De-Humanizing Fantasy Races 2: Electric Boogaloo

PT1

the sequel everything obviously has been waiting for in all of history

ELVES

i forgot to cover High elves in the last one which i did have concepts for already HIGH ELVES are when elves of either type live for a very long time, (>1000 years) when magic has concentrated enough inside their body, they metamorphize into a higher form, something akin to a jellyfish, flying off magic, which when running out eventually, they fall to the ground and become roots of a new forest, typically above their body the largest tree sits.

DWARVES

shamelessly stealing the design from MonsterGarden check out their stuff on them, big inspiration to this. i love their design on it and it works PERFECTLY for what i'm going for here. i was gonna explain the design from there but, just like, watch their video on them, send them thoughts AND ad-revenue

GNOMES

a Intelligent fungoid species, which uses its roots as limbs, they operate in a colony with other gnomes, forming bodies for eachother to operate as puppets, leaving their cap outside of the body as a head, looking like a red cone. as fungoids they have a sudo hivemind, being able to communicate through touch and through electrical currents between them vaguely understand what each are thinking, typically working in a colony-first mentality but they do have their own personalities craftsmanship is usually valued highly in gnome society as they make usually multiple bodies for themselves during their lifetime.

not quite as meaty as the last one i think but still a pt3 of it! please send me an ask or reply if i missed your favorite fantasy species or some details to add/change tho them! i'll probably do a pt3 soon for all the fantasy races that distinctly were half-human in their descriptions (I.E mermaids/merfolk, Centaurs, ETC) and some other niche-ish races (also anything anyone send an ask or reply of) as i think the ones i covered now and in PT1 were more MAINLINE fantasy (stuff like i think probably everyone with a vague interaction with fantasy knows)

Trenchtober/Tennotober

Day 1: Armor

--

When I do these month-long prompt lists I usually pick from two to keep things fun for me. So my "tennotober" will also include prompts from Monstergarden's "trenchtober".

Trenchtober day 7 “stranger”

“Today i found this masked stranger in my village he was always drawing and studying I don’t think he liked it when i did the same to him…”

I thought it’d be funny to draw him flustered as the one being drawn for once, after it was said in a monster garden stream the stranger wears a disguise to not draw attention to himself even though it totally has the opposite effect

Inktober Day 10: Fortune/Wounded

[gristicuffs]

The monstergarden/trenchtober community got me back into drawing. These aren't based on any prompts yet, they're just my first sketches in like a decade. Power went out last night so that's why the lighting is like that.

there lies a cult in the wilderness, its members ornately dressed with grand headpieces and fabrics in eccentric and rare colors, at first glance they may seem fairly unassuming if not obnoxiously opulent...

however upon close examination one may notice their clothes are bonded to their muscles and tendons, thru years of ritual it seems they rend their flesh and graft in its place their very outfits, hammering Golden decorations deep into their eyes and replacing their ears with Gilded horns all in an effort to resemble the deities they worship! This was made for the Monstergarden Inktober, i however ran a bit wild with it and now its a fullblown faction in my world!
