This is adorable somehow. Why am I obsessed with these little moments?
a) Science boy johnny
b) something about the way paul responds at first…
Eater of Anomalies!!
An old OC concept I had years ago but never got around to drawing until now!! She's an ambiguously-defined arthropod mimicking much of the morphology and behaviour of a mantis, but isn't even an insect; her raptorial forelimbs are in fact two pairs of partially fused limbs. She eats anomalous entities of some eldritch variety oh wow!!!
(She may or may not appear much later down the line in my webcomic, oh wow!!!! As a bugkin also wish I had her form so badly ahh!!)
“There’s beings that seem to be drawn to dying Tower Beasts…?”
(Felt like painting something moody with one of my foxes, yayyy)
I vividly dreamt the other night that I drew this exact fox critter and image, now it is real?? I guess
Pepper. They lay
(The meat sprites are from Digimon World :3)
This one of my favourite monster designs that I've seen in a while, omg <333333
Made of carcinogens and love
Cat and Dog meet a pair of strange winged beings, seemingly also fox-like in form and yet somehow familiar in a way that is vague and beyond description…
(Context for this one: the characters on the right, named Spii-Ba and Spii-Bu, are the original basal forms of Cat and Dog as characters; I first starting drawing them when I was 11, and as Cat and Dog are their modern forms, so to speak! They were from a cheesy Pokemon/Digimon knock-off comic I liked drawing back then. Anyway drawing this was cathartic and fun, ngl)
God Animal-Episode 1: Our Friend Rebirth Horse (1st year anniversary)
A year ago today, I finished the first episode of my webcomic, titled God Animal.
It is a xenofiction-adjacent story about a pair of close fox friends, named Cat and Dog, attempting to survive the hostile world left behind after a cataclysm, from which a mysterious and destructive force is devouring all that remains. When it seems that all hope of survival is lost, the pair of foxes meet a strange deity-like being, who may hold the key to their survival…
You can read it here (do heed the content warnings before proceeding). Episode 2 has been in the works for a bit, a lot happened to myself and those close to me this year, so it will be done when it is done.
Regardless, I feel happy to have completed the first episode and commemorate the first anniversary of Episode 1. :3
Something appeared in that house and started talking, they were powerful but felt oddly insincere.
(Featuring Act, my sad border collie dog character who will debut in the next episode of my webcomic :3)
In the Autumn we become anew
ULTIMATE POOP HELL
The OG Digimon World is a big piece of comfort media to me <3
Cat, she leapeth (with her friend Primitive Horse looking more annelid-like and less cephalochordate than usual?????)
"Sometimes, there's something living inside these strange boxes at night..."
A day you see a beetle in flight is a most splendid day!!
Self-portait piece of my sona, because I haven't properly drawn them for a sizeable minute :3
"That old human box wasn't here yesterday. They are moving on their own and I keep thinking something is moving inside them..."
The Dendrite Beast is not supposed to be able to experience any form of innate awareness of anything but the matter moving around. Why are they standing still, then? Did the apocalypse lead them closer to a sense of self, only to be locked in stasis with vague fragments that still do not represent thought reverberating inside their shell? That's not for anyone else to know.
It's a false mutualism
(Uploading some older art here I guess, this one is from 2022!!)
Demons and ghosts
id honestly never considered monster hybrids at all but after seeing this all i can think of is the possibilities holy shit!!
werebat and vampwolf are my personal favourites because bat/wolf hybrids are objectively horrifying and amazing and holy shit this is so creative i love it sm
Werewolf/Vampire Hybrids based on this one ask I got! Please click through each panel for details, and let me know which is your favorite! :D
(ID and bonus OC under the Read More!)
There is a column of four panels. Each panel has a digital drawing of a werewolf/vampire hybrid, along with blocks of text describing the creature.
First Panel: A crouching purpley-grey werewolf with batlike features is in the right corner. Top left, there's a 3/4ths view of a man with tan skin, dark brown hair, small wolf ears, and grey-brown stubble. Near the bottom-middle of the page is a white and tan werewolf with batlike features. The text reads:
BATWOLF
Offspring of Werewolf mother and Vampire father, or when a Werewolf mother is bitten by Vampire during pregnancy. Though smaller than most werewolves, its heightened senses and intelligence make just as dangerous. “Human” form resembles a somewhat furry Vampire, or quasi-shifted Lycan. White Vampire Bat color variation, know as the “Rouge the Bat” pelt (this text is next to the white werebat). Reduced weakness to silver and wolfsbane. Astute and lethal ambush predators Able to inject vampiric venom.
