Just preview of some unfinished toothy creature models I have in collection (: Most of them are creatures from my project Etharus.

Still unnamed Kyrdraak. Mountain dweller from Etharus. Their fav hunting technique is ambushing from thick fogs.

Some gryphon sketches so I can practice feathers and try out ideas. I looked at some cool birds and I really liked their unique beaks.

Creature design I came up with while playing Heroes of Might and Magic and listening to this game's fantastic soundtracks. Close relative to griffin? Gryphon-drake hybrid? I wanted to name it Fyraxis/Fylaksis but not sure if it fits :)

A gift for @coldweatherart , her desert unicorns (love them!). I worked on this piece for quite a long time, was experimenting with things.

Character Athrel and Runhirs (alien race from Etharus project) 2026's body. I did not work on Runhir stuff for few months now, but they still remain my beloved race. I got very close to what I want them to look like, but still struggling with proportions. Never ending development,but Im happy how they look now vs then.

Old concepts ^

Back to finishing some of personal pieces. Exploring Skelmir, the great dragon like beasts of Etharus. Once served in a big battle that put them on verge of extinction, despite that they are destined to rise once again. I used one of Skelmir characters here, they can look very distinctive from each other.

Two finished Dragon Booster fanarts: Furox Phorrj and Beau.

Not to be used without the permission.

[ravenlogg]

Fanart of Beau while being possesed by the spirit of ancient red battle dragon of war, Furox. Anyone watched and remember Dragon Booster? I always was tempted to do some proper fanarts for this past fav show of mine. In my head I created a more dark and serious image of this show, so gave this character a little twist to its design.

Stay tuned for other DB fanarts.

Some of the main Runhir characters. Athrel,Syeran and Rayeger are the newest, the rest are here since the day I designed Runhir race (: They are top tier ones, with most experience in stealth, fight, freerunning and knowledge of Kryt (only Rokkr and Athrel are quite above with these). I also wanted to show their rifts and how they are unique to each individual. More about these characters in future :)

Runhirs are my complex alien sapient race.

Fyhmir, a wardrah (combat companion). Its kind belong to Kyrdraak, which is a genus of lesser dragon like beasts of Etharus. They are incapable of using fire like any other dragons you find in media, yet they still poses capability that render them formidable.

The dragon was originally based on Xenodermus snake. Im still deciding on using blues for them, as they can have different colorations.
