CONTEST ENTRY for this Years URBAN LEGENDS CONTEST I was inspired to do this art project because of Michael Jackson's Thriller. At the begining of the video, you see MJ sitting in a theatre eating popcorn with his mouth open and a big teethy smile. It just strikes me funny. other things that inspird this is the title URBAN LEGENDS - I like to nail a subject as close as possible and with there being an "S" at the end of Legend, I had to have more than one Halloween Spirit. Now if you look hard, I got the most famous of the monsters - legends in there, however, they don't look like the way they're known for. As I made this, I changed who played the part, some of these you'll get because there's a tie in with the name, or attitude or they just look like they could play that part. How long did this take? Weeks of constant work. the biggest CG drawing I've ever done, I had no idea what I was in for. This last week I've had insomnia and stayed awake working on it - lol As I type this, it is 9:42AM... I started on this as soon as I read what the Theme was. This is my 5th year in this Annual Halloween Contest and I love it. I look forward to this contest every year. I used photo explosion - cheap program but I know it better than the other program I used - photo shop 7 all art was drawn, redrawn, shrunk, pasted in place, more postwork - I learned alot on this project, it made me a better CG artist, I understand what I can and can not do a whole lot better now. I hope you enjoyed this and if you liked it, please remember me when it's time for voting. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ************************************************** ....another year, another Halloween is over. I did not place. This was my first 2D entry in the contest since I've been here, I liked the prizes better - lol - and I know how to draw, just not how to make these images in 3D yet - hopefully in the next five years I'll be putting something in the contest worthy of getting votes - lol LOOK AT THE CHARACTERS and see if you can think of the original monster and now, who did I choose in real life that is famous to play the part.... Jaws is Jaws, so don't get hung up on that. The grim Reaper is the greim Reaper... Start with Freddy, top left corner, who is the actor under all those scars? LOL.... Now some characters are just current events - not really Monsters, but I gave them a different Identity. Please have fun with it, get inspired by it, print it and torch it - lol I'll post the answers in future upload WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AND WHY??? thanks for viewing, comments and faves.
