I'd love to at some point do one of those height chart videos for the creatures of Flowerpunk, starting with the tiniest to the most enormous.

So far I think the cloverkin and mosshogs are the smallest species while the moonstalker and the auroraphrax are the largest.

#CreatureDesign
A drawing of a bat-like creature with butterfly-like wings. Its body is off-white and its ears and wings are yellow with black, orange and off-white markings. It has large eyes, a pointed snout and a tail that resembles moth antenna. A few drawings of a creature known as a whistling unicorn. They are small unicorns with a flat tail and a very bizarre, complex horn. Pose 1 - Standing still. Pose 2 - Resting. Pose 3 - Swimming and using the horn as a snorkel. Pose 4 - Running. A drawing of an extremely large salamander-like monster. This is called a slandermander. It has three sections of its body, an upper chest area with multiple arms and finger-like protrusions emerging from its back, a lower stomach area carried by multiple deformed legs and a second stomach area with more deformed legs. The creature is black with sickly red and amber markings. Its head has multiple white eyes and hand-like crests protruding from the back of its head. It also has a very long whip-like tail. Top images - Multiple head designs for the auroraphrax with colour alterations, showing horns that closely resemble a pipe organ, a seahorse-like face and a golden third eye. It also has halo-like energy protrusions. The bottom right design is the final design I went with. Bottom image - The auroraphrax has a long, serpentine body, multiple wings and an unusually shaped tail. It strongly resembles a cross between a sea slug and an old testament angel.

A photo of my extravagant rainbow Christmas Tree that not only has rainbow leaves, but rainbow baubles, rainbow tinsel, rainbow dinosaur and animal decorations and rainbow lights. Also yes that is a rainbow fish wall ornament and rainbow table cloth next to it.

Quick doodle of a very little guy.

It is a mosshog. Typically a single mosshog is between 2.5-3 inches long and they like to clump together in large groups 💚

#Flowerpunk #Art
A drawing of a creature known as a mosshog. They are very similar to hedgehogs except their faces are more pig-like and they are far smaller. Instead of spikes, they have moss growing on their backs.

What's that ominous shadow stalking through the fog on the moors? Why, it's the moorscrag!

Named for its preference for hunting on the moors at dusk & dawn, especially during foggy days, the moorscrag's weapon of choice are those gangly talons that can strangle its prey to death.

#Flowerpunk #Art
A drawing of a creature known as a moorscrag. On the left is the full-sized adult creature that resembles an eldritch stork. It is tall, covered in matted brown-grey feathers and has bald patches down its front. Hanging from the front are six backwards-facing taloned limbs. Its head is long and narrow with no eyes and a striking red bump at the base of the beak. The beak itself is covered in rows of thin teeth. At its feet is the comparatively smaller chick. It has the same limbs as the adult only much smaller and the fur is soft and purple-ish. On the right of the image are drawings of the adult and chick moorscrag with their mouths open, exposing the strange patterns on the interior of the beak that resemble sets of white eyes with red sclera.

✨🌸 Today is a great day to find some magical creatures! 🌸✨

#Flowerpunk #Art #OCArt
A short, four panel comic of Kimi exploring a forest with magical creatures in it. Panel 1 - It is a sunny day and the forest is green and lush. Kimi is waving to the sun that is peeping through the treetops and shouting "Hello sun!" He is wearing a pink backpack with some flower decorations on it and a small bat charm. Panel 2 - Kimi is sitting by a peaceful stream in the fog. There are a number of red-and-blue ibis-like bird creatures with strange proboscis mouths that resemble the mouth of a butterfly. These are known as swirlybirds, and a number of them are frolicking in the stream, sitting on the rocks and some baby swirlybirds are playing near Kimi. Kimi is saying "Hello swirlybirds!" Panel 3 - Kimi is hopping along the rocks near a misty lake. The scene is generally grey and gloomy with some rain starting to fall. From the lake, a huge, swan-like monster emerges to inspect Kimi, and Kimi responds by waving and shouting "Hello, sabre-toothed swan!" Panel 4 - It is evening and the forest is filled with pink and purple hues. In the undergrowth on some mossy tree roots, some small, white amphibian creatures (known as crying stars due to their star-shaped sensory organs) have gathered. Kimi crouches down and says to them "Aw, look at you guys! You're so cute and squeaky!"

Hi hi, I'm back from hiatus!

I'm still struggling a bit health-wise but I really need to get back on track with work again, so just to let everyone know that commissions are open!

A drawing of Bruno and his daughter Molly relaxing outdoors. Bruno is sitting on a wooden crate and looking at a dandelion flower with a gentle smile. Beside him is a metal watering can, some plant pots, a rusty bucket and several rotting apples that have been left outside to feed the various bugs. Molly is lying in the grass and inspecting the single exposed patch of earth that happens to have a worm emerging from it. A drawing of two serpentine dragons affectionately touching noses. One is white with rainbow feathers and fur (Horatio), the other black with rainbow feathers and fur (Elijah). They are in a forest. A drawing of a creature known as a “Moonstalker.” This is a creature from the “Flowerpunk” webcomic. The drawing takes place at night and the canvas is dominated by a navy blue colour scheme. In the foreground are some cliffs and tress. Off in the distance is a grassy plain with a river running through it. Even further into the distance, the moonstalker strides across the landscape, its tail stretching off far into the distance. The moon-shaped structure on its back climbs high into the sky, lit up by the light of the moon. There is a small mountain range along the horizon and some nimbus clouds billow up into a starry sky. A drawing of an earth colossus crossing the Scottish coast. The colossus has six legs and somewhat resembles a massive bull-like ungulate. It is made from earthy materials and has forests and plains growing on its back. There is a strong fossil motif running throughout its design, including its lower legs which resemble giant shells. The creature also has huge, stony antlers protruding from its head, though its face is a cross between bull and human. It also has several manmade structures on its back, including giant glass domes with trees inside, some modern wooden and stone huts and the ruins of an abbey on the back end. It is also has several airborne wind turbines tethered to it. In the foreground of the image are two climate scientists on the clifftop observing the creature. They have set up some equipment for measuring meteorological conditions.

