This Week the Monster Of Elizabeth Lake

The Bat Winged, San Andreas Fault Living, Long Lost Pet of the Devil

PacedForSummer
We’re finishing up Lake Monster Summer big, and by big I mean fifty feet tall and bat winged! Put yourself in California, in a massive lake (not one of them silly man made reservoirs) perched directly a top the San Andreas fault line. A lake, with it’s attached fissures, who could potentially, be so deep, that maybe, just maybe it was built as a gateway to hell. Least that’s how the legend goes, the Devil built the lake and left his pet to guard the gate… Mind you the pet hasn’t done a whole lot but be seen occasionally… but what a sight it must have been!

We’re going straight to descriptors.

  • Easily 50 feet tall (or long)
  • Flies out of the depths of the lake on giant bat wings
  • Has a gargoyle like head a top a long giraffe like neck
  • Also has six legs!
  • Birthed from evil! And now lives in California

That’s what you’ve got! All I ask is you don’t try too hard and have fun! we’re taking some extra time cause it’s still summer for a bit, so we’ll close off submissions for judgement midnight of Friday the 25th… As always, We’ll gather the judges council and pick one to win a shirt, so get your asses doodling!

Judgement Is Complete

Winning Monster Of Elizabeth LakeThe Judge’s Council has convened and verdict given! Here’s how judgement for the Monster of Elizabeth Lake played out!

Judge Ken MIDWESTERN TANUKI!!!

Judge Mona followed up with: My vote goes to Chip. This beast tugs at my heart strings combining the giant, heavy headed cuddliness of GiR, with all the best parts of a Where the Wild Things Are beasty.

Then Judge Sarah I’m giving it to you Chip! The devil horns are a nice touch, plus the head size to neck skinniness ratio is top notch. Also I’m imagining he’d be really cute curled up next to me with his giant head on my feet.

Judge Cody Said: Well he didn’t say anything, cause he’s traveling overseas on a pitch… but know he loves you all!

And Since we’re short one judge! to avoid the messiness of a tie, and to teach you all a lesson about never letting me be able to win! I’m casting my lonely vote to ITNet1, cause dammit! his lake monster series has made me very happy, and dude deserves some credit for that! And know that you guys put forth a pretty damn nice selection this round, so thanks for that! And nice to see you pop back in Mr Garvey!

Disagree if you must but know that judgement is law and to the winner a shirt will go…. Thanks to drawers and judges alike. And even though the contest is done we’ll always welcome new Elizabeth Lake Monster drawings for the archives! So draw on, and remember, 25 beasts drawn earns you a shirt!

Yes our fisherman has survived his Indiana turtle stalking! And looks like he found himself a nice shady spot on the lake, so long as you dont pay attention to how much eeeeeevil radiates from this thing’s every pore and 6 webbed duck feet!

It’s hard to know exactly why this feels so much like a bootleg Danzig 7″ (I know, who the hell would boot a danzig single in 2017… how is that even a thought?) At first I thought it was the ‘roided up wingskins, then I figured, nah it’s the 4 legged fishnets, or maybe the shirt… or maybe the skull necklace… needless to say it hits a lot of those same notes and has the added advantage of sort of looking like its launching from a B hole! So I’m all for it!

Hey I know what this guy looks like! I thought I was leaning Sendak-ian… but that chin is 1000% from the face of the big stone “they look like big, strong, good, haaaands…” dude from never ending story… And he’s he’s throwing the horns so you know he’s eeeeeevil!

God I love a mystery! With just a tiny bit more context I’d know whether this is Evil genius fingers to the third power or a super welcoming “come on! jump! I’ll catch you! I promise!” but we’re left adrift in a foggy sea of wonder… which has might I add i very nice palette and hey… Sauron!

See I have a hard time judging whether this is a giant, lithe, winged, seanbeast unfurling himself from the bottom of the lake about to do great evil? or if he’s merely stretching some tight hammies before a run? I mean both work?
