There's a new indie sandbox in town -- or at least in development -- and the team at Origins is looking for a few good fan submissions to help them populate the game. Actually the devs are looking for one good submission, but that didn't have quite the same ring to it. Anyway, the Origins website was recently updated with a new Create a Monster contest, and the lucky winner will get to see his design incorporated into the gameworld (and the lore) of Burning Dog's upcoming MMORPG.
Submissions should be in the form of artwork, images, or text, and are limited to a single entry per person. You'll also need to like Origins on Facebook or follow the game's Twitter feed prior to submitting your work. The contest is currently accepting entries and it runs through September 14th, so don't delay if you think you've got what it takes to make your MMO mob concepts a reality.

Pretty cool. Also, I had first mistaken Origins for Origin. /shudder

Sounds pretty cool actually, but I can't draw jack squat.

Is that a giant creature preparing a Hadouken?

It's times like this that I wish I still had my 3 ring binder full of monsters I created for my AD&D campaigns...
It would be fun to have a monster you created in a game.

i once read something that most or Gary Gygax's characters, such as Gord the rogue, that were developed for campaigns, and the books were just those campaigns written down. for people who have no idea who Gary Gygax is, shame on you, go goggle him.

I want to create a new monster called a Cashshoppa.
It will start out small but as the game goes on, it grows and grows.
You won't be able to kill it with normal weapons and eventually you'll need a raid sized party to attempt it.

will the Cashshoppa be riding a sparkle pony and have the largest bag space around??
Will he be able to change his appearance and gender at will?
I can see how Cashshoppa's power will grow as he purchases more and more gear from the real money AH!!

See my avatar.
Imagine that as the head, with a horse's body and legs. It's an Owltaur.
I'm so creative and artsy :/
