I drew this little SEA TERROR from the depths while I was on vacation by the ocean.
The cliffs there had such strange, hollowed-out rock formations — almost like sponges turned to stone. This landscape was very inspiring to me.

Eternal Bassoon
The eternal bassoon resounds like a war-horn remembered, its raw breath carrying echoes of forgotten battles and the weight of ancient scars.

The ‚Piasa‘ is an enigmatic creature from North American mythology, often described as a water panther or chimera. Some legends see it as a guardian of rivers, others as a man-eating monster. In European tales, it was later given wings, which further obscured its form.

Adlet - Is from Greenlandic Inuit mythology, described as a hybrid creature with the upper body of a human and the lower extremities of a dog or wolf. Legend has it that the Adlet emerged from the relationship between a woman and a dog. They live in the isolation of the Arctic tundra. #creatuanary
