I will draw you a monster for $8

More interesting than a guy drawing monsters, is the site UpHype itself. Besides a lot of "I'll spam your site/service on twitter/fb for $8", there seems to be quite a few designers and artists offering logos, voiceovers and other potentially useful things. Their "All for only $8, $16 or $24" model is simple enough to work well. I'll keep an eye on it.

  Agreed, forget the spamming stuff, but the creative work looks interesting and well priced.

  Which is basically a clone of http://www.fiverr.com/ http://www.fiverr.com/ (everything is $5 there though).

    True. Didn't know that one either, thanks.

    I tried fiverr twice, first time got a crappy logo, second time never got a reply.

    I used it to get a postcard from japan sent to my japanophile sister. Every time I see this website I can't help but think about the fact that they made the classical mistake of having a decriptive name for their product and are now forever stuck with a five dollar price tag.

Interesting proposal. Why would someone want a monster though? Who owns the image copyright once the work has been done?

  Hi Simon, I'm the monster artist. I doing it mostly for fun, but there are a few people who will use them for logos, avatars, and character designs for role playing games. As for the copyright - I say if you buy it, you own it. If for any reason the monster goes on to be famous - just let me know! You keep the profits, just give me credit please.

    I had Simon draw a monster version of the mascot from my open source project for no other reason than it was fun. For $8 it seems like a bargain for a bit of a laugh.

Just used the service (twice!) and I'm very happy with the results. Just wanted to have 2 works of digital art from 2 ideas I had long time ago. Thanks to cogstar I made finally have it. You can see it the artwork at: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6214500&l=3263b38201&id=694860912 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6214500&l=3263b382... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6241999&l=1da74b8b33&id=694860912 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6241999&l=1da74b8b...
