#LETSDRAWMONSTERS Prompt for July 2021

This month, we have a guest artist contributor for our prompt. A young artist and naturalist named Nikolas, whose prompt this month is "The Harbear". 

It appears to have the wings and talons of a hawk, the face of a bear, and the long prehensile tail of an opossum, though all of this is subject to visual interpretation. 

Our guest artist described to me, in great detail, that this semi-mythical Harpy-Bear creature, "lives in a bad guy forests, eats monkeys, snakes and boats.  It sleeps in rocks and some are good, some are bad.  It is afraid of nuthin',   ....except butterflies. And piranhas." 

He goes on to describe that they sometimes gather together in a swarm of 6 or 12, and when they do they, "Go wreckin' and wreckin', and they wreck houses, even houses with people. They go a-wreckin' n' wreckin!"  

Your challenge this month, is to do your own visual interpretation of our guest artist's semi-mythical monster. 

Our PRIZE categories for this month are:

• Most Wreckin' n' Wreckin'
• Most Fearful of Butterflies
• Best King of the "Bad Guy Forest"

This month we are awarding prizes from this week's Gallery Gerard Booklaunch: 

We will be giving away Stickers, Pins, Mini-prints, and this month's Golden Sluglord Award winner will receive a copy of our 2020 Monster of the Month sketchbook! 

The SHOW starts today at 5PM EST on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/justingerardillustration! I will be designing my version live until 7:30PM EST, after which we will be checking out the community entries and hanging out!

*Remember you can upload yours to the community discord (enter !discrod in twitch chat for a link) or you can hashtag this one as #LETSDRAWMONSTERS15 on Instagram. The challenge is 2.5 hours to do a drawing of the above prompt. I will be checking both at the end of the stream and sharing all the entries with everyone live!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
