Mythical Creatures - Blog Posts

A while back in December of Last Year I decided to make a color pencils drawing of a Mermaid called Lady Layla; I eventually I found this photograph of former Up All Night hostess Rhonda Shear and chose to use it as the basis for this for drawing.

I would later reuse this idea later on when I made a watercolor painting called Marlo, whom I based on model Jennifer Atilemile; Hopeful this will give you better idea of how my creative process sometimes work.

Marlo

I made this piece for the upcoming merry month May; I decided that since this is the month of the mermaid. I would make a watercolor painting of a mermaid race called Merrow, whom I named Marlo after Raymond Chandler's famed hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe.

Marlo's physical appearance is inspired by model Jennifer Atilemile; Jennifer's strike beauty was very easy for me to transform into this great mythical creature you see before you.

Imagine a faerie as a retail employee - like -

"Hello would you like to join our rewards program?"

"Uuuh... sure!"

"Alright, can I have your name and number? :)"

ever wanted kataang as a little mermaid retelling, with a bit of an extra romantasy twist?

i present- "you with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyes"

years ago, the spirits tui and la split the earth between the sky and the sea. however, they did not lose all hope for the rejoining of earth's peoples- tui blessed one avian a generation with the gifts of the mighty avatar, while la carefully selected one siren to grow into the role of the painted lady. the two were their little sliver of hope- hope that one day, the siren and the air-rider would fulfill their destiny, would find a way to reunite the tribes, would be able to root out the poison seeping through the land.

OR: a KATAANG AU where aang is a winged avian and katara is a siren!!!

the following are excerpts from this in-progress work: <3

Avatar Aang had been told time and time again that to venture across the surface of the sea when the moon had risen and claimed what rightfully belonged to it was to sign your own death certificate. 

And yet, he found himself here, at the water’s edge, skipping stones, lost in thought.

To be the Avatar had once meant something, years before. Before the four tribes had separated, scattered to the ends of the earth. Those who formed fire itself chased the other tribes from the surface lands, those who could move rock and metal burrowed underground, those who flowed with the air sent ships with great sails across the sea until they reached towering mountain spires.

Those who bent water, who bent blood… they retreated to the depths of the sea, and with time, they became a part of it. Legend told of the way in which the Water tribes had adapted, two legs smoothed into razor sharp scales and voices twisted into something dark and luring.

Now, they were the monsters known as sirens.

⁎⁺˳ ✧༚ ˎˊ˗ ♡ ˗ˏˋയ ✩

As if in answer, the winds of the sea whispered back his own song, the melody made haunted. He made to turn himself away, to find shelter for the night, but that very whispering gave him pause. There was a different quality about it, something feminine, not simply his own voice reflected back. His instincts told him to duck, to crawl, and he did, bracing himself against a stone at the beach’s edge. The sound was louder here. He turned around the rock, wincing in anticipation…

…Only to be met with the sight of the most beautiful woman he had ever had the pleasure of seeing. He understood all at once why so many men had fallen prey to the charms of the siren.

 For this girl to even gift him a wayward glance, he would build a temple. A religion. 

She looked like a painting come to life, a sculpture kissed by the spirits themselves.

 “I thought that sirens made a point of dragging Airriders to the depths of the ocean long before either party exchanged names.”

“Did you truly think so little of me?”

“The legends seem to think very little of you, at least. Me? I’m still making up my mind.” Aang tossed her a teasing grin.

“You seem fairly calm for a man who believes his fate to be sealed.” Katara raised her eyebrows, crossing her slender arms over one another.

“If my destiny is to spend the last few moments of my life at the side of such a lovely enchantress, who am I to fight it?”

“Handsome and a charmer. Is that your plan, to lull and seduce me into a sense of false security so that you can send a blast of air at my gills and leave me stranded in the bay?”

“If I’m remembering correctly, you are meant to be the lulling seductress of the two of us.”

⁎⁺˳ ✧༚ ˎˊ˗ ♡ ˗ˏˋയ ✩

He smiled down at her, reaching out to take her hand in his and press his lips against her perfect skin. “Pleased to make your acquaintance, Lady Katara.”

She pushed herself up off of her elbows, reaching up to brush her lips against his cheek. “The pleasure has been all mine, Airrider Aang.” With that, she slipped back under the waves of the sea, and Aang was left to wonder if the entire exchange of words had been nothing more than the spirited imaginings of a madman stranded and drowned at sea.

The Seers

When the Wandering God came they saw a canvas of possibilities and so they began to cast upon the void, an array of light from which the stars grew. When the Wandering one saw patterns amongst the newly made celestial sky they gave them names and then forms, and these forms became the Seers constellation given life. In that early era before time, the Seers and the Wandering God created the heavens, but eventually the god grew restless for it was in their nature to move and never be still. So prior to their departure they created an empty world and gave it to the Seers and said,

"Fill this place with wonder, and equal parts dread. Have this be a place of many tales and most all let it be well. "

With that they left, leaving only a promise that they'd return one day when the stars were right.

The Gates of Mul'Dingir

The City of the Gods,

Prior to their downfall at the hands of the archons, the Seer watched the world from their golden city. There, they wove tapestries of life and spun the great wheel of the world machine to move the heavens. When the cosmos grew large and their number few they created the servants, the first angels to work on their behalf. Unfortunately such a decision would lead to their demise.

Just some art from a fantasy world building project that's been in the back burner for a while. This is old art I drew years ago, finally got around to posting it here.

it's not a very good movie,but the theme: a werecat 🐅🐆🐈‍⬛

just like the legend of the werewolf, the legend of the werecat is present everywhere like Europe,Asia,Africa and The Americas.

I would like to see more movies about it because I only know this one.

Mythical Creature! PB au

Shishikuno Mogari-☆Dragonborn☆

Man, this took suck a long time °\°

This is probably the longest I've ever spent on a digital drawing, I've been working on and off basically all day.

I was supposed to spend today writing my first entry of Febuwhump (also gonna be PB), but got inspo to draw instead.

☆☆☆

A little info on this au:

I don't have much, but I do know that the rest of the gang is gonna be as follows:

-Seer Kanzaki (for obvious reasons)

-Faerie Korekishi

-and either Wolfwalker or Siren Tamon, I can't decide

Honestly I didn't really think up a lot of lore for Mogari when compared to the others, uh, basically he's just got the spirit of a dragon and can transform into one. He's a Spirit Dragon type, which means he feeds on Spirits (functionally the same as ghosts) for strength and possesses some similar abilities to Spirits (i.e. able to enter the spirit realm and become intangible)

☆☆☆

Anyway, if anyone wants to use or draw this au then feel free, with credit, of course

Creature base: Akhlut (Wolf-Orca hybrid)

Has gills and lungs. (Similar to a seawing from WOF)

OUTDOOR/S (Backstory Summary)

Skyler, Derrick, and Herald were once just kids playing in the corridors of their luxurious manor, their futures bright and untainted. However, their mystical family were massacred by machine-mutated burglars one dreadful night, leaving only the children as captives for unimaginable experimentation.

Their once-gentle guardian, Uncle Willard, came back from the edge of death with a soul tormented by an unimaginable hunger and a body distorted by dark occult practices The children were saved after he found their kidnappers, but they had changed. Caught between power and the past, they bore the wounds of what had been done to them, reborn with the combined legacies of Griffins and Dragons.

Willard's demonic blood would eventually demand a price, an unspoken fact that hung over them as they chased those who preyed on the weak. He offered them the option to either choose to live forever in his shadow or to forge their own path before his hunger took them.

The latter was their choice. But life is never that easy.
