Bestiary Project: Making a Monster Manual from Scratch

*Last Update 3/7/24*

I had some old photo albums that I bought at estate sales and secondhand stores that had some sweet old paper in them. Those pages had a great texture and I've always wanted to make something out of them.


I rough cut two A5 sized sheets from the larger pages, and then trimmed them down with an old school slicer-dicer that I found a few years back. 


After all of that slicing & dicing I got out a marker pen and went to work. I messed up in a few places, but here is my first monster. :)


Here is a weird hopping flightless bird.


I messed up that M. Lol.


Look at this quirky lil goofball monster.


I based the drawing off an old school illustration.

Those pseudopods... didn't turn out quite right. Haha.


He never skips antler day...


I saw a Call of Cthulhu image posted a few weeks back that inspired this guy.


My version of the Intellect Devourer.


Apparently a magic-user named Xasu made this disgusting thing...


It's got legs and it forgets how to use them... 


Who needs a decapitation fungus? Lol
