Here's my submission to the competition! Thank you @catmask and @frogcroaks for this fun opportunity! I did this all in one sitting because I cannot be stopped mwehehe
Submission:
I tried my best to make the design look not too crazy/busy despite being based off sparkle dogs lol. I spelled inspiration wrong whoops sorry
(In case you can't read it)
Inspirations:
Sparkledogs
Post apocalyptic cities
Goats, sheep, wolves, scorpions
And various pokemon
Lore:
"Discovered in Pripyat, this creature appeared friendly from a distance, waving at us with a kind smile. Although we couldn't approach due to levels of radiation drastically spiking, we can only assume it's a trap."
Extra (non-submission):
This was my scrapped Wisteria Willo-whisp design before I ran away to Toxic meltdown lol
for a portion of the month of OCTOBER 2024 (OCT. 1- OCT. 25) my friend lemmy @frogcroaks and i will be hosting a monster design contest!
FOR THIS CONTEST, YOU HAVE TO DESIGN A MONSTER WITH ONE OF THESE THREE THEMES...
TOXIC MELTDOWN, WYSTERIA WILLO-WHISP, or DESERT OASIS!
SO HERE ARE THE RULES...
the piece displaying your monster design can be any art medium, though it must be your own original design, and it must show the monster's full body at least once!
designs with offensive undertones—such as racism/cultural appropriation—will not be accepted. please research your design's origin and meanings, and be respectful.
you can only submit to one theme, so there is one entry per contestant!
failure to adhere to these rules will result in disqualification.
after the event ends on the 25th of october, 3 WINNERS (one from each category) will be selected by the two judges and announced on the 31st (HALLOWEEN)!
THE PRIZES...
1st place in each category will receive - two artworks of your monster design - one by myself, and one by lemmy!
honorable mention/judges pick - lemmy and i will also select our favorite designs from each of the three categories, and do a chibi drawing of those selected winners!
if you missed the submission link at the top...
and may the best beast win!!!
Random drawing with my silly oc Cat God. (In hindsight the heads are small ignore that) Idk why I drew him with fish but I did. Also, I drew the fish they aren't a stock image lol
Extra little drawing of another oc, except it's a human. I hate drawing humans..
Taro and his parents! I love Taro sm he's been with me for 6 years. Surprisingly his design has not changed much since the first couple drastic changes. If you don't know, he's also Cat God but the pre-god version. Cat god is like technically an AU but I plan on including both versions in future comics of mine
Doodled my sister's character and made concept art for my fursona! I mayy make a post on my fursonas over the years once I design this one lol
I'm excited to design the fullbody like THATS ME!!! But cute and fluffy
Warning for implied violence in the animatic!
I introduce to you... Alfred! He's my silly rdr2 oc and I love him so much. I made an animatic of him in only two days so it's a little silly especially because I'm not used to drawing humans that often.
He's basically a trans cowboy who after leaving a note to make sure his family doesn't come after him leaves home to go live his dream. Out on his own he has both bad and good luck lol
oof I tried to practice drawing a bg with a reference but I could NOT get it to look good so here's what I did before giving up lol. I'll definitely be doing more in the future so I can get better!
also as an extra here's a bg I did for a map part I'm still working on
Random pokemon doodles! I honestly don't know a ton about pokemon and I've never seen Amaura before 😭 She was so hard to draw.
a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.
you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.
Here's a headshot of my wolf sona. I'll probably draw him anthro and feral in the future. For now I'll stick to headshots because I can't draw full bodies well lol I'm studying
I really want to embody my childhood wolf plushy the iconic grey wolves. Anytime you search up wolf plushies online and it shows the same design gahh I love wolves
Some furries made for fun 😎😎 idk what I'll do with them but maybe they'll be background characters in some story I have
hey i know i asked for constructive criticism but what i actually wanted was for you to tell me i'm extremely talented. and also pretty. sorry if that was unclear
