Artwork of a bird-like monster, called Amphistrot. The creature has a brown coat, with yellow feathers serving as highlights. It has a false head on its tail made from feathers, and defends itself via kicking

For this design I wanted to make a smaller, less threatening creature. At about the size of an ostrich, this creature moves through open plains in herds, using the false head on its tail as defense

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍🌈💗💙🤍

the trans pride flag

Here is some non-satire for you:

Trans rights forever.

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️

every time you repost this image a trans person gets hormone treatment and a transphobe dies

You know what to do

Kermit the frog sitting on a log surrounded by flowers Text: "what radicalised you?" empathy bro, literally just wanting people to be treated like human beings

I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself.

Keep going and don't be afraid to fail.

tips for bluesky newcomers: YELLOW TILES ARE ELECTRIC! THEY WILL ELECTROCUTE YOU! GREEN TILES ARE ALARM TILES! IF YOU STEP ON THEM, YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT A MONSTER!! ORANGE TILES ARE ORANGE-SCENTED! THEY WILL MAKE YOU SMELL DELICIOUS! BLUE TILES ARE WATER TILES! SWIM THROUGH IF YOU LIKE, BUT, IF Y

Silhouettes of a giant monster

A sketch for a giant monster. It has a large, armoured body, with glowing blue highlights all over it. The shell is covered in a blue dust, and it has long, blue tendrils on its head and tail.

Concept art for a creature called Veyoquerel. The creature has a large, armoured build, with four powerful legs and long, blue tendrils that extend from its head and tail. The image showcases the creature's ability to manipulate a radioactive substance to its will, and how it uses this substance to protect itself when weakened. The image also describes how little is known about this creature, as it only emerged after the fall of an ancient city.

For this one I wanted another design with "final boss vibes" and had a vague concept from the beginning. The design came from a dream I once had, where this thing's cocoon was sitting on a beach, it broke out, and all hell broke loose.

#art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

The image showcases a manta ray inspired creature called Mahastrape. Its main colour is a pale grey, and it has a black underbelly, as well as pale blue accents and pale red blood veins. It uses magnetism to float in midair, with smaller creatures latching to the bottom of it to eat parasites off of the stomach and wings.

For this one I wanted to do another unconventional creature shape, and quickly had the idea to do a land manta ray. I was flip-flopping between having it float via air gusts or magnetism, and in the end I think magnetism was the right choice.

Thanks!

The image showcases a snail-like creature named Ardequa. Its shell is covered in sulfur dust, and has several vents, from which steam can escape. The creature's head has four mandibles, which it can use to fire a sticky mucus, which explodes on contact with water.

For this design I wanted to make a unconventional water-based design, with it creating steam vents and explosions. Given the volcanic region it inhabits, I settled on a sulfur theme. The snail idea came from me wanting to use a more uncommon creature body type.

Trans rights are human rights.

Come what may, I will never stop loving and cherishing all my LGBTQ homies. You will always have a seat at my table and a cushion on my couch.

TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

The image showcases a flying snake-like creature named Goyleryx. The creature has black scales, and a grey underbelly. Glowing, orange stripes go the length of its body, which ends in a sharp, serrated spike. The head features two large, serrated fangs, as well as spikes, which resemble a mohawk. The wings feature flame-like patterns, which light up when the creature is enraged.

This creature is another inhabiting my volcanic region, and the setting's final Amphiptere for now. This one is based heavily around gargoyle imagery, with fire element being the perfect fit. Somehow, the weird ideas I had for this one came together in the end.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

A concept for a creature called Gallaharus. It is a large, Spinosaurus-inspired creature, which can swim through lava and use liquid metal as a weapon. Its body is a cool grey with the occasional stripes and blue spots. It also has large, blue membranes over its body, ideal for swimming. Its back, much like a Spinosaurus, has a large sail.

This is the first design I made for my setting's volcanic region. Knowing that I'd make other creatures using fire and water elements, for this one I went with earth, and more specifically, liquid metal. Of my current designs I view this one as a "main character".

A concept for a creature called Mongumar. Its back has bright orange fur, while the lower portions of its body are dark blue. It has two black horns, as well as spikes protruding from its back. Its legs are partially covered in bristly, black fur, and it has an orange sac on its neck, which it uses to expel flames

The older design of the creature in the other image. It is notably less detailed than the new version, and sports a different pattern.

This one is another redesign of an older concept. My skill level at the time wasn't at a point where I could execute my vision properly. This version works much better, and gained a more bestial appearance than before, which fits its personality well.

An image showcasing a monster design. The creature is a winged serpent, named Amphijin. The image showcases several angles of the creature, detailing how it hunts and attacks.

This one is a redesign of an older concept I had. This one is another Amphiptere, using its tail as a lightning rod. The design really came together when I came up with the taser-like fangs as one of its methods of attacks.

An image of a scorpion-like creature named Lernteriz. The image describes the creature's abilities, such as extending its pincers and head, and its ability to produce explosions with its two tails.

I had the idea of a scorpion-inspired creature in mind for a long time, but this design is very different from my initial idea. This design began life being inspired by the mythological hydra, and the other elements came together to elevate that aspect.

For my first piece of 2025, I decided to revisit this design in the form of a full painting! The space-themed background came together better than expected, with me making minimal changed from the image I exported from Blender.
