CW: Fighting, Bugs
If you can’t ever think of a generic enemy that needs to be dispatched by your characters, why not just make a small creature big.
Here are some examples:
A snail is a bit icky normal-sized (In my opinion at least), but scale them up to the size of a dog and then they get a bit freaky.
Then scale them up a bit more to perhaps be horse or cow-sized, and you’ve got a scary sort of creature eating through a farmer’s crops.
A mole would also be a good creature to scale up from its typical size to be bigger, Imagine how hazardous falling into a bear-sized mole tunnel could be.
You should probably also have the moles be monstrous or off-looking in some way. Otherwise, people will probably feel bad about seeing them getting attacked by your characters.
Butterflies would be another good bug to make bigger, just thinking how loud the flaps of their giant wings would be is kinda spooky.
Although in this case just being bigger probably wouldn’t be enough to make them a good enemy, you should probably give them elemental power over the wind as well.
Lovebird Gryfinch Room Guardian
ForAuction
The Lovebird Gryfinch has a Rose quartz crystal heart. It sits about 9" tall and has a coat of high quality faux fur that is very soft. The neck and tail have a fully posable plastic ball and socket armature inside that will not wear out over time. The arms have a wire armature that is fully posable as well, but should be posed with a little more care. The head is cast in resin and the arms, and paws are all original sculpts. The hands and paws are sculpted from a flexible clay that will not break when bent.

Void No. 6 (The Ether)
Available in my site shop
Void No. 6 has an emerald crystal heart. The face is hollow and lined with black velvet. It has a coat of specialty faux fur that glistens like dragon scales when the light shifts. The neck is comprised of individually layered fur, ostrich feather, and gold tinsel. Each fur color change on the body was hand sewn together. Every part of the skeleton contains a fully posable ball and socket armature that will not wear out over time. The ears have a ball joint base so it can be easily posed in any position. The head, ears, and legs were all cast in durable resin and painted with pigments that shimmer like the fur.

Reassigning Fantasy Accents:
Gnomes now sound like James Earl Jones.
Vampires now talk like Deep South, inbred from inbred and inbred again, get off my land, no fancy book learning, rednecks.
Fairies/Pixies are from the Canadian maritimes (similar to the Minnesota accent but a little more british/scottish)
Goblins are from Newfoundland.
Serpents can grow large enough to encompass entire cities, nourished by sunlight and praise.

Sry, I have to repost these again because of x and y. :)
The upper pic is my version of the Baykok - a hostile spirit raised from the blood-painted bones of a warrior. He was the first encounter in our rpg campaign a while ago.
The second image is a portrait of a harpy. It’s also a close-up of a bigger painting that I’m currently working on. It requires quite a lot of work so let’s see if I can make it!

Wind Beast
I created this creature almost a decade ago, I’m not sure what really entailed it. I think it was a fanon YuGiOh monster? Either way, I ended up drawing this fellow a lot more lately and liked how much of an amalgamation of other animals it was.

It’s may again and like last year I plan to share some new merfolk paintings. To start this #mermay I’m sharing some of my past paintings in honor of this month.
I’m looking forward to a month with my feed filled with mermaids!
“Five of daggers”
Back to experimenting with some traditional media
I love the illustrations that come with tarot cards. I know the five of daggers doesn’t exist, just inspired by ;)
