The Minotaur Entry # 4

The Minotaur Entry # 4

Holy beauty and the beast batman! Get it cause the girl is hideous! yesss! I kid I kid! Really though the holding hands is kind of sweet as hell and you gotta love some Minotaur horn accessories! My only complaint is I think maybe he could benefit from a little too small, mustard colored, Ewok vest!

The Yowie Entry # 1

The Yowie Entry # 1

So first off, world record turn around time from posting to submission and I thank you for that, I swear… and maybe its not intentional but there are butterflies coming out of that/those butts! And I know that make me very happy.

The Pukwudgie Entry# 9

The Pukwudgie Entry # 9

Man, credit where credit’s due that’s pretty fantastic. Though there’s a part of me that wants it on Mr Shirilla’s Necronomicon paper. And I like that if you lose the top part the bottom half of the bow looks like a sweet pipe! Also good use of wee.

Judge’s Commentary

The Wampanoag tribe could have used a bunch of these warlike little creatures to meet the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock (look it up if you like) instead of inviting them to dinner – we all know how well that turned out for native Americans. This guy has a Rastafarian look to him that speaks to an old Bob Marley fan. I love the bony knees – great detail all around on this drawing.

The Behemoth Entry # 7

The Behemoth Entry # 7

By Gads is this guy cute! From his bumpy lil’ nose to those freaking toes! And I know they make metal shirts bigger than most but can you imagine the shipping costs on that thing! And don’t think I missed that tiny squished camper… very nice!

The Brownie Entry # 8

The Third Place Brownie Entry

Long ago I worked with a dude who after particularly smokey lunches would grab the broom so no one would notice how very high he was. It always ended in a pose like this, slowly sweeping his own shadow… also, this is fantastic!

Judge’s Commentary

I am not going to lie, I have no idea what is going on here, but I find myself gravitating towards this fantastically drawn man. Not to mention, who doesn’t love a man who will actually pick up a broom and clean?

The Griffin Entry # 7

The Griffin Entry # 7

Aww! A lil sleepy baby Griffin! Love his little gold fuzz highlights and blobby stars are my favorite! So nicely done… How’s this work though? Do Griffins learn to fly before they playfully romp? Cause if not he’s severely limited for play space.

Cupid Entry # 5

Cupid Entry # 5

I’m assuming it’s not intended but I instantly thought “hey that cupid is eating lice!”… I mean what shows love more than a lil nit-picking. Great glazed and heartened eyes and I swear hairy armpit drawings are just funny this year.

the Loch Ness Monster Entry # 13

the First Place Loch Ness Monster Entry

1..2..3..Go! So while I’m not positive, I think I know the players in this one and if so it’s cute as hell, but I also like to imagine that it could be the cover for a creepy “Splash” style 3-way fan-fiction piece! Great colors btw.

Judge’s Commentary

Hands down my girls’ favorite. Plus the guy in the flannel looks kinda queasy. I’m guessing this was all his lady’s idea.

the Valkyrie Entry # 11

he Valkyrie Entry # 11

AH! surprise boob! I was all sidetracked marveling at its coloring and the sweet ass raven and didn’t even notice it for a second. Crop this in a lil tighter and this could totally be the label on a magical, viking themed hair thickening potion, I mean, that is and amazing amount of flowing golden hair!

Judge’s Commentary

No doubt. Gorgeous curly hair, mysterious crow, desolate eyes, and the best drawn boob! Your eyes go to her boob every time you see this drawing.

The Red Legged Scissor Man Entry # 6

the Great Long Red Legged Scissor Man Entry # 6

Everyone move aside, hot bloodied scissor woman coming through! I’m especially entertained with the “ta ta” caption. Though even with practice and magical powers, I’m betting its hard to get thumb lopping leverage using that grip.

The Leprechaun Entry # 17

The Leprechaun Entry # 17

its such a nice shade of sage…
but what puzzles me is their age…
is it love in that smile…
or a green pedophile…
I’ll just leave it for you to gauge…

Judge’s Commentary

Something about this one just struck me – maybe it’s the use of green or the shamrocks. It made me think of Brigadoon. Submitted by Nikki!

The Nephilim Entry # 14

The Nephilim Entry # 14

That’s fantastic color and scope, but the proportions of the limbs and the stringeness of the hair make me think that this one spent a lot of time as a young ‘n killing cats. And giant or not I bet his feet are cold!

Judge’s Commentary

A lot of work was put into this drawing, but I would assume that Nephilim would be more sinister and confident. They know they are better and stronger than everyone else around them. Submitted by Nikki

The Melon Heads Entry # 10

The Melon Heads Entry # 10

Man does this make me want a hard boiled egg! So very round! And love the lil Letterman gap in her teef and how is it possible that the smaller they get the cuter they are?

Judge’s Commentary

The look of contentment on the faces of these gruesome creatures is perfect. I feel as though they would lure you in with their rosy cheeks, just to the point you were close enough to attack. And the fact that they apparently breed in litters makes them all the more terrifying.

The Coonigator Entry # 8

The Third Place Coonigator Entry

Aww he’s freaking adorable too! The caught in the spotlight/telescope lens and the palette really gives him a warm fuzzy feel. And I kinda love that even the best of you are having a bit of an issue lining up the gator snout with the coon head!

Judge’s Commentary – Holy Moses. Is it possible that this entry was drawn from an *actual* photo of the rare and elusive coonigator? Also loved the binocular/telescope effect. Submitted by Nikki!

The Mothman Entry # 10

The Mothman Entry # 10

So this one’s from our judge so she cant win, but damn possible she should be able to as that’s an amazing retro/fantasy palette, nice to see a lil romance in a pic and i love that his antennae look to be eyebrow extensions!

The Vegetable Lamb Entry # 17

The Vegetable Lamb Entry # 17

Man that umbilical cord looks tight! Great torque on that tree and you gotta imagine, the way bodies work, that’s probably a reasonably sensitive tether. Great feeling of determination and frustration all at once, and bonus points for this one still having snow on the ground.

Judge’s Commentary

This one made me laugh, and I don’t know why! I like the ram’s seeming power over the tree, and his apparent disinterest in the vegetation around him. Also the whole umbilical cord situation looks very uncomfortable. Submitted by Nikki

The Hydra Entry # 9

The Hydra Entry # 9

Man you guys are getting good! It’s their lil adoring faces that make this so fantastic, well that and their lil hydra head mole hairs! Apologies for cropping in so hard that you miss her feet but I always tell you kids draw square!

The Weeping Woman Entry # 8

The Weeping Woman Entry # 8

Oooh so moody, and came with it’s own caption:
The tide has gone to hands of the moon,
Follow Llorona, follow, follow…
Her voice has brought us far from our room…
Follow Llorona, follow, follow…
The cold will not hurt nor the woman in the deep,
We are very small and for only her to keep.
We have followed Llorona,
Followed…
Followed…
But when the tide returned she gobbled us up with the sea.