Second Panel: A black, angular werewolf on four legs, with one of its clawed hands pointing up. It's maw and claws are dripping with dark red blood. It has two bite marks on its neck. Its eyes have beady dots of red, and its fangs are yellow. To the right of the page are two smaller busts of two canine creatures. The first is a profile of the same type of werewolf, black with red eyes. The second is a hellhound with a glowing red chest and a fiery mane, curved ears and fully red eyes. Underneath the busts are three circular swatches (left to right: white, black, and dark rusty red). Text reads:
VAMPWOLF
Result of Werewolf bitten by Vampire. Given that the Werewolf survives, it will develop a frenzied craving for fresh blood and will no longer consume meat of prey. Extremely dangerous during the Full Moon. Features angle after infection sets in. Vampire bite marks do not heal. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH HELLHOUNDS. Only three color variations. Must sleep in a Werewolf-sized coffin in case of transformation during Slumber.
Third Panel: A huge tan werebat. The underside of its wings are dark brown. It has a pointed pink noise. There is a closeup of its open mouth and vampire bat fangs. There are also two different posed wings drawn on the left side of the panel. They are drawn small as a diagram example of how a wing can look turned in our stretched out. There is also a tiny doodle of a cartoon werebat face with X's over its eyes. Text reads:
WEREBAT
Result of Vampire bitten by Werewolf; if the Vampire survives, it will transform into a Werebat the next Blood Moon. Vampires who do not reverse the curse by the Blood Moon will transform into a Werebat every following Full Moon. Victims often beheaded for access to more blood. As the vampire ages, werebat form balds. Does not howl, but shrieks and clicks to echolocate. Relies on sensitive hearing to hunt.
Fourth Panel: This is split between two types of monster. To the left, a cream-colored furred vampire with reddish brown hair and yellow eyes. He is tall and thin, with arms too long to be humanoid, wearing blue fannel, skinny black jeans, and a purple coffee mug. He wears silver bands around his wrists, and he also has fangs and long pointy ears. His feet are paws. A small neck-up bust of his werewolf form is to his left. The werewolf has cream and brown fur, yellow eyes, and long vampire fangs. Text reads:
FURRED VAMPIRE
Offspring of Vampire father and Batwolf mother. Werewolf form retains Vampire intelligence and sensibilities. Food substitutes can work to abate craving for fresh blood. Often sleeps in coffins because "It's just comfier". No weakness to silver. Not undead, but often anemic. Since a werewolf curse is not lifted across generations, a Furred Vampire still transforms under a Full Moon, but has a reduced appetite and a more anthropomorphic appearance.

To the left, a lanky cool grey werewolf with pitch black eyes, a flared purple-black nose, and vampiric fangs. Her human form is pictured with two headshots, one with a beanie and mask on, another with a grey shirt. Her human form has tan skin, dark eyes, and vampire fangs and ears. Text reads:
WEREPIRE
Offspring of Werebat and Werewolf. Werewolf form closely resembles a regular werewolf, with exception to facial features. Completely black eyes, reduced night vision. Flared nostrils. Fang placement to the front of top jaw. Human form easily disguised. No necessity or craving for fresh human blood. Sometimes prone to dormant garlic allergy.
Fifth panel, under the cut: A cool grey anthro wolf with a black and cool blue vampire cape stands looking profile. He has a white neck collar with a moonstone in the center. Text reads:
IAGO
Extremely polite Werevamp* (except during Full Moons, when he goes apeshit)
Loves Shakespeare
Prefers anthro form.
Moonstone allows him to shift at-will
Snooty bitch <3
*A werevamp is the general term for any werewolf/vampire hybrid. Sometimes, “werevamp” refers to a vampwolf that remains in anthro wolf form between Full Moons to abate the bloodlust of vampirism.
"Nobody knows about this is a hidden family."
She cherished her secret cousin.
When I was younger I’ve always wanted to be a marine biologist so that I can study the fascinating creatures of our waters, but watching River Monsters is a close second.
