🐉 Spine Wyrm 🐉

What if Spinosaurus evolved into a wyrm-like creature?

#Dragon #DragonArt #DragonDesign #CreatureDesign
Creature Concept: Spine Wyrm A speculative evolution-inspired dragon creature. It has a spinosaurus-shaped head (for catching fish), a spinosaurus sail, and pebbly theropod scales. Rows of red, bulging veins run down its green neck and tail, and brighter red markings adorn its wings and tail tip. It upholds its body using its wings, which are tipped with 3-fingered hands. Its back feet are vestigial, flipper-like appendages that point backwards off its body. Its long neck is arched, drooping downwards in the middle, but curving up to support the head on the very end.

Three female kalavinka, half human-half bird spirits from Buddhist folklore, are flying through the air while playing music. One is singing, one is playing percussion, one is playing electric guitar. Digital painting. The Roc is a massive eagle from middle eastern legend. They were said to be large enough to hunt elephants which is what this illustration is depicting: a solitary roc swoops down upon a stampeding elephant herd. The enormous talons of the bird are reaching for elephant at the head of the herd. Rat King. Ten thousand scurrying rats fill the robe, hold the scepter, lift the sword, wear the crown. Digital painting. Quicksand Elemental rises from the murky swamp, skeletons of drowned victims are embedded in its body of slimy mud and tangled roots. It looks at you with glowing red eyes. Digital painting.

I don't think I ever posted my Huk refsheet redraw. It's not coloured, because they come in MANY patterns and 'morphs' just like goats and sheep. But they are very well loved by the Asah people as mounts and travelling buddies and are featured often in art motifs and carving

#art #creaturedesign
HUK (refsheet) Diet: Omnivore (rodents/plants) Lifespan: 18-20 cycles Height: 4.5-5.5ft at withers Weight: up to 500lb Temperament: Friendly/Loyal Role: Light mount, fiber yield Huk horns can grow up to 2 feet long, but are filed and shaped to be safer for riders. Fancy Huk beard braiding is an art! The hair of the male’s crest is stiffened and is rarely trimmed Healthy Huk paws are oiled and well cared for to keep them from cracking and causing pain. Huks are slim and swift, but cannot carry larger riders for long distances. They have been bred to be sturdier than wild varieties, but remain light mounts. These creatures vocalize differently depending on age. Young fawns chirp and trill, while older animals make a variety of bugles, warbling cries and even purrs and chitters. They’re quite talkative and will not hesitate to tell you if they’re hungry, or if danger is about. Their main body fur is short and smooth, with much longer tufts at the joints. However, the males grow extensive beards, crests and a thick chest ruff that is trimmed during certain times of the cycle, to be used for weaving or spinning. This hair is very silky when well cared for and creates comfortable clothing that grows softer with every wash. After passing, their tanned leather is thin and flexible. Huks are personable creatures who have been domesticated and bred for many centuries now, by the Asah. They serve mainly as swift mounts to cross the ragged wastes and ruins, where the slight webbing between their pawpads gives them both purchase on the sand, and the dexerity to grab onto rougher terrain. Female Huks breed at the end of the dry season, gestate for a full cycle and a half, to give birth to 1-2 fawn in the middle of the storm season, when the young have the best chances. Along with the beards, Huk tails are often braided and decorated with beads and patterned ribbon for festivals or events. The designs vary on the event, and the region.

A lesson in realizing that I need to learn when to let a project go and move on to newer horizons. The initial illustration was made several years ago. I wanted to provide more information about my lizard, though now I changed the tongue and don't want to edit the illustration 🤣

It's time again for the reminder that I have a Patreon! Most of my art does not get posted publicly, but if you sign up (just 6 CAD per month!) you can see all of it! I also make monthly illustrations for my supporters - all the pieces you see here were done for my Patrons!

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me) A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas. This artwork was created for Chips fissionchips.bsky.social‬ and features the OCs Cadence (who belongs to me) and Yuaha (who belongs to Chips). Cadence and Yuaha are fennkind, a closed species created by Nise Loftsteinn Two winged women are standing holding sparklers as the warm glow of fireworks lights up the sky behind them. The woman in the back has calico cat markings and is holding tri-coloured dango in one hand. She has her long hair styled in a side ponytail and it is decorated with hair pins and a glass wind chime. The woman in the foreground is dressed in high contrast clothing with a high collar and armored cuffs on her arms. She has tiger-like markings on her face and feathered ears. Her long dark hair is shaved on the side. This artwork is for malleyricon.bsky.social and features his OC Osore the dragon. A ghostly dragon serpentines its pale body through the walls of an abandoned church. It’s mane billows like spectral smoke, and it’s face is clad in a metal mask. In the background there is a stained glass window depicting a sword, and red wisps pour in through the broken panes, revealing a red sky outside. This OC belongs to SpiritSai and is the Demigod of Light in SpiritSai’s worldbuilding project. A drawing of a horse-like creature in an elegant floating pose. The creature has a long tail covered in gilded scales and tipped with silken hair. Her wings are yellow and blue with large scales on it’s back. Her legs are plated in the same gilded scales and end in golden cloven hooves with gold dewclaws. Her horn is curved like a scythe, and her dragon-like whiskers zigzag into the sky above her. She is surrounded by a divine glow as shooting stars cascade in the background.
