-Art and Writing Blog-

(All art and writing belongs to me unless stated otherwise)

I want to get better at coming up with cool creature designs. So I made this blog where people can suggest different creatures for me to create.

And for fun I'll be writing from the perspective of a character discovering them. A researcher named dr. Fiona Wanderwood

How to suggest a creature!

[fionas-field-guide]

I come to thy inbox requesting a creature! I would like a combination of cat, peacock, and dragonfly. Hostility: definitely a 1, as I would like as cute and cuddly a creature as you can draw ;). Size: probably a 5? About the size of a house cat, or a little bigger, please. Intelligence…how about a 6? And for extra quirks, maybe it glows or sparkles just a little bit? I am anxious to see this creature! :)

I found a creature similar to your description.

The creature didn't seem afraid at all, quite the contrary! It actually let me pet it. I can confirm that it's fur is just as soft as it looks. It's tail had a peculiar glow to it, and it's wings were moving extremly fast, creating a colorful blur. Futher observations are required to explain these phenomena. But my current hypothesis is that it might be for the purpose of attracting a mate. I had just finished my sketch and was going to try to offer it some food when...Alas! It flew away with a high pitched scream. I wonder if something startled it perhaps... I decided to finish my lunch back at my camp instead. Just to be safe.

Thank you for your contribution to my studies! Your humble independent resercher and friend!-Fiona

List of animals

Step 2. Choose some ✨️stats✨️(optional)

1-10 Hostility

(Ranging from 1: loves you and needs pets nowww! to 10: Will actively seek to kill you)

1-10 size

(Ranging from 1: roughly the size of a fly, to 2: Fits in your palm, 8:horse, 10:house, to beyond: really, really scary!)

1-10 intelligence

(Ranging from 1: blank stare, cricket sounds, nothing going on behind those eyes pal, 2: chicken, 5: dog, to 10: human level intelligence, to beyond: meaning problems. Serious problems.)

Step 3. Add some extra quirks: (optional)

Maybe it's bioluminecent, has 7 eyes or maybe none at all, messes with your brain in some way, camouflages itself, mimics noise, loves pickles to an extraordinary degree, or uses teacups or other objects for protection.
