Creature Design - Blog Posts
Slowly working on Funguary, first 5 prompts
I had a dream where I was a werefolk who can turn into a raven creature, and I was bringing gifts from mortal realm to cryptic creature in another dimension One day this blind giant spider took notice that someone visits him, and tried to catch bird, but it escaped and stopped showing in his realm And then spider has decided to find bird by himself, arriving as an anthro being in formal suit, because, y'know, you don't want to scare mortals by showing in original building sized spider form So I drew this pal and want to doodle bird as well, but maybe a bit later It's funguary soon, and I need to finish some owed stuff first :']
When you're close to me...
... When you see your favorite parasite knight whom you annoy endlessly.
These are two ocs who are in the same world as Benji. I don't have alot of practice drawing extreme perspective but it's something I definitely want to improve at.

Unfortunately don’t have the physical copy anymore but YAAAA
Lighting goes strange
Also going to finally make a pinned post for all my stuff:
BOGLEECH - my tumblr blog is named after this website I created around 2002 and still update. Thousands of pages worth of content focusing on creature design as well as real biology. My review of the original Legend of Zelda monsters might be the most straightforward example of my articles. Links to some of the most popular content:
POKEMON REVIEW ARCHIVE: - I rate and review each and every single Pokemon, in Pokedex order, on its merits as a creature design. I also do so as someone whose favorite animals are all parasites.
DIGIMON REVIEW ARCHIVE - same, but more chaotic.
CREEPYPASTA COOKOFF ARCHIVE - for several years I hosted a yearly writing contest before it grew too big for me to keep up with. There are over a thousand user submitted horror, fantasy, sci fi and surrealist stories here emphasizing unconventional, original ideas you seldom see from the "creepypasta" community!
The original "MORTASHEEN" Monster Archive - since the early 2000's I've created and illustrated more than 800 creatures and counting for my own monster-catching world, now set for release as a tabletop RPG setting.
AWFUL HOSPITAL: SERIOUSLY THE WORST EVER (page one): an interactive comedy-horror-sci-fi webcomic I started in 2014 about a medical facility that could maybe be better.
Some of my other internet stuff:
PATREON - constant work makes my patreon updates inconsistent, but the content backlog goes back years with a huge amount of exclusive art and writing. I try to put up new exclusive stuff whenever I can.
ETSY - I design all sorts of original enamel pins like these, plus I sell zero-maintenance terrarium plants (just leave them in a jar!), original books and other things!
COLOR THE ABYSS (available on the above etsy!) - a 30 page educational deep sea coloring book! Includes a few famous favorites like giant isopods and hagfish, but mostly focuses on less popular, often much weirder animals.
UNBELIEVABLE BUGS - also regularly restocked in the etsy store, 30 of the strangest and most surprising arthropods most people have likely never heard of, illustrated by myself and @revretch, written for even the youngest kids to understand (but will likely teach you something new at any age)
My Itch.io and Ko-fi - both sell digital versions of my books, including some creepypasta collections and my first novel, "Return of the Living," about a world of entirely ghosts suddenly dealing with the appearance of ghost-hunting monsters.
TWITCH CHANNEL - I now try to stream something at least monthly, sometimes weekly when possible, from horror games to books and art.
YOUTUBE CHANNEL - archives my twitch streams and other little things.
INSTAGRAM - look at pictures of my huge weird collection of toys and Halloween collectibles
BLUESKY - I'm going to put mainly just updates to my stuff on here. SEE ALSO:
HUMANS-B-GONE - a science fiction animated series by my partner @revretch, about a world of kaiju-size, technologically advanced insects and arachnids to whom vertebrates like us are just pesky little "gubs." Also has a tumblr account @humansbgone
Logs
i've always combined the two main interpretations of kobolds as lizards and dogs into one in my head
lizard dog.. log.. or dizard
This one of my favourite monster designs that I've seen in a while, omg <333333
Made of carcinogens and love
My original creature
Morecerhino
MY RESIDENT EVIL OC
The Demon Beast
My Resident Evil OC
but I don't know what the creatures will be called.
Sivatherium and Diprotodom, but I adapted their designs to the ICE AGE world
The Grinch and Max
But if I made my own adaptation of Dr. Suess How the Grinch Stole the Christmas!
I was thinking if I would do Ice Age in live action? How would I redesign all the main characters?
So I drew it and I think they look impressive
What do you think of my redesign of Manny, Sid and Diego and others?
