    We like to thank all who participated in this Contest, it was really fun to go through all this inspiring and cool ideas! We had a really long list of favourites but in the end it could only be 3, it was a really hard decision for us!




    The 3 Winners of the Contest will get their design idea made by the Artist and will also receive the unlock code for that Monster at launch. The 1st placed will get his Monster made first, all 3 will be shown one after another here. The Winners will also get mentioned in the app.

    Here is the thread of the app: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=52475


    It can be just a word or you can be very specific about it. You can also show us images or even sketch your idea if you cant describe it. We will look into all ideas equally and then decide for the 3 most interesting and cool ideas.


    Guidelines
    We will paint your skin design idea on the Monster, so its the Skin/Texture that can be designed. The skin surface can also have different looks to it, like shiny skin or slight fur. The designs will have to be made symmetrical, for instance the cow design has his pattern spots on both sides of the head the same:
    [​IMG]
    (that is a technical guideline which allows higher resolution)


    If you have any questions just ask here.



    The different looking Monsters will appear randomly in the app. Everytime you start the app a box will open and out of it comes a random Monster. But there is also a easy way to unlock the different Monsters. Unlocked Monsters can be chosen at any time. There comes also a small unlock code with every Monster so you can share your Monster with friends if you like, here are some examples of different designs that are already in the app:

    How about a rhino monster with a big horn coming out of it's head (grey skin) or an elephant monster with a very large trunk.

    And a giraffe monster (when you pull on it's head, it's neck gets longer) that is tan with dark brown spots.

    And a "tough guy/motorcycle man" monster with sunglasses and a leather jacket!

    Lastly, a ballerina monster with a tutu and pink sparkles all over it. With a lot of makeup and a tiara!

    idea: a super-angry looking one with an extra eye on his forehead. his mouth would have long canines, almost like tusks. he'd be red with yellow eyes. he also has horns like a goat

    I think you need a monster with rams horns (you know, the curly version) on the sides of his head, maybe in a dark brown or gray color.

    An orange monster with a yellow spider and they both have a shattered glass texture on skin and penguin tattos!

    Or: a black-and-white penguin dude

    Or: a HUGE gray elephant dude

    Or: a black monster with green or yellow eyes that change between those two colors and a grin like a Cheshire Cat!

    Or: a Chuck Norris monster, with Chuck Norris as the face! Chuck Norris FTW!

    I don't know if you guys are already doing this, but the game would be better if the player has to get certain points that they can use to unlock different skins.

    i can't draw so forget that...

    My idea though would be a dinosaur type skin with plates. Also a small spike would stick out of each plate.

    How about the alternative monster, i.e. tattoos, piercings, branding, punk hair, that sort of thing?

    or

    Old fashioned house monster(mother)? LOL

    I think you should make a pirate zombie monster with an eye patch and a small pirate hat. And the spider should be replaced with a zombie parate being hung by the neck lol

    if it's only the skin texture/color that can change, then how about a crocodile/reptilian look

    Call me cheesy....but, I think a character with skin made to realistically represent the Toco Toucan would be pretty cool as an unlockable one.:D

    How about a cheese looking skin? maybe one made out of swiss?

    or: A pineapple skin
    or: Soccer ball skin, football skin, basketball skin
    or: fur skin
    or: Mosaic tile skin
    or: lightning skin with lightning bolts covering his body
    or: Zombie (don't know if this has been mentioned). Like having rotting flesh on him
    or: give him a genie look.
    or: Hazmat skin...put radioactive stuff on him and have him glow neon green.
    or: an Elvis look...just throw a black leather jacket on him and underneath the jacket give him a white shirt. Very 50s-ish you can make it all one simple layer instead of designing two layers and then over lapping them.

    That are some fun ideas everyone, keep them coming!

    Sure, a punk monster brings a lot of possibilitys. A house monster skin could also work, like with planks pattern and windows around the eyes and maybe the door like the mouth?

    A pirate monster is cool idea but your descriptions hardly work with just designing the monster skin, a pirate badana could work for instance though.

    four mouth parts doent work with just the skin, but the skin could be like the one from the aliens of halo.

    Sure, that works. There are lot of interesting reptilians skins.

    Sounds like a good idea to me! :)

    Cool ideas, Elvis would be hard though, it also the resemblance of his head that is not really given ;)

    How about an Alien-like monster with the cylindrical head and the second mouth? With dark greyish shiny skin, can have eyes or not
