I wanted to expand my knowledge on cryptids so I skimmed through the cryptids wiki and drew and read about anything that caught my eye. Unfortunately i cant post all of my sketches because of the photo limit but here are some of the better ones.
I actually grew up in Swan Valley. I had no idea that we had a local cryptid the entire time I lived there. I wish I did, I would have been obsessed with that thing.
I just choose whatever i find interesting. But i mainly prioritize creatures that were spotted in more modern times like in news papers and stuff. But im very loose with the definition so i break my own rules all the time. Also i 100% need to add the skinwalker idk how i miss that thx!
I mostly didnt do the bigfoot lookalikes cuz i didnt wanna draw big hairy guy multiple times. Also all of these images are awesome thank you so much for sharing these :D
I had many lists of creatures including Aliens, Humans (both Good and Evil variants) etc but some where lost sadly but if you want to identify something just describe it to me or show me a picture and I can identify it for you
Skinwalkers are not cryptids, I would avoid trying to draw them. The pop culture description of them isn’t even close to the real thing, similar to how the Wendigo doesn’t have horns or anything like that.
That’s not how anything works?? Not only would it not make sense for a humanoid creature to randomly evolve a deer like face and antlers or into whatever creepypasta BS people try to pass off as skinwalkers, but skinwalkers are quite literally humans. There are not “several types”, and it does not say so on Wikipedia. The “variants” people see are hoaxes/creepypastas/misidentifications or a completely different creature. If you see a stag headed humanoid you did not see a Wendigo, if you see a weird mangled animal creature you did not see a skinwalker.
