Coming up with my own designs for some of popular creatures from mythology; a monstrous drake, the iconic griffin and the brutish mountain troll.

glad to see people using drakes in their fantasy world i think they are really cool and underated because everybody has dragons but seeing drakes play a significant role in a fantasy world is pretty rare

Fr. I’m glad to see this beautiful creature
Coastal Drake, So Nice. Mountain Troll, So Good. Royal Griffin, So Amazing.
Griffins are the bane of my existence when drawing birdlike creatures
Love the Griffin, and love to see a tiger-griffin soon.

Love the coastal drake, one suggestion if I may be so bold is flatten its tail somewhat dramatically as most semi aquatic and marine reptiles have dramatically flattened tails and even primarily terrestrial species to include Komodo dragons have slightly flattened tails. Again though the artwork is amazing
I love seeing reptile like creatures drawn in fantasy the drake design is so cool

In the future, maybe the hypogriff is a good candidate for your world, because it’s kind of like a griffin but with horse legs instead
So it was a troll 🧌. And the other beast? The giant snake?

I never see any fishlike creatures exept half fishes. Please make a fantasy shark i'd love to see them in a project like this because they have such cool sences like electro reception. They have such big roles and so much potential in a world with fantastical beasts so please i beg of you, use a shark and im definitely watching more of your vids 😁

You should do Quetzalcoatl using the Peregrine Falcon, Milk Snakes, and Gila Monsters as references

Im actually working on a creature rn that I’m using a Gila monster as one of the references for
Woah, I LOVE the Coastal Drake, looks so Powerful and Vicious! I can't wait to see what a Wyvern and a Full-On Dragon(My #1 favorite Mythical Creature obviously. XD) shall look like! The Mountain Troll looks Brutishly Stronk, I wonder what a swamp troll(maybe has some wolverine frog mixed into its design?) will be like! And the Royal Griffin looks so Epic and Majestic!
Just got home from work and am watching it now
It would be cool if for the different forms of griffins you did one that's an ambush predator. It could be a peregrine falcon mixed with a panther or a leopard. You could also do one that's a combination of a snow leopard mixed with a snow owl and make that one smaller than the rest.
I remember a while ago in a fantasy world of mine (That I have abandoned for a new and imo better world project) griffins were essentially different birds with different cats so while there were the traditional eagle and lion there were also griffins like crow and jaguar, owl and tiger, or hornbill and leopard
So many seem to forgett, that there were really smart trolls in norse myth.
Im a big fan of the griffin design that mixes secretary birds and cheetahs i think you might enjoy it as a smaller subspecies of griffin in the world
Wow! Seeing how these went, I'm starting to imagine how you'll take on future fantasy creatures. Maybe a jungle griffin having a tigers body and a harpy eagle's head, just for thought. Keep up the good work.
Coastal drake: _Deserted Island battle theme intensifies_ Lovely gryphon, and I agree that unless you have a specific reason for your creature to appear chimeric, its overall design should DEFINITELY involve cohesive, consistent elements across and throughout the body. (Noting, of course, that "I just think it looks neat" _can_ be a specific enough reason in and of itself) In one of my settings, I have a gryphon-like species called the alce, a wingless quadroped with avian features. They sometimes call themselves "birds of the ground", but they do not envy the ability to smaller birds to fly. One of their signature design features is their forked, swallow-like tail (their actual tail being short and stubby, but decorated with a pair of feathered streamers). Males tend to be more "colorful" than females ... um, at least relative to them not having much color variation to begin with.
I am an enthusiast and student of biology and paleontology, fantastic creatures generally leave me very uncomfortable or discouraged, since many only combine absolutely incompatible anatomical traits or the combination of certain things would make it a being in constant pain without being able to move or breathe right (like dragons, wtf, how does that have 6 legs???) or griffins (a total chimera), I became a boring old man. but you do it in a way that even these absurd combinations seem plausible and harmonious in being, great job.

Awesome designs! On the idea of different type of griffin, there is a breed o hunting dogs called "Griffon", and About marina iguanas: since they ingest so much salt it filters through their blood and goes to glands in their nostrils, which will expel the salt like a sneeze.
All these monsters would make for a great fantasy style mh game tbh.
Should def plan an ASA/ASE creature design series
SECOND Can’t wait for THIS❤
I'd really like to see the griffin's beak extend into a hard crest
The drake kinda looks like a Godzilla monster
“Drake! You can’t date her, she’s 13” would be a crazy species name
Capcom should hire you to creature design for the next monster hunter game!
WASSUP BRODAS
I actually loved this new look of the Griffin and it looks like a species of dragon if you know what I mean.

I think you should follow Monster Hunter design Philosophy, considering that you wasn't new to Monster Hunter franchise. The design ethics is their ecology. Anjanath Sail was used for thermo-regulation and it's weird extensions of the nose was used to help the animal sense of smell, Anjanath also Sneeze which they used to mark their territory. They also overall anjanath is one of my favorite monster design, it's a literal living modern paleoart like seriously, modern paleoart is very speculative with art depicting dinosaurs doing goffy thing or having an very awkward soft tissue structure. Same with Anjanath he had an awkward soft tissue structure and also feathers! But if you just want cool fantasy, I don't mind it.
The griffin's feat appears a Little draconic To Me, anyone Else see ti?
Will the other species of Griffin be the Valravn from Danish mythology, or Hieracosphinx Egyptian mythology witch is a bird headed sphinx, or the normal Greek Griffin?

Prolly the boreal dragon just because of its overall size, ability to fly, and frost breath
could you draw more herbivores, frugivores or even insectivores?
