The Gaki Entry # 15

The Gaki Entry # 15

You know there are always some personality types that thrive in any situation… sure you have to eat horrible things, but it’s not like there’s any shortage of horrible things, if you just commit to it… and judging by this ones, stretched to the limit, braces… he’s committed!

The Sea Goat Entry # 10

The Sea Goat Entry # 10

Man I know when I say this often enough it starts to lose it’s impact, but this is majestic as f*ck! Nicely incorporated goat spots addind to teh depth and for all you future water park engineers out there, dammit if this wouldn’t make for a festive way to end a slide!

The Woodbooger Entry # 18

The Woodbooger Entry # 18

Man i wonder if i still have some acid somewhere… and is that a hitler ‘stache?

The Buggane Entry # 7

The Buggane Entry # 7

Good thing he’s wearing goggles cause that rocket cross looks dangerous as hell!

The Hobgoblin Entry # 1

The Hobgoblin Entry # 1

Amazing what a “g” does to a word! Nice action in this one, points for reminding me of Army of Darkness, and extra points for the shoe stitching!

The Boggart Entry # 8

The Third Place Boggart Entry

Oh you are a precious lil thing! I mean what are those? Labiasticles? Is he she under arrest? Is that a tongue or a pacifier? All I know now is this is one of those wonderful things that makes me believe there is in fact still magic and mystery in this world!

Judge’s Commentary – Oh Scotty, how I’ve missed you… kid spends what? six months in Portland and comes back drawing balls and as Ken calls em “quitters” and somehow when it’s all done for some reason… I want to buy new sneakers… that my friends is genius!

The Gumberoo Entry # 11

The Gumberoo Entry # 11

Now maybe it’s just this one’s proximity to number 10 that first makes my brain think this is another reference to explosive flatulence? Cause really it could work pretty well as an anti McDs campaign… what with the arches soaked in murder and our impervious hero deflecting the attacks of corporate interests with his rubbery back just to bring us the truth?… ha… im still going with farts!

The Hoop Snake Entry # 5

The Hoop Snake Entry # 5

Ok So I’m usually pretty good at figuring these out, but it’s possible you’ve stumped me? is it that fractal looping screensaver? or do i have it sideways and it’s a mummified skeletal eel on one of them there vibrating tables to make it seem alive? Or maybe I’m missing a real obvious option? Regardless I thank you for your submission!

The Merman Entry # 1

The Merman Entry # 1

Ah nothing like a sunset to pretty up a beastly ocean scene… and that could be the most intricate path taken to a boner joke we’ve seen here… And if it’s unintended that’s even better.

The Questing Beast Entry # 9

The Questing Beast Entry # 9

Sweet! Excalibur making an appearance And the crazy, mosaic tile style geometry of this one is fantastic, and that grid is humorously cleanly done… and such a good dead eye!

Dragon Vs Dwarf Entry # 9

Dwarf vs Dragon Entry # 9

Possibly the most earnest dragon yet! That is some wild dwarfing! and i love tiny tiny arms! I bet a little fulcrum adjustment might give our dwarf the mechanical advantage he so intensely desires.

The Fury Entry # 8

The Furies Entry # 8

Man that really is word for word the description! From the brown-bagged dog face to the birth from junk and everything in between! I’m especially fond of the zippered peen!

The Snawfus Entry # 6

The Snawfus Entry # 6

Titled – Nothin beats some ole fashion antlertop huntin… I’m digging the abstractions in sizes and domains! And target on his chest or not, that Snawfus looks like he has a helluva good time!

the Cerberus Entry # 12

the Cerberus Entry # 12

the caption says “What’s better than one pocket puppy? A three headed obnoxious pocket puppy!” My eye doesn’t know where to stop… It’s like a kaleidoscope of pups!

The Cactus Cat Entry # 1

the Cactus Cat Entry # 1

Our first ever Friday evening entry! And he came with his own caption – “So much work for one old fashion cactail” First off, Cactail is funny as hell and second I’m hoping this guy knows to toss his first runnings, cause that looks delicious!

Gol-Goroth Entry # 12

Gol-Goroth Entry # 12

Man another one that i can’t peg where exactly the giggles come from! The hands of evil anticipation? The world can die but I’ll live on regardless of what this wave does grin? or is it the hawaiian shirt and speedo?

the ChickenFoot Entry # 12

Chicken Foot Entry # 12

Don’t worry lil guy, the power of the poultry will triumph end the end, history is on your side! Is he holding balloons? and i love that he’s perched on one of those there tie your boat to me thingies!

the KinderFresser Entry # 17

the Kinder Fresser Entry # 17

Mind Blown! Partially for the anglerfish inclusion and partially with the realization that if monsters fished for kids with pretzels I wouldn’t have made it past 4! Points for the fishbrow and how plumply german/wiggam the kid looks!

The Pigsie Entry # 16

The Pigsie Entry # 16

The flandersesesss! I bet the negative got flipped cause i swear they are all lefties! And you’d think that Ned would have taken care of that right away but then again you’d have thought he wouldn’t have let Homer kill his wife…

the Dungavehooter Entry # 8

the Dungavehooter Entry # 8

Oooh two giant straws in two weeks! This one’s a few messy ink splots away from being a Ralph Steadman. Lotta good in here from the hovering in mid snort woodsman, to the sun glasses and mouth stitching! Good fun!

the Hodag Entry # 13

the Hodag Entry # 13

I swear its the body language on some of these that cracks me up so… I mean is he angry? is he just a stern fellow generally? Does he know there’s dynamite in the cheese? His umpire-alligator belly makes me pretty damn happy too!

