Chow 178 :: VOTING :: Hallowe’en special: Universal monsters

FINALS ONLY
-=ROUND 178=-
-= HALLOWE’EN SPECIAL: UNIVERSAL MONSTERS =-

-------------

NOT SURE ABOUT THE GUIDELINES? CLICK HERE!
-------------------

ROUND #178:: HALLOWE’EN SPECIAL: UNIVERSAL MONSTERS

DESCRIPTION

UNIVERSAL MONSTERS

TWO WEEK CHOW

Was that the trees a rustling? Or the hinges on the gate? Something spooky in the shadows... IT’s ALIVE!!!!!

HALLOWE’EN, the old festival of Samhain is here and this is a two week ChOW! Take one (or more if you fancy) of the classic Universal Monsters from this list and produce your own take on them.

Dracula (1931) LINK
Frankensteins Monster/The Bride (1931/35) LINK LINK
The Mummy (1932) LINK
The Wolfman (1941) LINK
The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) LINK
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) LINK
The Phantom of the Opera (1925) LINK

And if you’re feeling inventive,

The Invisible Man (1933) LINK



Redesign them... Give us your version. Use the Universal interpretation as your inspiration or starting point, not the original stories, as Universal Studios gave them a unique twist, but feel free to explore the possibilities. However remember, this is a character challenge. There’s plenty of reference on the internet for all of these.



All the above are copyright UNIVERAL PICTURES


A little note:

If you are doing more than on character please assemble them into one image. This will be for the final poll. Not compositionally, just so all can be seen together.



------------

ACCEPTANCE TO POLL WILL BE BASED ON THREE CRITERIA:
1: DID THE ARTIST FOLLOW THE BRIEF? (allowance for creative takes will be made).
2: IS THE PIECE ARTISTICALLY SOUND? (Is the illustration "finished?" - did the artist pay attention to anatomy, perspective, other fundamentals?).
3: IS THIS ILLUSTRATION THE BEST ONE?

--------------------

SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY:
1: You must submit ONE full sized image.
2: Make sure your name and CHOW # are EASILY READABLE on your entry.
3: Use the Standard format (Below);


PLACE THE IMAGE IN A FRAME WITH YOUR NAME/TOPIC
SAVE YOUR FILE IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT:

Chow##_Nickname
example: "CHOW#100_Oregano.jpg"

THE REST IS EASY:
1: No comments before poll is set. They WILL be deleted with utmost malice and petty grumbling.
2: Sit back and enjoy the show. BYOPC (Bring your own popcorn)
3: Good luck to all.


Please review these helpful reminders if you have not done so already.

ON GETTING TO POLL
-------------------------
NEW ROUND RULE: WIPS PLEASE!
-------------------------
SUBMISSION FORMAT REMINDER



PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR COPYRIGHT INFORMATION UNDER THE IMAGE IN THE FINAL BURNING THREAD SO I DON'T HAVE TO HUNT YOU DOWN LATER!

---

Quick Check: Have You Submitted Your Chow Properly?

- is it named correctly? (ie, "CHOW#100_Oregano.jpg")
- has it been uploaded using the attachment editor?
- have you also uploaded or linked to your wips?
- have you followed the brief?

Good luck!

Whew....Finished...I wanted to do something similar to the old Bela Lugosi Dracula movies...Personally i feel that was the best version of Dracula apart from Nosferatu...I need to learn more about the way a cloth stays over a figure,values,anatomy and lighting.But at the same time i am a little satisfied the way it turned out..I hope my next chow will become better....This topic was great and i look forward to all the final entries...

Have a great day....
and good luck to you all...
