Mangapunk’s Spooky Halloween Contest

To correspond with (or even dare we say celebrate) Halloween this year, Mangapunk is having a contest. The theme of said contest is "Create an Original Monster".

The goal is to create a unique monster that no one has seen anywhere else. It can be scary or silly, or scary and silly at the same time. Also you can draw the monster or write a description or sculpt a figure of the monster or use any other creative medium you can think of. Make a song about your monster or even write a Haiku about this mysterious creature. The idea is to be original so feel free to use any format you’d like to tell the world about your monster.

The grand prize for the winner of this contest is a copy of the graphic novel Weirdling by Mike Dubisch

We’re also currently working on adding more prizes for the contest. I wonder if candy can survive the mail Razz

The judges for this contest will be Mangapunks Joamette Gil and David Doub. The Deadline to get the entries in is Sunday October 26th and the winner will be announced on Halloween, Friday October 31th.

All entries need to be e-mailed in a common electronic format like say JPG or DOC. If, for example, you make a monster out of “spare parts”, all you need to do is take a photo of it and send that to us.

All entries can be e-mailed to [email protected]

The contest is open to residents of US and Canada. If you are under the age of 15, it would be best to ask your parents’ permission before entering.

Any entry can be disqualified at the Judges’ discretion. We have to say that, really.

Good Luck to all entrants!

Digital Manga Publishing is kindly donating one of their Let's Draw Manga books as a prize.

Let's Draw Manga Bodies and Emotion
ISBN: 1569709386
148 pages
Dimensions: 7 1/8" x 10 1/8"
Release Date: August 1, 2005

From aesthetic subtleties to the slapstick, the heart and soul of manga lies in unique character representation through physiques and expressions. Tadashi Ozawa, the author of the best-selling How to Draw Anime & Game Characters series kicks off instruction with the basics and intricacies of properly proportioned and stylistically deformed characters. Ozawa then focuses on the creation of an entire range of facial expressions, from a slightly lifted eyebrow of doubt to a river of tears, exploring both the nuance and comedy exclusive to manga.
