Lystrosaurus baragonsis

Baragon as a dicynodont, specifically a lystrosaur. I feel like it fits.

A Baragon By Any Other Name

I like the idea of reinterpreting Godzilla monsters using the 1998 Godzilla/GINO/Zilla design rationale as a basis. No dinosaurs, no prehistoric beasts, no magic, everything is basically a giant mutated creature. As an iguana mutated and became Godzilla, a frilled lizard mutated and became Baragon, who first appeared in Frankenstein Conquers the World (incidentally, one of my favorite movies).

This originally started out as an excuse to draw a folded up frilled lizard frill, before I thought that the frill could be a stand in for a redesigned Baragon's ear flaps.

Working on a book, a short guide to gods from space, an idea that’s been sitting on the backburner for a while. Each entity has found an abstract domain for itself to claim. This guy specializes in fear.

Titans Without a Tack

Some creature request from some buddies of mine. Three Sonic Titans, the first an extra-dimensional entity made of sound, the second a stridulating divine cricket, and the third a bellowing behemoth.

A Worm in the Dark

What hot pink horrors lurk in the dark, hot pink corners of the Earth?

Valentiner

Valentine's day could use a mascot. Not Saint Valentine, he's rather drab, and Cupid is way to overplayed.

How about a giant disembodied heart that deliver luvvy-duvvy stuff to people who can't afford or forgot to buy some?

Careful of the dentata. And the fire.

Baal Buster

A piece from earlier this year that I’m actually glad I finished. Baal Hadad battling the sea serpent Yam, a scene from Levantine mythology. These figures are seen as transliterations of Marduk and Tiamat, respectively, and having already done a work featuring those two, I took some liberties as far as depicting these two.

Baal Hadad would eventually become equated with satan by Abrahamic religions, eventually becoming Beezlebub. With that in mind, I thought a pre-fall Beezlebub, already interested in flies, would be an interesting thing to draw. As for Yam, Tiamat is undoubtedly female, often described as being a mother to monsters and having an udder. If Yam was to exist in the same world, I would think it would make sense for him to be a male equivalent, having different coloring, differing ornaments decorating his head, not having an udder and generally exhibiting sexual dimorphism.

Tiamat’s, and presumably Yam’s, offspring are quick to help Yam fight, but are kept at bay by Baal’s fly minions. This is just a few short seconds before Baal shoves that lightning bolt down Yam’s throat.
