The Girls of Tumblr’s Monster Girl Drawing Challenge

by Susana Polo | 12:31 pm, September 12th, 2012



The 30 Day Monster Girl Challenge took place during August, and each day there was a new classical monster to design a female character around. This is just a smattering of the artists who tagged their posts 30 Day Monster Girl Challenge. You can find many more right here.

    The Slime picture just reminds me of this.

    I’ve been following this challenge for a while now and I absolutely love it. There’s so much creativity in each group. I am completely digging those nagas, centaurs and harpies up there.

    I wish women were allowed to be kooky and frightening more often, instead of the ‘willowy elf maiden’ or ‘cat-eared gal’ that our gender is usually shoehorned in.

    This is encouraging. I have loved creatures/monsters since I was a little girl so I am usually drawn towards demi-human characters. I don’t usually have a whole lot of options if I want to play/see a lady character of this type though, as others have mentioned, so I’m glad to see people interested in it instead of just saying ‘ick’.

    High five to any WoW Horde players who love the troll/orc/tauren women! ;)

    And oh I just love that lady Satyr!
