For my Digital Tools class, we just learned how to use Adobe Illustrator and our first task was to create 20 bugs/creatures/monsters within the program and present them in a creative way.
So, I hand drew {via computer} these 20 little creatures based on the popular stuffed animals, UglyDolls. They turned out pretty true to form and took about 8-9 hours to create due to the process of Illustrator using tons of layers, vector points and individual manipulations.
Woah, lots of work. And I cut them out and displayed them in a shoe box, trying to simulate the big collecting project from elementary school where you collect bugs and stick pins in them, and put them I'm a shoe box. Shootin for nostalgia.
Here are the creatures, please enjoy their oddities.
