Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.
#creature design#bug art#my art#i've been trying to CAPTURE WHAT I WANT in multiple sketchbook pages#i liked how these turned out#there may be an alternate version with the mandibles ... but i figured most people wouldn't find it charming like i would haha#it was interesting trying to imagine how those grasshopper like legs could be used in a cat like walking pattern#i love black cats and i love black crickets....#bugs#insect#it's a fictional bug of course but i'm tagging it just in case

quick thoughts on a design for dr who's sutekh, the mother and father and other of all the gods. they have the appearance of a desiccated set animal, which isn't so much the face they were born with, but moreso their favorite coat. I'm very partial to how weird and horrible he looks when he first shows up, more of that
#i like how sarah jane goes very still as soon as she sees it. thats also how i would respond to that.#im not set on this design/the eye placement/tail here lol#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#edit: /not/ all the strange strange creatures. i dont think it fits

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:
"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"
#now. how on earth do i begin to tag this. um.#link#loz#totk#totk spoilers#light dragon#dragon link#loz au#totk roleswap au#there . i'll add more if they come to me LOL#um i can talk about some of my insps i guess?? might make another post too#so mostly i just dont really like turning him into 'light dragon but male' and giving him slightly darker colours or something like that#this also obviously isnt exactly like the botw dragons either though and its a bit more of a mix of other creature concepts i enjoy#since everyone agrees he'd have a farosh horn i wanted to make him a kirin/unicorn :) which is why his tail looks like that#aside from the obvious eastern dragon insps and what ive picked and chosen from the botw dragons#and obviously this looks a lot like wolf link. thats on purpose#i wanted to give him some fierce deity design refs too but because this is so dark/earthy they didnt look very fitting#but honestly you could do a whole fierce deity dragon design on its own i think#okay lots of tags but IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. okay. let me have this.#my art#dragon link au

I like to think breaking the canary curse via dying in the void had some effects on Lizzie
#ldshadowlady#wild life smp#secret life smp#technically since she broke the curse there#trafficblr#smth smth breaking the curse means taking it upon yourself- smth smth the miners need a bird so they'll catch another one#I've been wanting to draw pink canary Lizzie ever since she broke the curse and the urge to combine void and shadow creature made me go ins#I wanted to draw BAM or as i would have caption them: Team Canary. But I had too many thoughts on Lizzie design so its just her#Can you tell I am very normal about Lizzie shadowlady? yes i draw her a lot and made her creature but thats normal behavior trust me trust#it was either canary seablings or aquatic seablings w/ whale Lizzie but idk how to work in whale so bird she is#my art#the whole breaking the curse means becoming the curse is very beast!wirt to me but its october so its fitting ig.

Oh my god, it’s Cody with a chair!
Woo! Fan comic of @frostbitebakery ‘s Zombi-Wan fanfic: “Who Ordered the Resurrection Special” 💫💫💫 It’s a fun read, highly recommend.
#chiligerart#comic#frostbitebakery#commander cody#commander wolffe#obi wan kenobi#codywan#star wars#fanfic fanart#now how can anyone blame cody for trying to defend the handsome zombie? who i ask#jango at cody’s funeral; leaning close to the casket: see this is what happens when you want to date people#had this on the back burner for a few months but finally got around to it!#kinda wish I did better on the monster but creature design is not my forte

Hello I am back with more Viva Piñata doodles! Turns out if you think enough about fluffy piñatas you can force your way through art block (at least for a while)
The typical Viva Piñata experience, I love you Pretztail but why are you like this I drew so many Pretztail as a "do over" of my first Viva Piñata drawing from 2018
that's when it all started
#For anyone not in the know a Pieena can be made from a Pretztail that has been gifted a bone#after that you can get it at the desert#also additional piñata lore#a Pretztail CAN AND WILL haunt your garden if you have a bunnycomb in it#they won't stop coming#they won't stop attacking them#the only way to end it is getting the master romancer achievement for pretztail and then banning them from appearing#despite this I still love those little dudes#even if they are rascals#me talking about Viva piñata designs : this is the topest tier of creature design#me actually drawing the designs : oh god what does that pattern look like from this side#this is for all the people how still somehow reblog my previous piñata drawings and comment about how they miss the games#I do too#so here I am with doodles#viva piñata#viva pinata#vp#viva pinata tip#pretztail#bunnycomb#pieena#art#cinnamon's doodles

