It Came From The Public Domain

We've set ourselves a challenge of creating some monsters based upon images that we've found out in the Public Domain and then re-worked into something new and different in under 30 minutes. That's right, this is a timed effort, much like some writing prompts, only for manipulating a few random found-images into fresh new monsters.

In some respects this is similar to the Surrealist Scribbles exercise that we have been using for quite a while now--starting from a scribble is a fun and wonderful way to get the creativity flowing. A lot of the images at our various blogs were initially built-up from a few scribbles or squiggles. Speaking of which, we're hoping to receive a few more new scribbles to use in new monsters from some nice people out across the internet and we'll post those once they've arrived so you can see what we started-out with, and where we ended-up.
