/r/beastdrawing
The critter version of r/characterdrawing.
A subreddit for fans of role playing games or speculative evolution to request their creatures be drawn, and for artists who want to draw creatures or encounters from popular role playing games. This is purely pro bono work (aka it's unpaid!) so do not ask for payment.
The subreddit wiki is currently under construction. Please message the moderators if you have questions.

[OC] Peryton on Atlantian shores
My daughter found mention of this cryptic in a little board book and sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to figure it out. Tonight she asked me to draw her one (30 min sketch). Heavy winged creatures always flummox me. Given their mythical association with Atlantis I thought coral-like antlers would be a fun twist.
Crab and puffin for scale. Felt cute. Might ink and color eventually.

[LFA] Mittens the Loth cat Tressym
I'm playing a Githzerai wizard in a 5e campaign and she has a Loth cat inspired Tressym. He doesn't have the "chicken legs" of a traditional Loth cat, instead he has normal cat legs that have the same rusty coloured furred covered feet as the fur around his eyes in the sample pic. This rusty coloured fur tips the ears and also extends down the spine and the tips of the wing feathers.
Optional extra: A small, pirate-y hat, kinda puss-in-boots.

[LFA] Fantasy monster for a ttrph setting
As the title says, I'm working on a setting that I may or may not publish (still deciding). In my world there are a species of deerfolk I could use help drawing. "The Drifters are a unique species: They have the bodies of Sika deer with the heads of gnomes or elves, as well 3 sets of very muscular arms that grow from their backs. Only the males have antlers" I could use art for a warrior (back 2 sets of arms holding shields, front set holding a polearm) and a druid (growing moss and vines from antlers, holding a variety of staves and vine-whips).
Edit: dagnabit, I misspelled the title
