So I know from instagram that this artist has a bad ass version of this beast as a mask too! I gotta say I kinda love the character, walks that line of evil and adorable, and vaguely reminds me of the old blind skateboards reaper!
The Enfield Horror Entry # 4
Yessss! Run toto run, from the flyiiiiing monkeeeys! run toto run! (that’s a Bags song btw) This one is just begging to be a custom hood ornament… and technically the horror kinda of a good name for a car… someone make it happen!
The Innsmouth Look Entry # 4
I love it when the beast looks like a single frame in some “balls tripping” cartoon montage… you know just from the coloring, those skulls just morphed in from being hearts!
Belsnickel Entry # 11
At first I thought that all furry collar… but I’m pretty sure that’s sweet ass wizard beard on the left, gotta give bonus points for the evil swordsman ‘stache! And maybe it’s the textured background, but this one feels a lil like good old school alley art!
The Flitterbick Entry # 4
awwww kid you gone an’ flew so fast you popped your eyeholes! My favorite part is that I cant quite tell if the hands are part of an “aghast” mouth covering reaction… or if that lil squirrely chin is propped up in em like a 5th grade school photo?
The Dryad Entry # 5
Well that’s adorable! A lil forest born, girl power ‘roo!… I’ve always thought our most popularized ‘roo (from the Winnie stories) was a bit of a weenie! Time to liven sh*t up!
Paul Bunyan Entry # 3
… I was gonna say this looks a lil like your rugaru with an axe and wellies… but I can’t fault you for starting with a winning formula… plus what’s not to love about weapon wielding mutant mouse!
Echidna Entry # 5
I like it! It’s like the most horrific mistake from the strawberry shortcake factory is slowly getting eaten by a sea slug! Those slit eyed, colorful snakes officially made me lol a lil when i realized what they were!
The Rougarou Entry # 3
Hell yes! look at that skeletal, hellbound, fury… or is that furry? haha! Regardless, It’s obviously up to some swamp centered no good, And while it might be a lil batty for a wolfman, it sorta makes we want to watch Gremlins 2 again, cause that really is an amazing movie!
Vermont’s Pig Man Entry # 3
Those is some serious, serious, chompers for a pig whether it be a hollowed out horror skull or no! Thats such a great icon for “taking out eyes”! Also I kinda love the “no pigs” shirt with piggy faced padding on its shoulders
The Bunyip Entry # 2
Like the sensitive Bowie of bunyips! I mean he (or she) is literally fantasizing about death while in a pool it! That’s dark! And there’s something magical about the balance of the down turned alien grabbyhands and the royal cocks feather-like display of it’s horsetail!
The Bean Nighe Entry # 6
Look at the thoughtful forearm placement! Not sure if its the negative space, the giant eyes or the straight legged sitting posture but this one takes me on a little emotional roller coaster… at first glance it seems prettily somber, almost leaning on sad, but then you dig into those playful toes and fingers and you gotta smile… nicely played!
The Mummy Entry # 8
Man! the Australian youth pulling out some good creepy fun mummies this week! Such a good piercing, glowing stare, fantastic off kilter walking corpse stance and great visual anchor to tie it together with those golden feets!
The Ogre Vs The Pukwudgie Entry # 12
Did that ogre just eat all of a beaver short of its tail? And I wonder what kind of magical ogre hallucinogens he’s on to be aware the pukwudgie is there behind him while he stares deep into the depths of his own soul! I mean maybe the pukwudgie is really just him???
The Kappa Entry # 11
This one’s so hot it’s got grill marks! Ha! Seriously though, don’t eat turtles! They’re the closest thing to lizard people we have!
The Feral Children Entry # 3
I’m betting this one was raised by a Picasso print, a deck of playing cards and a shop vac! I’m sorta assuming the arrow is a representation of a spear, but I’m a fan of the idea of a devil tail randomly growing from her palm as well!
The Flying Heads Entry # 4
Now I get being aware of that one on the right as he looks shifty as hell, but that one on the left just looks like a pretty straight laced flying skull, guilt by association is my guess!
the Pig-Faced Women Entry # 2
Pig-faced Wendy? … Yes Pig-Faced Lisa?… Is the green water warm enough?… Yes Pig-Faced Lisa… Shall we begin?…Yes Pig-Faced Lisa…
The Sea Goat Entry # 6
So to absolutely change the song in your head…. you can totally sing “Sea Zebra” to the melody of “Dream Weaver”, enjoy that for the rest of forever! … I like how freaking excited that lil crab seems to be and that’s quite the magnificent tail!
Judge’s Commentary –
#6 – By far the number one entry for the artists under 10 years old category. Makes me want to watch Disney’s “Little Mermaid” – crab and all.
The Baba Yaga Entry #2
It’s funny how much more weight the floating blood drops give to the piece, that eye is amazing, in my opinion you can never have enough patchwork witches hut and you know those arms just want to hug!
Tauret Entry # 3
We’ve got another young’n a playing! It’s funny with what seemed to be reflecting breasts, it took me a second to grasp what exactly was happening there at the bottom but its pretty obviously a Tauret happily assisting with a birth… and while I will probably never have to deal with this situation from that perspective, I like to think while perhaps not the responsible choice, a smiling hippo in a headdress would be a hell of a lot more fun than a masked up doctor in scrubs…
