What is HANDYMONSTERS?

What if any of your pocket sized electronics like cell phones were customized characters? HANDYMONSTERS is just that.

The project began on Pixiv where it grew into a huge hit. Now a group has been established here on DA for internationalization.

End of Year 2011 Report

:iconskyshaymin:

Greetings, comrade!

I'm back with a few things to report. Currently the group is almost abandoned, and I'm really out of ideas on how to recruit new members, if not new designs. This year I have been extremely busy with my studies, plus I was sick for the second half of the year, so I was absent for this whole year.

The main problem seems to be that most members and watchers are inactive. I did a bit of research, and found that actually 90% of the members on DA are ЯOM's (Яead Only Memebers). They can't draw, they just join/watch the group just to look at the art. Unlike Pixiv, which doesn't have the group feature, the circle is actually quite closely knitted.

Das ist alle! See you in 2012!

You basically create animal characters based upon your portable electronic devices, such as cellphones, gaming consoles, etc...

I'm starting to get really into HanMons, but I'm confused on one thing. When a user creates their own HM, does it become a "official" HM or is it just fan art?

If you create your own one, then it's official. Well, technically there are no real boundaries between official or fan art. But based on my own definitions, fan art only applies when you draw someone else's creation.

I can attempt to make my own handymonster, but I'm not entirely sure if it's going to look that good. I'm worried that nobody will like it.

Just a thought...The name/term "Handymon" ....refers to "handy monsters", right? It's dead cute...which is why I find it such a pity that it is only limited to electronic items.

I know you're trying to bring across the project over to DA while preserving its origins when it came about from pixiv.

But wouldn't allowing members to create Handymons based on the items they deem useful/handy (eg. mugs, bags, shoes) in everyday life be more versatile? It'll allow more creativity and variety too.

It's just a thought....^^;

But what do you think?

It's in interesting idea, but i don't think it will work. The concept of Handy Monsters is bringing hand held electronics to life. It's kinda awkward to have a living shoe. And I think were at a point where cell phones, mp3 players, ect. have become a standard everyday item.

You do not have to own a device to create a han-mon. And you don't have to make it cute either. It all lies on the creator's preference and creativity. :)
