For this design I wanted to make a smaller, less threatening creature. At about the size of an ostrich, this creature moves through open plains in herds, using the false head on its tail as defense #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

Artwork of a bird-like monster, called Amphistrot. The creature has a brown coat, with yellow feathers serving as highlights. It has a false head on its tail made from feathers, and defends itself via kicking

For this one I wanted another design with "final boss vibes" and had a vague concept from the beginning. The design came from a dream I once had, where this thing's cocoon was sitting on a beach, it broke out, and all hell broke loose. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

A sketch for a giant monster. It has a large, armoured body, with glowing blue highlights all over it. The shell is covered in a blue dust, and it has long, blue tendrils on its head and tail.

Concept art for a creature called Veyoquerel. The creature has a large, armoured build, with four powerful legs and long, blue tendrils that extend from its head and tail. The image showcases the creature's ability to manipulate a radioactive substance to its will, and how it uses this substance to protect itself when weakened. The image also describes how little is known about this creature, as it only emerged after the fall of an ancient city.

For this one I wanted to do another unconventional creature shape, and quickly had the idea to do a land manta ray. I was flip-flopping between having it float via air gusts or magnetism, and in the end I think magnetism was the right choice. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

The image showcases a manta ray inspired creature called Mahastrape. Its main colour is a pale grey, and it has a black underbelly, as well as pale blue accents and pale red blood veins. It uses magnetism to float in midair, with smaller creatures latching to the bottom of it to eat parasites off of the stomach and wings.

For this design I wanted to make a unconventional water-based design, with it creating steam vents and explosions. Given the volcanic region it inhabits, I settled on a sulfur theme. The snail idea came from me wanting to use a more uncommon creature body type. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

The image showcases a snail-like creature named Ardequa. Its shell is covered in sulfur dust, and has several vents, from which steam can escape. The creature's head has four mandibles, which it can use to fire a sticky mucus, which explodes on contact with water.

This creature is another inhabiting my volcanic region, and the setting's final Amphiptere for now. This one is based heavily around gargoyle imagery, with fire element being the perfect fit. Somehow, the weird ideas I had for this one came together in the end. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

The image showcases a flying snake-like creature named Goyleryx. The creature has black scales, and a grey underbelly. Glowing, orange stripes go the length of its body, which ends in a sharp, serrated spike. The head features two large, serrated fangs, as well as spikes, which resemble a mohawk. The wings feature flame-like patterns, which light up when the creature is enraged.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

This is the first design I made for my setting's volcanic region. Knowing that I'd make other creatures using fire and water elements, for this one I went with earth, and more specifically, liquid metal. Of my current designs I view this one as a "main character". #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

A concept for a creature called Gallaharus. It is a large, Spinosaurus-inspired creature, which can swim through lava and use liquid metal as a weapon. Its body is a cool grey with the occasional stripes and blue spots. It also has large, blue membranes over its body, ideal for swimming. Its back, much like a Spinosaurus, has a large sail.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

This one is another redesign of an older concept. My skill level at the time wasn't at a point where I could execute my vision properly. This version works much better, and gained a more bestial appearance than before, which fits its personality well. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

A concept for a creature called Mongumar. Its back has bright orange fur, while the lower portions of its body are dark blue. It has two black horns, as well as spikes protruding from its back. Its legs are partially covered in bristly, black fur, and it has an orange sac on its neck, which it uses to expel flames

The older design of the creature in the other image. It is notably less detailed than the new version, and sports a different pattern.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

This one is a redesign of an older concept I had. This one is another Amphiptere, using its tail as a lightning rod. The design really came together when I came up with the taser-like fangs as one of its methods of attacks. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

An image showcasing a monster design. The creature is a winged serpent, named Amphijin. The image showcases several angles of the creature, detailing how it hunts and attacks.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

I had the idea of a scorpion-inspired creature in mind for a long time, but this design is very different from my initial idea. This design began life being inspired by the mythological hydra, and the other elements came together to elevate that aspect. #art #creaturedesign #monsterdesign

An image of a scorpion-like creature named Lernteriz. The image describes the creature's abilities, such as extending its pincers and head, and its ability to produce explosions with its two tails.

