Ningen

Ningen is a mythical whale-like cryptid. The word "ningen" translated from Japanese means "human" and the creatures are described as large, blubbery, whale-like creatures that share some of the same anatomical features humans do.

Scotland suggested this and I couldn't resist the chance to pander so shamelessly.

Ningen- Rough Thumbnails

This creature intrigues me.
I'm playing around with different shapes trying to find something I like. I think the ones on the left are working better.

Mothman

The Mothman is a cryptid reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from November 12, 1966, to December 1967. Most observers describe the Mothman as a man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes and large wings. The creature was sometimes reported as having no head, with its eyes set into its chest.

Sailor Mick

The character Sailor Mick is an original creation by Kirt Burdick at www.pulptrash.com and the protagonist (if you can call him that) in his creator owned comic "How To Be Bulletproof." It's a greatly subversive story. I loved it.

This had been sitting in my sketchbook for a while and figured it would make a good test for color. Back to the drawingboard.

Skunk Ape

Bigfoot's southern cousin. 
The Skunk Ape is a hominid cryptid said to inhabit the Southern United States, from places such as North Carolina and Arkansas, although reports from Florida are most common. It is named for its appearance and for the unpleasant odor that is said to accompany it.

Thunderbird

The Thunderbird is a legendary creature in certain North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It is considered a "supernatural" bird of power and strength. It is especially important, and richly depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, and is found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest and Great Plains.

Leviathan Sketch

A rough mock up. I hope to have a final version up soon.
This is based on the fossil remains discovered HERE.

The Kraken

Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth.

Loch Ness Monster "Nessie"

The Loch Ness Monster (Scottish Gaelic Niseag) is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. It is similar to other lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere in the world, though its description varies from one account to the next.
