No more cheating this time on Fishy Friday and it's back to an actual fish.
For the fishing feature I wanted to get some more recognizable animals in as well, so this is basically a more aggressive, larger salmon-like fish with a lethal bite.

Well it's the third 'fishy friday' and I already broke the rule by adding in an amphibian...but...it swims...and has a cute face so it counts. But I don't imagine it will be too long before I have some octopus I count as fishy friday too but who would ever say no to an octopus.
On the spec evo side, I imagine an amphibian that's sett...

Hey everyone! Hope you all made it out of January okay and are ready for the stirrings of spring…unless you’re as far north as we are up here at Sol’Kesh and are still in a deep freeze. Thankfully the first critter of the Sol’Kesh Speculative Evolution Bestiary this month has a bit of fur to suffer it.

Hope everyone made it okay through January, up here in the north (Canada) the deep snow and short days have at least given me more time to draw creatures. and prepare more pages for the bestiary.
Two coming up is the rodent-like Scavick and the insectile Ricalllisk.
The Scavick is a voracious pack scavenger, intell...
Since I need to design nearly 20 fish for the fishing feature in the bestiary, It's time to announce, FISHY FRIDAY!
And so we have here a design based off the nurseshark with very articulated barbels used to manipulate mollusks and pull them out from crevices for a crunchy bite.

Hey everyone! So for the bestiary I've been thinking of doing a Fishing feature. Rolling on a chart and then testing your strength vs the type of fish or crustacean you were lucky enough to catch, for both fresh and salt water.
This kind of feature requires a lot of fish...so.. here's one, many more to go :)

Hey everybody,
I've been working with the talented K. Francis over at Barren for a bit of a...Creature Cultural Exchange Program, unfortunately for Sol'Kesh, his creatures include a lot of radiation poisoning :).
He sent me over the Mawthak, and I sent him a many legged shrimp-centipede like creature, the Nicalliath, that you can f...

Hey everyone,
In case you haven't heard, Hasbro has a 'draft' of their upcoming OGL 1.1 license leaked, and it's fairly harsh to third party people, companies, and for what I'm trying to do with the Sol'Kesh bestiary. I currently use the 1.0a version for Sol'Kesh and so this will impact the project and book, and I want to be transparent w...
Since starting a speculative evolution project set into earth's possible future, one thing has been made very clear to me from many people. The inevitability of crab domination. So join me in the acceptance of final carcinization with this little dude, the miremeer.

I wanted to close out the year by thanking you all for being here and helping create this world.
This time last year, the idea of doing a Patreon didn't even cross my mind and building a bestiary book was even then just a maybe. So first of all thanks to Jaye (creator of 2022-12-31 14:04:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey everyone, with the year soon ending I suppose that's good timing to share one of my more bleak wayward sketches.
The Hollow Mold, this idea grew from a discussion I had on reddit, I really love when that happens, between reddit and our discord there's some really good ideas brewing for the bestiary.

Hey everyone! This is really a big milestone for the project and a major personal goal of mine, today is a good day.

This is a big one!
I've been thinking about this bestiary a lot and have started to feel that restraining access to 2 creature sets per month for D&D was not doing the world building justice and allowing people to really explore and enjoy. Both as a speculative evolution project and an island full of creatures to slay in Dungeons and ...
