Museum of Monsters

Thumbs up x4

Postby Karyete » January 4th, 2017, 12:06 pm

Welcome to my ever-growing collection of strange and bizarre drawings. Let me know if you have any suggestions, criticisms, or even favourites. Will update with every decent drawing I make.

I have a Tumblr account where I upload these images. I also exclusively put 'concept art' on this account. Any support is appreciated!

Drawings are in no particular order - some are cute, some are creepy. Also provided a small paragraph for each.

Emereus: show
Image

A docile species of rock monster called Emereus. Their bodies are mainly made up of rock, but they have large crystal clubs and spears.


Battle Scarab: show
Image

Battle Scarab (colour): show
Image

A powerful, bipedal beetle with large claws. Their armour is incredibly sturdy but they still move quite fast. May or may not have stolen Golisopod's arms for this one.


Moonbat: show
Image

Sunbat: show
Image

Relatively similar bats, but using a day/night theme. Expect a lot of bats.


Polymad: show
Image

Polymad (coloured): show
Image

A creepy plant monster, which uses four heads to trap, expose and consume prey. The four heads are named Seeker, Molten, Razor and Venus - can you guess which one's which?


Amanglate: show
Image

Amanglate (coloured): show
Image

A large mechanical...thing with a large claw and an arm cannon.


Bubblefish: show
Image

I'm pretty sure there's already some sort of sea creature that does this, but I dunno.


Bonehead: show
Image

I have to say, I really like how this guy turned out. He wasn't even planned in the slightest; I just wanted to do a lizard creature but was struggling with the head. Might design some more 'helmets' for him.


Sharptail: show
Image

Fun fact: one of the names I considered for this guy was 'Flailtail'...yeah.

Emerittle: show
Image

A little crystal monster, with many similarities to Emereus.

Terrail: show
Image

An armoured worm with a mechanical appearance. Has all of its vital organs contained with its three 'segments'.

Vanituril (beta colours): show
Image

Currently unnamed, but it's a powerful beast with an alien-like appearance. Still experimenting with this one.

Bandle: show
Image

A small beetle creature. Apparently looks like two loaves of bread.

Sercubus: show
Image

A charming snake with a deadly tail. Used as practice for more complicated shading and other stuff.

Octotack: show
Image

A spiky (and moody) octopus with sharp claws on each tentacle.

Ribonoct: show
Image

A lilac bat with a ribbon-like tail. Started using colourful backgrounds since the images alone were a bit empty.

Energeckic: show
Image

An excitable grass snake. Eventually grows into a more gecko-like creature, hence the bad pun.

Reptired: show
Image

Here is said gecko-like creature, who has bloomed and become a lazy little ♥♥♥♥ as a result.

Galeel: show
Image

A threatening eel creature which stays in the skies, spying on prey.

Gobfish: show
Image

A less threatening sea creature, this thing is docile and actually protects fellow sea creatures. It also eats a lot.

Ghorain: show
Image

A timid sea creature that dwells at the bottom of the sea. Coincidentally looks like Cthulhu.

Kannoquin: show
Image

A crossover between a kangaroo, dinosaur and harlequin. Arguably my weirdest one yet.

Gogglebuzz: show
Image

A large insect wearing a pair of safety goggles.

Wiguppy: show
Image

A tiny fish with vibrating blue patches. Has a gigantic mouth.

UPDATE 1/14/17

Added Emerittle - the first digitally-coloured monster!
I imagine I'll ditch ink-shading and do this from now on. Takes more time but it looks so much better, and it's nice to give them some colour.

Whoa, Nice. Your art is great! Your style is cute yet threatening. Your lines aren't messy and your attention to detail is Great! My favorite part has to be the creativity in these monsters, I love them!
Keep up the great work!

Love them!
If you don't mind my offering. The name that comes to me for it is Vanituril.
Great work!

Thank you! I like the name Vanitural, does it have a meaning behind it?

No meaning.I name based on appearance for monsters. Very rarely for meaning.
Glad you like it though!
