A Free Freer Free submission! I hadn't drawn Mae-Mow in a while, and despite her species being literally 'Space Otter' I felt she resonated with this song more than Space (I'm so negative). So here she is enjoying a windy day!

Hybrid Variations

There are many different ways a hybrid can look, even when it’s the same two creatures. The examples shown here are just a few of the possibilities when a bird and a snake form a hybrid. Any of the traits of either parent could pass down, from the coils, to the feathers, to the beak and legs. As long as the child has at least one trait from each parent, it can be considered a hybrid and has the potential to pass down any trait from either parent to its own offspring.

For example, the bottom right snake-bird could have a child with wings, despite not possessing wings itself.

Idk how many of these guys will be actual characters in the actual anthology chapter, but this is a standard Troo Mountain Lion! Aside from the spikes around their necks, which all of them have, the other patches of spikes grow in more random places on their body. The spots shown here are the most common though.

I imagine there's a bit of color variation, but not nearly as much variety in what stones grow out of their body, unlike Troo Mountain Goats which can have basically any kind of rock ever. The Lions basically always just have these.

Finally designed this thing. The begrudging antagonist of the Fire chapter in the Elemental Anthology, Tybian the Heatseeker Dragon!

Heatseeker Dragons hunt and swallow Phoenixes whole, storing them in their glass throat-pouch, absorbing the heat given off by them (or they swallow shed feathers, which also give off heat but not infinitely). The only other reliable way to sustain a Heatseeker long-term is to find and claim a volcano. Any Heatseeker family is bound to eventually cause their dwelling-volcano to go dormant, heat absorption turning magma back to rock.

Thus, Tybian arriving poses a problem for the Cassowary family, as they live on a volcano.

Redesigned Rosco the Chroma. Because I had an idea for a Mythcre anthology he could feature in and I wanted something slightly less annoying to draw ;; also designed the character who will sever his attunement. Because I needed that toooooooo

Redesigning old characters for Wolf & Tiger is like. Therapeutic I think. I missed this fella in particular. Need to give all the Guardian Dragons a glow-up, but I know for a fact that the rest of them aren't as 'chibi' as Flamely is. Maybe all their names are fake names too now, to keep them anonymous in-universe.

Anyway hi Flamely!!!! He's a cuddlebug, about as big as a medium-sized dog (all the other Guardian Dragons are more imposing-sized) and his 'job' involves a whooole lotta downtime. He jokes that the portals in the portal room are his hoard.

I'm just gonna look up sky pictures and color pick them. Cirrius v3. I think the way I've been drawing the clouds has been one of the things I'm getting stuck on so like. Let's experiment a little with that

[therantingsage]

I changed her name. She's no longer 'White Halo' because literally as long as she's had a concrete design she's been lavender. I'm just very averse to changing character names. But! Whatever! She's real and here and now on Art Fight as Lavender Light!
