WAIT A MINUTE. COMPUTER, ENHANCE.

I often get asked how to create compelling creature designs based on real world animals. So here are my 🔥hot🔥 tips- 1.) Draw inspiration from as many organisms as possible. I always use a minimum of three. This keeps any one feature from being too prominent in your final design. 2.) Try to focus on indistinct aspects of your inspiration, like posture, or the shape of their spine/head/limbs. Don’t replicate any part of the original animal’s body completely.  3.) Choose a variety of organisms as your inspiration. A tiger and a lynx might seem like a cool combo, but your resulting neo-kitty might not stand out against other more inventive designs. 4.) Have fun! The rules of biology are your playground, and you can disregard the limits of reality as you please. A good example is in the mirroring of the fins on the second creature. Doubling limbs or other body parts to create visual flair or complexity is A-Okay! I did the same thing with the claws in the final frog-trex-crab, exaggerating the shape and symmetry of its claws. Creature design is an excuse to explore and experiment. Don’t hold back. That’s all I got for now! Suggest three animals that you think would make a good combo, and I’ll try to create a creature based on them.  Follow me on Instagram for more monsters!!

Facing the Greatest Fear 💀 by Thomas Sanders

A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church.

The statue depicts Jesus as a vagrant sleeping on a park bench. St. Alban’s Episcopal Church installed the homeless Jesus statue on its property in the middle of an upscale neighborhood filled with well-kept townhomes.

Jesus is huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured; only the crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.

The reaction was immediate. Some loved it; some didn’t.

“One woman from the neighborhood actually called police the first time she drove by,” says David Boraks, editor of DavidsonNews.net. “She thought it was an actual homeless person.”

That’s right. Somebody called the cops on Jesus.
