i've always combined the two main interpretations of kobolds as lizards and dogs into one in my head
lizard dog.. log.. or dizard

Taking a break from drawing my mutuals to draw a present for a good friend of mine
Good job if you can tell who it is
I think we can all just agree that dragons are pretty cool… But dragon designs in film and on television are so vanilla. Look! Look at what we could have!
Dragon Head - by “Veramudis“
I’m Fabulous - by Katarzyna Marcinkowska “Grzanka” (Tumblr)
Dragon Mounts - by “V4m2c4”
Bluejay Dragon - by “Shinerai“ (tumblr 1) (tumblr 2)
Patterns- by “WhiteRaven” (tumblr)
Last Ones - by “WhiteRaven“ (tumblr)
Classic Tabby Dragon - by Hillary Luetkemeyer “Hibbary“
Minty - by by “Shinerai“ (tumblr 1) (tumblr 2)
(Also these are all just incredible artists go shower them with attention.)
They’re all here! I took it upon myself to create an illustration of a Mythological creature or character for every letter of the alphabet, trying to span across a multitude of cultures and creature-types. Another thing I wanted to accomplish with this project was to find some the more unusual and/or obscure creatures that don’t get as much representation in artwork. Individual Tumblr Posts with said creatures’ descriptions are below.
Again, I’ll be making this into a small run of books as a way to test the waters. If there’s more demand for a larger run, I’ll definitely be looking into it!

Eeveelution variations!
PLEASE DO NOT REPOST OR REDISTRIBUTE ON OTHER WEBSITES
Throughout the years I’ve seen so many headcanons for the eeveelutions, many of which based the Eevees off of just one animal or a mix of them so I decided to play around with some designs to encompass most of these ideas.
The main idea being that: Because Eevee’s DNA is so wacky and it can evolve into so many diverse evolutions, its species can also vary from evolution to evolution, region to region, bloodline to bloodline.
Many being domestically bred for specific traits whether it be for battling, contests, companionship, or to be put to work, many others are found that way in wild populations where little human interaction has occurred.
All of the standard Eeveelutions shown are supposed to be more or less ambiguous, not based around just one animal but instead, designed to fit their official artwork as close as possible. Basically, standards are mutts as far as what species they are is concerned, hence people calling them catfoxrabbit things. As for the variations, all bets are off and many have been bred and narrowed down to one species.
The three-to-four variation examples I drew at the top of each picture are not exclusive to which species expresses it in the examples below. These variation types whether it be coat pattern, jewels, leaves, skin type, can appear in most any strain of each respective eeveelution.
Likewise, the species variations beside the standard eeveelution are not the only available species per that pokemon as the possibilities of other species and mixes are endless. It’s even possible for your eevee to change species upon evolution, much like the quilava line already does [shrew to weasel to badger].
It took me about three days to finish this and loads of references. In the end I’m quite happy with how it all came out and I hope you all enjoy. And if you want to draw character inspiration from this post please be my guest!!
