Some anatomy/pose practice with my favorite alien goo lady, Verdi, and some help from the pose archives.

Verdigris here is part of a closed species project called the #Viatores by tinycactusart 💚
a green/cyan and varying shades of grey creature wearing draping wraps as clothes adjust writhing tentacle hair and looks at the viewer with draconic/antelope-like features. She has a long, forked tail and clawed hands/feet.

I did this recently too and I wish you luck. We foster failed.
An extremely emaciated grey kitten faces away from the camera. You can see almost all of his bones under his patchy fur. A tricolored dog is in the background. The same kitten is sitting in the floor in a similar position, now filled out and healthy. His ear is cocked back towards the photographer

I got the other character as well :3
A dragon with an extremely long, flowing tail looks at the viewer. Its front half is dark and starry like a night sky with a pink hued chest. It has elk-like antlers colored like a blue Aurora. It's back half us mostly a shimmering white with hints of the starry hues and pink here and there

Ooooh! I may have a different character to add later for you to choose from, but I recently bought this lady that I'm utterly in love with that would be SO cool in your style
A blue/purple tinted long dragon worming it's way through the sky. It has five eyes, star-like protrusions on its chest and shoulders, and a galaxy billowing out from behind it. The same dragon without the galaxy behind it

I have both tieflings AND monsters! Including tiefling monsters!

Mermaid lovely is still in the naming phase, but the other two images are of my current campaign character, Preacher. They're definitely a good person and not at all working with the DM as the secret final boss of this campaign
A grey skinned eel-like mermaid with a monstrous visage and an anglerfish like maw in their abdomen. Their fins and the bioluminescent lures around the anglerfish head glow in shades of pink and purple. A greyish skinned draconic creature with a white leathery face and long drooping ears looks to the side in a crouch. They have golden claws, horns, and antlers. There are two sets of wings on the dragon, one bat-like and one feathered. Feathers also adorn their tail. There is a golden scar on their chest. A purple tiefling sits in a fine red chair. Their hands are steepled in front of them and they are smiling at the viewer menacingly. Their eyes and antlers are gold and their wings wrap forward as though pulling the viewer in. The character is depicted at the center of a golden spiderweb behind them.

For the new bean, I love her muscles. I'm a sucker for some thick arms. She looks like she can choke slam an aboleth and I am SO HERE for it.

Character designed by @chrimmearts.bsky.social (they have tons of super sick and colorful monster adopts based on birds, fungi. Check their KoFi :D)
A grey creature with colorful glowing pink/purple fins is depicted as though it had paused swimming to look behind it. She has a eel-like face and tail, thick muscled arms and chest, and anglerfish phosphorescent lures near a gaping toothy maw in her abdomen.

For Preacher it's the metallic gold marks/exposed boney bits (antlers, teeth, claws). Love a good gold look. In their devil dragon form I like the double wings and the leathery skull face

Character portrait by @infectedmaiden.bsky.social (amazing to work with), creature Preacher doodle by me
A purple skinned tiefling sits in a fine red chair with hands steepled in front of them. They have golden antlers and eyes and look forward with an aggressive smile at the viewer. Wings sprout from their back and wrap forwards around the golden frame of the image towards the viewer and a golden spiderweb is suspended behind them with the character at the center. A somewhat draconic creature with greyish skin crouches, looking to the side. It has two sets of wings, one leathery like it's body and the other a pearlescent white feathered pair that matches the feathers in their tail. It's boney protrusions and antlers are all gold, as is it's eyes. Closeup of the dragon's face.

Purchased a lovely Creechur from @chrimmearts.bsky.social today! 🦈 (I cry, no anglerfish emoji).

Taking name suggestions!

Go check out the artist's other adopts if you like dope monsters. They have really cool fungus, bird, and elemental monster lines!

A grey humanoid sea creature with pink/purple hued glowing fins and anglerfish lures coils in a swimming motion. The creature is muscular with an almost beak-like face, but most noticeably it has a second head/maw built into its abdomen.

