"Chicken leg" fanart sketches (Golden Axe, 1989)
I was a huge fan of the vaguely ceratopsian "Chicken-Leg" creature that appears in the 1989 Sega Genesis game, Golden Axe.
Recently, I sat down to sketch a bunch of realistic chicken-leg-type creatures:
Mostly Snaiad sketch pages from 2025
Some more scanned pages for your eyes only. Many of these are Snaiad concepts, which I am steadily illustrating behind the scenes...
A bipedal alien mount
Generous patron S. H. came knocking again with a concept for his expansive sci-fi universe:
Gaodu – Tall omnivorous bipeds renowned for speed and agility. Domesticated lineages have served as primary riding animals for millennia, shaping travel, warfare, and trade.
Here's the general body plan of the dominant phylogenetic order that includes the Gaodu: bilateral symmetry (descended from radial ancestors), 8 limbs (posterior limbs modified into tail s...

A personal demon-oid character
The first commission of 2026 came from generous patron V. W. who wanted my take on her personal demon character - an arcane being with an eyeless, folding face, and out-of-place eyes on its tail and in its palm.
My Singing Monsters: fauna of Mythical Island
Generous patron O. asked me to create an illustrated landscape of "Mythical Island" from the famous computer game My Singing Monsters -featuring a monster I'd illustrated before, Bleatnik - and two new critters; Cataliszt and Wheezel.
I had drawn Bleatnik before as a stand-alone critter, here it is!
Glimpse from a world of rampant crocodiles
Generous patron and friend N. S. came by with an amazing commission request - a flying predator attacking an armoured, grazing herbivore in a world (or continent) dominated by rampant crocodylomorphs.
Crocodile relatives were extremely diverse in the past, and included lightly-built terrestrial runners, near-dinosaur-analogues, shark-like swimmers, and armoured herbivores in their ranks. 2025-12-28 20:46:52 +0000 UTC View Post

An amphibious sophont reminiscent of a terrestrial argonaut
Created for generous patron Ś.- a mollusk-like sophont native to a humid planet with many small tropical islands. Below is my patron's original sketch.
My initial study (above), and the final drawing in steps!
A 93-million-year-old war nanorobot in goddess form
Another commission for my generous patron J. M. for Robert Reed's Great Ship universe, an outlandish entity, described by J. M. as:
"...an enormous military-industrial robot, 93 millions of years old, and the last relic of an ancient extragalactic war of conquest. Who also happens to be an exceptionally charming and beautiful woman, and a good friend and colleague to...

A nefarious alien underworld operative
Created for generous patron S. H., who I have created many alien characters for before - here is a "Bomgok", which was described as follows:
"It is unclear if “Bomgok” is a name, a title, or the designation of a species. The enigmatic leader of [REDACTED], one of the most powerful and expansive criminal organizations in all of known space. The syndicate's influence reaches far and wide, its operations intricately woven into the fabric of Primary Space's underbelly. The B...

Design for a giant radial alien "star person"
Generous patron K. S. commissioned me to design and illustrate one of the alien beings created by his brother - a race of titanic "Star People".
Drawing a star-shaped form convincingly is tough. So I made out a paper model to better understand its form. Here are the "star people" as seen in three different elevations.
