But now to this weeks Challenge...
This weeks theme is the Reimagine Challenge:
The Reimagine Challenge works like this:
I present you one (or more) existing characters, and you reimagine this Character(s) in a different style, theme, age or even race and gender. :D
There is no limtation, except your imagination :)
It´s as easy as it sounds! ;)

Well I needed to chill in the evening, kids in bed... cant do much else soo I went all finearts styley in Photoshop :-) Lost the cartoon proportions on the monkey too.
Post still says 6 days on it.

Great to see the contest back from hiatus! Hope all is well in your life wolf. I hoard the all the gifs that you use in steemit posts by the way. :D. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this week for the contests. I have a personal bias towards the genie because I love Robin Williams.

Hello!
Here I am dropping a last minute entry. It's Stimpy as a Digimon evolution line. I hope you like it!
https://steemit.com/designacharacter/@edenci/design-a-character-contest-week-8-stimpy-as-a-digimon-evolution-line
Sadly I missed it this week. :(
I was excited but I couldn't find my inspiration.
Good luck everyone!
@fraenk ???
I'm here every now and then, too :D
what's up? how's things?
I was confused by the name change
Heh, I see... you haven't been keeping up to date ;) nudge nudge
Unfortunately @localola had started a new job just as she had won the contest, it all was a bit too much so she had to cancel the coop to put the focus where it was needed.
And in the meantime I had concluded that the other finalists deserved their own spotlight. Giving @steemkitten the design @zneeke made would have seriously risked a schizophrenic personality disorder developing in the poor kitten.
So yeah, @cuddlekitten was cloned from @steemkitten's DNA and has since assumed living under @zneeke's given character.
@steemkitten was heartbroken and went silent for a while after @localola left her with only 6 expressions (luckily one of them was a sad one! :P). She started talking again after a week of grieving, though. She's still a bit traumatized and has started expressing herself only through some unexciting ASCII-cats. I am not sure what will happen with her in the future, but she'll always continue cuddling!
Oh and... psssst... you might even see @zeppelin's entry reappear and starting to pass out cuddles in the coming weeks, too ;)
Una pregunta, hay que hacer un dibujo por cada personaje?
umm... you should ask @w0olf, he's running the show here ;)
Nope it's not necessary :) You can even just make 1 character. How ever you like!
