Howdy all! I'm Tiina, a creature design artist. Grateful to have a safe outlet to keep in touch with my friends that are understandably bailing... other.. social media platforms. Heh. 😅

Dragged an oldie out of the mothballs for #GryphonAppreciationDay. This is my Indian Hornbill + Squirrel Gryphon, Knuk. And the statue of him sculpted by the extremely talented @verdantsculpts.bsky.social!

Umi's colors have quite a bit of dolphin influence.

Umi.
My Vapor dragon. A kind, strong fisher that lives on a rocky shore. She's also friends with Copernicus.

Noc'lore.
My Neonphibian dream dragon. I created her when I was a teenager from my usual inspiration - "Inanimate object looks like animal."
I dropped a pair of striped stockings on my bedroom floor and they landed in a shape that reminded me of a house gecko.🦎

I feel the need to clarify that I'm sharing a lot of my older art from back when I owned Dragondust dot com.
I let that domain expire and rebranded.

Now my current website is Tiinasaurus.com

Fanfiction Fanart.

#Megamind #Fanart #TheBluePrince #FishOfaDifferentSkin #RoxanneRitchi #Minion #HumanMinion
Soren Kinestoi Syxus Fanart inspired by 'The Blue Prince' by Scarlet-Frost. The fanfic ended on an illegal cliffhanger and the author deleted their Deviantart account. I'm not sure where they are now and kinda worried. Oh Fan art inspired by 'Fish of a Different Skin' by cgaussie. NOTE: Just a warning. The story contains Adult Content™. Here we have humanized Minion, who’s supposed to be lookin’ at his hands but instead appears to have found the invisible broom… or something.

Since capitalism won't adequately appease my current obsession I'll do it myself.

#Megamind #DIY #Airfreshener #EvilAirfreshener
As a nerd that drives I obviously had to make an (evil) air-freshener OR figure out how to make my car turn invisible. The former was more cost efficient. I get meticulous when it comes to accuracy so I paused the movie in a few places, taking screenshots to drag into Photoshop for measurements. As you do... Logically. Oof that's old (and blurry) but if it's helpful feel free to use it to make your own evil car decor. I figure if Megamind took the time between building various gadgets, giant robots and an army of brain-bots while plotting new ways to kill Metroman, to make a custom air freshener for his car that no one will see because it's invisible, you can too.

I'm sorry if you happen to see me post a thing and delete it immediately.

I'm trying to get the hang the format here and it's frustrating that there's no quick editing window.

Even if it's just typos. 🫠

You'll wanna read the ALT for context.😅

The Equestrinator is from 'The Reign of Megamind', Comic (page 13) I couldn't resist drawing this in response to an April Fools prank in which the Megamind LJ community was "converted" to a MLP:FiM community. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Logo by Makintosh91 on Deviantart.

Kaapamü's buddy Copernicus.

#OC #CreatureDesign
Less anime influenced redesign. His tail is prehensile. OOOOOOOLD art from 2003 showing off his native biome. Mostly humid marshland filled with banyan trees.

This is Kaapamü. The first character I ever made back when I was a wee(aboo) lass.

#OC #CreatureDesign
He used to look VERY anime influenced but grew out of it. I once made a single comic page featuring him. But that was it. I feel bad. I'd like to give him a proper story some day and alleviate my guilt... Also the first this I drew in Procreate. The gem on his head has a function but I'm keeping it under wraps in case I find the willpower to write a mini comic one day.

Based on actual concept art from The Art of Megamind.
Blame Dreamworks.

He's "covered up" so I don't think this needs a warning label. Lemme know if I'm wrong.
#Megamind #Dreamworks
For the fandom. Because we all know he’s a secret Metro Man fan boy on Laundry days. I REGRET NOTHING! except how the steam turned out but I don't want to spend time fixing it. One of these days... I SWEAR I will draw him in something he actually wore in the movie.

I found out they changed her look for the TV show, likely to avoid getting sued by Marvel. I like her but I wish they'd kept the outfit from the concept art.

The umbrella dress is just ugly.
#Megamind #DoomSyndicate #LadyDoppler
She only appears like this in one concept design in the art book, but I really liked her costume. Primarily the pants… which of course, I didn’t draw.

#Megamind Fanart where I never draw anyone in anything they wore in the movie.
I wanted to see how Megamind would look in his home planet's garb. So I basically dressed him up like his father. Roxanne as Megamind's evil queen. I love this pair way too much. I started this sketch in the dealers dungeon of Dragon*Con with no phone reception, thus no reference. I intentionally left out the belt and changed the collar.

Made this poster as a gift for Eric Stuart and Rachael Lillis [RIP] when they were at Animate Florida a few years ago. My signed copy will be treasured forever. It was such a dream to actually meet them.
