Fun fact! Your second cryptid isn’t actually derivative of the Windigo at all! The idea of the deer antlers is a misconception derived from tourist traps appropriating the original Indigenous tales for profit. The actual Windigo is described as an emaciated and pale human Also you should definitely make a sequel to this, loved these drawings
Is there a way to make a character _INSPIRED_ on a wendigo without it being cultural appropriation? I was thinking about making a character with a skull on its head, glowing eyes and anthropomorfic proportions. Its body is made out of wood and mane out of leaves and it protects the forest. Is this cultural appropriation? Thanks.
@@gone9820 As long as you don’t call it a Windigo, and just treat it as a character design of your own, then I would say no. You’re just taking inspiration from art you saw. However, I am not the person to ask. If you want a real answer, I would either ask an anthropologist, or someone who practices the traditions that the creature comes from
@@gone9820 Personally (as a non-Native who has read up on the legend out of curiosity), I would say that it is *certainly* not appropriation. A Wendigo in folklore can be either the spirit, or the actual possessed human. The spirit is representative of Winter and the tolls that it can take to drive one to cannibalism, as well as one's own greed taking a hold of them. Meanwhile the humans possessed are isolatory and indiscriminate in who they hunt, from the bones of the elderly to the flesh of the young, and have what is effectively an addiction. In every (horror) interpretation they are gaunt and bony, and some Native interpretations the body will grow in height proportionally to their hunger, some even needing to feast on human flesh weekly. They are greedy in nature as well, and one example I read stated that they would tear down forests for their own gain. Then again, that one may have been in response to Colonialism. One of the biggest reasons why it's such a thing to fear is how those without restraint can become a wendigo, and that despirate times will birth them. As a result, it enforces community cooperation and structure. The modern appearance may have also come from the Witigo, which is very similar but instead comes from attempting to become too strong (or eating bug eggs, if I remember right), and had deer features. This cryptid I haven't researched. But this is what I read online so far (will update once I read the text), the first written description of the modern Wendigo design comes from the book _The Wendigo_ by _Algernon Blackwood_, as well as the Wendigo in _Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark_. Likewise, yours is obviously not with bad intent as it protects instead of hunts and is a nature protector. As a result, as long as you don't give it the original/derivative names then I would say that you are good. Go wild with your lore! (Also, may I ask where I can read more on this eventually? I'm quite curious on wanting to read up on it more.)
I think what most people think of as a wendigo is actually a creature from Scandinavian (I’m not sure exactly where) folklore called a leshe (I believe that’s how you spell it).
@@anad.6896 I’m pretty sure Leshy/Leshen/Leshe are similarly humanoid, just like temperamental forest giants. The Leshy from the Witcher has a deer skull added on, maybe to tie in with the original Leshy’s hunting associations? I know very little about Northern European stuff, I just did a quick google search and remember fighting the Leshy in Mh World (I also think Monstrum did an episode on the Leshy awhile ago)
I’m not sure if anyone else read this, but when I was a kid I read one of the short stories in a book called campfire weenies or something like that. There was a genie creature that was connected to a necklace that the main character bought. The genie took silver for payment and so the main character wished for a silver candlestick or something but the genie thing took one link off of her necklace every day. She could either wait for it to strangle her or take the necklace off and get killed by the genie. It really messed me up for a while as a kid
Tbh I’d love if you turned this into a series! I love cryptids and your art is so satisfying to watch it’s so cool to watch you create some creatures of your own! My favorite one is definitely the Moonslayer :00
Happy Halloween Folks! 🎃 A big thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring this video! The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/pricklyalpaca10211
What a fantastic idea for a video! I would love to see more of these! It's always so cool to see you draw something monstrous and horrifying. The Moonslayer is definitely the scariest, and I really enjoy the injuries all over its body. My favorite, though, has to be the Borsog because it is just so darn cute. Have a happy Halloween!
I’d love to see more videos like this! I love hearing the lore and then seeing the designs as they’re being made, all of them are so interesting to me. I especially love the Borsog! I looked down in the description and I saw a Silent Hill song so here’s another recommendation, Silent Hill Monsters. I think you’d do a really great job at making some!
