Finally a situation where my knowledge of mythological creatures comes in handy! Hope you like the challenge! Absolutely LOVE the art btw. I'm a budding young artist myself (love drawing mythic beasties) , and your work is fabulous!

Holy Camoley, wow! Fairly amazing list, Lady Otterwynnd.

I'd request griffons, merfolk, and an evil, walking/moving scarecrow. I've lived among seven or eight foot-tall corn fields every summer of my life. It can be rather eerie, deep within a half-section of tall, scratchy, humid, dense corn rows. Most anything could occur there, within that environment.

well since no1 has said anything about this yet i put my vote in for dragons!!

and great idea Incorrigible1 i hadnt thought of the gryphon

Chimera should leave you with plenty of room for artistic interpretation.

I agree chimera would be awesome
Are you sure you want only ten beasties???I think it owuld be a much better book if there were like,20

werewolves or dog men of michigan

The bogcreeper ... like you have heard of it.

and how bout this little beastie another one of my favs

The Bird of Fire, The Phoenix

I said 10, because I knew I'd be slow with this.

I do not really want to include dragons, gryphons, pheonix... etc. To me those are mythical creatures, not cryptids. Aside that, there is little argument on what a dragon, gryphon, chimera or pheonix look like. I'd rather depict some creatures that are a little less stereotyped.

I draw those creatures a lot though, so If you'd like to see them I've made a new thread here for my artwork.

Dobhar-Chu
Altamaha-ha

Wow ur artwork reminds me alot of the stuff i draw sometimes,especially the dragon ones(dragons are about the only thing i draw ).
Except that yours are alot better

allright then fine but i was going to post some pretty amazing pics i found o well your loss

Wow, there are so many cryptids. I've been looking around online and trying to get a better list of my favirotes, but gosh...its overwhelming.

The Jersey Devil

Thunder birds

Nessie

and my personal favorite, Megalodon

that's all I can think of right now.

Im sorry Maharaja, but I've decided to release for free across the net, which means pop up pictures are out.

Don't tell Harry.

Hajme: Your deviantArt work is really good btw!

Have you ever heard of the Beast Of Gauvaden? (I may have mispelled that) I posted something on it last May or June. Look it up if you are curious about it. Anyway, that would be my fave. That or Mothman. Maybe Nessie.

Uhh... theres already a lot of books like that. Check out Beasts! by Jacob Covey.
But if you're doing a book like that be sure to include Bunnyman and Goatman, maybe even together, killing someone.

-Pol

-mothman

-lockness
Those are pretty cool crypids.

I like the Chupacabra... but so apparently does everyones else.... how about Champy from lake Champlain, or Ogogopogo from Lake Okanagan... both Lochness types.... Also the Wendigo.... Native American foklore there.....

Well, here are the cryptids I would like to read about in a book:

- Bigfoot

- Yeti

- The Florida Skunk Ape

- Mothman

- Megalodon

- Bloop

- Jersey Devil

- El Chupacabra

Any new drawings????

I'd like to seem see some stuff on Megatherium and Megalodon.

Great, but IMO the neck's too bulky.

Anyways, I'd like like to see a Tatzelwurm.

I second the Wendigo

Any new drawings will be welcome
