Welcome to the Creature Forge, the CGHUB 2D challenge of illustrating creatures of all shapes and sizes!

Creature #68 :: Battle Monster

Deadline: Jan 14th 2013 11:59pm [PST]

Challenge Overview:
For this round we want you to illustrate a battle monster; a giant radioactive, over the top creature that would be Godzilla's arch-nemesis. There are no limits to style, cartoony to realistic, all is game.

Final Delivery:
One image of your creature with a background that shows it's giant scale, preferably Tokyo/Japan as that is the main base of operations of Godzilla.
Optional: draw Godzilla fighting your creature BUT, your battle monster MUST be the main focus of the image.

--------------------------------------

Good Luck and be sure to post any questions or comments in this thread.

--------------------------------------

�Please don't keep everything secret, working on your image in private only to post it at the very last hour as a surprise. The point of sharing sketches and work in progress material is so everyone can learn from each other, receive crits, compliments and improve their skills in a classroom/workshop like environment. There are no teachers and no students per say, but try to offer help to others when possible. Please be open to receiving crits, and paint-overs or mock ups of your work, as we are all here to participate, have fun, learn, grow and enjoy what each week has to offer.� --Mike Corriero

a while back I painted this for CA from a similar topic...it'd be fun to produce another giant radioactive beastie, but I think I'll sit out this time, unless I change my mind later on...

Nice one Rob.

I'm gonna see if I can whip something out before the end of the year.

Started with this red demon but I didn't like the pose. I used it to overdraw the facial features I liked and using some foto referencing material I'm currently going this far:

Just want to make sure before I start, but are we allowed robots or does it have to be an organic creature?

Hi all,

Wonderful theme to start the year off.

Prabath · 01-04-2013, 03:37 PM

Here's my attempt so far. Primordius!!!

Brynn_Metheney · 01-04-2013, 04:16 PM

Really stoked to see what you folks come up with!

Prabath · 01-07-2013, 06:07 PM

Some great designs going on here. Really nice everyone. Here's a cleaned up line art version of my terrible beastie... (should have envisioned it a little to the left!!!)

Cheers!!!

You guys are killing it!! This is going to be one bad ass lineup!

Canaan · 08:15 PM

still deciding how the scene should play out, sort of nearing the finalised design for the creature itself. Want to attach bits of rubble from building and so on to his body.
