There's nowhere good on the internet for posting a character turnaround, I weep.

Updating my Character Design portfolio atm, so have a little turnaround of my boy Roric! He may end up with an expression and pose sheet, but we'll see how we go.

Some animals I've made refs for!

There are so many more to go but you know how it is.

in this link you can find all the species that have their own TH entry! Not all of them are finished

Making the world full of fun animals that inhabit balanced ecosystems is quite a challenge, but is still fun nonetheless :D

questions? My ask box is open!

Purrtoise in its Natural Habitat

Over a few months in 2023, I worked on a potential trading card game. It's safe to say, it'll never be finished. But I still went back and added a background to one of the critters I drew for it.

Sketches of a so far unnamed creature. These house cat descendants weight over 170 kilograms and are specialized for hunting vertebrate prey of similar size. They hunt by chasing the prey down, restraining it with their front paws and finally killing it with a strong bite.

When their ancestors, the house cats, started exploiting a niche of a small, arboreal predator, one of them had a nanite mutate its forelimb claws in such a way that they were slightly more opposable. This individual passed it down to their offspring, because it happenned to be an advantage for climbing and prey capture. As the time passed and the ecosystem stabilized more, their population began to grow larger as larger prey established their own populations in the rainforests. At this point, their ancestors weighted circa 60 kilograms. Due to their diet shifting to a larger sized prey, they slowly abandoned the tree canopy, but still climbed on their daily basis. One branch of these moderately sized felines would slowly become more and more social, using their opposable thumbs for grabbing rather than restraining. This lineage will be very important later on, as they will be one of the few lineages to develop their own culture. The other “moderately big tree feline” branch stayed relatively solitary, moved into a more open habitat and their role shifted to a fast predator and grew even larger. The shift wasn’t as extreme, as these animals retained long, muscular tails and strong thighs from their pouncing-climbing ancestor, these body parts only changed their purpose and further specialized, resulting in a kangaroo-like body plan and jumping then replaced sprinting and they lost the ability to rectract claws on their hind paws.

When they moved out of the safety of the rainforest, they weren’t the top predators. There was another, very large creature. Its scaly, colour changing body towered over every single carnivore of its time. The colour change was very important for communication, especially red appearing around the face area, which signalized aggression. Our red faced felines back then weren’t quite red faced yet, this adaptation developed as a defense mechanism against these reprilian predators. Its goal was to confuse the squamate for a brief moment, allowing the feline to get a headstart when escaping. These mammals cannot see red, and neither can their prey, so this adaptation had little to no impact on their hunting. Even though that reptilian predator had gone extinct few milions of years ago, the red face on our felines is still their characteristic signature.

Mistwolf time! Planning a redraw of one of my favorite book covers from my Youth so I’m working out some of the animal companion designs (Avalon: Web of Magic enjoyers rise UP!!) (Dreamer and Stormbringer are my fictional emotional support dogs)

Finished design for the Eastern Serix, which I made using the Fundamentals Of Creature Design book. I really recommend picking it up if you want to really challenge yourself on really researching and having several passes at creating fictional creatures and really thinking about how and where it would live, feed, walk/swim/fly, breed, sleep. Really useful stuff to practice and full of great examples and references.

I wanted a tree dwelling hunter, so i tried to combine traits from a Fossa, Emerald Tree Boa, and a created gecko, I also threw in some inspiration from lemurs and frilled lizards.

The Eastern Serix is nocturnal and hunts mice and small birds, it uses its long, bristly tail to suspend its body from branches and releases when it wants to drop onto unsuspecting prey below. It then wraps its tail around them and the bristly fur stands on end and sticks into the prey, holding in place like thousands of tiny needles. It is then able to unhinge its jaw and swallow prey whole. The striped fur along its neck can be extended to form a frill to scare off predators.
