Tori's Notes - Dr. H.M. Phage, T.E.
Trying a real different style and feel for these now that we're in a new area.
The text would fit in better if I hand-wrote it, but then I'd probably destroy my wrist. I don't suppose anyone really cares, though.

These can't have been scrapped for being either too gross or too stupid, considering the things I finalized and kept in the coloring book. I guess I just ran out of steam before I got around to completing "giant butt skydiving nightmare" and "woman with mutant tongue."
Found in my big box of old drawings, this looks like a Mortasheen arthropoid whose head I wound up not liking, several times, until I'd pretty much ruined the paper by erasing over and over. I could have drawn a nice head separately and photoshopped it on, but I guess by that point I just wasn't fee...

This idea was an abstracted way of having a lycanthrope-based Mortasheen monster; weird, shaggy alien-looking faux-canines who inject a mutagenic virus that can turn a host into a giant tree of dog-flesh, from which more of the "wolves" sprout.
I still like the concept and designs, but I'm in ...
Aditya requested a married pair of conjoined ear monsters.
Both are very hard of hearing and have to shout at each other constantly. This is unfortunate for anyone in earshot because they also stubbornly disagree on almost every topic.
Venvel requested a Thymus character, so here she is! Thelmus is a no-nonsense security chief in charge of a force of trainee T-cells.
suggested by Hisham, here is a butt creature that also acts like a nepenthes pitcher!
By coincidence, we will be soon seeing an area of the hospital where this entity might fit in very well....maybe we'll even spot one!

I'm on a redesigning/upgrade kick I guess; I might do a bunch in place of brand new monsters for a little while!

I still consider it canon, but we didn't have any good gameplay ideas for having to keep track of your familiar or what you would use it for.
This is a short story I seem to have forgotten I ever wrote. The ending is nonsense, but I still like it. I just don't quite like its overall quality or writing to really put it out there...maybe I'll rework it somehow, or just publish it as-is some day.
The Junjo and Gashunk are two "reverse mermaid" Mortasheen monsters I've meant to expand a bit on for ages.
On the left he...

You'll only like this is if you remember and strongly liked my flash series, The Fear Hole, a chapter of my pseudo-creativity plagued by low-brow Adult-Swim-Like humor before I had any idea what I wanted to do as a cartoonist.
But, reading it again, I think there's some funny conce...

Another special bonus for some of you, these are notes I wrote for the development of the RPG world. They likely won't be included in the core book (I wrote A LOT more content for it than we needed) but if you wondered about the "normal" animals of the setting, here you go!

If you liked the Boo Men, here's some initial doodles of them, and a bunch that didn't make it! A few stayed basically exactly the same as these scribbles, others evolved a bit and others hit a dead end.
I've had a concept for a while for a series of Mortasheen monsters that are basically tricked-out, floating monster skulls. Just big, weird skulls with all sorts of organic weapons and powers.
They'd basically be like Dungeons and Dragons' Beholders and Beholder-kin, but flying death skulls in...

The surgical waiting room was almost a simple hexagon, and an overhead view not unlike rooms in the corpse-world. I decided I needed to go the extra mile and make a really dynamic, elaborate scene considering how much we went through to get to this point.

Hisham requested a butterfly-like arrangement of flounders as a monster and I thought it sounded like it should be a MEATY so here you go
ITS AN BRID??? IS PLANE???? FOOL! EAT AN FLAPPANG FESHES CAN COME FLYENGE IN 5 FLAVOR OF ATOMSPHERES
Feels a little nicer, maybe still just not the overall style I wanna go for with these, though...I was originally gonna do simpler art closer to the Meaties from Burgrr, guess it'll depend on feedback or request type!
I've talked about Tilberi on my site before, they're still one of the most out-there mythological creatures to my knowledge, and I figured they would count as a "vampire" because they both feed on blood and are created from human remains. Still not sure this book will ever come out or not, sadly.
More chimera parts! These are:
Scariest, Wheeled, Colorful
Loudest, Furriest, Deceptive
Nut-cracking, thickest skin, flammable.
The fun thing about this game's concept was that there were no actual rules to what any of these meant. Creatures would be generated, en...

Another of the $30 monthly requests!
With these being basically rough speed drawings to keep me from exhausting myself, I'm not completely sure they're worth the money...but maybe I'll start writing up profiles for them, too.
Aditya's monster request (for $30 patrons, once per month!) was a bleeding Ebola virus covered in sores.
I dunno if I like how it turned out or not, looks lazier than I intended.
