Patron Sketch Page: Cat Ghouls

Put in your requests here!

For the rest of this month (if you haven't made a request that I've filled yet) and for July, too, if you're going to still be here!

$10+ patrons get a sketch page of any creature or character concept they want.

I've decided $20+ patrons get EITHER two sketch pages or a simple col...

Patreon Sketch Page: "Silent Hill for a Ten Year Old"

Well, when I was ten, and other kids I knew were ten, our brains were pretty much on action figures and video games 24/7.

These monsters manifest for a greedy kid who probably didn't share....TO DEATH.

Mortasheen - Snithernash

Named and described this one, making up its personality and powers last-minute as I quite often do!

Patron Monster - Angel Worm

Patron Monster - Fungal Jellyfish

Patron Monster - Parasitic "Twin"

a creature that becomes a parasitic twin for hosts of other species...

Patron Sketch Page: Crustless Crustaceans

Gooey!

Patron Sketch Page: Playing Card Suit Goblins

$10+ patrons send me a PM if you want to request a sketch page! Any creature concept!

mortasheen rough doodle - tusked beast

Mortasheen still feels like it's missing some basic "scary tough monsters" so here's one crack at an idea

Patron Monster - Mushroom Berserker

Viking Berserkers were often just hopped up on Amanita mushrooms!

Inspiration process: Ticktox

It occurs to me that a lot (if not most) of the monsters I draw have a long, dumb story behind their inspiration, and I thought maybe it'd be a fun feature to get into for the patreon, so here's the monster I just uploaded, Ticktox, and some of what went into the idea.

Already obsessed with plant ...

Zonehopper's Guide: The Crevices

Patron Monster - Predatory Neotenous Tadpole

I've never forgotten those close-up photos of tadpole mouths that look like a bunch of meaningless black scribbles. Tadpoles have so many weird features.

I thought they were so much cooler than adult frogs when I was a kid, really enamored by these weird slimy heads with tails. I always wishe...

A Mortasheen OC Commission

I don't generally leave commissions open because I work SO slowly at things for other people (and slow enough for my own things), even just this one took me almost two weeks of fretting and it's still a pretty simple drawing for me!

However someone really wanted to pay to realize their origin...

Mortasheen - Crystalk

I guess summer is a ripe season to cultivate more botanicals

Doctor Phage Pin Card

My kickstarter for a dr. phage enamel pin has been funded twice over now, which means it will also come packaged on this cardboard back, covering up the duck!

Take off his head and put it on your stuff!

Mortasheen Concept - Widoweed Redesign

I've wanted to redesign this monster forever. The top one here is what I'll probably go with.

Mortasheen concept - More Amoebeyes

I think I'm close to one that I like here, at the top. I wasn't sure if I wanted this monster to have sockets for its eyes or not, but putting them on the back of its head seems like a perfect compromise and even more quirky.

Mortasheen concept - Amoebeyes

You've possibly seen much older doodles of this idea. A thing with amoebic eyes, climbing around its own big, blank face has been on my mind for years...but there are just too many ways it can be done

Mortasheen: Sightseed

I like some of how this turned out, and feel dissatisfied about other aspects....but this monster is the culmination of rough ideas I've had for some four years or more. At one point, it was a colony of both eyes and slime. At another, each pod had a humanoid body attached. It was even almost just a...

April Mortasheen Concepts III

-A new take on the mummifying worm I've shown before

-A new take on the "Cheshire Snake" I've also sketched previously

-A creature that grows heads like melons on a vine, as nests for the eyeballs that are its true form

April Mortasheen Sketches II

Present:

-An anchored tentacle creature

-Variations on the Abathrael

-A gumby-like root creature, a botanical that'd probably do something much scarier than it looks

-Psychic creatures with "exploding" brains

April Mortasheen concepts 1

Present:

-A mass of ever-expanding vines with both predatory mouths and exploding fruit.

-Bubble-like "aliens" generated by a spongy core organism.

-A wormbrain that acts as an immobile hive for several different types of worm

Patron Sketch Page: Squid-frog hybrids

Patron Sketch Page: Scavenger Psychopomps

a request for various psychopomps (grim reapers, specters of death, etc.) who symbolize carrion-feeding organisms!

Patron Monster: "Weirdest Goat"

I thought I'd try more minimal shading and highlighting this time, I think it often looks a lot nicer really...

Blood Fluke Diagram

I was actually commissioned to illustrate the effects of a drug for a scientific paper! The drug seizes up the body of a blood fluke, causing it to release its grip and curl into a small ball, but it has the same effect on the surrounding human tissue, which means the blood vessel tightens, increasi...
