Creature designs

Fantasy monster concept art.

A griffin where the feathers are made of leaves, the skin is made of moss, and the beaks/claws are made of bark.
A centaur, but instead of a horse's body, it's a praying mantis wielding an enormous, wicked scythe.
A gargoyle ogre hybrid with a stone crown and an ogre face inside its bulging belly.

Fantasy maps and handouts

The maps each took about 40 hours to draw by hand. And the parchment and sonnet were both created by me to use as a handout for Curse of Strahd.
