the hell that was… and hell it was Roxette… Anyways, it’s gotta be that one really well formed calve right? Great spottage and kinda love the lacey doily at the base of the lizard neck!

Judge’s Commentary – This guy reminds me of all my old pets combined! Plus for a beast it has gorgeous legs!

The White Worm Entry # 12

The Third Place Free For All Entry

Something about this dude’s long thin structure that makes me feel less like he is floating in the arctic and more that he’s atop the remnants of a dumpling in someones digestive tract, but those hollow bloody eyes do chill me to my core!

Judge’s Commentary – A little ET-ish, But it makes me smile! Sooo expressive “in my mind” I know just what he’s saying… But I’m not telling!

The Coonigator Entry # 16

The Coonigator Entry # 16

Ok so if any of you saw my initial caption it was long and wandering cause… um… I posted it upside down… it’s amazing what a lil thing like “backwards” will do to a brain… now that it’s fixed it makes all the sense in the world, Im no longer seeing random owl faces and honestly he’s cute as hell! Though I will still leave this part from the old caption: I always love when a drawing reminds me I need to set aside a summer week some year to try peyote! And I will note that I’m sad I no longer get to say christ posed possessor of dangling demon hands…but at least the drawing is now how it was intended!

The Centaur Entry # 15

The Centaur Entry # 15

Now I could be entirely wrong but I sorta think the best aspect of being a centaur is the independence human arms bring, (and depending on your perspective I suppose the horse schlong might have some value) So while this guy might be able to get by on looks alone, I fear somewhere in those eyes I can feel his loss…

The Oni Entry # 13

The Oni Entry # 13

Sweet! If I only knew the Japanese for “Bam Bam” this could be all about an asian folklore and Flintones crossover… but since I dont… let’s just imagine how unpleasant it must be on a windy day to have that much eye exposed!

The Nephilim Entry # 15

The Nephilim Entry # 15

See if my arm were that badly broken AND my phone was going off in my fanny pack, I’m not so sure I would be that happy about the way things played out, but then again he has really nice hair…

Almighty Grouping of Random Beasts Entry # 1?

Almighty Collage of Random Beasts Entry # 1

Ha so we have a lil cooperative doodle from two of our artists combining a lot of their past characters and I believe a few new, like I assume the wrestler is a Golem (what given his obvious rocklike strength) And I’m pretty sure there is new Coonigator in there too, but my favorite by far is how freaking awkward that Chickenfoot has grown up to be… I mean that’s one hell of a long torso. Regardless gotta love cooperation and it’s always nice to see Katie’s Hootpecker… wait am I even allowed to say that…

The Pigsie Entry # 21

The Pigsie Entry # 21

Man such a good bleach bottle pig face! Someone slap this Pigsie five! And do those feet have pig nosed toes?!

The Cactus Cat Entry # 22

The Cactus Cat Entry # 22

Oh man that is the mustache of a cat who knows a few things about life! I also like that he is very slowly typing a novel on an invisible typewriter, one paw drop at a time…

The Mock Turtle Entry # 22

The Mock Turtle Entry # 22

I like that it sorta works as the slightly eccentric grandmother who loves trinkets and knows all about magic, or a cross dressing (and slightly amphibious) central American dictator! And those layers of would be mouths and nostril flaps are enthralling!
