![Creature Concept: Desert Ogre (female and male versions)
Digital illustration of 2 ape-like humanoid monsters side by side. Their skin is mostly grey, with pink regions on their bellies and around their mouths, as well as in the insides of their ears. There are swollen blue skin patches on the neck and above the eyes on the male (right). Both sexes have bright orange irises. Yellowed fangs are visible inside their mouths.
The beasts' limbs are long and thin, but visibly muscled. The hands have slender fingers with claws in place of nails, and the feet have only four main toes instead of five. A fifth vestigial toe is located near the ankle, at the back of the foot.
Their long baboon-like tails are tipped with a tuft of curly fur. Similar wavy fur grows on their backs, more thickly on the male. The hair extends up their necks, but tapers out on top of the heads, where it becomes very thin, so the creatures are nearly bald.
The female on the right is overall shorter, with wider hips and a thinner neck, while the male has longer limbs and is more heavily muscled.

![Creature Concept: Southern Quilled Seraph (fictional avianoid)
Digitally drawn concept art of a bird-like monster design. The creature faces right on a dark plane. It is sitting with its wings partially folded, but still somewhat slack. Its long tail twists upwards behind it.
Its beak and two-toed feet are yellow in color, and its eyes are bright green. Most of the feathers on its body are a warm grey shade, with a broad red stripe down its back and tail. Additionally, there is a large patch of red in the center of itis chest. Its wing feathers, as well as some scattered feathers across its body, are a shiny iridescent black. It has a bright red wattle on the underside of its head, which is patterned with black markings.
Porcupine-like quills sprout from beneath the feathers on the monster's back, as well as the backs of its wings. Along its twisted tail there are 3 more (shorter) wing-like appendages. The head has two pairs of eyes; one is large, and located on the side of the head, and the other is small, and faces forwards from a hole on the from side of the beak.
The beak is toothed, like a goose's beak, as is the animal's tongue. The beak also has a large Smilodon-like fang growth on each side. On the bottom half of the beak, a patterned crest sprouts and curves backwards between the fangs. Above the front pair of eyes on the beak, there are hornbill-like growths that shade the eyes.

![Illustration: Stormfront (Sci-fi Art)
Illustration of a pale orange stone desert, with mountains in the background. Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes.
Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm.
