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.

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

With a BzzzQwwmmZhhhnnHaaarrrh began the overture and the tri-folded sonic heart trembled as his dactylozooid suction tubes shook the inner regions of the mantle cavity. No one before or after him could suck the hemolymph so harmoniously through the ventricles of the transdimensional Qn'Tou in ...

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

'Chaneques' are small nature spirits from Mexican mythology that guard sacred places such as forests, rivers and mountains. They are often described as childlike or small in stature and are known to play tricks on people or lead them astray.
