Wendigo

    Im not sure when a Wendigo became a strange gorilla ogre thing, instead of the gaunt, cannibal spirit that was the basis of the original Wendigo myths, but it seems to be the norm in most modern fantasy games and such. Makes me wonder who was the first person to change the mold? Maybe there they thought there were enough ghosties in the monster manual and said "nah, hes gonna be a monkey now.." In any case, gorilla ogres are a lot funner to draw than ghosts, so im not complaining!

    I used a golden snub nosed monkey as reference for this guy to try and give him a more unique look than the average grey/white/blue color scheme that I usually see them with.

tentacle Walker rehash

This is a rehash of a alien design i did a looooong way back. I always liked the design, but it was painted really badly, so I took it in a little bit diferent direction this time, and added some bioluminescence and just darker all around. Maybe a sea/swamp or cave environment?

Oni Monk

This grew out of a doodle for a previous piece, changed it from and alien-ish face to more of a oni/demon look. I've ben playing around with making things a little "softer" than my usual harsh style...and I kinda liking where its going so far!
