Re: Kracken vs Unicorn



I'm pretty sure both Kraken and Unicorn are mythological creatures, not cryptozoological.

Re: The Inflatable Hedgehog

Rumoured to be found in the Gobi Desert.
"When threatened, the animal strikes its tail against the ground (an alarm action that is used by many different types of animal) and then proceeds to inflate itself considerably. Reports differ on how big it is after inflation, and range up to the size of a yurt (a small Mongolian tent-like dwelling)."

Found here for your reading enjoyment.

Re: Merperson Punnett Square



The text on the top translates to "The breeding of mermaids." In a recent ground-breaking discovery it was found that being a person is nothing more than a fish phenotype of the recessive ll allele of the limb-type gene. Merpeople occur when the offspring express the Ll allele.

Re: Jack of Jackalopes



"It's a hoax! Everybody knows the Jack of Jackalopes is just a regular old Jack of Clubs with the horns from the Jack of Deers glued on it. Either that, or a Jack of Hearts infected with the Shope Papilloma Virus."

Re: There Can Be Only One



I am Deadfrog. I decided to use my real name now. No more hiding. No more games. Not even Scrabble. Well, maybe sometimes Scrabble, but I'm not going to play Axis and Allies anymore. It just takes too long.

Anyway..Deadfrog is now Michael Evans.

Thanks,
Michael Evans

Check out Legend of the Elipsicon! I made it.

Re: Serpentes Hulae Hoopia



This particular hoop snake is practicing for the local hula hoop contest.
He's starting out with a couple hoops around his neck.
Let's see how many hoops he can twirl on his arms...oh..hmmm. Well, how about his le...no. His wais....hrm.
Ok, just how many hoops CAN he twirl on his neck?

Re: Elephus Nessius Pranksterus



Here we find a particularly rare specimen of gargantuan elephant who nests just below the surface of fresh water lakes. He is native to the Scottish Highlands and feeds on conspiracy theorists and out of work photographers.

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Re: Wolpertinger

Re: The South Carolina Lizard Man circa. 1864



Based on the South Carolina Lizard Man of Lee County. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizard_Man_of_Scape_Ore_Swamp

This is the first design where I used my Wacom tablet like a sketchbook. It was pretty fun!

Re: Otterrifying



Here we see the Dobhar-chu, a terrifyingly large, maneating otter from Ireland. This especially big one is using the familiar sea otter method of opening tricky food sources - bashing them on a rock balanced on their tummy!

A detail:



This shirt is six colors on asphalt. You can see a BIG VERSION here. Thanks for looking! Please vote if you like this design. ^_^

Re: Cryptids Playing Poker



Wow! This was my originally idea. Really glad I didn't do it, I would have just embarrassed myself! Nice.

Re: Kracken vs Unicorn



Kraken is on the list and unicorns are sometimes described as cryptids (a creature whose existence has been suggested but that is unrecognized by a scientific consensus).

Love this one, Spirit. The details are great. I think most of us have a soft spot for otters..

OK. The Artist Formerly Known as DeadFrog: Cool concept! BigFoot looks a bit chimp-like to me, but I love the idea.

Re: Wolpertinger



So glad to see a 'scary' entry. I love the detail, though the blue under brown is both weirding me out and fascinating me. I think I'm leaning more toward 'fascinate' though.
Nice composition too.

Re: The Inflatable Hedgehog



Man, the Goby desert is just rife with cryptids! I guess the inflatable hedgehogs evolved to be able to coexist with the Mongolian Death Worms.

Very fun design! :^)

Yeah, I couldn't ever decide which text to go with. The feedback I got said to just get rid of it, which I liked better originally anyway. Oh well, no worries. It's not like it'll ever print anyways. ;)
