The creature you create can later be used in illustrations, animation, or as part of a larger story.

What Students Are Saying
"This is a fun little exercise in character creation using the "exquisite corpse" game (also known by many other names) of having exchangeable sections over three pages of characters. Masho is entertaining and engaging, and an enthusiastic teacher, and while this really is a short exercise, it's a fun thing to do in order to stretch some creative muscles."