The original description doesn't gender the character, but in my head I'm going with ✨she✨

Loose name ideas are appreciated, I'm still kicking that ball around and probably will be for a while

Yesss, big spell and stab boi let's gooo!

This is a doodle I did on the fly of Bee. She's just a tired lady who doesn't get paid enough to be a spy (zoophonic bard that uses rats to keep tabs on people for the crown and she absolutely gets paid enough lol)
A light blonde colored Gnoll, or kholo as they are called in Pathfinder. She faces the viewer with a wide open mouth showing her triple pierced tongue. Her eyes are golden in color and tired looking. She has a red dyed Mohawk that lies limply and piercings in her altered ears. A small dreamcatcher made of bird bones hangs from one ear. The same kholo wearing a gasmask with dull metal fittings. The front most dial has a simple crown symbol on it

I love when my cat forgets to use his bones properly and I get to snap pics like this anatomical monstrosity. Cat skeletons are a myth and I refuse to believe in them lol
A photo of the front legs of a black cat crossed over a blue blanket. Because of the positioning and angle of the paws, one looks crooked and as though the bones are not in the right places. (He's fine, just a weird position)

Just here to add:
Religious painting depicting the crucifixion of Christ followed by a panel zoomed in on the bottom left to show a person looking at the viewer and making a face. Next to this frame is an image from Drake and Josh showing the uncanny similarities between the character in the painting and the show.

Zoro from the anime one piece faces away from the viewer with his signature three sword style stance of a sword in each hand and one held in his mouth. A fourth sword has been edited to be held vertically by his tensed bottom. The image is in grey scale. Joey Wheeler from Yu-Gi-Oh looks at the viewer with an affirming half smile. Speech bubbles read "Yous Non Biney? Dat's cool" The large and wonderful Terry crews as his character, Terry Jeffords, in Brooklyn 99 with his arms extended in a somewhat aggressive advance. He looks irritated and wears a dry erase board around his neck with "7 year old boy" written on it as a label. The antagonist of the movie Ratatouille, Anton Ego, with a serious demeanor is pictured speaking across two images. The corresponding quote from the movie has been altered/removed in favor of "I don't just love DMing. I hate it."

I made a devil-fox-clown-rogue to be an important and recurring NPC in a game I'm going to start running soon and accidentally fell in love with her. Taking name suggestions lol
A horned, blue skinned woman is looking up at the viewer with mismatched eyes and clown makeup, leaping away. One eye is white with a diamond shaped black iris and red pupil, the other eye is black with a white heart shaped iris and red pupil. Half her face is painted white in addition to her harlequin makeup. She wears a jesters hat, has three fox tails, and canid legs with swirls painted on them. Her bare arms have snake tattoos from which two real, winged snakes emerge, which she holds in each hand. She is smiling at the viewer mischievously and has several daggers and swords on her belt and back. An alternate angle of the previous image, the woman's eyes have been adjusted to continue looking at the viewer. The snake on the viewer's left can be seen where it connects to her tattoo. The same character without her performance makeup and jester's hat. Her hair is a shiny, vivid red. The same character again with her performing makeup but no jesters hat. The diamond over each eye is black and red respectively. On the half of her face painted white there is a heart on her cheek, a dot next to her nose, and her lipstick is half done, all in red. On the other side of her face the cheek heart is white, the dot and half lipstick black.

The joys of canine companionship never cease 💀 (my dog had to have a deep cleaning bath yesterday because I saw her roll in what I will politely refer to as "used leaves." You have my sympathies)

This reminds me a lot of how this meme made me feel lol

Like, yeah I got better but man I still cringe when I think of "old me" things or read things I wrote years ago.

I keep mine in a key pocket I made based off this one on etsy and it usually works well. That said I also have given up on having A ChapStick™ and instead usually commit to having purse, bedside, car, sink, and living room chapsticks. Key chapstick has been working for now but I lack faith in it
