Patron Request - Tank Tardigrade

Two possible ideas for a water bear Megaman X boss

Patron Request - Tapeworm Megaman Boss

I am definitely not good at  coming up with the kinds of little mechanical details they usually put on these bosses....

Patron Request - Torture Implement Yokai

The request included that they would have dressed themselves up to be more appealing to humans, but I couldn't think of any good ideas for that! I made them all look fun-loving.

They are not to scale. At least, we should hope they're not, if you recognize all of them

Patron Request - Spiral Monsters

Patreon Request - Darkcaller

From here!!! The same artist has a lot of amazing designs!

Requests here!

Got pretty busy sorting everyone's creepypasta entries through December, but put in any requests you're owed for art here (including for January) and I'll work on them as soon as possible!

Patron Request - Muni Muni

This is an actual species of "dragon" you can train and evolve in the classic rpg, Bahamut Lagoon!

The final form is a whole flock of them of varying sizes, I didn't draw that many but I think I captured the spirit.

It's impossible to tell what's claw, tooth, tentacle or feather on the original sprite!

Vampire - Catacano

For an unmade vampire book a few years ago; the Catacano is a type of vampire with a perpetual smile, and it can spit its own blood, which burns like acid.

Patron Request - Ekalisse

My best attempt at this squishy OC

Patron Request - Mandibelle!

Another excellent Original Character from a contributor and friend!!

Patron Request - Microraptor video game enemy

Simplified into something you might encounter in one of the cartoonier Zelda games or even the marioverse??

Patron Request - Liath

Tell me more about this great character plz

Patron Sketch Request - Nurn

From the Zamonia novels!

Patron Sketch Request - Albedo Creatures

Albedo is an alchemical concept associated with the color white, when the alchemist becomes a pure and cleansed version of their spirit, separated from the "black."

The sketch request was to interpret this as an undesirable mutation, so here are three eerie, abstracted forms an alchemist might take after ridding themselves of all "impurity."

Patron Sketch Request - Torpuff and Pengulin

A puffin based on a torpedo and a penguin based on both a missile and a javelin! Pengulin is probably the sleeker, taller evolved form.

Patron Sketch Request - Fig Wasp video game enemy

The giant male in this species carries and protects the drying, hardened fig as a home to the rest of an ongoing colony.

Patron Sketch Request - Gengar!

Sketch Request - Dr. Hiru!

Character by doctorguilty!

The Simps - another unused short horror story

You would have expected some profound words from the moment of first contact. Something poetic. Something biblical. Hell, even a good science fiction quote would have been more acceptable.

Instead, the first thing our meme-addled, jaded world heard anybody say about our first glimpse of an extraterrestrial intelligence was one young journalist's outburst of "It's Homer Simpson!!"

They were, to be fair, bald-headed and vividly yellow beings, with lidless cue ball eyes and pinprick pupils. That, however, is about where the resemblance ended. The head was more lightbulb-shaped, tapering into a pencil-thin neck, the mouth was an anemone-like cluster of short, blunt petals and a barrel-like, hardened shell slid comedically up and down, up and down the knobbly, thin body as the creature walked, its head swaying side to side and its oversized, boneless feet flopping with every step. It could only possibly have been any sillier if the movement sounded like an accordian. 

It did.

Overnight, the preposterous creatures had become the comedy sensation of the century. What should have been a life changing breakthrough for the whole of civilization, an answer to questions we had asked ourselves since before we had language to express it, became viral video clips set to the latest pop songs and catchphrases. Gifs of our first intergalactic visitors spread across social media with photoshopped sunglasses and party hats. There was pornographic fan art within hours, and within days, a trendy t-shirt depicting one of our intergalactic guests smoking an impossibly oversized blunt.

