hes just a doggy :3

I designed these Silent Hill creatures a while back and figured this was a good place to share them

I've been a huge fan of SH for a while now and making art inspired by that world was a lot of fun and it makes me want to do more. do you have any ideas?

Across the abyssal plains and in deep trenches Quilna have reported lights in the endless darkness. These lights usually coincided with the death of a large creature. Called *Yichu-nuk'ixa* or "the lights that lead the dead" they were seen as a type of Psychopomp or guardian of the afterlife.

In reality the spike squids are massive bioluminescent scavengers that live in the deep water regions of Yuchic. They have relatively small mouths for an animal their size so they use the scissor like claws on the tip of their 6 main tentacles to disassemble large corpses. The bioluminescent spots on their bodies are used for communication and asserting dominance.

While similar in appearance to Earth Cephalopods they are actually closer to crustaceans than mollusks. Spike squids are heavily armored with boney plates on their tentacles, large boney spikes connected to the muscle tissue and an internal shell covering their vital organs.

Spike squids are found below 540 meters to 2000 meters in depth they rarely approach the bottom and prefer to feed while a carcass is still drifting down. The theory is that they have trouble navigating around solid surfaces at their size. Others believe they are simply afraid of something on the bottom.

Yuchic was reseeded by a species called the Cuti approximately 20 million years ago. So some of the spike Squids traits are based on Cuti biology.

Character concept art for Springfield Hotel

Doesnt really look like a dragon but im prob still gon use it for my comic 🙃

Just finished this one-eyed felt creature with his worn cloak and skull staff.

Small, strange, and slightly unsettling. Pretty much the vibe I wanted.

I love creating fantasy creatures, and this is one of my works—the Ancient Glacier Beast.
I really enjoy the whole process of bringing a piece to life from nothing, and I’ve also documented the entire making process.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions about my piece or future ideas, feel free to let me know!✨

We've got four different cults including demons, spirits, undead, and cryptids. Anything y'all think we should add? Are we Chupacabra or Mothman enjoyers?

Some icons of sin concepts ive drawn for my game.

These wonderful animals can be found in the light forests across many of the open plains and forest edges across most of the Temperate sides of Hamor, the Rust Pixie infests forests with their hives creating sprawling networks of highly aggressive and territorial Insects that create a delicious rust coloured nectar. However with the Dire badger, in the spring time they can be found raiding these nests when they are at their most abundant. and then through out the rest of the year, they gorge themselves on smaller animals and fruits, until the next year when the Rust Pixies have had time to rebuild.
