Babau demons were born from the blood stricken out of Graz’zt during a battle with Glasya in hell. A perfect mix of demon and devil, both extremely methodical and absolutely bloodthirsty Serving as recruiters for the blood war in order to maintain their own freedom or as assassins if forced #Dnd

Tareen, 5’8” human, next to the emaciated frame of a Babau demon standing 6’6” at the peak of its skull, extending up to ~7ft tall at the crest of their singular central horn. It has a bony skull like face, solid white eyes, a maw full of large fangs, sharp bloodstained claws, a nubby little tail, and skin pulled tightly to their skeleton.

Hezrou are the shock troops of the Abyss, although simple minded they are skilled enough to effectively lead bands of lesser demons in combat They are also known to have an overwhelmingly awful stench about them to the point that it can poison creatures within 10ft of them #Dnd

Tareen, 5’8” human, standing next to a large toad-like Hezrou demon that stands 8ft tall. The demon is covered in warts and spikes, it has a wide maw, thick arms ending in clawed hands and comparatively smaller legs that end in clawed feet. All in front of measurement lines

Alkilith are living portals shed off Juiblex’s shapeless mass, born to corrode the fabric of reality and create fissures leading into the depths of the Abyss I imagine that they open up their closed circle bodies to whip out like a tentacle to lash their targets, explaining their 15ft reach #Dnd

Barlgura are ape-like fiends who form their own tribal governments separate from the already loose “politics” of the Abyss Unlike most demons they are typically apathetic to the Blood War unless forced to participate by much stronger demons Degloth really are just bigger meaner Barlgura #Dnd

Thought I uploaded this already Nabassu are demons so dreadful that they are feared even by other demons and forced to live out on the fringes of the Abyss Their infamy stems from the fact that Nabassu indiscriminately devour souls, making them true threats to any kind of creature #Dnd

Tareen, 5’8” human, standing next to a Nabassu demon that stands 7ft tall. The Nabassu has a piercing gaze, horrible fangs, hunched posture, long arms, and large leathery bat wings that sprawl out to 12 feet 9 inches. All in front of measurement lines

Bulezau are the Abyss’ perfect foot soldier, more capable and deadly than cannon fodder like drenches, rutterkin, or manes.

Touched up my sketch and colored it in. I’m very pleased with how it came out! I keep wanting to add a background but I’m going to call this finished before I ruin it #OnePiece #Yamato

A full color drawing of Yamato in his hybrid Zoan form swinging a kanabo that’s crackling with purple lightning. His hair is wild and flying backwards and his face is being framed by his hagaromo scarf

The design is based on his canon design with my own spin to it because I wanted to see what the hybrid form could be if it was more wolf-like

Matthew Lickers @matthewlickers.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

For the first time in a long while I had time and energy to sit down and draw with pencil and paper so I threw together my own rendition of Yamato’s hybrid Zoan form. I love him, he’s my favorite character from One Piece #OnePiece #Yamato

A pencil and paper sketch of Hybrid Yamato from One Piece that I drew half from memory and half making up my own look for him. It’s more werewolf-esque than his canon design and his hagoromo scarf is more smoothed out (because I forgot that it was flame like)

Fanart for the game @potionomics.bsky.social I couldn’t stop thinking about what creature the Elder Being Tusk came from so I made my own rendition I highly recommend the game, it’s super charming and pretty challenging +a height comparison because I guess that’s my bit on here lmao #potionomics

An image of a large alien pachyderm-like creature floating off the ground with a multicolored polygon as a background. The being has a thick stumpy tail that rests in an upward position, a round transparent belly showing off its innards, fading vestigial legs, and a bulbous see through head that exposes its brain. The creature has several eyes across its body including three on its head, one on each thigh, and four on eye stalks. The face is like that of an elephant except that the trunk loops around and melds back into the skull and there is an eye at the base of the trunk. Positioned next to it is a silhouette of a wizard who stands at 5’9”

My imagining of an Elder Being from the game Potionomics. Roughly 19’6” across from front to back standing next to the silhouette of a wizard who stands at 5’9”

Rust Monsters! The dread of any adventurer It’s rumored that if a rust monster makes its way to Acheron they’ll gorge themselves on the metallic plane then spin a cocoon of metal, eventually emerging as a new rust dragon Simple creature that destroy equipment and unlikely to be anything more #Dnd

Bulette, also known as landsharks, prowl rolling hills in the same way that sharks patrol reefs. They particularly enjoy horse and halfling meat and dislike the taste of elf and dwarf. They devastate any area they inhabit until they run out of food, moving on to terrorize a new place #Dnd

Let’s start to wrap up the rest of the Giants that I’ve so far. Verbeeg and Mercane are both just kind of taller people but Mercane have extra joints in their fingers and a mental link with all members of their kind to instantly communicate news of a bad customer who shouldn’t be worked with #Dnd

A gold dragon that I drew for Tareen’s Shapechange spell. They’re a little bit smaller (~11% smaller) than the average Adult Gold just because I thought it’d be fun to roll for size using the 3.5 Draconomicon for some variety and finer measurements #Dnd

Illithid tadpole. Nasty buggers who are the start of the Mind Flayer life cycle, used in experiments by Mind Flayers, and as delicious snacks for already existing Mind Flayers and their Elder Brain.

