Creature Parade #4
creatures from left to right: humtenali, cephlapod arachnidae, polar imp, and a costal-sand whisp. I was thinking of a klipspringer while I was drawing humtenali and decided to give it a human head. While I drew the cephlapod arachnidae I was going through a fear of being bitten by a black widow or brown recluse, but I suppose that fear is more of the unknown than it is of spiders. I have a great respect for both arachnids and cephlapods. The creature is my vision of how a spider mixed with an octupus might appear. In regards to the polar imp I just wanted to create a creature from a cold environment. I was thinking about heavy winter coats when I drew it. The coastal-sand whisp is the third whisp I have drawn. A whisp is like a carrier pigeon that delivers messages. This whisp is a mix of a crab, dragon, and a clay pot. It buries itself in the sand so that only the clay pot is visible. Once a message is placed inside the pot the whisp wakes from slumber to take message out to sea or a short distance inland.
