NEW MONSTER ALERT.
These are some Ethereal Beasts (the somewhat more malicious cousins of Fearsome Critters). Occasionally called "kelpies," these creatures spend their lives beguiling frustrated individuals (for some reason they are most attracted to angry young people) with their natural wit and charm, which they use to convince their prey to climb onto their back. As soon as any foolish person does this, the Kelpie proceeds to run off with them- racing faster than the wind- taking them to incredibly strange (often desolate) places (and sometimes new worlds entirely), where they abandon their prey to die miserable, lost and alone.
FUN.
As a side note: There are two kinds because I wanted them to fit in with the rest of my ethereal mythical monster pairs (see: Manticores and Aaish'ya). However, they have no set sex or gender, so any appearance of dimorphism is a trick. NOW YOU KNOW.
I love your creations. The top one especially. Lovely designs
I like the bottom one
I designed the selkies so that they would fit in with my other pairs of monsters (the manticores and the Aaish'ya), thus the mask faces and skull-heads and "one big lumbering monster, one tall delicate monster" look. The only person I was plagiarizing was myself, really! (:
(And just so you know for sure that I'm not stealing from you, here's the first drawing of the Selkie that I put online back on June 5th (you'll have to scroll down- it's near the bottom of the page). I see that you uploaded your drawings on the 13th, so you can see there was no thieving involved. (:
Yes, I’ve been stolen from before, but I’ve changed attitude towards it. But nope, my intention wasn’t to accuse you for stealing, nononon.
100 sorries for the lack of explination from my side! Keep up your good work (: <3
I think it would be cool to have a mini comic/zine/thing that's like your Monster Menageries put together in a big Sfé Bestiary (Sfé Monsterary?) because that would look hella swank.
