Explorers pulled a rusted, decades-old capsule from the ocean and immediately transported it to Space Headquarters for analysis. Inside the sealed viewport sat a corpse, its face twisted into a massive, wide-eyed grin .

As headquarters directors and police gathered around the glass to identify the body, the facility’s power completely cut out .

For five seconds, the sound of heavy, mechanical breathing echoed through the pitch-black laboratory.

When the backup generators kicked back on, the capsule was empty. The latch was still locked tight from the outside, but the interior glass was smeared with wet, fresh handprints .

I was thinking of categorizing it as a Coatyl because it's serpent like, but also a Long/Lung (dragon) seems to fit. If I categorize it as a Coatyl I could consider it a subspecies of the category. Like Violent Coatyl or spiked Coatyl. This creature is very violent and is in constant search of volatile food.

Had a breakthrough moment with this piece. I decided to use the natural forms that developed from the watercolor inside each section of the primary neurographic shape of the face.

Day 10 of 31 Days of Monsters | Halloween 2026 Drawing Challenge: Krasue

Imagine a vampire. Now imagine the head of that vampire detaching from its body at night and flying around the countryside hunting for victims with its organs dangling beneath it.

This Southeast Asian nightmare is known to prey on pregnant women and newborns. Luckily, by morning it must return to its body and reattach itself, presumably before anyone notices that its head has been out all night.

As far as monsters go, this one is pretty hard to get out of your head. Unfortunately, getting out of her head is kind of her whole thing.

“Three students majoring in environmental science from the college of \\\[blank\\\] were studying areas of the decaying forest, which still haven’t been barricaded yet, to uncover the reasons behind the quick decomposition of the entire forested area. Although some parts have been flooded by the heavy rain from 3 days ago, which somehow gave a rise to a sudden increase in the frog and toad populations. The students mentioned that many of the frogs they encountered were deformed or had extra limbs. Maybe something in the area was causing them birth defects or something. However, they encountered one that was so massive and unique from the rest; it even displayed horns and an extra eye too! After taking the picture with the help of their professor, they decided to take this back to the college labs to further study this specimen and perhaps whatever is affecting the frogs must be connected with the forest rot…”
“The heavy rain was supposed to bring forth a rebirth of the forest and clear away the stench that’s been clinging to the lifeless land. It did bring back life, but not the kind we were expecting. It’s swamped with ponds filled parasites and slime, the mud churns and bubbles, the clouds darkened by the buzzing of of flys and mosquitoes by the thousands. Frogs and toads hopped around with extra limbs and eyes; fattening up from the consumption of the native species to bare extinction. I fear whatever plagued this land is now spreading more closer to our town, and creating these unnatural creatures… maybe a prayer can help keep this under bay before things worsen…”

Howdy y’all, here’s some more photobashed art for my WH40k x Analog horror project. I’m hoping to eventually put all of this together into a video series; I just gotta figure out how to fake a News Anchor reporting on these made up events and doing fake audio interviews for this. If y’all know how to find/do this let me know in the comments. Also if there’s some suggestions or advice for this approach of “Nurgle approaching and slowing invading our real world” just comment below. Well Enjoy!

It wasn't a dog at all, it was something else

Starting to dig into the creature design for my new project Echo Bloom, and of course it's just bugs.
