1) Talos, Satyrus, Sooterkin, Kaw-Kaw/Gaw-Gaw, Habrok, Futsunushi, Matopogon, Oiwa, Rubezhal, Hynalis, Makura Gaeshi, Zashiki Warashi, Usutsuki Warashi 2)Maenad, Hiderigami, Aeternae, Grendels Mother, Hawk of Achill, Gong Gong, Aguane, Tanggwhan Llanna 3)Pua Tu Tahi, IsoGashi, Marquis Naberius, gangi kozo, mud mermaid, Panhu Alright so for now I will be starting a bunch of the most recent rough drafts. a number of the creatures I drew I did end up using especially in some of the recent pages iI took a while to warm up to the idea of using Talos or Grendel's mother but I think I really like them after all. they are among my favorites out of these along with Hawk of Achill and Panhu- the heroic dragon dog thats bad at shapeshifting Naberius was originally going to be rejected and the actual Cerberus as a demon lord was taking his place however i have decided that demons sometimes name themselves after other famous demons or gods to honor them and his alternate appearance as a 3 headed crow makes him different enough.

1) Chimfalamula, Ophiotaurus, Zheng, Malebete, Tuchulcha, Phantom Kangaroo, Lone Pine Mountain devil, Ghost deer, Michigan Dogman,Skvader, Partridge creek monster, squidicum squee, gnome of girona , bloop 2) Feram/Vidalot, Currucuca, Dodo, maridillo, Fute Canela, Zanca Parranca, Saehrimnir, Marmajor, Nonell 3) cikavac, scolopendra, Achelous, hsi wang mu, bakru, telchine, pal rai yuk -The Ophiotaurus took a while to make My list because I kept trying I kept trying to think of the reverse of what i ended up going with. however i do remember why now its because as is the shape is too much like that of a dragon. - Tuchulcha and malebete were fun to draw - I dont want to steal from Atmaflare but his Saehrimnir art inspired me as he had so much fun and whimsy with the design. and saehrimnirs body horror fate of eternal rebirth just to be eaten again is interesting. www.deviantart.com/atmaflare/art/Saehrimnir-the-living-feast-614529929-I know we do not have a lot of sources on the spanish monsters but the sources we do have are more reliable than say warriorsofmyth.com. so I drew them ad im including them. man spain sure made things get dark and edgy fast. we have the eyeball thieving bogeywoman, the highly successful bogeyman leaving trails of limbs and maimed toddlers, and the bogeywoman that has long limbs, drives women mad, and has all her organ bulging in her throat - speaking of organs bulging in throat thats the second time thats been mentioned in myth the other time with Cu Chullains warp spasm form I dont know what that even means tbh its hard to picture and it makes me question what they viewed organs as. either way I might make a connection here, and I picture it in part as vomiting up the organs and a toxic black goo randomly and regrowing them over and over. - I wasnt expecting to even draw Scolopendra I already had Omukade. but i did and I liked it it has a Nausicaa and the Valley of The Wind vibe and you cant ask for better than that in an insect myth -I have trouble believing Albastor is a real myth but its a cool monster - Cikavac ended up just being an armpit chicken , I tried tho. - second attempt at a Pal- Rai Yuk design idea, it just isnt working for me.

I would suggest perhaps numbering them and providing a list in the post? Your handwriting on paper doesn't show up well in the photos.

ok I'll add creature lists to them most of them will be numbered its only the recent ones and maybe some I photographed before numbering that are un-numbered and the recent ones are un-numbered because I included more creatures i decided against using than normal.

1) Chalkydri 2)Imori, Ashiri Yashiki, bunnyman, skrat, xtabay, rhitta gawr, teugghis, monuca, fur bearing trout, fiji mermaid, mokumokuren, apollyon/abaddon 3) endriago, Ayalga,quibungo Tinyosa, Ishim, Ruixamantells, grunyu, calzadilla lizard, Mufosu - Chalkydri was a good creature find but I couldnt find anything else that I was sure of enough to grace the same page as it so i left it that way - had to alter Imori to my taste geckos taking the form of a tiny swarm of samurai is fun but i want the geckos to still be geckos even in samurai form - I was worried I just couldnt get a dark souls vibe out of any creature they had a good horrible monster in a Ghibli movie vibe which is great. but anyway Rhitta Gawr gives that vibe so im completeely happy with that now - I was going to make the bunnysuit wearing axe murderer that might be a ghost cryptid into a sort of mythological punching bag throwing in some cartoony menacingness as well but this joke felt to self indulgent - skrats cool a treasure guarding dragon that looks like a chicken caught in a downpour works pretty well for me - mokumokuren feels like something you would run into in an asian version of a gothic horror castle and I like that -Quibungo despite being werewolves mutated with a big mouth on its back may actually be the weakest evil monster in my project due to it description as a cowardly child eating monster weak to all weapons that screams when dying so in other words this may be the the monster every great evil hires as cannon-fodder basically. -Ayalga is cool I find it odd when a nymph is not attached to a tree or body of water but this is a interesting creature and i will explain it as an effect of being close to dragons as those who are close to dragons all the time may be mutated by their magic. - Ishim , I cant believe I almost passed up an angel made of snow and fire- still only vague ideas of what i want it to look like tho - I have decided from the story I read on the Calzadilla Lizard and how it cursed the gun that killed it to never be able to kill anything again is that it is able a crocodile like creature with witch like powers and that any weapon that strikes or kills it will be damaged, broken, or imbued with a terrible curse. i think as a game mechanic it could be fun.

