FASA 365 Day 76 Ring Tailed Snowball, 6 inches around tops. Found high in mountains or snowy locals.
Feline in look, but… Large Rodent eyes. Horns like rose thorns. Claws far bigger and stronger than a cats, for digging frozen ground and ice.
Cute as a button, but between the claws the horns and its demeanor… it will literally RIP into anything naive enough to get close to it.
FASA 365 Day 75, Drilling Dither, Parasite. 6-8 inches.
Found, literally drilled into sides of larger deep sea carnivores. eating the scraps.
Should the host die or cease, for any reason to provide consistent meals; the dither detaches and floats, whirling in the currents until a new host is found, where by it will cling to, root, burrow, or more accurately “drill” into a new hapless host.
Fishermen finding a Dither in their nets or still attached should avoid getting too close. It will detach or attack humans viscously, not as a potential host, but as a very large easy meal. You see, human flesh or rather skin, is much easier to penetrate than say a whale, shark, or barracuda.
Humans are their “tenderloin” one might say.
Artist Note: This here is where Vol 2 begins.
FASA 365, VOLUME 1 DONE: as of March 14 2024
Except for the digitally created; This is the “First Full” sketchbook of originals for the FASA Creature Concepts 365 Challenge. Approximately 5 more volumes to fill.
Artists Note: I guess, only other artists will understand why I am making a big deal out of a “FULL” sketchbook.
FASA 365 Day 74, Timorrous, Spirit Demon.
You’ve heard of being in the grips of fear, well,…. here it is.
A being of great strength, but incapable of perceiving it.
The Timorous holds tight, making the victim, unable to move, only endure. Unable to act. Unable to fight. Just grit its teeth and stay put.
The saddest part of all, it honestly believes it is helping.
Artists note: The expression on this sketch was possibly the hardest part. Yes, I think I got sad and fearful…but when “I” look closer,… I can see a hint of rage. I wanted it to be there. Do you see it? Or am I seeing things that aren’t there, again?
FASA 365 Day 73, Pixie, a member of the fae. Willful… an original “mean girl”
Beautiful, absolutely. but be warned they can be extremely fickle and spiteful.
A swarm of hopping mad pixies can be downright deadly.
