Creature Concepts: Rage and Sorrow the Mechanical Harpies

2 robotic harpies on a grey background. They have long necks with a single rotating joint in the middle, and metallic masks that look like women's faces form their heads. The jaw of these masks is open, and a flamethrower protrudes from Rage's mouth, while a sonic pulse weapon sits in Sorrow's.

Bird-like wings made of metal feathers sprout from their backs, and a shawl-like fabric covering that flaps in the wind is fastened to both pairs of wings.

Both harpies sport a long, snake-like tail. Sorrow's is tipped with a blade, and Rage's ends in a tube that belches smoke.

Creature Concept: Northern Dragon

A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull.

The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears.

Creature Concept: Divine Dragonborn Centauromorph

A draconic taur-like creature holds a staff in front of it using two of its four arms. Of the remaining arms, one is placed on its hip in a fist, and the other cups a floating ball of fire magic.

Deer-like horns grow from the back of its head, which cup a metal plate burning with incense. It wears metal jewelry behind its ears and across its horns, as well as a necklace and belt. Long fangs stick out of its mouth over its lips.

The body below the waist is that of a wyvern. The thumb fingers on the wings are placed with their knuckles to the ground for balance, and the creature is sitting with its forked tail curled around its body. Both tips of the tails end in triangular barbs.

Creature Concept: Golden Sea Serpent

Digital art of a yellow, dragon-like snake creature design. It has a row of jagged, fin-like spines running down its back. Similar fins form a crest-like frill on the back of its snake-like head. I similar frill, though smaller, juts downward from the back of its top jaw.

A pale bony beak with a crest on top and underneath covers the front of its face and top of its head. Near the base of the mouth, the beak forms a long tusk that sticks forwards. The edges of the mouth have jagged razor formations of bone that function as teeth, and the beast's tongue is forked.

Its scales are a pale shiny yellow, and its eyes are bright blue.

Creature Concept: The Executrix (Gorgon-Lamia Gynoid)

A thin, robotic woman with a giant khopesh in one hand and a smoking rocket launcher in the other slithers in front of a black background on her snake-like lower body of metal plates. Her mouth is open in a scream, and black oil is sloshing out of it while neon magenta flames streak from her eyes, which are weeping tears of similar oil.

Her entire head is medusa-like, and her scalp is ringed by mechanical snakes whose heads all point in the direction her khopesh is raised. Their mouths are opened to reveal firing gun barrels mounted in their throats.

Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon)

A black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest faces left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light.

Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck.

3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin.

Illustration: Stormfront (Sci-fi Art)

Illustration of a pale orange stone desert, with mountains in the background. Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes.

Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm.
