Alright team. This next contest will consist of making a finalized rendering of the book cover you submitted for the last contest. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be one of your submitted drawings with color. Start from where you left off and really push towards producing a final draft of a book cover. Think about all the details you want to include. Make sure the proportions are true to the proposed final dimensions of the book. Ask for input by leaving comments. If you have a version you want to put past people before the deadline, email me your submission and I'll add it to this post for others to see while you work out the details. (I'll do my best to post it the same day.) Let's see what you can come up with. Keep up the hard work!
Deadline: Midnight, Saturday, October 30th, 2010.

Illustration Contest: Design Your Book Cover
Everyone did a great job for the last contest. It took me a while to decide where to go next for this next week’s contest. I’ve been debating between moving along with book illustration or continuing loosely related subjects chosen at random ‘whim’. Sorry for the delay but I’ve decided to give a very different challenge for this next contest.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a cover design for the book you’re interested in completing. You could reference other books you love to figure out a composition you enjoy but for this week’s contest I’m looking for a book cover design. You could submit up to three designs, rough submissions, and I’ll post them for others to comment on. That way we can find out from the community what is a preferred cover and for a future contest you’ll come up with a more polished version. Good luck; you have until:

MONSTERS IN PAJAMAS!
Alright everyone its time for the next contest. This next challenge will be moving closer as a group to the final project: that is making a group childrens book about monsters. The central idea to the book is that monsters are much like little boys and girls when it comes to bedtime, they wear pajamas. The difference is that they wear them in ways that would be unexpected.
The newest contest would center on coming up with a monster design that is similar anatomically to a little boy or girl; size, proportions, likability, etc. This would be similar to what Sesame Street has done for many years, make likable monsters. We had some great entries from our earlier monster contest and I suggest you start there for inspiration if you aren't sure where to start. We need a character or many that kids would look at and laugh along with as they wear their pajamas in funny ways. You could even use shows like Sesame Street for inspiration, but make sure the characters are original, originally yours that is.
I want to have the book printed this year so we need to start this project moving along quicker than before. The monsters from the earlier contest will be incorporated into the beginning part of the book but this next contest will be the latter half of the book. We need to get this ball rolling so lets make the deadline:
