(literally my favorite plush growing up! I have two, one from my actual childhood that needs a restoration makeover and another for current cuddling purposes that wasn’t as well-loved so it looks newer. this pic is someone’s eBay listing though, not mine)

I’m about to make some nightmare shit

[ladylemrelle]

At some point I REALLY wanna make a book series like the old animal encyclopedias I had for certain species but of fictional creatures like sharkdogs and “new world gryphons” and such.

Sharkdogs are a generic thing but so many breeds of dog with types of sharks line up well so I’d like to make a proper thing for it.

New world gryphons are a specific kind of cat-bird hybrid griffin species I made up years ago. So while the idea of griffins made of real cat breeds and bird species exists, new world gryphon is my personal flavor of that but regardless, many cat breeds do like up with particular birds of sorts and I just think it would be fun!

My biggest issue is my lack of drawing ability… and commissioning quality art for a commercial product would be costly…!

Maybe one day tho!

North America's narrowest commerical street, deep sea creatures, and a 30 year passion project. It's three things I'm curious about this week.
