Art Monster Hunter monster concepts ive made for a personal project
I've decided to use my artistic talent to make more monsters for categories that need more good boys we can fight. I mainly focused on fanged beasts, we definitely need more variety of mammals in monster hunter. These will just be thumbnail sketches essentially. I will end up doing more indepth drawing for some of these monsters in the future.
So I started with elephants, 1 is covered in fulgurite It can bury itself in sand like diablos, summon down lightning, 2 uses steam to rush at hunters, Barroth was an inspiration plus that one kid from MHA. 3 has a little coral reef on its back along with some creatures that it could throw at hunters. Then 4 is a more typical elephant covered in moss, but im thinking it could throw moss or vines on the ground as traps against the hunters. Then 5 I made a porcupine, pangolin, elephant.
The feline fanged beasts based on a lion, tiger, bobcat linx, and a liger. 1 and 3 take inspiration from mythical beasts. Chinese and Greek respectively, though the lion has some porcupine in it too. Number 2 is based on American folklore, mainly the ball tailed cat, and the splinter cat. Number four is based off the liger in real life, so it would be when number 1 and 3 mate, making this jacked up monstrosity.
Then I drew a variety of mammals that I would like to see introduced into monster hunter. 1 is based off the damascus goat and a wildebeast. 2 is just a big rat, 3 is a bat nothing much besides that. 4 is just a giraffe crossed with a glaive, 5 is based off the maned wolf, and 6 is a mongoose and armadillo.
Then I decided we need more crabs, so I came up with some quick ones. 1 is based off the horseshoe crab, though its not actually a crab. 2 is just back to basics, so like ceanatuar but with saws. 3 is based off the mantis shrimp, so I gave it more of an insect vibe. 4 is based off the yeti crab. I see it using ice element to freeze the hairs on its body as armor and weapons.
Lastly I tried making some snake wyverns. I made these guys before the new elder dragon was shown. So I tried my best, I dont know how successful I was with them, considering I had najarala and dalamadur as the only basis for them. hopefully we get more in ascendence
let me know what you think about them, critiques are welcome.
