A Frost Snail, cousin of the Flail Snail. Spot illo for my D&D-related blog, and you can read about this monster here.

I should point out (as people have asked) that the bloke getting a spike through his head is a dwarf. To me, D&D dwarves are just smaller, hirsute versions of humans. Or badgers in human form. I don't subscribe to the Scot-ish, pot-bellied Jackson version of them.

Another little nudibranch dragon friend! Based on an alabaster nudibranch.

Invertober days 17-21: European glowworm (well, a dragon based on it), Anna’s magnificent sea slug, yellow tube sponge, three-banded lady beetle, and strawberry squid!

[Image description: Five digital drawings.

Image 1: A wingless dragon based on the European glowworm. Most of its body is a pale peachy colour, except for the blunt-tipped horns, claws, and armour scales going down its back which are all dark brown. Its eyes are a bright yellow-green, as are the four-pointed stars on the tip of its thick tail and horns. Text below: Arthropoda • Insecta • Coleoptera • Lampyridae • Lampyris noctiluca

Image 2: An Anna’s magnificent sea slug, a sea slug with a blue and black body surrounded by a yellow and white “fringe”. Its antennae and cerata are orange. Text below: Mollusca • Gastropoda • Nudibranchia • Chromodorididae • Chromodoris annae

Image 3: A yellow tube sponge. It looks exactly as its name would suggest. Text below: Porifera • Demospongiae • Verongiida • Aplysinidae • Aplysina fistularis

Image 4: A three-banded lady beetle, a ladybug with five rectangular bands instead of spots, one going across the middle and two pairs at the sides. Text below: Arthropoda • Insecta • Coleoptera • Coccinellidae • Coccinella trifasciata

Image 5: A strawberry squid. It is red with bright green eyes of different sizes, the left being significantly larger than the right. Text below: Mollusca • Cephalopoda • Oegopsida • Histioteuthidae • Histioteuthis heteropsis

End ID.]

Day 14: Blue Glaucus, or more commonly known as the Blue Sea Dragon or Blue Angel

This is a very cool sea slug that eats Man o'wars. Pretty metal for a dragon if you ask me

Uh oh, I'm designing a new sophont species again.

These ones fly (their wings are the flaps on their back in the third image)

They're still gonna change a lot as these are my first solid sketches of them.

Let me know your suggestions for names! I've just been calling them "gastropod dragons" so far.

Day 9: Cream

Today was the day of playing fast and loose with the themes, but at least now I'm all caught up! This guy took 3 pieces of paper before I got it just right, that's the process sometimes.

IT'S A FUCKIGN SNAAAAIIIILLL

Made in Blender 4.1; modelled, sculpted, rigged, etc. by me (with help from tutorials & the blender community discord); hopefully 3d printed as a D&D mini soon.
