Writing Creativity: Conceptualizing Monsters Using Art

Landscape Paintings for Monsters:

On a personal level, I prefer the original landscape paintings, where I easily place myself for a kind of tranquility. I'm not so much into monsters, myself- never was into King Kong or Gojira, aka Godzilla. 

Still, I'm impressed by these scenes of differentiation from the norm, which offer a bit more than expected. It's fun stuff, and a great exercise for creativity. Click through to see Slate's slide show, with monster notes.