one thing about ik is that she will always reach out
#obey me#art#i had the idea for this and managed to bulldoze through drawing it all without losing motivation halfway through#but Do Not expect me to post art this frequently in future#idk how to do panels so if the middle bit with the text might be laid out weird#i added the stars and feathers and stuff because there was a bunch of empty space around the boxes#obey me satan#jtta ik#(btw the crumbling symbol next to the exploding feather is the wrath symbol from in-game)#(with the pride symbol attached upside down at the bottom)#(not so much symbolism as it is just me whacking you over the head with the point but it looks cool)#i had a lot of fun doing satan's more monstrous design so i might try my hand at some of the other demons later?#i do have some ideas for levi (deep sea creatures are just really fun)#also happy nightbringer release day!! it showed up on my homescreen like half an hour ago and i was like “wait what”#for some reason i thought it wasn't releasing til next week??#the new genshin patch is today as well so looks like i'll have plenty to do with the rest of my free time for the easter hols#(i promise i'm also working on the next chapter of jtta but i am so stuck on how to get lucifer actually Talking)#anyway. here's a gold star for making it through all my rambling in the tags for anyone who did so: ⭐

was gonna do a full post with more designs, but it's already taking me way too long to post these, so whatever. here's some of my uu designs. <3 they're very basic, and i will do a more detailed sheet with different arcs (?) in mind, but it will take me way too long, i fear. so you can have those for now. ^_^ they're all from like... a month ago? maybe more.
#☆ my art .#unstable universe#i don't have many like notes to list about my designs because i can't put my thoughts to words very well#plus i wrote out some initial ones that i had so yeah#still figuring out what to do with dean#i like the thought of him jsut being a guy.#like everyone is some type of creature or a hybrid#and dean is just... a guy.#i think it's silly#i'm gonna do other relevant characters like ken wato minute luigi etc too#i just cant promise when or how soon#might add more things when im more coherent#i have a slight fever rn uhh.#parrotx2#wifies#deanthebean9#wemmbu#eggchan#princezam#spokeishere#mapicc#planetlord#i think thats all of them

#chikorita#bald#and WELCOME TO GEN 2!! feels like we only just started with the new blog theme and yet here we are in gen 2 already#i remember back when it was still front-facing pokémon‚ it felt like it took FOREVER to get through a generation. but here we are#blitzing through gen 1. maybe it's just because i find a majority of gen 1 pokémon designs to be boring and uninteresting#so it flew by like that. but now we're starting to get into the guys i like#and this thing. well. this pokémon is divisive‚ to say the least#i feel like it's a love-it-or-hate-it type design#folks either hate the bean-shaped head and how it has No snout and its face is all flat#or they love it and think it's adorable#i think it's cute. tbh. i used to not like it#but it's kind of a silly creature and i like that about it#i've come around to it in recent years. especially since i think bayleef and meganium have much nicer designs

ford and stan but as a two-headed creature
I was like 'man I don't feel like drawing that, I'll just do a quick photo edit/trace and be done with it'. This took me more than an hour.
I used these images to make that:
#not very good imagination so I said 'hey. I'll do the shape-shifting creature but from that one au instead'#nightmare stuff here. I regret everything#I'd do it with their 'old' designs but like. I couldn't figure out how#gravity falls#gravity falls au#relativity falls#stanley pines#stan pines#stanford pines#ford pines#young ford pines#young stan pines#digital art#because yes I traced everything instead of actually using the base as is. Also I drew one hand there#photo edit#art#fanart#I guess#ask#anonymous#be careful what you ask for from me because I can and I will make it cringe and/or weird#no one actually asked for this

It's dark Arthur, pull out your lighter.
(practically I know john is most easily portrayed as a normal hooded guy with a mask but deep down my heart of hearts still belongs to mergo's wet nurse)
#can you tell i think mergo's wet nurse had the coolest design in bloodborne?#descriptions and author's notes in the image captions#i feel like that's the funniest way to stick those in there tbh lol#flashing image#hopefully not too flashing but idk how gifs get crunched on tumblr#malevolent#malevolent podcast#arthur lester#john doe#mp#my art#doodles#animation#kinda#lots of opacity filters that are suuuper disorganized lol#at some point i'm just gonna do a character sheet for john/KiY but it will actually just be a dozen designs i think are cool#but then will not draw in a practical setting because they're too wonky#i do think the masked guy design is quite charming and is objectively the right way to draw him interacting with anything#i just think fucked up creatures are cool#man i still love drawing profiles#idk why but they're soo much easier than drawing faces straight on#they're just Nice
