CharacterFORGE 2D :: ROUND 011 :: SWAMP THING
Important! Please go over Plagiarism and other FAQs for these activities.

And..check out the The RULES

BRIEF: Swamp Thing Live Action Movie concepts.

Here's the scenario: You've just been hired to do character designs for the new live action film "Swamp Thing" based off of the DC Comics story. The film is set in present day. Scientist Alex Olsen is caught in a lab explosion caused by his co-worker. Olsen is physically altered by chemicals and the forces within the swamp. Unable to make his wife realize his true identity, the Swamp Thing sadly ambles to his boggy home.

SPECS: Swamp Thing is half man and half plant. He is approximately 30 years old and must look more like a character with the intelligence to speak than a wild creature. Most importantly keep it fresh and original!

Wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_Thing

Here's a pic of Dick Durock as Swamp Thing in the old TV series.