BEHOLD MY VERY NORMAL SWAN!
A drawing of a Sabre-Toothed Swan. This is a monster that strongly resembles a swan except the beak section makes up the entire lower jaw of the creature and the mouth is filled with rows of sharp teeth, including two giant fangs at the front of the mouth. Even the tongue has teeth on it.

Here's one potential ideas I had that could be jumping off points (feel free to steal them).
A small group of rebellious vampires with a shared goal of fixing a world that is falling apart have created a found family from vampires of different eras, giving them a chance to share Centuries worth of knowledge. Even if they are beings of darkness that may never be able to step into the sun again, they seek a world where others can enjoy the sun instead of being scorched by it as they are. Despite their utopian goals, they must still grapple with their dark nature and the prejudice of a society that doesn't understand their condition. A cosmic entity has started to distort the world into an eldritch hellscape inhabited by warped creatures and abstract beings. However, pockets of humanity aren't just surviving, but thriving. They have discovered that logic itself is a literal power against this entity and through extensive knowledge-seeking, they are restoring the balance of the world and bringing sense back to an earth that has fallen to chaos. (Annihilation was a big inspiration for this idea).

Also Flowerpunk's bestiary is my excuse to go nucking futs with the weirdest possible creature designs I can come up with.
A drawing of a brain bird – a small, owl-like magical creature. This bird has extremely large, hypnotic eyes with blue and pink irises and pupils that look like the night sky. The bird’s feathers are white with black, swirling markings and the bird’s head is tilted to one side. A drawing of a type of flying squid known as a dumbo squid. It is orange with pink "wings" and covered in glowing blue markings. It is flying through a blue sky.

In Flowerpunk's case, it's gotta be the "greenhouse airships" which can levitate due to the magical levitating plants used to power their flight.
Two massive airships pass through the evening clouds. They are very lavish in their designs, covered in gold and bronze decorations, and the "balloon" part of their design is a set of greenhouses filled with magical plants that levitate the ships. There is magical fumes trailing from their exhaust pipes.

Here are some of my most recent creature designs from Flowerpunk:
A drawing of a type of flying squid known as a dumbo squid. It is orange with pink "wings" and covered in glowing blue markings. It is flying through a blue sky. Several images of a greentrail's head. Its face is vaguely dragon-like with chameleon-like eyes, molerat-like teeth and a hard, bony skull inspired by a tortoise shell. It has a mess of white hair and a trailing beard split into three strands. Its skin is mostly a pale green with a pinkish underbelly and greys and pinks for the scales around the eyes. Its tongue is similar to a snake's. A drawing of a creature known as a hobbler troll. They are short, stocky creatures that strongly resemble a cross between a pug, some rotting wood covered in moss and a frog. They have some grass growing off their body and an extremely matted hairy belly. A creature known as a loodwouse. They are bipedal with a stocky build, stumpy hippo-like feet, a long neck and a wide head with long ears. Their skin is grey and parts of them are covered in chitin plates. They also have a set of antennae.

A drawing of eight tiny little clover people known as "cloverkin" crossing over a mossy log. One is sitting on a broken branch stump, one is waving at us, one is showing a four-leafed member a tiny leaf they found while the four-leafed cloverkin holds a tiny staff and looks impressed. There is a parent and child cloverkin skipping along the branch behind them and at the far end of the log, one cloverkin is giving another a piggyback. In the background there is a forest and a river. A drawing of a creature known as a “Moonstalker.” This is a creature from the “Flowerpunk” webcomic. The drawing takes place at night and the canvas is dominated by a navy blue colour scheme. In the foreground are some cliffs and tress.

A drawing of 7 characters who are part of "the lovely anarchists" in the Flowerpunk webcomic. From left to right, Bruno, Cassie, Molly, Kimi, Ludwig, Earwig and Maggie. Maggie is at the front of the group clapping her hands and singing. Ludwig is playing a pride-themed electric lute while Earwig follows looking excited. Kimi is vibing to the music behind Ludwig, Molly is marching energetically and Cassie is stopping her hat from blowing off. At the back of the group, Bruno is doing a proud march/jig along to the music. A drawing of an earth colossus crossing the Scottish coast.

Cloverkin are known for their extremely close relationships and they are the only species of little folk who never fight each other. Every individual they come across is considered part of their family.

When hiding from danger, cloverkin will clump together to appear as one plant.
A drawing of four cloverkin. They are tiny, bipedal beings that strongly resemble sapient clover plants. All of them have three leaves on their heads except the middle one which has four and is holding a tiny staff.

I've done some updated art for the loodwouse from the #Flowerpunk universe. These magical beings play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem of the undergrowth and they also like to sleep curled up in a ball buried under the warm soil.