All of these drawing were amazing, and you should defiantly do a part two! As for little bits of lore and stuff I bet that while the other two might have murderous intentions and whatnot, the last is one probably pretty innocent, and not intentionally trying to hurt you, so when it’s happy it sneezes, or licks you, or some other disease-spreading-thing
Walla Walla is in eastern Washington, a colt is a baby (I think specifically male) horse Also, I think it would be cool if you made some ocean-themed eldritch horrors if that wouldn't freak you out too much
I would absolutely love to see this as a series! My favourite of all of them would have to be the Borsog because it’s so cute! But I think it would be super scary to see the moonslayer in real life
i feel like the Borsog is just wanting in attention but also dosent wnat to get people sick, like its too cute to be evil... oh no i fell for its cuteness
This was so good! Seeing people take randomised ideas and apply them to something that I already like the concept of is honestly so cool and you smashed it. They were both creepy and well thought out!
i love your character designs! my profile picture is actually kinda a cryptid oc of mine(his human form) and i also drew his animal form- he’s a deer/cougar but he has 4 eyes because it’s fun to draw 😎 Cryptids are so cool and i love how you can make such awesome art from a prompt generator
These were so cool! Though I've got to admit, when I saw 'Time Manipulation' my brain went to that feeling when you're in a nightmare and can't seem to move fast enough. So when you encounter the cryptid time seems to move slower around you so you're forced to watch as this massive thing just calmly steps towards you with seemingly no way to escape fast enough, your eyes locked with it's own. spooky
Oh yeah horses have like gendered names: A Foal is just a baby horse in general, a colt is a baby male, and a filly is a baby female. A filly becomes a Mare after about a year in age, or when they have their first foal. A colt becomes a Stallion at around 3 years of age. A Gelding is a male horse that been neutered, which is usually done before they turn 3. I unfortunately have this knowledge because not only did I used to do competitive horse jumping, but my agriculture class in high school required us to memorize the different gendered labels of farm animals.
I live in Colorado and I feel like no one ever talks about it so when you said Colorado I got so exited! Love the new video and this would be cool as a series
Just want to note that the Wendigo is not really a cryptid. It is a monster from Algonquin mythology. It's not a creature that a bunch of people believed they saw and then became an urban legend. It is a monster that is used to explore greed in Native American myths, similar to a dragon in Germanic mythology. Cryptids generally lack the moral significance of monsters, although some monsters certainly started out as cryptids. On the flip side, the forms of monsters are a lot more variable. The "antlered man" idea of the Wendigo derives from tourist traps. Most of the indigenous depictions of the Wendigo more closely resemble what we would think of as a ghoul: an emaciated, pale human or humanoid (sometimes with a creepy glowing heart). They don't usually have any animal features at all. A white person who profits off of appropriating indigenous culture, such as the people who run those tourist traps, is often called a "Wendigo".
great video as allways! Loved the creatures and especially the lore you have written for them! Videowise I found the editing in the beginning to be really cool and it got me in the mood for some cryptid storys :0
I loved this video so much!! I thought your designs were super cool and creative and the use of the rando generators was brilliant!! Personally this video inspired me a lot, which means very much to me as I’ve been in an art rut lately. I’d personally love to see more of these kind of videos, especially if you did some sort of draw-along thing that your viewers could participate in if they wanted!!
Ok so the first cryptid is fun because I’m like 8 minutes in and I was thinking to myself “hmm edgartown sounds familiar. And it’s in Massachusetts? I wonder if I’ve been there?” Because I visit my relatives in Massachusetts every summer. SO WHEN I HEARD MARTHAS VINEYARD I WAS ECSTATIC! Because that is one of our usual stops during the summer!! Beautiful place! If you’re every near I recommend taking a ferry over.
I love your videos, this one was so creative and cool! I really enjoyed you designing these cryptids and the lore you made for them was so creative. I would love to see this random spooky generation and lore become a series. Also I’m in love with your video editing style and fashion style! I would love to see more spooky art videos, sketchbook sessions and a tour of your amazing room/studio. Your content is so awesome and something I always look forward to! 😄
I love this so much! Please do more, I would really enjoy watching more creature designs from you. Your design work is so much fun to watch. p.s. your glasses and lipstick combined with your hair look beautiful. p.s.s. I also live 30 min from Ypsi and just love the thought of the bat cryptid roaming around the area. Well done.
I thought of a cryptic recently, I haven't gotten alot of story behind it yet, and I hate the early design, but I'm going to say what I do have so far. So, thiscryprid will show up in office buildings but will oy appear to you if you have a job there. So, people that believe it exists, instead of going cryptid searching searching in the middle of the woods, they'll have to get office jobs just to see of it happens to show up. Also, I currently have eyless jack and a random cat flying around on my phone.
First one: Fantasy fantastic! Second: I’m not sleeping tonight Third: awwwwwww Amazing vid! I’m actually working on a story with criptids being the main focus! Happy spooky season! Stay safe!
