Gave into the temptation of doodling out one of the creatures that has been haunting me, and also the temptation of the case of coloring pencils that have been lying on my shelf. Didn't quite achieve what I was going for, coloring-wise, but tbf I never use pencils so doing shiny skin & iridescence was probably biting off more than I could chew anyway.

Febumon day 28, "tardigrades". Last line left to draw, and a very belated realization that they're known as water bears, not space bears like I thought. Which makes a lot of sense because that's pretty much what we call them in Dutch. Oh well, the space theme still makes (some) sense with their resilience and stuff.

Febumon day 27, "vampire mosquitos". Instead of taking the obvious route and basing my vampire monsters on bats, I made them mosquitos instead. Because obviously I needed more bugs in the line-up.

Febumon day 26, "fire jackalopes". Starting as a rabbit and becoming increasingly hare-like, these guys are the last line of preexisting designs I have for this project. Fun, though.

Febumon day 25, "ore pangolins". I actually have these in my files as "lava lamp pangolins" but at some point I added some rocky pre-evolutions to the line and just... didn't update their name. I guess.

Febumon day 24, "multi-head dogs". Probably not the most creative idea, to go from dog to orthrus to cerberus, but it is a fun one!

Febumon day 23, "nudibranch dogs". Made the kind of spontaneous decision to make the 'cape' on the Evolved stage longer than the Basic instead of shorter like I had planned, and I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it...

Febumon day 22, "cable tangle rat king". Another line where I had only the basic concept, and no idea how to convey it, let alone how to break it down into separate evolutionary stages. Also wow this was entirely too many things to draw, I really lost the plot on some of these rats.

Febumon day 21, "Time Trio - Present". Last legendary, and it's the one with the least settled design of all six. While Past and Future had older designs I liked, I had nothing of the sort for Present. I also had a hard time picking animals to base it on. But, overall, I am kinda digging where this ended up.

Febumon day 20, "roadkill badgers". An older line whose designs remain basically unaltered, but I keep making small tweaks to their shapes and proportions. Just can't settle on them. >.>

Febumon day 19, "assorted single-stages #2". The second set of unrelated single-stages slapped together on one page. One is a bunch of crystals held together by a spirit, the other is a hummingbird with a trumpet for a beak. Fun times!

Febumon day 18, "iceberg teeth". Another line of object-based monsters, and another line I (for some reason) drew super tiny. Boo. I definitely need to play around with their colors (and the design of the Advanced, at least) to get them to convey their typing correctly, but I do think the Basic turned out kind of fun.

Febumon day 17, "bipedal running dragons" / "runner wyverns". The Advanced stage is technically a recycled design (with some minor tweaks) but the rest are all new to fill in its evolutionary line. I think they're pretty fun!

Febumon day 16, "assorted single-stages #1". I had four regular single-stages left to draw this month, so I combined them in two sets of two to try and fit the last lines within this month. These are "reversed skeleton", a ghostly creature who seems to have been flipped upside down upon animation, and "cockatrice gargoyle", a cockatrice-shaped gargoyle who spits flammable oil instead of water.

Febumon day 15, "gingerbread baba yaga hut". Deciding to add (more) object-based monsters is all fun and games until you have to freehand draw a house. Also drew these really tiny for no good reason which didn't help with keeping the detail readable.

Febumon day 14, "golden eagles". I didn't think to keep a specific line apart for Valentine's day today, but RNG got me the third and final starter set, which is at least somewhat appropriate. Maybe.
Anyway, I think I like these best of the three starter sets (so far anyway). Which might be because I actually had some idea of how these would progress & change along the way, instead of just "it's a sheep for 4 stages".
