This is already the 4th Anime/Manga Character Design Contest! In the past contests we have asked you to provide basic themes such as "Anime girl", "Mobile suite" and "First love". So this time we want to give you something different. Please create your original monster!

A monster doesn't need to be ugly. Why not try to draw a monster even if you've never tried to before? We look forward to your entry!