I too have a crippling existential fear of the ocean. I didn't realize it until playing Sea of Thieves and becoming like, just unnecessarily anxious while swimming underwater and looking out at the deep ocean 🤣💀
Being from Michigan i can totally see the Borsog existing here. the little guy flying around the cold fall nights into the freezing winters. absolutely!!
when I heard the mention on a bit of the struggle of the dimension hopping for the moon slayer I actually thought of something, basically combining the idea of the death defier and the dimension hopping to some degree The idea is is that if the creature sustains enough damage, it "hops" in order for it's pursuers to lose track of it due to it's sudden disappearance as it heals it's injuries. This could explain why nobody has been able to catch it and why it is always so elusive, it's because not only does it use it's hopping for transportation and as a way to capture it's prey, but to also sneak in the shadows and escape from hunters when neccessary just something I thought of and wanted to share
I came up with my own cryptid called the moss walker who lives in woodland areas in Indiana and Illinois and likes to just wander around the forest making funky sounds and taming birds or feeding them. They have a coyote skull for a head with a crest of vulture feathers similar to a cockatiel's as well curious glowing yellow eyes with round pupils that grow and shrink according to emotions ( like toothless's from how to train your dragon) and the wear moss cloaks and they have black fur with dark green edges that makes their fur look layered . They bring good luck to those who leave food or shelter out for it. They bring these people a few feathers they found or shiny rocks. If people try to hunt them or trap them they will cause some of there things to randomly disappear such as keys or small things or phones but they always return the items about 2 hours layer. Others get bad luck for a while. They have the abilities to grant good or bad luck to those who deserve it as well as being able to make small things disappear for a short period of time. They can also mimic birds and make moss and ferns grow. They have the ability to tell if someone is good or bad and they also can help those who are in trouble such as being lost in the woods. They have no need to eat but they like sweet wild berries, wild flowers, rabbits, squirrels, and small animals and even chickens they steal from some urban homes. They will help lost hikers, or people in need like homeless folk. They fear stink bugs, wasps, and overall bugs other than, moths, butterflies, fireflies, and etc but mostly they fear stink bugs and cicadas. They love to jump in leaf piles in the fall and they like to dig in trash cans looking for food like a raccoon. They are a bit taller than a human and they are fluffy yet spooky. They sleep in a den similar to fox dens, or bird nests. They can walk on 2 legs or 4. They only become aggressive if in danger, angered, annoyed, or cornered. They can coo like a pigeon and they like birds a lot. They like to keep the birds they feed under there moss cloak. They like to play with others of there kind and they don't reproduce they appear when A coyote dies and moss grows onto the skull and vultures pick meat off the bones leaving feathers behind. Then when the moon shines on the moss covered skull of the bones the bones will reanimate and flesh and fur will appear over the bones except the skull. Then two yellow or orange eyes will open and and the moss walker will use there powers to make a moss cloak to and then they will wear the moss cloak and continue their life . Moss walkers have no private areas and they have just an empty space covered by fur. There are very few because of the specific circumstances and they have to form naturally in the woods . this is all i came up with for now so yeah maybe I'll draw them and put it on my youtube channel.
This was such a cool video, I'll maybe gonna try it myself 😊 I really like the fact that your content kind of shift from time to time. Make me wanna come back every time ( Your look is so tasty btw 😎) It would really be fun to see this again ☺️
Just watched your “finding your style” video and everything that happened to you also happened to me like the drawing on website games! I’d love to be able to be friends with someone who is like me and my weirdness too ha ha!
@@PricklyAlpaca thx! I remember hearing about that being an original power of Dracula, and swooping out of dark woods to grab skiers on moonlit slopes came to mind
I would love if you story+speedpaint kinda thing you tell the backstory of something type of dark story you can up with. I've seen Jazza and Lavendertown do similar things
That last little crytid looks cute!! I don't want to sound like you did bad bc you honestly didn't! I just wanna say if you put the bat wings on its back and made the surrounding area all skin-ish with like pursing veins and warts/blemishes it would have gave it a more creepy plague-y look but make it cute was honestly the best choice for it
The last cryptid in the intro (The aquatic one jumping out of the water with a man saying "Oh my god") could be one of the long-thought extinct plesiosaurs? coelacanths were thought to be extinct, but they were found. Why not a plesiosaur? the one hole in my theory is that it looks a bit too small...but they could've evolved to be smaller over time. Tell me in the replies what you think
Fun fact! Your second cryptid isn’t actually derivative of the Windigo at all! The idea of the deer antlers is a misconception derived from tourist traps appropriating the original Indigenous tales for profit. The actual Windigo is described as an emaciated and pale human

I can Imagine the second cryptid talking to his victims and this spook me out.