My Kirby Right Back at Ya OC named Bruno
Bruno, who has a traumatic memory from the past from his family, especially his father's, which influenced him as a person who gets angry and negative and also cruel, who can be brutally violent towards someone, someone who hurts others physically or mentally, but even then he can still be with a kind heart.
He came from the planet earth who escaped to other planets, after that time he went through a lot, he met one Waddle Dee who gave him a bandana so that he wouldn't get confused by the same waddle dees and called him Bandada Bee who became Bruno's faithful companion who would follow Bruno even if over time divided he still finds him. after that he met Sirica where he learned from her the events about the Star Warriors who fought against eNeMeE and their monsters, and also at that time Sirica taught Bruno and waddle dee to fight with different weapons.
After some time Bruno and Bandana Dee were attacked by a monster that belonged to eNeMee but Bruno was kidnapped and Bandada Dee split up for a while and was taken to eNeMeE's Fortress where he met eNeMeE himself and gave Bruno's ability that he can produce special energy from his body, and with that energy he has the ability to create yellow electricity that comes out of his body, mainly from his hand, with that electricity he can create some kind of orange matter, of different shapes, according to his imagination, which he mostly uses during battle and creates shields or imprisons the enemies of his matter, but when the energy goes through his body, it cuts off a piece of his body, when the energy has to get out, he accidentally injured himself while using his ability.
Adeleine (who also worked for Nightmare Enterprises as a scientist) helped him and designed special gloves so that when Bruno produces energy, it will go out without harming his body so that he can use his abilities after that, he was trained in fighting and using his skills. Which was trained by a demon-looking man with big horns, where he improved in fighting. After that one person named MOR who is the head of his company who manufactures weapons, spaceships, and robotic suits, just anything technological who served eNeMeE, who enslaved beings named Jacobites (a race known in their cultures as some of the best and most creative engineers in the galaxy), built the entire Fortress, he was impressed by Bruno's skills and after a long time he bought him so that Bruno could serve him for him and began to invest in him in a program called Project B01, which was handed over to various teams of Jacobites to researches and experiments on Bruno in the laboratory and designed the suit as armor for his protection and also to protect the plastic tanks and hoses inside the suit and also designs weapons and gadgets on the suit, her project from Bruno make it an unstoppable force, and the suit, weapons and gadgets in the suit and also the Jacobites create replacement fluids that are cloned from certain energy from Bruno, which can charge him and put extra on plastic tanks for resources that are hidden in parts of the suit behind his head, which will go to Bruno's hand through these hoses and from which he can create electricity from the body. But still outside of his suit he is just as vulnerable, if you destroy the protection of the parts of the suit and the inside of the suit which are his weaknesses, and you can kill him.
In the events where Kirby defeated eNeMeE and their group let the whole eNeMeE's Fortress explode and destroy for good and not all the workers and monsters were evacuated for time Bruno could only watch as his suit was turned off and he could not move in it he was taken to of a spaceship to another planet Jacobites that Mor owns and made the same planet a hundred whole factories, where he was further experimented and his suit and overall project was finished and worked for MOR as an eliminator who pursues his victims no matter where they run who has one task to eliminate what he gives him to order, but after each failure he will punish him with his with a whip or he will kill someone that Bruno cared about.

My kaiju OC, Titanus Gurlo
Strange gigantic mammals that move underground, capable of digging long tunnels throughout the earth, through which they could, for example, dig their way straight into hollow earth or build nests underground.
While he is not yet the tallest he is damn long like snakes, most can be more than 75 meters tall and more than 1640 meters long yes that long, his body is covered with spines and scales on the other side of the body mainly tail to protect the body and uses his two big sharp horns for attack and with his long scaly tail which can hit the opponent hard and damage their body or even crush their heads to death
And his color will be wheat and a little brown.
Golbo in a handmade sweater! :D (Golbo belongs to ppl behind @zooliminology )
He's just a little guy 🥺 (Longlegs belongs to ppl behind @zooliminology)
id honestly never considered monster hybrids at all but after seeing this all i can think of is the possibilities holy shit!!
werebat and vampwolf are my personal favourites because bat/wolf hybrids are objectively horrifying and amazing and holy shit this is so creative i love it sm
Werewolf/Vampire Hybrids based on this one ask I got! Please click through each panel for details, and let me know which is your favorite! :D
(ID and bonus OC under the Read More!)
There is a column of four panels. Each panel has a digital drawing of a werewolf/vampire hybrid, along with blocks of text describing the creature.
