Creature Concept: Golden Sea Serpent Digital art of a yellow, dragon-like snake creature design. It has a row of jagged, fin-like spines running down its back. Similar fins form a crest-like frill on the back of its snake-like head. I similar frill, though smaller, juts downward from the back of its top jaw. A pale bony beak with a crest on top and underneath covers the front of its face and top of its head. Near the base of the mouth, the beak forms a long tusk that sticks forwards. The edges of the mouth have jagged razor formations of bone that function as teeth, and the beast's tongue is forked. Its scales are a pale shiny yellow, and its eyes are bright blue.

Desert Ogre concept art. (Now updated to include a female version)

These creature designs are meant to be like giant or troll creatures in a fantasy setting, but they are inspired by the evolution of real-life apes instead of being purely magical beings.

Creature Concept: Desert Ogre (female and male versions) Digital illustration of 2 ape-like humanoid monsters side by side. Their skin is mostly grey, with pink regions on their bellies and around their mouths, as well as in the insides of their ears. There are swollen blue skin patches on the neck and above the eyes on the male (right). Both sexes have bright orange irises. Yellowed fangs are visible inside their mouths. The beasts' limbs are long and thin, but visibly muscled. The hands have slender fingers with claws in place of nails, and the feet have only four main toes instead of five. A fifth vestigial toe is located near the ankle, at the back of the foot. Their long baboon-like tails are tipped with a tuft of curly fur. Similar wavy fur grows on their backs, more thickly on the male. The hair extends up their necks, but tapers out on top of the heads, where it becomes very thin, so the creatures are nearly bald. The female on the right is overall shorter, with wider hips and a thinner neck, while the male has longer limbs and is more heavily muscled. Art by @Sarah_Draws.

Creature Headshot: Desert Ogre Digital illustration of a human-like ape with greyish skin, which fades to pink on the chest and around the mouth. Its irises are bright orange, and its mouth has large canines that sit on the outside of its lips. It is mostly bald, except for a few strands of hair, and has a very wrinkled face covered with dark splotches. Above the eyes, there is a large flap of skin that is pigmented orange.. Large, billowing skin flaps, similarly pigmented, fold over its chest from the base of its thick and muscular neck.

Creature Concept: Starlight Dragon (white version) Digital concept art of a white-scaled dragon in flight, facing left relative to the POV. Its horns are curved and yellow, but short in length, and its eyes are deep cyan. Viking-style rune scars are engraved on its knuckles, wings, and tail. Similar runes also make up the fading edges of its magical glowing wings and fins, which are deep blue in color. Thin tendrils, the same color as the dragon's scales, sprout from multiple regions of its body, including the top of the head, chin, neck, elbows, tail, shoulders, and wing tips. Each tendril is tipped with a small jewel-like orb that is cyan in color. These also glow with a slight bioluminescence.

Desert Ogre concept art.

This creature is intended as a form of speculative evolution work. My goal was to create an ogre/giant type monster which appeared evolutionarily similar to apes and hominids.

A sort of ogre/giant creature I have been working on, intended to be an evolutionary relative of humans and other primates.

I've been painting again and decided to make a concept piece for my #Snailriders #boardgame of Magpie Dragon. Do I need detailed concepts like this? No, but I want to use this as an opportunity to build up a creature concept portfolio.
Magpie dragons despise anything more shiny than their own feathers. Especially during the mating season. Snailriders have to be careful about what items they use when in their vicinity.

A digital creature concept painting of a dragonlike creature that looks like a eurasian magpie. A large profile image below, in the upper left a view from above and in the upper right corner an anatomical drawing without feathers viewed from above. Magpie dragon is written to the right below and "Snailriders by Benjamin Brinckmann" is written in the lower left corner. Magpie dragons have enlarged wing membranes underneath their feathers to give extra structural support. They are too heavy however to launch from the ground, which is why they have large sharp claws on their wings which they use to climb up trees and rocks .

5 years ago VS now 💕

Very little art was dated around this time so it was hard to find! Had to look through a lot of old notebooks

I know younger me wouldn’t believe where I am now, and I look forward to seeing how much I’ve improved years from now!

Tho I was kinda cookin with those hybrid designs…diabloceratops dragon?? 👀

im sketching so much but i never finish anything

#dragon #wyvern #art #creatureconcept

Five messy concept sketches of a gharial-inspired dragon, drawn in orange on an off-white background. The character has a long body and long head, four legs, a pair of limbs that can be used as both legs and wings, and a long tail that splits in two at the end From left to right, top to bottom, the sketches are: (1) a bust showing off the creature's slender neck and face (2) a view of the tail tip from above, showing the way it splits (3) a side view of the dragon laying down in a way similar to crocodiles, with its wing-arms not supporting any weight (4) a similar side view to (3), this time with the wing-adms supporting the front side of the dragon, propping it up so it can stand tall, and its front legs curled beneath its torso (5) a messier sketch of a pose similar to (3), but from a different angle, and the wing-arms assisting in a slow, crawling movementTwo concept sketches of a wyvern whose legs are not visible from the angle it was drawn in. It has plating that goes down in layersm each layer having a large spike that doubles as something similar to a jet engine vent. There are two of them, one bigger, and one smaller. The bigger sketch shows it flying, curling as if it was in the process of turning. The smaller sketch is a symmetrical view of its back from above

Another take on this design…but this guy’s a bit more fancy with his gold accents and jewellery. Local boss or something.
The thinking behind these cyborg designs was to find an easier solution for a general background alien that was still kind of organic but didn’t require a ton of animatronics - so these would have been simple pull-over heads with the performer looking through gaps in the greeblie face tech.

Design sketch for Kijimi background alien on The Rise of Skywalker. I liked the cyborg face with C3PO eyes and little mandibles that would have moved when he spoke. Undoubtedly some kind of scum and villain if he’d ever been realised…

this is how I sketch with pigment liners - no erasing, just fun! :)

I use this eraser-free method to keep myself from obsessing over details. this way I create more (but less-perfect) drawings and learn faster. the result is that I'm able to draw from imagination much better already than I was about a year ago, which is great 😊
I hope you like this little insight <3
