Big thanks to all of you fantastic creature makers who entered our 2025 Creature Making Contest! As always, your level of creativity was through the roof.  With so many fun entries, it was nearly impossible to pick a single winner, but we are pleased to announce the Grand Prize goes to InkyPunkArt for their entry, The Banderbear.  Congratulations!


Here are some words from InkyPunkArt about their creation:

Fantasy adventure fiction has always been my safe place and my escapism, and no novels as much as ‘The Edge Chronicles’ by Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart. The Banderbear is one of my favourite creatures from the series, and so, inspired by the incredible illustrations of Riddell, I made my first puppet 7 years ago, and this guy more recently.

Made entirely by myself from scratch, he has an aluminium wire skeleton, a faux fur soft body stuffed with wadding and hand sculpted and painted head, hands and feet.
