Monsters, Ink

sounds wild, however, my shocking Napoleon Dynamite-esque drawing skills probably don't compete with the LWL design excellence.

great idea. i'll be sending one soon!

Written by Sam on September 30th, 2009 at 09:02

haha, there are lots of illustrators going for that kooky 'Napoleon Dynamite-esque' can't draw-but can style these days you know…

I have no awesome skills. Drawing, nut chuck or otherwise.

great to hear that where the wild things are is the next cover/issue. i'm totally excited and i think i'm going to work on something this weekend.

I seriously cannot wait for this film. The nostalgia side will be great, and the trailer is absolutely wonderful. I actually find it quite moving. Shame we have to wait till December over here. Will draw you a cover though. (don't get your hopes up, I'm artistically retarded)

Cannot wait to draw mine. I'm surely going to send it, but it will happen on 16th October, just a minute before the closing time. As usual : )

The terrible twins are going to have a go at it this weekend – it's one of their (and their parents') favourite books, and we're all digging the trailer too

On it.

Anyone know the size of the cover? When I open the pdf it just shows the logo…

Written by Dee on October 7th, 2009 at 16:41

Hey Dee,

In Photoshop you need to select 'media box' instead of 'bounding box' from the drop down menu on the top right of the screen that comes up when you open the PDF in Photoshop.

Written by lwlies on October 7th, 2009 at 17:31

Any particular file format required chaps?

Written by zuko on October 7th, 2009 at 21:31

what's the prize though? I want to enter but what if I totally hate the prize.

Written by Kirsty on October 8th, 2009 at 02:38

im confused as to whether it is to draw our own version of one of the existing characters? or to create our completely new character that is similar in the style of where the wild things are?

anyone know..? :/ cause i've drawn my own character i hope it wasnt a waste of time

Written by wizzaw on October 8th, 2009 at 04:09

by 'our own version' i just mean 'in our own style'

Written by wizzaw on October 8th, 2009 at 04:10

Hello all!

Best to sent it to us as a jpeg or pdf, at 300dpi so that we can print it in the magazine if chosen. Prize is top secret but we PROMISE it's a good'n.

Wizzaw – any character is good. It can be a Wild Thing inspired by those in the film, or it can be the wild thing inside you.

And people are welcome to enter more than one. We've had some awesome covers already – keep 'em coming!

Has anyone seen the newsletter yet, I can't find anything about the competition?

Written by mandincardiff on October 30th, 2009 at 09:06

It says send them in and see them have a chance of being featured in the new issue. That's the issue out today, so I'd wager we'll know when the magazine lands on our doorsteps (or you go out and by one)