The Fungus Demon Entry # 6

The Fungus Demon Entry # 6

Ha! it came with the caption “ha ha” and I think I’m pretty comfortable leaving it at that!but it’s pretty great!

the Batutut Entry # 11

the Batutut Entry # 11

Well juggalos do pride themselves on welcoming the freaks and outsiders, I’d say a Batutut would fit in just fine. And I’m not entirely sure but I think he has a pocket on the breast of his fur which makes me pretty damn happy!

Judge’s Commentary

I would contemplate calling skullduggery that an ICP themed monster illustration gets selected for my judging, knowing of the host’s great desire to be part of that tribe, but perhaps it’s merely the capriciousness of The Norns. However, the details in this fine pic earn it my third place slot: the nipplepocket, a Ke Bang reference (I insist on Vietnamese references in my Batutut drawings), the TP, bald knees, et al. Some Juggalo did his research…

The Minotaur Entry # 11

The Minotaur Entry # 11

Interesting what a square corner will do, I assume this represents a touchscreen game of some sort, but the corners trick my eye so that I can’t imagine any depth to the device beyond a postcard, so now i’m seeing it as a postcard, which makes me wonder, what kind of dude, when trapped in a pretty simplistic maze filled with beasts and potential beast poop, stops to send his friends a postcard…

the Gatormen Entry # 11

the Gatorman Entry # 11

sadly this Caption lost to the winds of time

the Squonk Entry # 5

the Squonk Entry # 5

Ok so first off I love the structure, but you gotta help me out, is he just an urban Squonk? if he was in jail he wouldnt have access to a dumpster right? And I’m a huge fan of his somewhat insectoid segmentation and what is that a sucker?

The Golem Entry # 9

The Golem Entry # 9

Ha! the “Hi!” on his lil’ monitor face is adorably friendly… And while I assume there is an insider ref to junkyard wars, I’m just happy he’s got a trash can body and a plunger leg and the robot ween on the dog is pretty nice too!

The Golem Entry # 7

The Golem Entry # 7

Kinda humping robot from Robot Chicken, kinda IG88, the forgotten bounty hunter, he’s got a bow tie and a cinder block foot and the best fingers this week, I call that prepared for any situation. And I love that he’s got struts…

the Jackalope Entry # 11

the Jackalope Entry # 11

I just cant stop loving theses f’ing things! is it sexual? is it violent? is it the ol’ let me stick a digit in your mouth for humor? All i know is that it reminds me of one of those ’70s mother and child sculptures and i want it in my house!

the Jackalope Entry # 10

the Jackalope Entry # 10

Man there is something so escherly wrong with that mouth i want to go inside and see if there are stairs! came with a note that our artist accidently recreated the old Ratatat cover which I gotta admit i was unfamiliar with but judge for yourself

The Batsquatch Entry # 12

The Batsquatch Entry # 12

Oh no! another victim of ghost claw/limb syndrome! This little guys eagerness and random ass hair swoop are kinda cracking me up, though perhaps he could benefit from some big ass feet to make him a little bit squatchier.

The Batsquatch Entry # 3

The Batsquatch Entry # 3

At first I saw really happy and really really sad…then i paused… cause it looks a little to me like they’re singing and if they are singing it’s a remarkably different picture… Great bull butt btw!

Judge’s Commentary

Chips right, at first, it’s happy & sad. Then, it does sort of look like their singing. But, at a third glance, it occurred to me. That Batsquatch is about to blow a blood vessel in his eye and that cow is laughing at his feeble efforts to pick him up. Perfection.

The Fucanglong Entry # 15

The Fucanglong Entry # 15

This one could almost be a motivational poster “strive for greatness” or something And i kind of love that it’s the amount or remaining paper that determines the slant of the tail

The Fucanglong Entry # 14

The Fucanglong Entry # 14

And hello kitty… i think my favorite part is how far apart her eyes are and how close set they are on the Fucanglong suit, and it’s interesting how loose the lines are on the character yet so tightly wound about the treasure.

the Hootpecker Entry # 14

the Hootpecker Entry # 14

You know it makes some sense, owls love roosting in large holes in trees, woodpeckers love making holes in trees, a combo of both should essentially love making and living in luxury treeholes! Plus I love that he looks like he’s trying to see his brain through his brow!

the Succubus Entry # 17

the Succubus Entry # 17

Yes a late night from the bar entry! Now not being a huge drunken drawer as I’m usually too busy yammering about something I’m positive I know everything about, I’m curious if like drunken choices, you ever regret the creations?

the Succubus Entry # 6

the Succubus Entry # 6

Ooh there’s all sorts of fun stuff here from the wacky genie eyes and the fact that she’s obviously using one of those new invisible floating chaise lounges to the pup/beast hiding under the bed getting a little leftover succubusing

the Gnome Entry # 10

the Gnome Entry # 10

Ok so I see a Gnome with his tongue out, smoking a joint, in some very nice boots, in the crotch of someone who’s spread eagle over a reflective surface that reflects legs the wrong way… that or he’s excitedly coming home from school.

the Gnome Entry # 2

the Gnome Entry # 2

Good traditional gnome shape on this guy and such incredibly dead eyes… that’s got to be one hell of a strong strain passing over those creepily weird gnomey lips? And let’s all note, it seems Gnomes smoke exhales look kinda like poops!

the Piasa Bird Entry # 12

the Piasa Bird Entry # 12

Get it? He’s a big bird! And so fresh from saving the election (well I assume it’s possible some of you might be sad) I’m digging the ribbed tail, and god knows hands don’t get much better than bird’s! Also noted that you too forgot antlers.