We had, apparently, lost all sense of wonderment or reverence quite some time ago, and it didn't help that what everyone insipidly came to call "Simps" exhibited no interest in actually communicating with us, no scientific secrets to share, no apparent regard at all for our very presence. All they ever seemed to do was teleport down from a mothership shaped like a big bowler hat, bumble around like circus clowns and inspect whatever objects caught their inexplicable attention, with results that only generated more jokes and memes. "ALIENFAIL" became one of the most sensational new video channels, chronicling the sometimes slapstick-like antics of our visitors from beyond as they attempted to figure out where a manhole cover went or how a bicycle worked, and rarely made any progress that wasn't, admittedly, absolutely laughable.

There were, of course, attempts to touch or even attack the creatures, but no force so much as budged them. In one particularly infamous clip, a "Simp" leaned in close to a fire hydrant, learned it could rotate the bolts and only kept standing there, face-first for a full fifteen minutes in a stream of water that could have taken someone's head off. And yes...it made a loud, continuous gargling sound.

The attack began while half the planet was asleep. Towering war machines touched down in almost every city on the planet, colossal metal bulbs with gigantic, cartoon springs for arms and legs. They hopped on their stupid spring legs, complete with stock "BOING!" sound and they punched buildings down with stupid spring arms that terminated in fat, metal boxing-glove hands.

Then, in the smoldering rubble, they deployed their ground troops. The mothership apparently held billions of the damned things, and they swept through our communities in search of surviving humans, spraying purple gas from foghorn-like weapons with a flatulent honking that would have made us laugh if it were all just a bad horror movie, but there was nothing funny about the effects of the fog. Nothing funny about a puddle of quivering jelly that used to be a human being, blowing bubbles of its own liquid flesh in one final attempt to scream before it finally grew still.

Protected by force shields, the Simps did as they pleased. When they'd clear out a whole city they would take some time to stomp the remains. Grind anything left standing down to dust with huge, cork-shaped metal feet. In just thirty hours, they had exterminated nearly half the human population and wiped out almost every metropolitan area that could be seen from space, apparently either not caring about smaller towns or not even equipped to spot them all.

And then they were gone.

And they left us a message.

Their first and last communication, burned onto the face of the moon in English.

"no!!!
YOUR[sic] stupid!!!!!!!!!"

Mortasheen - Monevolous

Just a day or two later, I've already given one of the latest scrap monsters its own full page and colored artwork.

Mortasheen - alternate Skrash

This design didn't feel enough like Mortasheen's style and just a speculative reptile, so I quickly redid it into more of a mutant troll sort of beast you can now see in Scrap Monsters IV

Mortasheen - Scrap Monster part 4

November Requests!

Request a sketch page, simple color drawing, whatever tier you're at!

Mortasheen - Belching Gasper

The only one I got done in October, due to so many other projects!

Mortasheen monster ABILITY suggestions!

If you can think of "biological" powers I haven't used (or haven't used enough) in Mortasheen, or just any you find especially cool even if you're not familiar with the setting, post them here! It'll help out as I continue to try and sketch as many new monsters as I can think of.

Mortaween Scrap Monster Marathon

Posted to my website with just a half hour left in October, here are 13 quick sketches of new Mortasheen monsters you can consider canon, and I intend to do many, many more this way throughout November. Can I possibly reach 100????

These concepts DO NOT come from my existing backlog. All of them are unplanned creatures I came up with the very moment I drew them!

Patron Request - Mortasheen Mecha Suit

I got mostly done sketching this when I realized everyone will just want it to be an actual Biomecha, so maybe look for that someday soonishlike

Patron Request - Garbage Monsters Having Fun

A surprise birthday party for Grobbidile!

Patron Request - Jay and Flair

They're enjoying a nice iced coffee together!

Patron Request - unused Awful Hospital character

This was a concept for a very different human patient to round out Fern and Jay; someone who actively loves being in the hospital and gets by great there.

They're genderless, but they have a polyp that identifies as male, and they are good friends. This is normal for their native zone, where everybody is born with a parasitic polyp sibling somewhere.

Unfortunately, their polyp is very prone to getting sick, and The Hospital is one of the only places that can treat his kind.

The biggest reason I didn't go with his character (yet) was the similarity to Parasyte, which had a successful anime adaptation right around when I might have debuted these two.

There's still room for them some day, in something, I'm sure.
