So while I’ll disagree with it, I gotta support creative freedom, and hell our judge is from Florida originally so you never know… that is a very nice fish though.
The Loveland Frogmen Entry # 4
Ooh going for a judge pander! Would someone remind me to buy some black construction paper please, I mean look at that orange chalk pop! I’m entertained that he’s not in the obvious frog pose and that he seems to be built out of insect and frog parts and regardless of the yogish slang balancing it, my brain can’t read “oh yeah” without doing it in Macho Man’s voice!
Anubis Entry # 7
Man I sorta wish I was as high as you today! Ha! It’s like the metal/horrorcore rap kid’s notebook mated with the kid who picks dandelions at lunch’s notebook! And great example of how varying arm length connotes distrust in your viewer! And I love that he has modern day jon bon jovi hair!
The Questing Beast Entry # 7
“Connect The dots Beast!” well I gotta admit I read the title and i got excited that I’d actually get to do some dot connecting, but looks like it’s already been done… that or those are ping pong balls and this is a still from a motion capture shoot for the weirdest animal crossing game ever!
The Wulgaru Entry # 4
Well that there is some damn fine tree butt! You know those giant boulder feet would be thunderous when chasing down evil which brings me to his delicate branchy lil arms, leaf tipped tickle torture as force of aboriginal justice? Meh… who knows really and I’m kinda in love with that koala anyways!
The Redcap Entry # 8
Well what good are talon like fingers if they are lying on the ground ya big dummy? Huge fan of the really long arms and beard and I find myself wondering what the hell he has stowed away in those puffy ass cheeks!
The Bishop Fish Entry # 5
Alright so seriously that lil dude is adorable… is he actually raising a crossed stone from the deep or simply ushering reverance with his outstretched fin? Also I’m pretty impressed that one of our vets has entirely swapped mediums yet again, to what looks to be acrylics even!
The Thriae Entry # 5
I know we’ve had a little chalk play here and there, but this is officially the first chalk on black so points for that! I love that her giant antennae looks like one of those blown glass water your plants while your away things, as always I’m a sucker for post apocalyptic crazy hair and anyone else reading from her body/thorax language that something just off frame has her a little “I’m into some weird stuff but… ummm… whoa”…
Judge’s Commentary
First Place for Sylvia Plath’s Bee Dreams! I imagine the artist just stabbing the crap out of the starry night swirl while listening to cats mate. This acme of beauty is something one of my clients is going to draw in play therapy someday, and I’m going to have to explain to granny why the kid watches her when she sleeps. Final diagnosis for this entry: Schizophreniform Disorder (hallucinations, disorganized speech, and social withdrawal).
the Cactus Cat Entry # 14
Pretty funny how a single entry can be both the most innocent and the most perverse. I mean those are some adorable cuddly cats sharing a sip, but that is one hell of a phallic cactus they are nursing from! Nicely played.
the Satyr Entry # 4
Yes! like running into someone else wearing the same shirt! Unacceptable! I assume that’s a horn of wine but I think it’s funnier as a slice of pizza, and I’m a huge fan of how lightly these two touch the earth!
Gol-Goroth Entry # 9
Oh I do so love being this confused by an entry! Is just one a Gol-Goroth? Are they one artistic representation of the duality of said Old One? And the one that looks vaguely like Bib Fortuna, his little gimpy leg is sooooo good!
the ChickenFoot Entry # 6
Hey who let the ghost of Gacey in here! So brilliantly creepy on so many levels! Almost none of you will get this but he’s wearing mousepants! He’s carrying around a basket of what I can only assume are his own eggs… and is he teasing us with those unhitched suspenders?
the KinderFresser Entry # 5
In my best Robert Downey Jr “Everybody knows, You never go full Hitler!” All that aside he is in hell, the lederhoofen on the girl and the addition of the scream are amazing touches! Entitled Iche libe de hosen in Hell! you can figure that out.
Judge’s Commentary
Ok, 5 wins because I want to see that as the hero image for this week, the little 20’s actress face on the kid is so out of place… hilarious!
