In this lesson I challenge you to be creative and use randomly found textures to inspire imaginative design.

I started looking over the texture images, and as soon as I came to this one, the image of something sort of hunched over and staring just popped out at me. The image of a staring cat came after I started working the circular burl into a long tail!

Here’s my submission for Imagination Bonus Week 2. It was a lot of fun,I can definitely see this as something I’d do to spark inspiration.

Used one of my old 3D textures, didn't see much tho since these textures are mostly uniform to not show repetition or seems, so it was kind of a bad idea

Drat, I really should've looked at what everyone else did before I did mine! I had no idea what to do or how to do it. So, uh, I just picked a random texture and I was like... "Hmmm, this looks like a wormy thing with branches coming out of it's mouth, and beneath it is some kind of cracked orifice." I had no idea how go about painting over the complex textures, so I just kind of randomly sampled colors and painted them in roughly the same spots the original colors were...? If I do this exercise again, I'll probably go for something more like Filippo or Tuqoise or Pamela did.
mwalker's is going to haunt my nightmares though.

Even though my results were a little disturbing I had a good time with this exercise.

I had fun with these assignment. I found various animals and creatures in these textures. I kept the textures visible while adding color to the characters.

This was fun and relaxing at the same time. I saw the small dog next to the monkey first, then the group gradually appeared.
