Step right up, enter at your own peril!!!
Men hold your ladies tight!!! Ladies- cover your children's eyes!!!
The circus is coming to town!!! And all your favorite stars will be there performing- MoMo the dog faced dog!!! , The terrifying Bi-cyclops!!!, Octomum!!!, Larry, Barry and Harry- the tri-mese triplets!!!.... and MORE!!!

THE CHALLENGE:
Design your own "Living Curiosity"- it can be fan art of a classic, but really what we are looking for is a creative take on the subject matter.

DEADLINE: 29th of March!!!


For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.

The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).

The rules are simple;

RULES:

* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* Winner also gets the honor of picking the winner of the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.


If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

    Are we making a poster, or are we making a "Monster"? Or can we do anything creative relating to the subject?

    How about a "Ponster"!

    Just do anything you feeling like. You don't need to go all the way with ya fancy "words" and "spelling", just make with the pretties.

    Obviously, they should be upside down.

    Decided to stop lurking. Quick question, are work in progress pics okay to post or is it finished pieces only?

    Go ahead and post your progress, maybe even post the whole process in the enrichment thread once you're done.

    Snake-girl ringleader. The presenter of our astounding show.

    Lot's of smudges from erasing.

    I think he needs a little more "circus," if he was a frankendude in like, circus performer garb or a ringleader's hat or something, that would really kick it into crazytown.

    Wish I had more time this month! I have the deadline for two (more like four) short stories bearing down on me and, woof. Just not good time management.

    ... regardless that coloring is really on the nail. So stylish.

    Hmmm a tough one...

    While I think that some of the other designs were a little bit more on theme, at the end of the day, I'm a sucker for the extra polish that my man @DMAC did. Wear your winners crown with pride!

    Great work everyone else! (And thanks for entering my contest!)
