UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY Folks

PEOPLE I know how badly we need a new look for monsters. We have been planning this for months. In fact years together..Me and kasana are so sorry for this. Just not been able to find time . Been really busy with work.. But this time TIME people, We are gonna upgrade. I PROMISE, we are gonna surely upgrade. HARISH Thanx a lot for bringing this again.. Chandu, dapoon, xylem Sorry for not been able to spend time on monsters. Things have changed this week. I guess you folks already know :).. I will surely take up the initiative and start to draw out the stuff for monsters. I need help from all you guys. Lets do it this time. I had been talking to chandu , dapoon on facebook and i guess we had one hell of a session , but didnt take it forward from that, sorry my mistake again. So lets build people. I need inputs from you guys

1. What do you people see ANIMATIONMONSTERS as?
2. How do you want Monsters to be?
3. What type of content we need to add?
4.DESIGN...... This is a big thing...
5. Mond momelo...We need to build this guy up..We need a strong character for this guy. Infact i have this idea for him. Mond Momelo - Is a character who thinks his ideas can change the world . His ideas are unique but might seem stupid to the outer world,But at the end of the day IT WORKS, Not just WORKS, Its brilliant but stupid...What do you people think?
6. If any thing i have missed please add

COME ON PEOPLE..... HOP ON.. This time its coming to life. Will be waiting for you guys
