Drawlloween 3 - Goblin

Drawlloween 3 - Goblin

This is an even messier sketch than the first day’s because I got carried away with the design instead of the drawing itself.

These are the notes i made on the creature:

(ignore the elongated forearm; it’s not nearly so exaggerated)

the idea is that they’re scavangers that live in magic-infested areas (like, magical lakes, sentient trees, swords in stones, etc) and they feed on the bodies of those drawn to the magic or (in the case of humans) deliberately trying to come in contact with it, and get killed along the way

the lioncloth may be partially made out of people skin (they’re resourceful like that)

their feet are a bit more ape-like than ours and their hands are sorta racoony

and they’re marsupials. because.

they’re not ~evil~ (i have trouble with inherently evil species) just sorta gross and repulsive to humans

they eat carrion and generally don’t kill

they don’t get along with people because either a) people see them eating other humans and assumed they killed them or b) are mad at them for desecrating bodies

and though they do use tools, when they eat they just sorta dig in with their hands (unless they’re collecting large chunks in order to store it) which freaks people out as well

they exist all over the world, but in non-overlapping areas which leads to different subspecies in different environments

they play an important in maintaining any magical ecosystem - yay!

I ALMOST FORGOT TO SHOW YOU GUYS PICTURES OF MY NEW SCALY BABIES.
THE GUY ON THE RIGHT IS AN ADORABLE GREY CORN SNAKE WHO WILL STARE INQUISITIVELY AT YOU WITH HIS BIG SOULFUL EYES UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM.
THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS A WESTERN HOGNOSE WHO’S THE CHILLEST AND FRIENDLIEST CURIOUS LITTLE NOODLE I’VE EVER MET.

If you just so happen to be looking for excessive lizard-blogging today, check out my side blog unconventionally-adorable, for pictures from the NY Metro Reptile Expo. (Unless there's bad internet or I can't take decent photos.)

Ft. a picture of a very messy and awkward sketch of a thylacine taken with my phone (sorry)

I wanted to do this gory, creepy one, but I was tired, so you all got a bad pun instead. I’m sorry. (Only kinda.)
