Many fantasy creatures, one of which actually existed That said, it looks like one of the most fantastical ones on the page.
Jennifer Smart drew all of the images above and below in this post.
The two drawings I feel gravitating towards are the first two.
The Payakan Avatar. It looks like a mixture of a whale and an abstract drawing. This second part comes in the form of the patterns, which adorn its body.
The second illustration is the scarecrow. I don't know what it is about them. They stand alone in fields, tasked with keeping birds away from the crops in the fields they are tasked with protecting. The fact they are often used in horror movies, gives you something to think about. There is definite mystery surrounding them...
Actually, there is one more I would like to mention. It's the fourth drawing down. The sweet scene of one creature helping a much larger one, with what ails it. I really like the feel of that picture.
A little history and mythology, mixed in with the drawings below. Now a chance to make their acquaintance.
