You will need:
Your task is to create a surreal handscape.
In my example above I have created a hand monster. You can see that I have spent at least 50 minutes on this. I was remembering when I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid and the awesome monsters they had. I thought I'd do something like that. There's a story here, where the evil wizard "Surrealio" is creating the monster to protect himself from the valiant knight, " Lord Artemus". Your surreal handscape doesn't have to tell a story, but it does have to be a fully realized, finished project. It has to look like you spend 50 minutes on it. That means that the hand is the focus, you've made it unique and clever, there is a background, and the entire project is colored in.