I’m going to be real I was thinking about the second one while I was trying to sleep lol
@@Magpie_Thistle lmaoooo
I feel like the second one when he sees hunters or people he would stare at them and make a weird noise then teleport to them
@Sinead O'Neill i mean he has the height
endermen vibes
@@nithbell i was gonna say that lol
fun fact: some genie stories involve peoples wishes being granted but they unknowingly pay a price or something bad happens in exchange for the wish
Like hanako the bathroom ghost
I think something that’s similar to that is the monkeys paw. It grants you your wish but it also takes something from you.
I’m not sure if anyone else read this, but when I was a kid I read one of the short stories in a book called campfire weenies or something like that.

Ima actually use this idea for world building, my world has been lacking the amount supernatural and superstition that I want lol
Walla Walla is in eastern Washington, a colt is a baby (I think specifically male) horse

Oh yeah horses have like gendered names:
A Foal is just a baby horse in general, a colt is a baby male, and a filly is a baby female. A filly becomes a Mare after about a year in age, or when they have their first foal.

The borsog is my favorite. It’s so cute!
These were awesome! I really liked the demon/plague form of the last cryptid!
AHHH THE INTRO GIVING ME SUCH STRANGER THINGS VIBES I FREAKING LOVE IT
i love all these guys!! especially the last one, hes just a little guy who causes problems on purpose
I freaking love the Borsog so much!
Borsog gotta be the worst one for me. the threat of illness is terrifying (and not just b/c of covid times)
Same the lil guy freaks me out and I designed him
it’s nice to find someone who’s also terrified of the ocean
I live in Colorado and I feel like no one ever talks about it so when you said Colorado I got so exited! Love the new video and this would be cool as a series

Can we just talk about how awesome that intro was
First one: Fantasy fantastic!
Second: I’m not sleeping tonight
Third: awwwwwww
Amazing vid! I’m actually working on a story with criptids being the main focus! Happy spooky season! Stay safe!
I'm 2 years late but please make it a series 🙏 love the creatures and their designs ❤
I too have a crippling existential fear of the ocean. I didn't realize it until playing Sea of Thieves and becoming like, just unnecessarily anxious while swimming underwater and looking out at the deep ocean 🤣💀
PLEASEEE MAKE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS 😭
thank you for mentioning moth man, so far i only know 1 (one) person who is aware of his existence and he only knows about him because of fallout
Being from Michigan i can totally see the Borsog existing here. the little guy flying around the cold fall nights into the freezing winters. absolutely!!
As a cryptid myself, I'm a really big fan of this idea. It's so cool to see how you combined everything
1:34 I too have Thalassophobia derived from the creatures in body of water rather than the bodies of water themselves
The Moonslayer and Borsog are both my favorite critters.
The first one looks like he needs a hug
Omg these creatures look awesome 🤩 and the last one is just so adorable 😍 love it!
I love the stories
the paws on moonslayer are just YESSSSSSSSS
(love this so much please do more)
oooh I see that Uzumaki manga back there! :-D Awesome creatures!
This is the first video of yours an I can already tell your a funky lady and that am going to love your channel
*wears a quarantine suit to give the borsog some headpats and snacks*

just something I thought of and wanted to share
I came up with my own cryptid called the moss walker who lives in woodland areas in Indiana and Illinois and likes to just wander around the forest making funky sounds and taming birds or feeding them. They have a coyote skull for a head with a crest of vulture feathers similar to a cockatiel's as well curious glowing yellow eyes with round pupils that grow and shrink according to emotions ( like toothless's from how to train your dragon) and the wear moss cloaks and they have black fur with dark green edges that makes their fur look layered . They bring good luck to those who leave food or shelter out for it. They bring these people a few feathers they found or shiny rocks. If people try to hunt them or trap them they will cause some of there things to randomly disappear such as keys or small things or phones but they always return the items about 2 hours layer. Others get bad luck for a while. They have the abilities to grant good or bad luck to those who deserve it as well as being able to make small things disappear for a short period of time. They can also mimic birds and make moss and ferns grow. They have the ability to tell if someone is good or bad and they also can help those who are in trouble such as being lost in the woods. They have no need to eat but they like sweet wild berries, wild flowers, rabbits, squirrels, and small animals and even chickens they steal from some urban homes. They will help lost hikers, or people in need like homeless folk. They fear stink bugs, wasps, and overall bugs other than, moths, butterflies, fireflies, and etc but mostly they fear stink bugs and cicadas. They love to jump in leaf piles in the fall and they like to dig in trash cans looking for food like a raccoon. They are a bit taller than a human and they are fluffy yet spooky. They sleep in a den similar to fox dens, or bird nests. They can walk on 2 legs or 4. They only become aggressive if in danger, angered, annoyed, or cornered. They can coo like a pigeon and they like birds a lot. They like to keep the birds they feed under there moss cloak. They like to play with others of there kind and they don't reproduce they appear when A coyote dies and moss grows onto the skull and vultures pick meat off the bones leaving feathers behind. Then when the moon shines on the moss covered skull of the bones the bones will reanimate and flesh and fur will appear over the bones except the skull. Then two yellow or orange eyes will open and and the moss walker will use there powers to make a moss cloak to and then they will wear the moss cloak and continue their life . Moss walkers have no private areas and they have just an empty space covered by fur. There are very few because of the specific circumstances and they have to form naturally in the woods . this is all i came up with for now so yeah maybe I'll draw them and put it on my youtube channel.
