[It's not a bug - It's an undocumented creature!]

It's not a bug - It's an undocumented creature!

(Competition runs from June 4th to June 18th)







Far from civilisation, in the middle of nowhere it was living a quiet life for years. But now, in the year 2015, a group of fearless scientists finally discovered this beauty. It's obviously not a beetle, (You don't agree? Well, in that case you will have to take my word for it. It's not a bug.) so what kind of life form is this? To be honest, I have no idea. We will have to ask one of the brave scientists.


What kind of creature are we looking at? Is it an animal, a plant or something else entirely? You will have to show us. Fill the shape with any life form (exept the aforementioned beetle) you can think of. It's up to you if you draw a real existing*, a fictional** or a very fictional*** species.


The rules:

Fill the shape with any creature (exept the aforementioned beetle) you can think of.


You will get away with:

• Rotating the shape
• Colouring the outline
• Using every colour in the book

You won't get away with:

• Drawing a beetle
• Drawing Gregor Samsa (or Herbie, if you're more into films)
• Resizing the shape
• Drawing outside the shape

But beware! Behave or be cursed:





Oh, yeah, and have fun!




VOTING TIME! (ends June 22th)

Welcome to the annual Conference of Fearless Scientists! Once again some of our fellow colleagues traveled around the world in search of some previously unknown lifeforms.
