Fiction is the bird mentioned in the stories of The Adventures of Sinbad and the story of the Thousand and One Nights, as well as in the old Arabic legends.

The advantage of this bird of beauty and strength, and in most of the stories that burn when they die and become ashes and emerge from the ashes a new phoenix bird.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday, working on an Avatars pic., only to blow it away with a careless click [groan.. not again].

Undeterred, I had another go, just to show willing !

I'm so sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I will definitely be picking a 'top monster' very shortly !

Geetha

Here are some cute monster.

Well.. what a great collection of monsters - although they mostly seem to be pretty cute !

Thanks to indigo, zum, clorophilla, stevedover and anyone else I've missed, for the brilliant 'old' pictures - 'Full Moon' '191th day' and 'Frankenstein in love', etc. - they're all brilliant !

As for the best 'monster' pic.. well, stevedover's 'Wyvern' makes me remember why I like cats : http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=123543
Arw.. what's the dog-thing in the dragon riders series ?

lynnspotter's 'She looks just like you, dear' almost made me cry.. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124580

Qsilv's 'I think I'm an Emu! (and you?)' is unfortunately out of contention, and I don't have the nerve to say more.. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124607
the '...and in the sky, The larks' has been in my head for the last week, but I guess it's good that I remember the endless waves of small, white crosses http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124685

Clorophilla's excellent 'Dr Jeckill and Mr Hyde', is just beautiful - hold your hand up to hide the 'Mr Hyde' side, and see what the nice doctor looks like ! http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124618
the 'a Nargle and a Wrackspurt' just shows, I think, that you don't take gardening seriously.. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125752

Arw's 'Illithid' is truly monstrous.. the eye, the gaping .. er.. gaping something.. is quite nightmare-ish. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124476
'Durin's Bane' is just magnificent - http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124710
.. I still want to try my own vision, but just haven't got time, right now !

hanging - LOL, sorry but your 'footprints of..' is much too pretty to count in a monster challenge - maybe just a couple of those hand-prints, but much enlarged, would be significantly nastier ?
.. your 'bat... I can fly though...' is actually one that I can't 'see', but obviously everyone else can !
I sort of see a lady with two children in her arms - one about 2 or 3, and the other a baby - but I'm obviously missing the 'real' pic, so my apologies ! http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125040

indigo's 'Awakened' came as a nasty shock when I inadvertently saw it out of context - half dragon, half irate centipede (one of those BIG ones you get in the country !).. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125182

Brunnhilde's excellent 'Monster from Brunnhilde' was wickedly entrancing - whatever you do, keep watching those hands ! http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125139

Suzze.. LOL.. I'm sorry, but I think you should be banned from ThinkDraw - every time I look at this, I just crack up (start laughing), so that I've never actually managed to comment on it yet ! http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125240

zum's beautiful 'Phoenix' deserves to be admired - alas, I've never seen this mythical bird as a monster, but this would shine in a 'mythical animals' showcase: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125102

now, Geetha.. how can you draw such lovely monsters ? your 'I know I am hairy!still cute, right?' is a study in blue furriness http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124326

Finally, Hazer's 'An old draft...' just hit an eerie spot with me : http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=125585

marg

oh dear.. I'm sorry, but I have to announce lynnspotter the winner of this challenge -
there is very little quite as monstrous as a fond parent / grandparent / family member / friend / casual bystander saying 'She looks just like you, dear' ..
.. about some small, red-faced, squalling infant !

marg

.. and here's the winning pic for you again : http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=124580

When I have challenged the tourism & when choosing a winner . I think that each participant must know the reason of his exclusionary . But I thank God I did not do.
marg..... you have been very harsh with us

Qsilv

lol... I, on the other hand, am entranced at marg's "eye" AND unique logic!

lynnspotter

Well, surprise, surprise! Glad you got a kick out of it Marg! Thanks!

Normal

Nothing remotely harsh about Marg's comments. Each "sponsor" of a challenge gets to decide the "winner" on purely subjective reasoning, or even a whim. Marg chose to share with us her highly subjective process and we appreciate that! I enjoyed watching the whole thing from the sidelines. It is NOT necessarily about the "Best Art."

marg

To be honest, all of the pictures were just so good - in their own way - and my knowledge of art is so limited - in its own way - that 'subjective' really is the ONLY way for me !

Thanks, everyone, for contributing - and, like zum, bothering to comment .... and over to Lynn for the next, great challenge !

zum117

you are wright marg it was a nice challenge .

zum117

sorry (right)
