Someone needs to step up and beat my wonderful piece of art.

[Monkeydog]

Starting like next week I'm going to have a ton of free time so I should be able to do what I'm thinking of before the deadline.

[Glaciermage]

Legacyme3, the Pro in MonkeyPro stands for Procrastination. My guess is there won't be many more entries before 11:00 p.m. April 15th.

Ended up going with a completely different idea...not to mention a totally different medium, haha.

The concept is meant to take place "within the moment you are killed". The last thing you see before you die are the glowing eyes, and since you've already been attacked, the blood - your blood - on your killer. The blackness represents how quickly it all takes place, given that you're killed while you're sleeping and, in all likelihood, don't see or notice your attacker when your eyes open in horror. The red border represents a bloody game over screen, creeping in from all sides. If this was animated, the red would take over the entire screen and then drip away, with the last thing disappearing into the blackness being the eyes, the first thing you saw. Overall, everything is blurry because, well, you're losing blood fast and close to death. The only thing in focus is the method by which you died, that last "stab in the gut" sort of shock.

I wanna join! Sounds fun and all that jazz, so why not? Even if I suck at it, it's nice to write a story every now and then.

[Puffin]

Finished my entry!! :D I managed to finish all my homework a day early, so it left me with some time to actually work on this~ (plus I figured if I didn't do it now, then i'd get swamped with final projects and either not have time or just plain forget...)

This is my interpretation of the view of a victim's room after a werewolf attack. Likely just after the attack, but only at the very beginning of dawn, when the light is just gray and hazy and has yet to push away the dark. Since everyone would likely still be asleep, the hall remains empty for now and the body undiscovered. The door is open ajar, since it lends this element of morbid curiousity, yet also a forboding feeling as to what's being hidden behind it (plus, werewolves are not polite enough to shut the door behind themselves). The room number is partially obscured by the victim's blood, to add mystery as to who it was since we never knew who exactly was going to die next.

 

For the blood splatters, I imagined that the door would have been knocked open against the interior's wall, thus explaining why there are some splatters on the door, but none on the outside door frame or wall. For those that are in the hallway... Well, I couldn't help but imagine the werewolf shaking the blood off like a wet dog. :P

Amazing, Puffin! This has been added to the contest page.
One week remains.

[Monkeydog]

So I take it we're just going to have three entries?
:(

[Stars]

I intend to get my entry done over the weekend.

[Monkeydog]

Curious:

 

If people absolutely are going to do a project and want a little extension I'll consider it.