I love this, keep it up! I don't agree with the Chalkydri being too cool for other creatures though :-p
I think Albastor has more chance to be a real creature than the Theuggia? (the fairy with two sides)
I love your idea about that crocodile! Sound similar to my Jiangshi monster, which also curses creatures/weapons that strike them.
Keep it up!

Hey thank you glad people like them and they are starting discussions. Ill have to do a some full watercolors of some creatures soon. 1) Chazaqiel, Davy Jones, egg ghost, Si, Kayeri, Lampade, Rosier, Lakhey, Usilomapudu 2) Erichthonius, King Baal, Gigantes, Samm Abras, Hashmallim, Zadkiel, Temeluchus, and the rest do not matter 3)Duke Berith, Count Halphas, Count Bifrons, Duke Gremory, Kazenbo, Duke Vual, Duke Valefor, Red Ghost, President Barbas - chazaqiel is an angel of clouds, mists, meteors so I made it into a cloudy mass obscuring the angel with a confusing twisted bunch of wings sticking with no clear indication of what shape the form they are apart looks like - Davy Jones is a small mix of sea animal traits that form a piratey human like outline . i was originally going to make it attached to a huge monstrous lower body but It was getting to big in this drawing - it took a while to sort through the different Baals and Beezlebubs but in the end this is where I decided demons name themselves after other demons and gods. and I ended up going with both the Ars Goetia Baal spider body from the official art and everything but also Beezlebub as a separate demon the depiction skirting the line between both the "lord of flying things" and the " lord of flies and feces" versions. - Giants are a tough one at one point even not playing skyrim I liked their beastly giant who befriend mammoths, at points I liked the idea they were humans who are big because they powered up so much with magic- but that requires them to be human with ridiculously strong magic and strength. Nephalim exist in my project they could play the roll I like humanoid giant to not be super huge anyway and angel lineage is a good reason for giants. but then I finally figures out what I truly want as a giant, Norse Mythhas Jotunns and Fire Giant from their own worlds respectively so the Greek Gigantes are the perfect Earth Giant they are born from the Earth Goddess Gaia they have scaley legs and tree like bodies. they kind of remind of the Giants from dark Souls and while Im going with a different look I think thats a nice bonus. -Count Halphas, I didnt change much but I made its way of producing weapons basically vomiting a bunch of them up maybe through some sort of portal or magic stomach -Red Ghost is basically just a camel with a dead body strapped to it but I am going to make it a cursed being formed from the rage and despair of both being at their fate. - Samm Abras im not using I know a lot of monsters are based off animals and people with unfair reputations, but I dont need leprocy in my project anyway.

The primary source for the Teugghia is from one of the Pierre Dubois encyclopedias, so it's almost certainly fakelore. That doesn't mean it can't be used, however.

I love that Halphas, where can I read about the weapon-puke ability?
Samm-Abras, you could replace the named disease with just rotting diseases or magic.

I have only written my way of portraying how Halphas provides weapons and munitions to its summoner here so far, the ars goetia demons have a couple of war related weapon providing birds some build walls and towers some have arms anyway I just sort of came up with this interpretation when i had to drew it. but heres a link to the official description en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halphas

1) Chimi and Moryo / Chimimoryo, Mekurabe, Druj, okikumushi, snow snake, Count Raum, Arakiel, Marquis Kimeris, Duke Gusion, Itsumade, Dorotabo, Marquis Oriax 2) Mameleu, King Balam, Yan-Gant-Y-Tan, King Asmodeus, Tsemaus, King Beleth, King Purson, Candileja, Jophiel/ Dina 3) Wechuge, Phobetor, Adze, Zenniao, Akheilos, Muirdris, Nalusa Falaya, Urcututo, Berberoka, Ichneumon, Bloody Mary, The Blue Lady - chimi and Moryo are supposed to be generic terms for mountain yokai and water yokai respectively but there is art for them out there so I made them creatures too. not pictured the term Chimimoryo is used to talk about them a lot so They are able to fuse together into one creature. - I was not going to make Mekurabe its own creature at first It was just going to be like another form for Gashodokuro but I enjoyed drawing this pile of skulls so much it gets to be its own creature - I do intend for Count Raum to look just like a raven or a crow and I might even throw a joke in that he just kept showing up at demon lord meeting and we dont know if its a real demon with great destructive powers or just a crow they gave a title to/ thought was a demon but it wasnt. - I really enjoyed drawing the fat goofy dragon asmodeus is riding its the only kind of dragon I could imagine something with that body riding. - Arakiel is an earth themed angel so I made it kind of a floating island thing idk its. also its named Lord of Distortion so it emits sonic waves. - Bloody Mary and the Blue Lady are in this primarily because of how much I enjoyed reading the Myths over Miami article. its got an atomopheric and mysterious vibe to it plus its obscurity is through the roof so they need to be in something ( the blue lady anyway Bloody Mary has had enough screentime) www.miaminewtimes.com/news/myths-over-miami-6393117
