A little creature.
But genetics said.

Barbara the bravest adventurer! the further away you go from towns you may encounter some big monstrous toons roaming around. to keep them in check there are some brave toons that volunteer to make sure everyone is safe, including the monsters.

Average un-symbiosed Leafwing.
There are actually two types of leafwings, variants if you will. "Living Gardens" and "Walking Plants". This post is about the Living Garden variant.
At heart, Gardens are just that, gardens. They on average look like sticks or peculiar driftwood, and throughout their life have plants growing on them. It starts young where they have the highest chances of a complete symbiosis with a plant, When a Garden first symbioses with a plant, usually only ever one species of plant for their whole lifetime (things can get messy if there's multiple species on one dragon, the plants basically fighting each other for real-estate on the dragon). Vines and trees are by far the easiest for a Garden to symbiose with, with carnivorous plants being the hardest.
Garden families have traditions of keeping the "Family plant", with each generation either symbiosing with the same plant as their parents or the same general species.
So hey, this is a part of my communication homework.
The skull is inspired by the skull of a wolf and a deer. My classmate was the one who came with the idea, I just drew it in my style and corrected some anatomical proportions :b
Another big piece!! This one took me,,,, a while :’D
Doing a big project for an art course! Basically I’m designing 20 creatures including this boy, and then illustrating them in an unique fantastical environment :D
Concept sketches for an upcoming art project ✨

Uhm excuse me Nintendo that was my colour pallette may I have that back. You best not be lurking on my other ideas. Then everyone will assume I based my characters on your joycons. Even though they were conceived long before. Just kidding no owns colours luckily. But I'm watching you nintendo 🧐. #nintendo #joycons #purpleorange #orangepurple #drawing #veops #veop #veopsen #originalcharacter #closedspecies #oc #nintendoswitch #phonedrawing #creature #controller #games https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CD583iWpc/?igshid=1dhqyq69ilaeg
Assorted sketches of the ryerunner, an ostrich-sized herbivore that lives on the wheat-covered planet Alicanto. Its frilled eyestalks fold over its head, forming a sort of natural balaclava that shields its eyes and upper nostrils in the strong winds. When extended, the underside is a bright, iridescent white; the sudden flash of a ryerunner's frill can be disorientating to practically anything with eyes in the dull sepia landscape.
Though they, as obligate herbivores, have little interest in eating other animals, ryerunners engage in a particularly gruesome form of kleptoparasitism: using their long front claw, they will cleanly "dissect" other plant-eating animals for their stomach contents (and another other occasional treats, such as gestating eggs or large internal parasites). By seeking out this partially digested food, they are able to add significant variation to their diet and include vegetation they would otherwise not be able to access. Attacks on carnivores are rarer, though still not especially uncommon. Herds of ryerunner will sometimes curiously follow animals, nutritional value or no, for up to several hours - both at ground level and by climbing to the surface of the wheat to stalk from above - before killing and carefully "dismantling" said animal as a group, a play behavior that reinforces social bonds and strengthens valuable hunting skills.
