glad to see people using drakes in their fantasy world i think they are really cool and underated because everybody has dragons but seeing drakes play a significant role in a fantasy world is pretty rare
Personally, I'm reluctant to use drakes because I'm not familiar with their origins. I haven't been able to find a mythological source for them. This gives me the impression that they are purely a fantasy creature. Now, there's really no reason why I can't still use them. Idk, I like using mythological creatures but avoid using creatures from fantasy media like DnD.
Feel like the lesser dragons such as Drakes, Amphipteres, Wyms, and Lindwyms are underutilized compared to the more common ones. So I'm happy to see a drake here.
Love the coastal drake, one suggestion if I may be so bold is flatten its tail somewhat dramatically as most semi aquatic and marine reptiles have dramatically flattened tails and even primarily terrestrial species to include Komodo dragons have slightly flattened tails. Again though the artwork is amazing
Woah, I LOVE the Coastal Drake, looks so Powerful and Vicious! I can't wait to see what a Wyvern and a Full-On Dragon(My #1 favorite Mythical Creature obviously. XD) shall look like! The Mountain Troll looks Brutishly Stronk, I wonder what a swamp troll(maybe has some wolverine frog mixed into its design?) will be like! And the Royal Griffin looks so Epic and Majestic!
I remember a while ago in a fantasy world of mine (That I have abandoned for a new and imo better world project) griffins were essentially different birds with different cats so while there were the traditional eagle and lion there were also griffins like crow and jaguar, owl and tiger, or hornbill and leopard
again love this, i have many species of griffin in my world as well, from ones as small as a Crow/house cat, to the traditional, to various jungle varieties, like a parrot/jaguar, my favorite and in my universe the most deadly owl/tiger, due to its near completely quiet flight.
Wow! Seeing how these went, I'm starting to imagine how you'll take on future fantasy creatures. Maybe a jungle griffin having a tigers body and a harpy eagle's head, just for thought. Keep up the good work.
It would be cool if for the different forms of griffins you did one that's an ambush predator. It could be a peregrine falcon mixed with a panther or a leopard. You could also do one that's a combination of a snow leopard mixed with a snow owl and make that one smaller than the rest.
Since Troll is elephant sized biped, I would recommend giving it thicker hind legs or making it a semi-bipedal creature like a gorilla that usually walks on 4 legs but can rear up when needs to.
I never see any fishlike creatures exept half fishes. Please make a fantasy shark i'd love to see them in a project like this because they have such cool sences like electro reception. They have such big roles and so much potential in a world with fantastical beasts so please i beg of you, use a shark and im definitely watching more of your vids 😁
Maybe the shark could have large horns and spikes on its body it could fire electricity from. It could also have 1000 teeth in 6 rows that all rotate. Just an idea
I am an enthusiast and student of biology and paleontology, fantastic creatures generally leave me very uncomfortable or discouraged, since many only combine absolutely incompatible anatomical traits or the combination of certain things would make it a being in constant pain without being able to move or breathe right (like dragons, wtf, how does that have 6 legs???) or griffins (a total chimera), I became a boring old man. but you do it in a way that even these absurd combinations seem plausible and harmonious in being, great job.
Coastal drake: _Deserted Island battle theme intensifies_ Lovely gryphon, and I agree that unless you have a specific reason for your creature to appear chimeric, its overall design should DEFINITELY involve cohesive, consistent elements across and throughout the body. (Noting, of course, that "I just think it looks neat" _can_ be a specific enough reason in and of itself) In one of my settings, I have a gryphon-like species called the alce, a wingless quadroped with avian features. They sometimes call themselves "birds of the ground", but they do not envy the ability to smaller birds to fly. One of their signature design features is their forked, swallow-like tail (their actual tail being short and stubby, but decorated with a pair of feathered streamers). Males tend to be more "colorful" than females ... um, at least relative to them not having much color variation to begin with.
Awesome designs! On the idea of different type of griffin, there is a breed o hunting dogs called "Griffon", and About marina iguanas: since they ingest so much salt it filters through their blood and goes to glands in their nostrils, which will expel the salt like a sneeze.
Ooo a sub species of the griffin could be based on a harp eagle with shorter wings so it can reverse heavily forested areas easier just like the harpy Eagle
Really cool designs. Idk yet if I'll use drakes at all in my fantasy world. I plan to use trolls, but I need to make them distinct from ogres. My current thought is to make trolls hairy.
Since coastal drake is a more marine animal and spends a large portion of its day in water hunting whales, I believe asian water monitor Would've been a better inspiration than komodo dragon since asian water monitors are more aquatic than komodo dragons(which are more land based). Also since you mentioned hunting whales, a larger mouth Would've been more helpful in delivering a powerful bite to the round body of a whale. Komodo dragons have mouths designed to bite the legs or neck (for small animals like deer and goat) but not more round body of a whale. But I think the huge size will help him make up for it.
Will the other species of Griffin be the Valravn from Danish mythology, or Hieracosphinx Egyptian mythology witch is a bird headed sphinx, or the normal Greek Griffin?
I think you should follow Monster Hunter design Philosophy, considering that you wasn't new to Monster Hunter franchise. The design ethics is their ecology. Anjanath Sail was used for thermo-regulation and it's weird extensions of the nose was used to help the animal sense of smell, Anjanath also Sneeze which they used to mark their territory. They also overall anjanath is one of my favorite monster design, it's a literal living modern paleoart like seriously, modern paleoart is very speculative with art depicting dinosaurs doing goffy thing or having an very awkward soft tissue structure. Same with Anjanath he had an awkward soft tissue structure and also feathers! But if you just want cool fantasy, I don't mind it.
Joshhh Man , the art and the lore is going crazy , ill lov to contribute my parts and ideas: what bout the mythical creature hydra , a swampy marshy terrain creature which regenerates its heads and died when ignited [fire weakness] a poisonous snake like creature poison breathing
I'd like to see a biosynthetic komodo dragon with the primary genetic makeup of an alligator and the chromosomes of both a cockroach a tardigrade and a himalayan griffin vulture and genetically megasize to make it 50 foot large

