Description
All done straight on paper with Ballpoint Pen. Pentel RSVP is awesome.------
Oh my god I just realized I'm posting stuff LOLYAYWTF.
I also Photoshopped nipples out, hoping DA won't hassle me about it later.
Some Commentary from Top to Bottom (If anyone bothers reading):
- I want that wolf thing as a pet.
- The cat in the top corner like... has no neck, I just realized.
- Centaurish woman reminds me of barbie. A really really messed up barbie.
- The deer with the flat face... I don't know wtf I was thinking... Also, I have no idea how saddles are supposed to look.
- Winged angel thing is a creature from Ragnarok Online.
- Skull puppy is cute X3
- So is the wingless spotted griffon thing with multiple tails
- That thing with the saddle... I think that's one of my favorites. I wouldn't want to ride it though. It'd kill me.
- LOL FISH D:<
- Bunny-eared Long-neck thing has a really really weird neck. o_O and is beginning to creep me out.
- GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS. ...Wait... wtf happened to all my guy sketches...?
- Ricehat guy riding a ... I still don't know. It's way too tall. *cuts legs off*
- Wolf-Cat-Tiger-Spider thing creeps me out but I love it
(Well... 2 legs short of a spider but ...meh~)
Oh yeah, and download for full view.

Your creatures are amazing. If you are a writer, you could probably write about a world with these creatures, and that might end up as interesting a world as China MiΓ©ville's Bas-Lag .
There is only one problem with the creature designs: variety. There are some features that figure into several creatures' designs, which makes them seem more similar. For example, the skull face is very common. Bare and/or visible teeth is another. Some of the stripes and spots on their backs are repeated as well, and that often makes me think they are somehow reptilian.
However, your skill with the pen is outstanding, and you have a clear understanding of anatomy. I admire you for both of those skills.
Lastly, I must thank you for posting this. It has inspired me to continue working on my own creatures and world, and try to make design sketches as interesting, clear and accurate as yours.

*SilentReaper delivers yet again, with one of the best collections of "sketches" that I've seen from her to date.
I put quotations around "sketches" because I simply do not believe that these are worthy of the title.
The creatures drawn seem to pop out of the page, and the people seem so lively, each with their own personality. With nothing but a pen, Emily adds depth and character to her sketches, without overdoing it.
She has the ability to give life to creatures which seem so unlikely to exist, but I can't help but feel that such a thing just might be alive somewhere in this world, or another.
With so many individual pieces of art it's difficult to give a solid rating. But it's such a lively group of amazing beings, how can I not rate 5 stars on originality? Honestly, a bug cat? While creepy, I cannot deny that these sketches, while not all of them are original ideas, all have the *SilentReaper look and feel to them.
As far as sketches go, these are clean and well-shaded, without overdoing it (especially considering the tools used). Excellent use of hatching, and amazing work with creating textures.

The fact that you did all this in Ball Point pen is beyond amazing! You've taken a medium I've always considered to be inflexible and too difficult for more than "ok I'm bored" sketches and English assignments, and you've produced an amazing collage of fantastical creatures with it. Your imagination has populated a page with uncannily well shaded creatures and beautiful human beings. You've displayed a firm grip on human anatomy as well as the ability to invent new and exotic creatures that are simultaneously believable, cute, and creepy. Well done!
(and my personal fave is that tauress, very cute)

The first thought that came in my mind from just a glance of this was that game design could use people like this. This is a large variety of creatures, yet they all seem to fit together well in the same world. In an RPG you would expect to fight 5 or 6 of the same creature with different colored exteriors, but this artist has managed to put a game's worth of quadripeds in one submission, along with several mounts and even pets. Each one is a very distinct species, and the details show a lot of care on each of them, particularly scales and patterning exhibited on nearly every one of them.
Naturally, there are a few that have been done before, though I find it hard to draw something that hasn't been done before these days, but it's a sketch collection, so I find it hard to consider that any kind of issue. The women are what I would expect from this artist, simple and vibrant, refreshing to look at. The poses, particularly the 3 surrounding skullface in the bottom left, are all in mid-motion, which is always more interesting to look at and more difficult to accomplish. to And in skullface's case, unexpectedly creepy.
In the end, I found myself staring at this for quite some time, and I think it's a very good source of reference and inspiration for others.

This is just amazing. I have to say, even is your StupidFox comics are adorable, I simply love the other things you draw, they are ASTOUNDING<3 I just think that the creatures are so original, really, I have never seen anything similar to them. And you handle anatomy so well! It's clear in the way you are able to play with it

Here I love Stupidfox and have already decided to watch you and you blow me away with this. The art is awesome here but its the imagination that gets me! You've managed to make monsters that aren't cliche but decidedly original and awe inspiring and make me yearn for the fantasy world they inhabit. Where's my fanhat? I'm yours!

You are so talented and all of your drawings are so inspiring *0* these would be great in a sci-fi movie/book

This is extremely impressive. EXTREMELY.
...
But sadly, you've pretty much completely destroyed any confidence that I ever had in my drawings. Thanks a lot. JERK.

I love how you mix animals together o3o makes it interesting to look at.
π: 0 β©: 0
Also- I don't think your animals have too many similar traits. Part of being an artist is enjoying to draw certain features. Every person has their own style.

Your art skills are amazing! I couldn't come anywhere near these sketches. They're so beautiful.
I really love the skeleton fish thingy. I would so get one if they were real

I don't have Premium Membership so I can't write a Critique so I'll write what I'd like to say as a comment instead (sorry)
I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your creatures, some of them are as if you have drawn them right out of my imagination as I often come up with creatures in my writings and I can picture them crystal clear and decribe them well but I fail spectacularly at drawing them.
I did find a trend in your drawings, skull face, bared teeth, markings and a reptilian resembelance did carry through several of the them but I dont see that as a negative thing, if anything it helps to sujest that they are all from the same area/planet/country/story or the same evoloutionary line even.
I reallly would love to see what you could come up with if I were to provide you with a description of some of the creatures I have created as your penmanship is stunning. Your attention to detail and understanding of anatomy is also clearly evidant.

I think the character designer of Avatar should've seen some of these. They're really great, neat lines too.

Awesome creatures. I love the spider-cat thing at the bottom. The girl walking the little monster dog thing, and the creature with bunny ears and antlers are also both very cool.
