A Colossal Collaboration

Hey everyone!

I've very happy to share today the incredible miniature work done from collaboration we're doing with the Barren Patreon.

This is the second collaboration together with their incred...

Stonecrest Turn Around

Happy Friday everyone!

Hope your 2024 has been treating you well so far.

I have here a turn around video of our last miniature release, the Stonecrest Sparrow.

And besides that little feathery friend,  Worldshaper and I have been working on some collaborations with Barren's artists and in only...

Another instrument for the band!

Hey all, hope the warm fuzzy feels of the holidays are still holding on even with the rush of a new year and all that that entails.

I have here the ocarina for the Stonecrest Sparrow and because I realized a person needs to actually play the thing, for the book I enlarged the creature from tiny to small so it makes sense that it's beak is actually useable. So now go enjoy slaying a turke...

A Stonecrest Sparrow chirps to the rising 2024 sun

Hey everyone!

Today launches the bird that started it all, a fitting way to bring in the new year and the goal to launch the Kickstarter this year! For those that are saying, hey this bird's already free! Well I updated the rules, enlarged the bird so that crest on its head could be correctly used as an ocarina and Worldshaper has created a beautiful sculpt for the loud feathery friend.<...

A New Year's Dawn

Happy New Years everyone!

Before I get into all the Stonecrest releases I want to do a project recap considering we have a new year of exciting new stuff on the horizon.

2023 was a big year, it started off strong with the amount of people on this Patreon,  me and Pascal, the original 3D artist, were in a good groove of releasing the two monsters a month and the Discord group...

2023's Best Beast


Hey everyone, what better way to end the year than with some creature-democracy!

Instead of the usual next creature vote, this may be the perfect time to see all 24 of the beasts that were released this year and add some bonus content to them.

As each creature has 3 harvestable part...

January Preview - A New Dawn

The days between Christmas and New Years have always been my favorite time of the year, no more stress of shopping, no more big dinners to plan or go to, just settle in, eat leftovers and relax till the year ramps up once again. Not everyone has that break, some are rushed back to work to deal with the boxing day madness. So no matter how your schedule is, I hope you all get a single, relaxing,...

Happy Holidays from Sol'Kesh

Hey everyone,

Keith and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, or anything else you do or don't celebrate at this time of the year.  I also wanted to still share a little something I was able to get coloured up during my holidays break from the day job.

I want to take some time to say how amazing this journey has been and how much it's exploded in the last year...

Ready to Pounce Wrakis

Hey everyone!

3 more days to Christmas and even for those that don't celebrate that day I hope you're getting the day off from work to relax, unwind and think about creatures.

Today I got my day off of work and have a whole week to deep dive Sol'Kesh and finish off quite a few of the beasts, can't wait!

In the mean time till more of those creatures release, here's a fancy 3...

Getting in some range

Hey everyone!

Here's the Wrak Sting. This was a fun one to draw and I'm not just saying that cause I love drawing chitin, the colours were more vibrant than my usual :)

What's different about this Blowgun compared to others is that the special damage is  embedded in the blowgun itself, not the darts. So no matter what you're loading in, you're spitting out some acid damage...

The walking scythe-bug is ready! (aka Wrakis)

The Wrakis skitters in

By the creature-loving gods, we did it!  2023 is defeated and we're ending with a scythe-wielding red devil of a bug. And that's christmas-y enough...I think.

The wrakis is found crawling in all corners of Sol'Kesh, swimming through Wetland rivers, squeezing into cracks in the Blackwells, and living in the underbrush of the Wealdwoods. It's a fairly aggressive scavenger and besides i...

Wayward Journey - Valedayn

Hey everyone Happy Wayward Wednesday!

After a few weeks of detail work I'm done the 4th environment sketch for the bestiary, this time showing off the Farplains biome, specifically the bug and flower strewn fields of Valedayn, with a new view of the Splitspine mountains in the background.

Doing these type of illustrations are a real struggle compared to straight u...

Sacrissian Turn Around

Hope everyone's have a good week! I wanted to share a turn around video of the Sacrissian modeled by the talented 3DPZ -- follow them here!

He did a really dynamic pose for the Sacrissian and it's hard to appreciate all the motion without seeing it in all views.


Well that's it for today! Talk to you...

Let's start a bestial band

It's honestly a challenge not to do just make every sharp bit you can harvest off a creature to be come a weapon, so this month's item for the Sacrissian played a different tune.


This instrument (that you can get with a traveler or dweller tier membership) plays two different songs to have an influence in combat, uplifting your allies or disorienting your enemies.

And for those...

A Ferocious End to the Year

What a year!

Thank you everyone for being part of this bestiary journey as I slowly fill out the pages for the eventual release and just keep up the world building on this speculative evolution project.

This year by June I figured I was going to stop with 3D minis as my original partner, Pascal, had to leave to be able to juggle the time needed for 2023-12-01 12:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon Creature Release Poll #6 Wrakis Reveal

Thanks again to everyone who voted, for the very appreciated tier members I'd like to share an early preview of the Wrakis.

The biome for this creature will be Far Reaches, which is what I'm calling the category of creatures that could be found anywhere on the island. And for the craftable item, what do you guys think of a blowdart tube using it's proboscis :)

Wayward 53 - More fish to fish

Hey Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!

Haven't done a little creature release in a few weeks and it's about time I keep adding more fish for the fishing feature. This one isn't too wild as far as speculative evolution goes, but sometimes I just draw a fish and keep it basic. So enjoy the little bird eater!

If you haven't already voted, 2 days left to find out which creature will la...

Hey everyone!

Our second creature of the month is here and this one goes faaar back, the 4th journal entry and 2nd creature done for the Sol'Kesh bestiary, back when it was a peninsula! Since then I polished up the creature, brightened up that sail and working with World Shaper to get it ready for 3D printing and D&D.

Although the daugon is evolved from hippopotamuses after 82 ...