Just got home from work and am watching it now
You should do Quetzalcoatl using the Peregrine Falcon, Milk Snakes, and Gila Monsters as references
Im actually working on a creature rn that I’m using a Gila monster as one of the references for
In the future, maybe the hypogriff is a good candidate for your world, because it’s kind of like a griffin but with horse legs instead
Griffin + horse = hippogriff
I remember a while ago in a fantasy world of mine (That I have abandoned for a new and imo better world project) griffins were essentially different birds with different cats so while there were the traditional eagle and lion there were also griffins like crow and jaguar, owl and tiger, or hornbill and leopard
Griffins are the bane of my existence when drawing birdlike creatures

Imagine a griffin from the jungle that have a similar color palette to parrots like the Ara
So many seem to forgett, that there were really smart trolls in norse myth.

Btw I agree for the last comment so yeah umm….. boo furries. Yay
A dwarf or Pygmy griffon would be rlly cool to see
The costal drake is wey wey to cool for shcool!!!!
Should def plan an ASA/ASE creature design series

@@TESplayer8811 of course, i hear this fella sing around my house everyday, its very good.
@@HagdoBr cool Bro
All these monsters would make for a great fantasy style mh game tbh.
So it was a troll 🧌. And the other beast? The giant snake?
That giant snake is gonna be in the next one. Haven’t finished up its bestiary lore entry yet
@@JoshWhiteMonsterManiathe next video is this week?
He did the behemoth so it must be the Laviathan
Dude, I love the videos and the world you're building!
Thanks!
Those trolls have textile skills to make that loin cloth. Or some sort of thinking skills to think that they need one.
Capcom should hire you to creature design for the next monster hunter game!
You should make a fungus creature that would be quite cool

