    Choose a place for your monster friend to live. It can be almost anywhere, it can even be in your own neighborhood, there is no limit when it comes to monster making.
  4. 4
    Write up a profile for your monster. Write up a profile for your monster including his/her appearance, personality, traits, skills/powers, monster friends, enemies, hobbies and where it lives - or if they are a bad guy monster you can replace the hobbies bit with 'Strategy' and put 'Weakness' at the bottom and write down what their weaknesses are.
  5. 5
    Do a design of what they would look like. You can either do a drawing or painting of what they look like, or if you're not good at those you can use a program like HeroMachine.
  6. 6
    Think of some friends or enemies for your monster. If there is more than one monster in your story, you can make them either a friend or enemy of your monster. You can make up your own bad guy monsters for your monster character to fight if he/she is a hero, or his/her own minions if he/she is a villain or villainous.
  7. 7
    Write stories about your monster. Storytelling is a great visual medium, you can use this to write up lots of stories about your monster and his friends.

    Touch up the things that need fixing. If there are a few things that need fixing like spelling errors and such, it doesn't hurt to give it up a touch-up.
  9. 9
    Share your creation with the world. Now that you have created your very own monster it is time that you share him/her/it with the world, you can do this by printing out the various different stories you have written about them and reading them with your friends, you can also go on sites like DeviantART and register.