The Pigsie Entry # 9
Whoah this is getting intense! From what i can glean here, the little girl from Amytiville dressed up like Tinkerbell and she and her imaginary pig-demon friend Jodie killed Cathy! I knew there was more to the demise of that strip! AAACKK!
the Dungavehooter Entry # 3
Man who’d of thunk a Dungavehooter would be so acrobatic! That lil’ guy is about to get snuffled without even getting knocked down. And do little people loggers log big logger trees or do they have their own tiny forests?
Judge’s Commentary
I dig this Dungavehooter’s hangtime. I’m also wondering if this could somehow be made into a video game (stay on the logs or be snuffed, lumberjack man!)
the Hodag Entry # 4
After researching… I found out the hodag does not like politicians, lawyers, or assessors… Looks like the Hodag took out an attorney. ooops. Personally I love that it could be lawyer bits under the Hodag or a clever anti lawyering costume!
The Fungus Demon Entry # 5
Yesss! So truly again no idea what’s going on but I’m going to hazard a guess that the lady might be Drusilla, and dammit Spike may be a decent looking guy but can you blame her for bailing for this furry ball of fun…gus! I love that i cant tell if his hands are on his junk or if that’s even his junk and how subtley shaded that lil bastards face is!
the Batutut Entry # 6
Man, even the beasts have olympic fever… I know the judge is saying ten but I’m calling a slight hyperextension in that weight bearing leg… and two questions? ghost orangutan? and is that a horn in the snakes maw or a well placed dart?
the Grindylow Entry # 9
Nothing like a good surprise underwater hug. Poor guy should have that leg-like tumor on his tail looked at, might be mermAIDS. And is that a cameo from the mythical Roosterworm at the bottom?
Judge’s Commentary
So many good bits to this drawing! HUGE fan of that mysterious right leg, and is it me, or does this Grindylow look like it’s about to RAWKlobster, giving out dueling, webbed metal signs! The inconspicuous bubble formation around the head makes me think it might already be headbanging! And come on with the King Prawn already, it’s like two winning pieces in one!
the Goat Sucker Entry # 4
Yes! One with antennae! The way nature intended it! I’m entertained that such a vast and desolate landscape still has such a warm welcoming sun! And I know some of you are worried about the goat, don’t.. they are very sure-footed!
the Ogre Entry # 7
Ooh the old Popeye as a metaphor for the classic fairy tale… though I’m going to disagree and say that while vastly entertaining your Popeye is so horribly misshapen, he too is more than likely at least got a lil Ogre in him…
Fairy Vs Unicorn Entry # 6
Three cheers for my favorite unicorn so far (the fat one is a close second) I mean it’s got everything a unicorn drawing should have: Odd coloration, overly rounded knee joints and that mane! And is that a pot plant licking that fairy?
the Baku Entry # 4
Baku is vanishing dreams from the Geisha girl And he’s vanishing almost every known law of anatomy and physics as well! How cool is it that he has a nose and a snout! And I bet they are fans up there, but I say bags of goldfish!
Judge’s Commentary
Genius. I don’t even understand the floating head. However. I love it. As a really bad artist myself, I aspire to be this awesome….
the Gatormen Entry # 15
I’m saying this one is a call to revolution against our reptillian overlords, their blue blooded puppets that carry out their wishes with a brief nod to the media and the whole in the crust north of Alaska leading to hollow earth!
the Squonk Entry # 6
I’m just going to play the full on ignorant card and assume the 34 is for Walter Payton. That vague windmill/tree thing is amazing and if you actually dig through the muck and tears that Squonk is really the perfect combo of good and bad
The Golem Entry # 5
Hells yes, a diorama! while I already gave the most delicious award out I hope you’ll be satisfied with the most sugar content by far award! and not entirely sure but he seems to have a marshmallow choad! What’s the gray? smoked salt?
the Jackalope Entry # 8
While they haven’t officially opened, I’m gonna guess that there wont be ra Jackalopian sex ring in the back of the shop… hell what am i saying, how would i know that’s a prostitute maybe its a Jackalope Grandma in a really short skirt?