Im a big fan of the griffin design that mixes secretary birds and cheetahs i think you might enjoy it as a smaller subspecies of griffin in the world
I actually loved this new look of the Griffin and it looks like a species of dragon if you know what I mean.
The griffin's feat appears a Little draconic To Me, anyone Else see ti?
all hail Glaurung the first and father to all Dragons
SECOND
Can’t wait for THIS❤
Ooo a sub species of the griffin could be based on a harp eagle with shorter wings so it can reverse heavily forested areas easier just like the harpy Eagle
I'd really like to see the griffin's beak extend into a hard crest
I love ur videos so much
Thanks
Creature Design- Chimeras, Manticores and Knucker Dragons
“Drake! You can’t date her, she’s 13” would be a crazy species name
Nah that crazy
2 things:
1) Amazing drawing! 1 subscriber closer to 10k!
2) What drawing platform do you use?
Thanks! I use procreate
On a drawing tablet or freehand?
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Desert drakew are gonna get based off of thorny dragons and armadillo lizards
currently binging your channel after being recommend the Herbivores and Wyverns video 🩷🩷🩷 your content is so well thought and inspiring, I'm in awe

Havent decided yet. Gotta do some research and animal study to figure out what route I wanna go with it
Fun fact, Drake actually means Dragon when translated.
The drake kinda looks like a Godzilla monster
you should make a book of all your creatures
Thats the plan
you should do a quetzalcoatl
If you decide to design a desert drake at some point, may I recommend the 'thorny devil' lizard as a reference
Can you do manticore,harpy,kelpie next
This looks like arks new creature named the fasalosuchus and it looks cool to

i will love to have a miniature to paint of your coastal drake
there's also the hippogryph, half horse, half falcon. could be a subspecis?
Joshhh Man , the art and the lore is going crazy , ill lov to contribute my parts and ideas:
what bout the mythical creature hydra , a swampy marshy terrain creature which regenerates its heads and died when ignited [fire weakness] a poisonous snake like creature poison breathing
You’ve probably had this question before, but which brushes do you use for painting/shading?
All i use are the basic airbrush tools for these sketches
Hello
Bonjour
Any advice on drawing monsters? I do have some experience but its about mid level drawings
Dragons
Make it happen
These are awesome! What software do you use for this? Is it Procreate or Photoshop or something?
Procreate
Do you mind if u ask what app you use for making these absolute works of art❤
Hey can you make a griffin that's part pelican and part grizzly/Kodiak bear?
Im asking myself what creatures may be skilled, daring or even just crazy enough to pray on a griffins hatchlings...
Are you gonna do any like desert trolls or jungle trolls
There will be trolls for most biome types. Haven’t decided how many yet
Drake = Megalania
could you draw more herbivores, frugivores or even insectivores?
Yea ill come up with some creatures like that
Can you do fenrir next
What if you made a what if Bakugan were in monster hunter
First
Second off.Can't wait to see what comes up Man appreciate your art👍
Make a game with all of your creatures please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Which of the creatures you’ve made is the strongest in your opinion? In
Prolly the boreal dragon just because of its overall size, ability to fly, and frost breath
What program do you use?
Procreate
what brush do you use
All i use is the pencil tool and airbrush tools for these sketches.
I'd like to see a biosynthetic komodo dragon with the primary genetic makeup of an alligator and the chromosomes of both a cockroach a tardigrade and a himalayan griffin vulture and genetically megasize to make it 50 foot large
Could you add a human for size reference please?
Can you please keep doing monster Hunter Pokemon
Ark referencias 2:55
what is the program
Procreate
Bro should talk with ark
and make different colors of the same species of griffin
well can you add dragons and whale sharks
Can I use your art for my game
Well this stuff I’m creating is for my own personal project so it’s not up for use by others
I never knew it liked children
