[Northwinter Press] Kingdom of Monsters - Haunted Eve Previews

[malcolm_n]

To celebrate the upcoming Halloween, I’ve started posting previews for a special book I’m putting together especially for it. Yesterday, I posted a rough concept pic on my facebook page. Today’s preview is the art request I'm putting in for Haunted Eve - A Guide to the Scribe's Marsh.

Like what you see below? Get in on the fun by grabbing a copy of Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters so you can prepare for Haunted Eve! http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/134588/Mystical-Kingdom-of-Monsters-Pathfinder

NOTE: Anything that was already drawn for KoM but redone here will be in a different position. Usually more menacing, reaching out, or generally creepy.

1. Jinx Cat Companion (Binx) – Black cat with a witch’s hat on its head, similar to the Researcher in Kingdom of Monsters. The cat’s ears are sticking through the hat, like they’re a part of it. Its eyes glow blue. It’s sitting up, attentively, like something just got its attention. Its tail could be twitching.
2. Jinx Cat Hero (Ghanima) – Larger than the binx. Tiger-like, but the fangs are long. Its face is wide with glowing, blue eyes both alert and intelligent. The paws are enlarged to give support on uneven terrain and its claws can extend almost ten centimeters, sharpened at the ends into razor tips by abrasive compression of the sheath. Its coat shimmers between the black of the previous form and a flat, even tan color. It’s trying to stalk out of the page.
3. Jinx Cat Champion (Circemera) – Half-n-half (left/right) pure black and pure tan. One eye glows green, the other blue. Wisps of magic come off of it like steam, and its eyes feel like they’re following you as you move. The hat’s back, though it flops to the side with the black fur. Only the black ear pokes through it.
4. Skeletons: Crurotar, Scoundrite (the one with the hoop earrings), and owlbear.
5. Zombies: Gray Render, Hydra, and Moncroak.
6. Undead Treant: Leaves are gone, one or more crystals are broken. Compare to an old, dead tree for colors and any other things (like missing bark in places, etc).
7. Greater Bone Devil: Has wings like a pixie and is more dangerous looking
8. Crawling Claw: A severed hand with sharpened fingernails skittering about like a deranged spider.
9. Scarecrow: A scarecrow with flame spitting out of its eyes and mouth. It looks to be dancing.
10. Scarecrow skeleton lord. The farmer’s attire from the scarecrow is gone. The creature’s in a nice suit. It’s impossibly thin, made of bone. Its head is more like a skull, and the fire’s gone from it now. It stands menacingly.
11. Zoog: A stitched up combination of rodent parts, complete with wormlike tentacles around the snout.
12. Mogweird: white moggish with brown patches of fur. It has large, bat-like ears. It could be happily eating a candied apple. This pic is pretty much the only one not meant to be immediately creepy.
13. Fang Critter: A little ball of sharp quills. It has a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and creepy, lizard-like eyes.
14. Gremlin monster: This thing’s head looks like it could have been a mogweird, but instead of fur it has reptile scales and coloration. It’s lanky instead of fat and its claws are sharp on thin, bony hands.
15. Gremlin Spider: Part gremlin, part spider
16. Gremlin Bat: Part Gremlin, part bat
17. Lightning Gremlin: A gremlin-shaped creature made of electricity.
18. Gremlin Farspawn: A gremlin with 4 arms and colored like the maimspawn (gray with swirls of green)
19. Grindylow: tentacle goblin creature
20. Festrog companion: A weaker version of the Festrog
21. Festrog Champion: A beefier, more powerful version of the Festrog
22. Fourclaw youth: A smaller, weaker version of the Fourclaw for trainers that want to raise one sooner.
23. Timeslayer Youth: A smaller, weaker version of the Timeslayer for trainers that want to raise one sooner.