Misheard you and thought you said "on particularly fucking mornings" for the beautiful bat boi
I’m late but I would love to see this become a series
a dumpster would make a good creepy hiding place 😝
YooHOOO this is sooo coool! sparked an idea for next weeks video of mine. As someone who adores creatures It will be hella fun to tackle this!
I would love a sequel!
OMG i Love this Perfect for the Halloween Mood ! 🎃👌
This was such a cool video, I'll maybe gonna try it myself 😊 I really like the fact that your content kind of shift from time to time. Make me wanna come back every time ( Your look is so tasty btw 😎)
It would really be fun to see this again ☺️
Ok, but can we appreciate how GORGEOUS they (idk you're pronouns I'm sorry) look in EVERY video????
Just watched your “finding your style” video and everything that happened to you also happened to me like the drawing on website games! I’d love to be able to be friends with someone who is like me and my weirdness too ha ha!
These are awesome. Great job!
HELL YE TIME TO DRAW CRYPTIDS
Is it just me or is the second one just a spooky furry endear man
…that drinks blood
oh man, i've missed a few uploads, time to binge!!! I love these designs so much- your colouring style never fails to amaze me!!
Thank you! ❤️
heck yess!! do more of this
I love this so much
😭 Some of the pics scared me, like jumpscared me
The Moonslayer teleportation could be traveling with moonbeams, like how dracula could walk on them
This is an incredible idea ✨
@@PricklyAlpaca thx! I remember hearing about that being an original power of Dracula, and swooping out of dark woods to grab skiers on moonlit slopes came to mind
Awsome and soo creative!!
Loved this vid. The second is my fave, and scares me the most. ❤️
You're on a roll! >: D
The stories are written really well I loved it :O
Watching this on Halloween 🙂✌🏻
I would love if you story+speedpaint kinda thing you tell the backstory of something type of dark story you can up with. I've seen Jazza and Lavendertown do similar things
the borsog is SO michigan coded
Funny you got an hedgehog, as watching this, my hedgehog is climbing all over my shoulder.
this is such a cool video idea! also the intro was 👌🏻 chefs kiss
I would love this to be a series
I'd be that one cryptid that's behind in the dumpster of a dollar general
The first cryptid kinda looks like a less colorful cryptid from Illinois it's near pere market state park
Spoopy
That last little crytid looks cute!! I don't want to sound like you did bad bc you honestly didn't! I just wanna say if you put the bat wings on its back and made the surrounding area all skin-ish with like pursing veins and warts/blemishes it would have gave it a more creepy plague-y look but make it cute was honestly the best choice for it
The last cryptid in the intro (The aquatic one jumping out of the water with a man saying "Oh my god") could be one of the long-thought extinct plesiosaurs? coelacanths were thought to be extinct, but they were found. Why not a plesiosaur? the one hole in my theory is that it looks a bit too small...but they could've evolved to be smaller over time. Tell me in the replies what you think
the second one very much gives me the vibes of an indie horror game
What the heck is that sea cryptid though also thats why I am scared of the ocean.
Same younger me.
I absolutely love this
Awesome video! I love the Borsog! Will you make merch from it?
Fastest upload thankyou was watching the sketch book session I loved it
HHH THEY TURNED OUT SO COOL I LOVE THEMMM
The image you used at the start of the vid just looks like a goose😂😂😂
