Critters
These two pages of sketches were created during a "mindstretch session", an ad-lib doodling session in which I basically drew whatever strange creatures popped into my mind. I'm quite fond of several. The winged, horned creature on the first page is a cross between a pegasus, a unicorn, a dragon, and a phoenix. The mole-like creature toward the bottom was meant to have a nose whose nostrils resembled angry eyes, in order to scare off predators by simply poking its nose out of its hole. I was very pleased with the way I used the fins with the seahorse-like Hydragon on page 2. Caped Cod, I'm hoping to use in my C.R.A.S.H. comic (I think he'd make an excellent pet for Belt Boy!). The owl was meant to resemble a totem pole, and the patterns might have been inspired by Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
