Woodland Stuff, Yea

Aspiring naturalist, Taxidermist, I dabble in some creature/monster designs. I enjoy franchises like Monster hunter and Fallout.

Big mutated (FEV?) heron

Come on now! I’m itching for more monster birds in fallout, I want a really big heron, perhaps Mildly messed up, or maybe a giant cormorant would be cool.

me, watching my mutuals post ceaselessly about a fandom i’m not in:

[the-picklepike]

More plant animals, I feel like somethings missing, like I can(t) push for a more obscure and wild looking design but idk. I’ll probably write lore for them sooner or later.

The Evil Within: The Keeper

I love these types of lads.

[the-picklepike]

Moooreee plant-animals, heavily armored, except that one little nimble guy.

[the-picklepike]

Even More plant-animals, I might actually turn this into a world building project but idk we’ll see how I’m feeling with these critters.

(I love my critters dearly)

[the-picklepike]

Even more plant-animals, all the flying species I’ve sketched up so far.

[the-picklepike]

Squid wyverns, Humboldt and flying variants.

[the-picklepike]

Plant-animals, or something of the sort.

Posting wasp propaganda because my ass is seething yo!

Update! Edited background to be lighter for better legibility, usually use grey backgrounds for artwork and forgor that it probably wouldn’t be great to read!

[oh-he-grows]

More than anything else, gardening has taught me how sweet and beautiful and unique and important wasps are

they are unapologetically my favorite bugs and I will coexist with them as long as I live

Fallout: London wildlife

Another set of horribly mutated and irradiated critters, this time based on one of my favorite fallout 4 mod! If I could model and animate I’d definitely be making these a reality.

1. Rad roe (roe deer)

Common species seen within woodlands, small towns, and pastures. They feature ghoulish snouts and protruding antler growth on their faces, they are rather skittish but are nonetheless willing to defend themselves.

2. Radger/ tunnel bear (European badger)

A slightly larger but equally feisty creature. They use their large claws for digging elaborate burrows and carving holes into its victims.

3. Rad pheasant (ring-neck pheasant)

Small and rather unassuming birds whose color brings a small hint of wonder to whoever spots them. They can make for a great meal if you can catch them.

4. Hedge beast (common hedgehog)

Terrifying beasts that hide writhing brambles, waiting for their unsuspecting victims. There hard spines have a poisonous rad effect.

5. Big reds (European red stag)

The proudest creatures walking among the isles. Wielding powerful hooves and branch-like antlers, they are prized among many for their sheer prowess.

[the-picklepike]

Some more fallout fan critters, herons, condors, and bobcats.

I took a little inspiration from the giant mutated turkey vulture from fallout 76 and put my own spin on a California condor, a new beastie for Nevada’s deserts. They prowl the wastes, hiding within high advantage points or crafting old architecture into nests. Would most likely be a pest for Brahmin ranchers. A name has yet to be decided for them.

Mutated herons, also known as “swamp walkers” are enormous counterparts to great blue herons. Hiding amongst the tall trees before striking with deadly precision, a predator amongst mirelurks and travelers alike.

The last critter is a larger, scarier, mutated bobcat, stalking traders or lone travelers from afar before attacking. Don’t have much written about this creature but I’m open for suggestions on any of my wasteland beasts!

[the-picklepike]

(This one’s for you 0heku0)

The Michigan special, Death turkey!

I’d depict them to be (mostly) docile, traveling in large flocks, scrounging around the wastes. Mutated variants of eastern wild turkey or even rio grande/merriam turkey. I’ll probably do a colored version in the future because turkey are very beautiful birds.

[the-picklepike]

Second set of fallout creature designs I’ve been sketching. Based on midwestern wildlife, first critter is basically a giant pond-hawk or “rad dragon” as I’ve named it. Second critter is a bigger, meaner beaver that I’ve nicknamed the “lumber rat” then of course the whitetail deer, a spinoff of the the rad stag perhaps I could name it the rad stag wanderer or something.

[the-picklepike]

Some fallout creature designs I’ve been playing around with. Thinking about naming them “screechers” first lad is based on pileated woodpeckers and the second being some sort of raptor. Mid sized, bipedal birds of death.

[babymarkers]

ive missed you

[amygdalae]

still fucks me up what a bad rap coyotes get in peoples eyes. like ive talked to people who  see em as like. gross pests who should be culled. theyre literally just as cool as wolves just a lil smaller and less confident. i love them with all my heart to balance out all the coyote haters out there, coyotes rule theyre doing great

[amygdalae]

imagine having hatred in your heart for this beast

[amygdalae]

this post was so fucking funny I literally was just like “I like coyotes I think they’re cool” and so many people fucking hated it. Shut up I’m trying. To enjoy animal

[dunmertitty]

btw their scientific name 🏳️‍⚧️

[tayzzyronth-ao3]

the coyotes are trans…

[optimysticals]

That one above looks like they are transing from wolves to foxes or from foxes to wolves.

[vaspider]

Hey did you know that the harder we fuck with coyotes, the more they spread their range and increase their numbers?

They have a HUGE range now as compared to 150 years ago. I, uh, used it as the central through-line on my fiction for an upcoming Curseborne anthology.

They exist in the Fuck You Zone.
