Misc. Sketches 2014-2017

Designed as a birthday present for my uncle, it was an adaption of the Greek figure Triton, planned to feature in a Hercules adaptation I was exploring.

In ancient Greek myth, the Hydra was described as living in the Lernaean swamps, so I designed the creature based loosely off of crocodilians and snapping turtles.

Some ideas I've explored were a bit more mature and strange, which would have been a part of a fictional bestiary documenting the various types of Nymphs from Greek myth.

One of many sketches I made in an attempt to design an adaptation of the Siren/Naiad myth from Greek mythology. The numbers were associated with an animal anatomy reference document posted on a forum documenting the design process.

A later exploration of the Siren, where they were very much meant to be presented as alluring but predatory creatures, using an addictive pheromone instead of song to pacify their victims.

I was always inspired by the Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park, both from a behavioral and visual standpoint, and wanted to have her "hair" raise up like a cobra when agitated.

I spent a great deal of time struggling with the anatomy of the skull and jaws, trying to figure out how they could remain attractive while enabling them to expand their jaws to a horrifying extreme.

My interpretation of the Hard To Kill Lizard from the SCP-Foundation.

Inspired by Japanese Tokusatsu, it was meant to be a type of minion formed from the ground... predating the adaptation of the Putty Patrol for the Power Rangers reboot film by 3 years!

Another Tokusatsu themed design, this would have been the heroic main character, a being combining aspects of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and even Astro Boy.

One of two ideas for original Kaiju designs, Rhigon is a monster that embodies the Earth itself, consuming rocks and metal to grow its rock like shell.

Domoranah [a crude combination of the Japanese word for Wolf combined with Piranha] was created in parallel to Rhigon as a sea Kaiju, and a vicious predator.

This one has a rather weird history, a Godzilla fan-fic character that I decided to evolve into an original character that uses the crystal in her chest to transform into different monstrous forms.
