Qique, the 246th Known One.
"There is a bird here on North Shouting Mountain whose form ressembles a chicken but with a white head, rat's feet, and tiger's claws. It is called a Qique. It, too, is a man eater." - Shanhai jing, Guideways Through Mountains and Seas.
first design (no chimken ??)
Qique means Qi-magpie, and somehow i forgot about the chicken while designing it. I still had the original illustration in mind, and i misinterpreted the 2 legs as 2 sets of front and back legs. At the end it looked too much like some kind of griffin and the tail was wrong.. so i chose to just stick to the text with no magpie. I'm still not super satisfied with the design, maybe the right one stands between these two takes

Moropus with four arms please.
#i legit thought moropus was some kind of scifi monster by the name#turns out its a prehistoric mammalian#check 978 for the vanilla moropus#and so i wanted to make it scifiesque#the evolution of the moropus darwin didnt want you to know#again a pun because moropus sounds like “mort aux puces” in french and “puce” means lice#tapir#donkey#bear#moropus#pseudopaleo#evolution#suggestion#gaul-the-unmitigated#chimera#bestiary#monster#creature design#ink#979#octem 123#aer 4#the Unknown
