Our first Monster Challenge requires you to delve deep into the dark, look inside the closet, and into the shadows to come up with an amazing monster. The contest has 2 categories: 3D Concept Art and 2D Concept Art and it's a great opportunity for artists looking to challenge themselves and create something epic for their portfolio.
Each category has a Production based brief provided by a ‘Director’. It’s one skill to create great artwork, but it’s another to truly read and execute a brief perfectly, so read carefully before you jump in.
