Fantastic Beasts-Prompt submissions (Patreon)

You guys killed this one. So many different styles and mediums! I love that. 

I call mine "Crossroads Joe." I'll be doing a process video about the piece. But the basic idea was to do a medieval/early renaissance style dragon but make it American. The way that they would come up with dragons and fantastic beasts was by combining different animal features. A lion mixed with a snake mixed with an eagle for example. So I did that but I used animals that live in the American southwest in the desert. Coyote, different types of  lizards and of course a bat. It sounds super lame and "artsy" but through the course of the process of painting ol' Crossroads I felt these different animals represented different parts of me. More on that in the video though.

 For now:

Here's your submissions!!

I'm including people's instagrams so be sure to follow each other on social media and all that stuff.

Brenda's unicorn on toned paper I absolutely Love the color and how it pops of the page. Also look at that great shape design. I want to ride on its back through the mists of Avalon.

Tia killed it again with a 3D piece. She actually combined the last Found Object prompt with this prompt. This started out as a very happy looking doll. I love Venus fly traps. and after mine died recently I can't help but feel like this is her reencarnated.

Katrin uses a lot of the texture techniques that I'm a fan of. She found  interesting fantastic beasts in there. I like how she defines them just enough to communicate what she sees, but keeps the abstract quality of the textures and processes.