The Batsquatch Entry # 8
Nothing comes between the batsquatch and his weed! That’s a pretty amazing little face on this dude, and how cool is it that his wings/arms are that uncomfortably high! Again I’ll say…weed leaves really hard to doodle!
The Minotaur Entry # 5
You know I can’t say New Order is really a favored band in my world but the moment i saw this i started humming that dumb, “Oh you’ve got green eyes, Oh you’ve got blue eyes…” song, so you know, it had an instant mind warping effect and you gotta give that power props. There’s something cutely cubist about his lil mino-mouth, and points for calf wrapped sandals, as everyone knows they are the style most preferred by cow people!
Judge’s Commentary – If you were to ask me my three favorite things they would be: skyflowers, cats and giant minotaur asses… two out of three ain’t bad.
The Fucanglong Entry # 8
So I have an almost perfect record of interpreting this artists work incorrectly so they’ve started coming with explanations. Moral of this story is Dragons don’t like rodents in their treasure holes! Those dragon feet and that cat are both amazing.
Judge’s Commentary
I totally dig the whacky perspective, color and mischievous cat with a crazy tail. I looked at this one over and over because I couldn’t figure out if a tree was growing out of the cat’s butt and the sideways running bunny was just trippy.
the Great Pumpkin Entry # 7
One of the problems I had with the Peanuts was their apparent lack of problem solving, I mean sure they seemed to survive, but just a little less emotive posturing and a little more turning around would have saved years of waiting.
Judge’s Commentary
Maybe the gang was oblivious to the obvious, but the Great Pumpkin was about much bigger things! It is about believing in something like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny…blah, blah, blah. I just love the hopeful Linus in this drawing. And bonus points for including Charlie Brown in his ghost with extra eyes costume. Keep waiting Linus!
the Gnome Entry # 12
Ha! Alien Gnomes! And talk about your judge pandering or it might be a touch of poking… but hey its recognition none the less, and perhaps that guy should get a massage while he’s there his shoulders are waaaay outta wack!
the Piasa Bird Entry # 7
My lord how high are you? Ha! it’s like a Yes record, crossed with Tomb Raider crossed with hell I don’t know a print from the giant peacock store? That thing is amazingly creepy and you gotta love the trashy sheer skirt… nicely done
Judge’s Commentary
I don’t know why but I like feeling stupid and I have no idea what’s going on here. It’s so far off the mark that I’m hoping some savant lunatic weirdo is behind it and I’ll “get it” in about 5 years.
the Pilgrimm Entry # 10
Zombie Pilgrimm? A wolf in Pilgrimms clothes? Regardless those are some damn nice Pilgrimm booties and the socks do such a nice job of accentuating the pure Pilgrimm form… and that’s a damn nice turkey too.
the Turkey Entry # 34
You know I like to think I have a pretty good imagination, but I’m just not seeing turkey in this one ; )
the Turkey Entry # 6
Won’t you ever learn turkey? you cant tell me what to do… you’d be much better off with a sign that just says “I Should be Eaten” cause then I’d start to question your angle… Wrong or not, he is adorable.
The Long Wang Entry # 8
Another one of those “could be a 1980s prog album cover” entries, And sidetracked here but is it just “Heavy Metal” that makes me think of pteradactlys and prog or was there actually a legit source of that thought? I’m a little bit thinking his tightly curved shape is meant to hint at some male genitalia but I think its a 1000 times funnier if he’s just been shot in the gut with the eye of Sauron!
The Pope Lick Monster Entry # 5
Man I never would have imagined he or Mickey to be that freaking huge! Regardless when titans battle there’s bound to be a loser and it aint our goat man this week… What I’m trying to figure out is if that’s Picachu driving the tram?
the Gorgon Entry # 2
This one’s kinda scary, so bleak so cold, and that really is a kinda remarkably ugly face… my favorite part is the would be fur shading that seems to make a cloudlike crotch bush! well that and the lil gorgon pet.
Your Destructor Entry # 12
Two ways of looking at this one… well technically three, first the hitchhikers guide style dolphins leaving pre exploding doom, second the dolphins are ripping holes in the earth’s crust or third, the earth dies of a brutal sex, corona and weed fest!
