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

Creature #56 :: Where the Wild Things Are

Deadline: May 29th 2012 11:59pm [PST]

Challenge Overview:
This past week marked the passing of the great and very influential children's book writer and illustrator, Maurice Sendak.

We thought it would be appropriate to dedicate this next challenge to his memory, and the stories most of us grew up with, most notably, one of his most famous works; "Where the Wild Things Are"

For this round, we will keep it fairly open. Please take a look at the book, do some research on Maurice's art style, and come up with a creature that pays tribute to Maurice and "Where the Wild Things Are"

Final Delivery:
We ask that you submit just one image to the finals thread that clearly shows your creature, preferably with a background. It would be cool if the image was in Maurice's art style, but not no firm restrictions, just bring out the kid in you and draw

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
