Matt's Monster Madness 2012 Day 5: Thing

As I did in 2008 and 2011, I will be posting a monster of the day during the month of October. There will be a new monster every day. Some may be sketched, some done digitally, some in photo editing, some sculpture, etc...


You can also follow me on Instagram to see the monsters that way too! My username is @mcrosser.

Today is the second one and it's called "Thing". It's photo edited, captured with my Motorola Xoom tablet. Click on the link below to see all the monsters for each year!

Day 17 - Cyclopsme.

This is a pic of me as a cyclops.

Artist Notes - Done in CorelDraw X5 and Photopaint X5 on a Windows 7 Dell laptop.

October Monster Madness 2011 - Day 11 - Gremlin

Growing up there were two kinds of Gremlins (besides the model of car, that is). There was a one you didn't feed after midnight in the movies and there was the one that was immortalized in cartoons. That gremlin came from WW2 airplane mechanics. If something weird went wrong with a plane, they blamed it on invisible creatures called Gremlins. Roald Dahl, the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of the original creators of the cartoon Gremlin. In fact, there were discussions with Disney into making the cartoon gremlins into a feature film during the early years of Disney Animated Movies. Alas, this is one of the shelved Disney projects.

Here is a photorealistic version of what a gremlin might look like if they were real. Don't look at this before going to bed!

Artist Notes - I used a photo I found off the internet for the face and added a nose, fangs and bottom jaw of a bear. I used CorelDraw X5 and Corel PhotoPaint X5 to combine the photo elements and add color.