Gorgon, in dnd, are bull like monstrosities covered in iron plates. If rusted severely, plates shed and cannot grow back. They also have a breath that can petrify creatures caught in it. Their blood has a magic property that when mixed with stucco/mortar can be used to block ethereal travel #Dnd

Tareen, 5’8” human, standing next to a gorgon that is ~6ft in height in front of measurement lines. The gorgon looks similar to a bull with the only key differences being the metallic scales armoring the length of its body and the row of metallic spikes going down its back

I drew a beholder, made using the tables in Volo’s Guide, it ended up looking like an ice cream with gummy worms in it + I wanted to remind myself that I can in fact draw more than just size comparisons I just like seeing monsters next to a normal person and it’s pretty easy to draw those #Dnd

A pink and brown bodied beholder floating through its lair while being trailed by its pet gazer. This part of the lair is a carved bluish grey checkered stone corridor covered in pink slime with an eye ball forming out of the wall and watching as its master goes by. The beholder has a scar over its main eye, a slavering maw full of sharp teeth, and a lower body of pink with a brown pebbled shell and worm like eyestalks poking out. The Antimagic cone of the beholder slightly mutes the color of whatever it passes over. The little gazer looks similar to the main beholder besides the fact that it only has four eye stalks and an X shaped pupil. The beholder is blasting an eye ray at a stray cranium rat while the gazer munches on another one that it had picked out of the slime

The last of the True Giants to remain on the Material, Storm Giants: wise and powerful while even showing compassion for the littler races… it’s a shame they’re so aloof. Even in the highest of the Ordning Annam wasn’t able to combine all the good traits without adding in self defeating ones #Dnd

Cloud giants are a proud and cunning bunch, somewhat elven in appearance, they prefer not to get their hands dirty if they can help it. With an obsession for material wealth and a knack for magic cloud giants are only one rung below the top of the ladder for the material plane giants #Dnd

Here’s the Fire Giant, capable and strong with excellent craftsmanship to boot the only thing they lack is the will and cunning to lead, they are much better at being soldiers than they are generals. Also they are slightly more squat and Dwarven in shape #Dnd

Now we’re really getting into the swing of nailing down the look for giants. Frost Giants, almost entirely human looking have a bit of a smaller skull, and as a result smaller brain, but otherwise well above Hill Giants and Stone Giants in the ladder towards that refined humanoid form #Dnd

Here’s my design and height comparison for stone giants, definitely more similar to the “standard” humanoid body plan if a bit exaggerated and with plenty of artistic liberty taken, a step up from Hill Giants but still having imperfection and subjectivity clouding the form #Dnd

In front of measurement lines stands Tareen, 5’8”, next to a 19’6” stone giant with exaggerated features and strange proportions. Definitely Annam’s more artistic effort at crafting a perfect form for his giants to take

Next up is the Hill Giant, I decided to give them more of a simple but still humanoid skull shape to show that they’re a step up from Ettin in the heirarchy but not by much #Dnd

Ettin size comparison! I based my version more off the 3rd edition designs, the theory that Demogorgon was involved in their creation, and additionally a general ape to man through-line for all my Giant designs #Dnd

Size comparison of a 5’8” human next to a 13 foot tall Ettin with a more simian look to their faces rather than the primarily human look from the monster manual. There are measurement lines behind both

Size comparison of a human to Ogres and also their cousin the Oni It’s so simple but I loved changing the color of the Oni (I’ve got a whole rainbow of them) and adding extra details like his club, scars, the loincloth, and gourd #Dnd

Hippogriff size comparison, I like the balance that I struck between bird and horse taking heavy influence from 3rd edition #Dnd

The sibling of the cockatrice, the basilisk. I tried to keep and invert certain elements like the weird feather/scales from cockatrice so they had some kind of connection. I love these big dumb rock munchers #Dnd

Another size comparison this time of a Cockatrice, roughly the size of a turkey. I really like how I did the scales/feathers on this one #Dnd

Tareen standing next to a cockatrice from 5e. It is a raptor like creature with leathery wings, a whip-like tail, and a face like that of a chicken, there is also a general lack of feathers except for a few large ones that resemble scales scattered around the body. On its feet it has large spurs pointing out the back and on the front side there are three talons per foot with the inner most talon being larger and more pronounced than the others