First Panel: A crouching purpley-grey werewolf with batlike features is in the right corner. Top left, there's a 3/4ths view of a man with tan skin, dark brown hair, small wolf ears, and grey-brown stubble. Near the bottom-middle of the page is a white and tan werewolf with batlike features. The text reads:
BATWOLF
Offspring of Werewolf mother and Vampire father, or when a Werewolf mother is bitten by Vampire during pregnancy. Though smaller than most werewolves, its heightened senses and intelligence make just as dangerous. “Human” form resembles a somewhat furry Vampire, or quasi-shifted Lycan. White Vampire Bat color variation, know as the “Rouge the Bat” pelt (this text is next to the white werebat). Reduced weakness to silver and wolfsbane. Astute and lethal ambush predators Able to inject vampiric venom.
Second Panel: A black, angular werewolf on four legs, with one of its clawed hands pointing up. It's maw and claws are dripping with dark red blood. It has two bite marks on its neck. Its eyes have beady dots of red, and its fangs are yellow. To the right of the page are two smaller busts of two canine creatures. The first is a profile of the same type of werewolf, black with red eyes. The second is a hellhound with a glowing red chest and a fiery mane, curved ears and fully red eyes. Underneath the busts are three circular swatches (left to right: white, black, and dark rusty red). Text reads:
VAMPWOLF
Result of Werewolf bitten by Vampire. Given that the Werewolf survives, it will develop a frenzied craving for fresh blood and will no longer consume meat of prey. Extremely dangerous during the Full Moon. Features angle after infection sets in. Vampire bite marks do not heal. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH HELLHOUNDS. Only three color variations. Must sleep in a Werewolf-sized coffin in case of transformation during Slumber.
Third Panel: A huge tan werebat. The underside of its wings are dark brown. It has a pointed pink noise. There is a closeup of its open mouth and vampire bat fangs. There are also two different posed wings drawn on the left side of the panel. They are drawn small as a diagram example of how a wing can look turned in our stretched out. There is also a tiny doodle of a cartoon werebat face with X's over its eyes. Text reads:
WEREBAT
Result of Vampire bitten by Werewolf; if the Vampire survives, it will transform into a Werebat the next Blood Moon. Vampires who do not reverse the curse by the Blood Moon will transform into a Werebat every following Full Moon. Victims often beheaded for access to more blood. As the vampire ages, werebat form balds. Does not howl, but shrieks and clicks to echolocate. Relies on sensitive hearing to hunt.
Fourth Panel: This is split between two types of monster. To the left, a cream-colored furred vampire with reddish brown hair and yellow eyes. He is tall and thin, with arms too long to be humanoid, wearing blue fannel, skinny black jeans, and a purple coffee mug. He wears silver bands around his wrists, and he also has fangs and long pointy ears. His feet are paws. A small neck-up bust of his werewolf form is to his left. The werewolf has cream and brown fur, yellow eyes, and long vampire fangs. Text reads:
FURRED VAMPIRE
Offspring of Vampire father and Batwolf mother. Werewolf form retains Vampire intelligence and sensibilities. Food substitutes can work to abate craving for fresh blood. Often sleeps in coffins because "It's just comfier". No weakness to silver. Not undead, but often anemic. Since a werewolf curse is not lifted across generations, a Furred Vampire still transforms under a Full Moon, but has a reduced appetite and a more anthropomorphic appearance.

To the left, a lanky cool grey werewolf with pitch black eyes, a flared purple-black nose, and vampiric fangs. Her human form is pictured with two headshots, one with a beanie and mask on, another with a grey shirt. Her human form has tan skin, dark eyes, and vampire fangs and ears. Text reads:
WEREPIRE
Offspring of Werebat and Werewolf. Werewolf form closely resembles a regular werewolf, with exception to facial features. Completely black eyes, reduced night vision. Flared nostrils. Fang placement to the front of top jaw. Human form easily disguised. No necessity or craving for fresh human blood. Sometimes prone to dormant garlic allergy.
Fifth panel, under the cut: A cool grey anthro wolf with a black and cool blue vampire cape stands looking profile. He has a white neck collar with a moonstone in the center. Text reads:
IAGO
Extremely polite Werevamp* (except during Full Moons, when he goes apeshit)
Loves Shakespeare
Prefers anthro form.
Moonstone allows him to shift at-will
Snooty bitch <3
*A werevamp is the general term for any werewolf/vampire hybrid. Sometimes, “werevamp” refers to a vampwolf that remains in anthro wolf form between Full Moons to abate the bloodlust of vampirism.
A D'Lallhen, a creature which likes to snack on dwarves and gnomes. Spot illo for my rpg-related blog. You can read about it here.
