I started a topic in the cryptozoology forum asking for suggestions for this project, but i think a topic for the development of the ongoing project belongs here.

There are so few artist interpretations of cryptozoological animals and even fewer good ones. At a point where i am now considering what direction i want to push my education in art, i've decided i want to put together a series of illustrations of some of the more popular and illusive mystery animals. I want to put the finished, detailed, high quality images in a book, which will be avalible to buy online.

Here is where i will post some of the conceptual drawings and designs leading up to the finished images. I'm encouraging you to give critique on how you think i should change creatures appearances.

I've started with my personal favourite, El Chupacabra. Here's the pages in the sketchbook so far.
