This rather impressive is called Ruppell's Griffon . I hope I draw it in a way to show how large it is irl :blobcatgiggle:

Another key ... This one is not animal or fantasy creature, it's just plain box/chest transporter from warehouse. Or is it somehow related to airport?

Screenshot of a small fragment of black terminal with ssh key randomart displayed. Bunch of random characters made shape similar to transporter on the first picture.

So it's my cat-dragon Maal'amin (or me :BlobCatGiggle:) eating 🍣
At least I drew it culturally sitting at the table, not greedily jumping at the food, like after thousands years of starving :blobcatjoy:

This one is inspired by absolutely casual photo I see here, snake in similar colour to this, with head pointing up. But I wanted to make it somehow similar to giant stone snake statue in my background photo... but it's body couldn't go through soil, right? So it should be in water... or swamp... well...

Long time ago I saw random post here, about wishing to see sea ... As I understood, it would be something similar to hermit crabs, occupying found shells. So I tried to create a wearing empty , stylized slightly like seahorse or sea snail - because deep sea creatures look like this :blobcatGiggleSmirk:

New key creation... Tired ... Because even with superhuman powers one could also be tired sometimes.

I "felt" both his silhouette and these colours looking at that terminal.

Small cut of screenshot of black terminal, with ssh key randomart. It's shape is similar to silhouette of man in first picture.

This is Bookworm, one of characters in my self-satire story "Astral Butterflies' Chronicles" I tried to write on lucid dreaming forum. This weird (or maybe one of the least weird in that world) guy was a librarian in main character's astral enclave and this one trying to keep things in order.
I described him as humanoid, insect-like gentleman smaller than human, sometimes behaving like grumpy old man annoyed by noisy youth.

This is fat-tailed dunnart. Except of tail, it looks quite similar to local mice-like small I sometimes see in my parent's village, especially with this thin, long nose.

One day I saw here photo of oldschool similar to this. In original photo it was in someone's house, looking like it was normally used, not some museum exposition.
Suddenly inspired, I just wanted to draw something like that.

Some time ago I had these red I received on some holiday and I thought I could draw kind of still life based on them. It is probably clove (?) at least I noted it as this.

So today is ?
I have this little guy, fruit eating small , created after conversation in comments on my other dragon , about little dergs similar to fruit eating bats, with conclusion they should be slightly plant-like themselves.
So this one would have some plant body parts for better camouflage on trees.

Another key ... kind of , maybe slightly similar to these rabbit-chinchilla things from Elden Ring. I definitely saw chinchilla tail in that terminal. And it also had to have horns :blobcatjoy:

This one is called Vireolanius pulchellus. Because of this juicy green colour I thought it would be cool to make contrast purple background... But it made it rather more flat and less realistic I feel...

This is dark ... or .
Inspired by some photos of owls with towels on heads, one looking like wearing weird headdress. It HAD TO be done :blobcatjoy:

Say Hi to this nice friendly little :dragonowo:
He doesn't bite!

And maybe at least this attempt to create small-looking dragon was successful...

One day I just randomly imagined this , like nonexistent cartoon . I thought of him as someone similar to Abu in Aladdin movies, both in looks and behavior (and maybe also his role in that nonexistent cartoon... but also played with thought of him being sentient creature talking with people).

Another key ... This time I even have a 🐉
Somehow similar to Almudron from Monster Hunter... I definitely saw its fins on head in that terminal :blobcatjoy: And I felt it should be some kind of water creature.

In these creatures are called "pearlspring macaque" and some of them are in DLC city centre. Around various holidays, where everything is decorated, they also have seasonal costumes. During one they look like this.

Layering gradients and pixel-sorting them results in some pretty interesting textures. (4/4)✨ This is a repost of an older piece.

This is Aythya ferina according to my notes. And on real photos this white/grey feathers often look like glitched graphic (at least when you try to look at details). It wasn't easy to draw this somehow correctly.

I created this after playing with my in dark room. I imagined miniature creature, like or inside, capable of release these colourful sparks. Something looking like this .