For my first piece of 2025, I decided to revisit this design in the form of a full painting! The space-themed background came together better than expected, with me making minimal changed from the image I exported from Blender.

A rocket-powered dragon hovers in place in front of a moonlit sky, with the silhouettes of mountains lining the background. The dragon is emitting sparkling dust from its glowing blue wings.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

After I had the reworked design for Teuminwis done, I knew I wanted to create a rival monster of some kind, and began to brainstorm some ideas. Eventually, I landed on a wolf with earth-based abilities and a paladin aesthetic. #creaturedesign

A wolf-like creature called Laelerra, with sharp, rocky spikes growing out of its front legs and sides. The image showcases its rivalry with the fox-like Teuminwis, as well as its ability to grow these rock spikes and launch them at opponents with its tail.

Congrats and thanks for the art share! I love drawing all kinds of creatures, and designing my own especially!

I wanted to mess around with the idea of "fighter jet/rocket but dragon" for a little while now, and I finally got around to making it! Throw in some shooting star theming and I think the design stands out nicely. Very happy with this one.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 23/09/2024

For this one I wanted a creature that would stick the bones of its prey onto its own body. At first that idea was based around tar, but I found tree sap and amber to give a more interesting and unique aesthetic.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 22/09/2024

This one was a redesign for a concept I made a while back. The basic idea was to make something with "Final Boss Vibes" and I settled on a design inspired by biblically accurate angels. I wanted to give it an "otherworldly" feel compared to my other designs, and I think that worked out well.

030 3

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 22/09/2024

I struggled quite a bit with this one. I knew the general body shape that I wanted, that being a winged snake, or Amphiptere, but I wasn't sure where to go from there. I made a simple sculpt in ZBrush, and then sketched out the rest.

030 3

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 21/09/2024

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone a lot with this one, making a super detailed piece as opposed to "just" a concept. Super proud of this one still! I made a basic desert in Blender before moving over to Clip studio and painting the rest.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 21/09/2024

This one was sitting in my backlog for a while, with the description simply being "Wasp Monster". Even if the concept was more straightforward, I'm still happy with this.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

For this one I wanted a cat-based design as part of my setting, and after a while, what I settled on was a primarily aquatic creature, using pressurized water as a form of defense. This is also one of the few designs I sculpted (or tried to) in ZBrush.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

This one was also made as part of a class. It was a pretty new experience for my to do so many explorations of shape and colour (something I'm still not the best at) but it was pretty interesting to try and think of new ways to make the design!

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

This design was made in roughly 2 hours. I was in a call with someone and we decided to make designs using the same plant/animal inspirations. My version ended up as a herbivore for my setting!

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

I wanted to do a plant monster for a really long time, so I was pretty happy when I finally found a fun way to do it. The backwards wings were an accident at first, but I liked them quite a bit, so I kept them for the final version!

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

This one is one of the more dangerous creatures in my setting. It lives in the depths of the ocean, only coming up to land very occasionally. I made it as the demon counterpart to an angel inspired design I had made previously, with the lore being that the two are rivals.

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

This one was made for the creature design class as well, this time for the exam. I went with a creature that lives in caves, using paralytic venom to hunt. At the time I really wanted to make something with dinosaur proportions and shapes, and this was the final result!

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

This one was made as part of a creature design class I took part in. We decided on a creature that would eat blood, live in the mountains and be used as a mount. I liked the design enough to make it a part of my setting!

Voltrai @voltrai.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

Time for some more creature design posts! These are for a personal project of mine, focused on creatures specifically! This one is Teuminwis, a fox creature with a demon aesthetic! It's by far the design I've reworked most of my current roster, but this newest version is one I'm pretty happy with.
