I draw stuff sometimes

I also draw for money

Here's my take on the siren, an open sea predator that disguises itself to hunt sailors. Just in time for Mermay. . . What do you mean it's june?

It needs some more fleshing out but that's a proyect for future me.

This is another species I made up, meant to be the main predator of the whip tail deer.

These are pack hunters with hierarchies similar to wolves (a breeding pair are the "leaders" of the group and their children stay for a couple years helping the parents hunt and raise their siblings, learning how to hunt and how to raise their own young in the process) who communicate via the feathers on their head and with some verbal calls. The stripes on their body serve as camouflage and the symmetrical markings on the side of their faces serve as a way to tell each other apart. The beak protrusions over the eyes and the thick plumage on their arms serve as defense against their prey's counterattacks (the whip tail deer has a whip with spikes on the tip for a tail) and they are sort of in the middle of the flying spectrum, they can't soar but they can (clumsily) glide and they can jump and climb pretty well. They're a little over a metre tall and weigh about 30 kg (courtesy of hollow bones) on average.

Not to bait engagement right after the trailer for episode 9 was released, but I am going to bait engagement right after the trailer for episode 9 was released.

I stopped playing League of Legends like two years ago. . . I think. But of course the itch didn't go away. I've been happy playing stuff like Ravenswatch but I recently got into Deadlock and I've been really enjoying it. I suck at it, but I also sucked at League and that didn't stop me.

I do really like how both games have a unicorn girl though, they're extremely different characters (Soraka is a basic healer and Celeste a hypermobile mage/fighter) but they have a somewhat similar style and I thought it made good contrast. Also they're both pretty.

Honorable mention to the concept of tango for the pose.

I call this one the whip-tailed deer. I was a little lazy with this one but I do like how it ended up. Also it's not supposed to be a "True Deer". Those aren't antlers, they're bony horns and both males and females have them; they use the horns to dig roots and tubers. The tail is their main defense against predators, it has hardened hairs at the tip that act as spikes.

I like the iguanodon. A massive herbivore with a knife in each hand, I like to imagine the animal looking at a tyrannosaur straight in the eyes and doing the "I'm going to slit your throat open" gesture at it. So I took that concept and expanded on it.

Now the Keldar will literally do the "knife to the neck, I will slit your throat open" gesture as an intimidation display, the ridge on the top osteoderm on its neck allows the Keldar to sharpen their claws while doing it. I imagine them being EXTREMELY aggressive, kinda like a mix between a hippo and a honey badger. And the little spike on the chin? It's so that if any predator actually gets to the keldar's neck they'll stay there while the keldar stabs them to death.

Very hardcore, I like this one.

LEAKED OFFICIAL POMBON EVOLUTION LINE TOTALLY REAL NO FAKE THIS IS WHAT POMBON WILL EVOLVE INTO.

On a real note I do like Pombon and I like the idea that it just gets bigger and fuzzier as it evolves. Also Pombon reminds me of bonfires and so it evolves into a bonfire. Very silly but I drew it and now I'm posting it, I'll post the other two if I ever think of anything to evolve them into but I don't think I'll be able to match the sheer sillyness invoked with Pombon.

Also yes I did copy-paste the face because it's already perfect.

I've been wanting to draw a Varang thirst trap since I saw the movie and finally I did. . . The closest thing I could. I swear I'm trying to be as cheap and sexy as I can, but I just can't let go of the cool factor with Varang. Next thirst trap will be better. . . Probably. But first I'll draw a couple more monsters.

I think I'm finally deciding what I'm going to do with this account though. I'll draw the things I enjoy (duh), which is monsters and hot women. Can't go wrong with monsters and hot women.

Remember the toraton from the Future is Wild? This is him now. Feeling old yet?

On a real note I made this animal like this purely because I have an overly armed carnivore and I needed a really monstrous prey item to justify giving my carnivore horns and a tail mace AND saber teeth. This one, the pyroceratops and another creature I haven't drawn yet are supposed to be the main prey of this overly armed predator.

I also really liked the idea of having what looks like a "normal" sauropod walking around and then it gets startled and tucks its head in like a tortoise before pulling out a bunch of knives.

[rantingrando]

I like it when I see a random shape on the spiderwebs or on the folding of cloth and I can draw something out of it. Made with the inspiration of that one worn out bathroom tile.

[rantingrando]

This is my take on the pyroceratops. Basically just a Triceratops but a few differences:

1. Longer tail, both as defense and for communication with other members of the herd.

2. A big, muscular hump like a bison, allowing it to really shake that helmet around.

3. Iridescent streaks on the crest, this one's a male. I can imagine the females having some basic color on their crest but nothing as shiny.

4. Bone pauldrons for the cool factor and to stabilize the head for. . .

5. Two pouches of chemicals that it can spray at will and that react together to form an incendiary explosion like a bombardier beetle, but BIGGER.

I guess it is a little bit different from a triceratops. Also the perspective was a BITCH on this one but I'm glad this thing's finally out of my head and into the paper.

I'm not entirely sure what I was going for with this. I like the glow effect I made by copying the stripes and applying gaussian blur.

I saw this meme a while ago on Reddit and thought I'd give it a try. It's a little low-effort but I think that makes it funnier.

[rantingrando]

When I decided to draw a mix between Lokix and Gallimimus I was not expecting it to look so much like a kangaroo. I am extremely satisfied with this background though. It's simple but VERY noticeably unnoticeable and if you look at my previous work you'll know I've been struggling with that for a while.

Inspired by all the hornyposters on the ∃na subreddit, and by that one scene on Titanic. I added glitter because she deserves it.

Behold, the Megalomothros!

Fellas if you ever get art blocked literally pick two random "things" and fuse them together, I am SHOCKED at how well it works. This is a mix between a Venomoth and Megaloceros.

Originally I was kinda lost as to what to do but googling references I got the idea of "reverse metamorphosis" where the baby form flies and the adult becomes big and flightless and I added the baby form as well as more Venonat inspiration for the adult. This was very fun.

A friend commissioned me to draw their pet with angel wings. I experimented a bit with Krita stamps too, this was a fun one. Posted with permission of course.
