So... I think it's safe to say I probably won't be drawing 231 monsters in two months. I don't think I'm gonna complete this challenge, haha.

But it's absolutely insane that I even got this far! I drew a monster every day for over a hundred days; that's nuts!

So thank you for staying with me. :) I'll still post art here sometimes - I still want to draw creatures! And also other stuff! I'm just probably not gonna be able to do it every day.

Here's the final canvas:

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]

i want my october monsters to be based on some sort of october drawing challenge, but i didn't wanna do inktober for reasons, so i made up my own prompt list by writing down whatever words came to mind + some random objects around me in a span of like five minutes. what can i say, it comes naturally to me

anyway, what do you think? if this were a real challenge would you like to participate in these prompts? :3 october already started so obviously i can't turn this into a real challenge right now but. y'know, hypothetically!

day 134 - 5/13/24 - breakfast alien

be careful! make sure to keep a close watch on your fried eggs, or else it might get replaced by a tiny spaceship without you noticing! and then it'll abduct your breakfast when you're not looking!

day 133 - 5/12/24 - genie coefficient

also known as the invisible hand of the market.

the name is a play on "gini coefficient", a term which i totally did not learn from Man On The Internet a few days ago

day 132 - 5/11/24 - hazcat

evacuate the premises right meow! we've heard reports of a mewclear meltdown in the vicinity!

ok so this one requires a bit of context.

so, i had a dream where there was a new art trend on the internet.

basically, people would draw a chick and a fish, and caption it "that's chick and that's fish." because those are their names. but you had to draw them like this.

chick had to be a circle with two little stick legs, and fish had to be a circle with a triangle for a tail. you could not draw them any other way.

this does not leave a lot of room for variation or artist interpretation. but for some reason this went absolutely viral. everyone was drawing fish and chick.

so in that dream i decided to join in the trend, and make fish and chick my monsters for two days. i posted one monster called "that's chick", and then the next day i reblogged it with the next monster, named "that's fish".

so!

day 131 - 5/10/24 - that's chick and that's fish

day 130 - 5/9/24 - unicorn on the cob

wow! rare and mythical beast!

its ears are ears of corn and its mane + tail are awns (the bristles you can find on corn) ! :D this one took me a while i'm really proud of her

[monster-every-day]

Wanted to give you some words of encouragement because your Monster design Is really cool! Keep It up!

thank you 🥹

day 129 - 5/8/24 - reflection beast

only visible in reflections.

had a cool idea where when it's in a reflection, the entire reflection becomes tinted red, but that would really only work well in like, an animated format, otherwise it just looks like a puddle of kool aid

day 128 - 5/7/24 - printer kitty

keeps meowing at me to refill its magenta. kitty you still have a half full tank of magenta left!! maybe you'd have more ink if you stopped leaving printouts of mice at my door every day
