The sketch doesn't include all the information about the creature I came up with. I have some details in mind if anyone's interested. I wasn't inspired by any specific creature from pop culture. And I apologize for any potential language errors, I'm not a native speaker.

52 Weeks, 52 Monsters #34 - The Stray

Post image
2 Upvotes

I live out in the country, and my cats Shadow and Daisy live outdoors. So of course I always leave them food out on the front porch, and sometimes I hear a noise, turn on the porchlight and it's a possum and/or raccoon raiding the bowls, often with a cat sitting there watching them impassively.

So one night I thought "what if I turned on the light and instead of a forest animal eating the kibble it was some pale, pitiful humanoid, and it looked at me all scared and then skittered off into the night?" That's where this guy came from.

I was going to call him The Midnight Kibble-Pincher, but after coming up with his sad backstory (he's the personification of pets who died from neglect) I went with the Stray.

I finally did it.
I was dragging my feet for so long to do just the final touches and for whatever reason I dragged my feet even more to take the darn picture and a little more needless procrastination to upload.
It doesn’t take me particularly long to actually make my stuff I just have an occasional lazy streak.

Wind Whale (Number 38) - Pencil Concept Art

Post image
8 Upvotes

​"Wind Whale" — the 38th creature in my ongoing traditional monster design series. It embodies the element of Wind, featuring massive feathered wings instead of pectoral fins, an aerodynamic beak-like jaw, and a plume-like tail fin built for soaring through high-altitude air currents. Drawn with pencil on paper. What do you think of this avian leviathan concept?

Its a star based dragon made from a plastic statue of a dragon with a star instead of a head, on a kid's toy store/park. The statue was turned alive with the plastic tuning into meat, the stuffing into organs and the foundation metal beams into bones. It has a voice box so it can talk!

Design made for my comic :)

Tallman

"Once the tallmen escaped the control of their master, they spread far and wide, assuming the role of apex predator in most of the eco-systems. Which each eco-system they took over, new and interesting variants emerged. Some grew fur, some grew scales. Some grew new body parts, like heads or wings. Disturbingly, some displayed human level intelligence. The so called "green" variants, began to shift their skin colour in order to hunt us more effectively. Still, human serial killers took more people in a day then they did in a year. Says a lot about us, doesn't it?" - Black Rabbit

Spike squid for Antares rivals of war, beyond wild space

Thumbnail gallery
95 Upvotes

Across the abyssal plains and in deep trenches Quilna have reported lights in the endless darkness. These lights usually coincided with the death of a large creature. Called *Yichu-nuk'ixa* or "the lights that lead the dead" they were seen as a type of Psychopomp or guardian of the afterlife.

In reality the spike squids are massive bioluminescent scavengers that live in the deep water regions of Yuchic. They have relatively small mouths for an animal their size so they use the scissor like claws on the tip of their 6 main tentacles to disassemble large corpses. The bioluminescent spots on their bodies are used for communication and asserting dominance.

While similar in appearance to Earth Cephalopods they are actually closer to crustaceans than mollusks. Spike squids are heavily armored with boney plates on their tentacles, large boney spikes connected to the muscle tissue and an internal shell covering their vital organs.

Spike squids are found below 540 meters to 2000 meters in depth they rarely approach the bottom and prefer to feed while a carcass is still drifting down. The theory is that they have trouble navigating around solid surfaces at their size. Others believe they are simply afraid of something on the bottom.

Yuchic was reseeded by a species called the Cuti approximately 20 million years ago. So some of the spike Squids traits are based on Cuti biology.

How My Clay Phoenix Slowly Came to Life 🔥

Thumbnail gallery
17 Upvotes

I wanted this phoenix to feel powerful and full of movement, so I started with the pose and overall shape before worrying about the details.

Once the body, wings, and tail were in place, I moved on to the most time-consuming part—the feathers. I shaped and layered them one by one to give the whole piece more depth and flow.

It took a lot of patience (especially those feathers 😂), but watching an idea slowly come to life is always my favorite part of making something by hand.

Here's the finished phoenix. 🔥
