Create a Monster Contest
Art
Draw what your monster looks like. You can use any tools to draw your monster that you'd like. Photoshop, Pencil & Paper (& Scanner), anything. With this, submit your picture and a name for your monster, as well as a description if you feel it necessary.
Lore
Give your monster a back story. How and when was your monster born/created? Where did they come from? How old are they? What's happened over their life? How did they get to where they are currently?
Mechanics
How does the monster move, attack, die. What skills do they have? Any immunities? Special powers? Implement your monster into the game (any game in the series), talk about how they'd work in regards to game balance, what their purpose in the game would be, etc. Your best bet here would be to look at a monster wiki article and check out the different fields of data that go into monster development.

It is best if the monsters created are original to the creator. With that said, a drawing of the monster or the mechanics of it in the game could be original. Ultimately, it is up to you and what you decide to do. The entry would be considered valid.
By the way, this is the lurker Shisou. With the switch to Curse, I somehow got locked out of my old username. It's been so long, I forgot the details, but it'd be a shame if I couldn't update my stickied thread on al Hazir's journal next media update.
About the log in situation, PM Sixen.
does the lore have to be first person narrative like your example ?
2: I assume I can send multiple pics ? or maybe even,,,, an animation?
Make sure to submit your final entry in the submissions thread.
thanks
