Description
I put this tile together to illustrate the continuing evolution of the style within Project Cryptid. The original versions are to the left, the Current versions to the right; the original versions are from around 2004 or '05, I think... my sense of time isn't the greatest. When I first started it was a lazy thing to do and the process showed- dragging mouse, two-three colors, sloppy. All they were for was my own visual aid. Over the years both the quality and style have improved greatly. These are examples of the most apparent.

Ahool
The description said a "monkey with bat wings" so that was exactly what I made. It looks like a teddy bear . In the recent update a more active pose was chosen and more colors were added (more colors were added to all of them). It now combines features of both monkey and bat, the wings look more like wings, although the hands could still use some work.

Altamaha-ha
I did a terrible job of interpreting the reports and ended up with a demon-dolphin. The update leaves something to be desired and is missing the fluked tail but more closely resembles the reported animal.

Bunyip
Oh no, it's a beaver ! This was one of the first redraws that I did and I actually did it twice because the first redo looked like a regular platypus.

Loveland Frogman
I used the same design for the Cavney Carcass so it's out of order, sue me. Redone to actually look like a frogman.

Con-Rit
How do you design an enormous centipede? not like the pipe cleaner on the left. This was one of my more self-anticipated redraws and now i wouldn't change a thing.

Dohbor-Chu
Mommy, get the evil gerbil away from me ! It took me longer than I wanted to to finish this particular one but the result was infinitly superior to the original and looks far more like a "water hound".

Mamlambo
This is a result of the creature having two or three different reported apperances. I somehow ended up leaning towards the "horse" look and hated it for a long time until I changed it to the more common style of a "serpentine aquatic beast".

Mokele-mbembe
This was the second cryptid I ever made after Bigfoot and it stayed as it was until fairly recently. All that really changed was the pose but I managed to give it more mass than it used to have without making it look like a saurian curly-cue.

Mongolian Death Worm
This was a case of pure artistic license and I ended up with a four-legged candy cane with a happy face . Another one of the first redraws that resulted in a more accurate depiction.

Tatzel Wurm
You never saw this...

Trunko
I had always felt that my original Trunko was horribly lazy so, as the first redraw, I gave it a new look, a bit more color (the original has a whopping two!), and the flukes and flippers from the reports.

Yeti
It began as a stuffed animal and ended up a quarterback. Originally the redraw had pink eyes but that looked awful so I settled on a darker color that would still show up and go well with the, let's face it, bland color scheme.
