Great Renaissance master Leonardo Da Vinci was looking for ideas watching wet fresco plaster, ancient Greeks were designing architectural details after natural flower forms proving that the timeless ideas are the ones provided by nature. But what is the best source of creativity in contemporary saturated world with constant demand for fresh ideas for games and movies? Artists from The Monster Engine turned their views on simple children drawings and repainted them with professional skills, look at them, the result will surprise you:Drawings [drawergeeks]
Hey, game developers, looking for a killer character design? Check what your kids are expressing with crayons.

Here are some of the pictures. They are truly fascinating. I highly recommend hitting their site and viewing their gallery. Many of the beautiful features of these drawings are lost in the smaller pictures. The images on their site are much larger to appreciate all the finer details.
Yes, the kids go crazy sometimes, they are like idea generators;)
That’s it. Here comes my stick figure “master piece” game. Halo 3 what? Bungie what? Yay that’s right Master Chief. I thought so. In other news. this is pretty cool. I think Bungie will hire my now that my skills are of such a caliber. Good idea generator though.
I bet you could come up with a good stick figure game! LOL … Well, I would want to see the story line first. ; )
Two things I am interested in seeing in regards to this article. I would love to see an artist do one of his/her own pictures from their childhood as an adult. The picture as they did it when they were elementary school age, and then the same picture again when they are grown. Another thing I would love to see is a site such as that one that you could send them one of your children’s drawings and have them transform it that way (for a price of course). As a parent, that would be an absolutely priceless gift.
I loved looking at these pictures and pouring over the details. It is amazing how exactly the same they are while being totally and completely different. So fascinating.
