Monster Project 2015

[AJ Jefferies]

I took part in the fantastic Monster Project (http://www.gomonsterproject.com) once again this year. If you don't know what it is, the idea is that a load of kids come up with monsters and then a bunch of artists create their interpretation of them

Here's the kid's drawing I picked:



And my take on it:



Modelling a mix between ZBrush and 3ds Max, 'fur' was created using ZBrush's FiberMesh.

Nailed it! WD as always :P

I love the fact that the monster has sharp teeth, two long stinger and still brings a hammer (which to be fair I would have guessed as being a blow dryer from the drawing).
But yeah like James said "Nailed it"

Yeah, I had to take some artistic license/interpretation. I decided that the construction crew had disturbed a creature from it's sleep and it was going to trash their machines with it's lucky blue hammer.

The biggest fear with a project like this is that the kid had something super specific in mind when they drew the picture and you get it wrong

Do you guys get to see the reactions?

[AJ Jefferies]

Yes! Here's the kid getting the one I did last year http://moonjam3d.tumblr.com/post/107...al-artist-with

Love this and the project. Such a great idea.
It's a shame the Kickstarter doesn't ship to the uk

Awsome project! The image is great and I love that you put the original drawing in there as well!

This makes my current arch-vis project seem kind of dull

Great job!

[AJ Jefferies]

Thanks for all the kind words!

Cool idea- bet the kid was blown away- or they should have been
