May’s THEME:
Littles & Colossus!
Basically Little or Colossal (big) beings. Get creative and be sure you are putting a fantasy or sci-fi twist on it. What does that mean? Don’t draw a mouse and an elephant. But if you drew a tiny mouse city on the back of an elephant? Well there you go then! Creativity with this theme is key! Requirement! – There absolutely must be at least one character or creature on the card. AND have a SFF/Fantasy type element. That means reality is out the window. Again don’t draw two real animals that exist in our world that are big and small unless you are adding some noticeable twist somehow. This is the key to this challenge – To get creative with your little & colossal elements.
Do you need some inspiration? I’ll have a pinterest board soon – in the meantime here is some examples!
PINTEREST BOARD COMING SOON!
– Small City, Town, forest etc on the back of a colossal creature
– Mix it up, maybe what we normally think as small is the large thing and your character that would normally be large is the small thing! Twist!
– symbiotic relationships between two fantastic beings
– Lots of little creatures scattered about an environment or clinging to someone/something?
– I’m thinking, I’m thinking – I’ll add more if I come up with anything else but hey…I’m sure you’ll come up with something awesome – that is part of the challenge right!?
If ever in doubt just shoot me an email to ask a question. Send signups and any questions to [email protected]
