The Glamour Beast enters!!
Chillhuahua - These creatures love the cold! They spend much of their time sleeping under the snow, licking metal poles, and accidentally poking people with their hard, icy tail!
I felt trying my hand at designing my own pokemon. I have always had a soft spot for the grass type pokemons, so I started there. These are inspired by elephants and tapirs. Optipir: Bubbly and easily excited, Optipir can’t wait to get out and see the world. Due to their speed they can be difficult to catch. Several trainers have noted that younger Optipir often smell like newly cut grass. Optiphant: A bit more of a troublemaker than when it was younger, it seeks out mischief and pushes boundaries. If a trainer manages to make an Optiphant follow orders consistently, then they have something special on their hands. Cynitodon: After a long rebellious youth the Cynitodon reflects on it's life and is constantly reminded of it's mistakes since Cynitodons never forget. Most Cynitodons finds a way to utilize this, though. Their attack "Sage Advice" hits their opponent with some serious wisdom and the opponent must use a turn to contemplate this. They are very large and warm, but are best kept in their pokeball at night since their snoring is deafening. A good trainer will often comfort their Cynitodon.
Some design work for the bachelor film I'm working on right now.
Yo people! So we have started this new co-op project in school and I have teamed up with louisegregersen / AtomicRay. The project is about making a quadroped / 4-legged animal, animating it and implementing into some life footage. We are working on a Berry Theif called Erebus, a mix in between a tapir and a lion cub. This is what we have so far.
I still think about this every now and then. Tick vampires are dope as hell!!
More of this vampire concept!! Still not sold on the head design, though. I think when the vamp has a liiiiil blood left in them their expandable tummy shows as a stripe of red, and that they don’t go entirely colorless until they’re fully emaciated. And I’m on the fence with the mandibles; on one hand, I LOVE mandibles, and on the other…well, ticks don’t have em, so it’s a question of how accurate to the source animal I want to be I guess.
yknow ticks also don’t have big digitigrade furry-ass legs either so maybe I’m just overthinking this.
DA l Twitter l Patreon
I watched The Sea Beast on Netflix and uh…. I’m obsessed XD
So here’s a couple creatures I made up lol
This one is based off a pikeblenny and a sailfin blenny
And I referenced firefish and blanket octopuses for this one
Hello dear friends, may I present a new Take on my sculpture called Mirror Mirror Vampire, nicknamed MMV. This is the blue Vamp close up and just a bit of creative fun , always trying to create a new image that perhaps might make for an exciting image.
I've recently started to experiment with the digital art world and I've set up an account on Rarible and I'm hoping to create some interesting images to place there. I hope you're well and I wish you a happy midweek, more artwork very soon, Take care 🤗👍👋
Hello dear friends, I hope I'm finding you well on this Tuesday evening, tonight may I present the pink toned sketch rendering of my sculpture called Spike.
This was created from my life size sculpture called Spike which was based on the characters from the film called Gremlins. The original clay sculpture was modelled in water based clay and a wonderful project to create.
I look forward to showing further art work very soon, keep well and Take care 🤗☺️👋
Had a dream about a thing that looked like this recently and I thought they were perfect for the season!
Strange things in the forest
Bloomfall and Whispwood- day and night
Tigerpillar day and night ✨
Tigarpillar is a small but mighty creature, measuring about 13 cm (roughly 5 inches) and can grow up to 1 meter (roughly 3 feet) in length depending on environmental factors. They enjoy eating leaves, berries, and insects. Their sharp retractable claws and strong bite make them an effective predator and they have been known to occasionally take down larger creatures up to twice their size.
Tigarpillar body markings and colours may vary depending on the region they are found, but can be easily identified by their dual tails and chubby peets.
Tonight was creechur design night!
I think I’ll call it a cockatrice! I imagine it’s a scrappy critter, probably the size of a bengal tiger. This one is a cock, and those orange structures on its beak are for display, along with that fancy tail. I might do the hen sometime too! I got the inspiration from a Pokémon ai generator, so if it looks familiar, that’s why.
My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰

had another go at drawing these guys :)
btw I like speculative evolution and biology so I once tried making up a little species of guy like I've seen other artists do.. they don't have a name yet and I don't know if they make a ton of sense but I thought someone would like to see them:) they're also not very developed or anything but yeah.. if ur more experienced with this stuff lmk if there's anything that can be improved:3

very rushed assignment i finished 1 1/2 hrs before class. kinda fucked him up but its alright (did not keep his teeth consistent enough)
anyways this looks like something tumblr would like. + the sketches for creature concepts (the three i liked at least)
im probably not gonna add this exact guy to my world building project but i’ll probably refine him and add a cooler version cause hes so silly <3
selkie posting hours. updated my selkie lore and came up with this design (don’t remember what the old lore was exactly but now the typical form for a selkie is a seal or this freak and a proper human disguise is much more difficult)
colored one is like.,. the first or second sketch so its a bit rough. but anyway ive been trying to improve my humanoid designs and integrate human and nonhuman features better and i like how these guys look. if i could fuck up the body proportions even more it would be fire.
feat. me trying to figure out how willow, my one confirmed selkie character would look in this form (very difficult his features do not mesh at all). also feat a radon fairy glenn drawing.
alright heres my final project for my illustration class. its a character design challenge that i made into a creature design challenge because why not. also feels like one of the few things ive made i can actually label as speculative evolution, yippee!
dont look too close at any of this bc none of it came out how i wanted but i have been thinkin up a unicorn species for my fantasy world. if i were better at drawing they would be a bit eerier/creepier,., sort of unnatural looking.
anyways sparknotes of their lore: these guys are giant and live in a big ass magic forest, eat tiny little sprite guys full of magic, and their tails are really big and used for fighting/defense
Inktober Day 7 : Exhausted !
Inktober Day 6: Drooling !
My first time participating in Inktober! Here's Prompt 1 for 2018 : Poisonous
The Asari, if they weren't humanoid
an idea i had
Tried my hand at redesigning the Asari from Mass Effect if they were a little bit less humanoid. One of the things about the Asari is that they're considered relatively attractive by pretty much most other aliens in the setting, so i didn't want to deviate to much from something that was fairly humanoid-ish. So I kinda went with something that was a combination between a bird and a rat, and i interpreted their crest as a fringe of feathers sort of like what cockatoos have. Turians I think are going to be be raptor like so having some bird features in as for salarians, I think the overall slender build and large eyes would be what they'd find appealing.
a collection of fun doodles and studies, of some critters
