Paper and pencil for me.. :D..
I haven't used my tablet enough to be really good at it yet. it takes a bit of getting use to. lol

quick question.. Did you want it to be converted to illustrator and finished or just the ruff sketch?

paper and pencil is perfect! (thanks for the question actually, I'll add that to the description)
no vectorization is required unless you think a vector rendering would work best for your monster.

sure, a background history always helps. It'll help us to understand what the monster is for you. And of course it is interesting why you see monster in that particular way.

Announcement:
I think it is kind of boring is I moderate all community contests. It is much more fun if we invite other members to do that once in a while. So this contest is moderated by .:FMD who kindly agreed to provide constructive criticism to your entries! So I guess I should let him answer your questions now.

I agree with resurepus.

Give a little background of the monster...is it a child hood monster, is it something you see in your dreams, is it the monster that eats your socks ;), your inner monster, etc...

Not only will it give us all a good laugh or maybe sympathize with you, it will better understand why you chose your monster to look that way.

Good luck to all that submits an entry as i am looking forward to seeing everyones!

Same here.

Oh, and I also cannot post in some forums, coz there's no icons/graphics. Hope this will be fixed soon.

I've been trying to re-submit my final Monster (#134) but I think I'm having the same problem as Maxson and robert777. Even after logging in, when i go to the Contest Page it says I'm not logged in?

smack, closed contests are still there, they are just not highlighted. Click on 'community contests archive' link, you'll see.
