Creaturanuary Prompt 9 - Kirin

I had a couple different directions I wanted to take this prompt, but ended up doing something entirely different.

These are Obsidian-backed Kirins, found across the world of Unina. They make great work beasts, often pulling farming equipment and heavy loads of produce.

A little bug friend for today🍃

Do you guys have praying mantises where you live?

The Domestic Werewolf will respond to a spritz of water if misbehaving (assuming he’s not too hungry, that is) Another creaturanuary!

Creaturanuary Prompt 14 - Phoenix

I’ve been looking forward to this prompt for a bit. Depicted in this illustration is a Valkyrie Phoenix, a guardian species of Unina. This specific character is a Damis sub-variant, known as the ‘soldiers’ of the species.

Creaturanuary Prompt 10 - Cyclops

They wouldn’t give me the song I wanted ☹️

Anyway, the cyclops is a fun creature. I think they definitely need more representation in media and art. Also I think it would be fun to play with the idea of these guys just being roughly human height.

I feel like cyclops’ never have hair, which is so unfortunate because they could rock some sick styles.

I’ll probably build on a cyclops idea further down the line, but I’m not sure what I’ll do with it. I want to give them a bit more pizazz than just “tall man with club rah rah”

I’ll come back to this idea for sure

Creaturanuary Prompt 8 - Jackalope

Jackalopes are a really cool, underrated creature.

Jackalopes are a common creature found in Tmaizerin, across all continents and islands. Many of their cousin species are also found in these habitants, and they’re found co-mingling.

Much like deer and other cervidae, Tmaizerin Jackalopes go through an antler shedding every two years. During this time, they’re more skittish.

I reckon I’ll definitely be drawing more Jackalopes after this challenge. A surprisingly fun thing to draw.

Creaturanuary Prompt 7 - Golem

I played with a couple concepts for this one. I wanted to focus more of the concept of ‘golems are human made’ than necessarily their materials. So I’ve got example of a clay/rock one, a glass one and a paper origami one, that most likely a child would make.

These are all Tmaizerin based, where magic is a bit stronger to achieve mostly self-sentient beings like Golems to assist.
