Join me in making some weird animals!

This will be the EIGHTH year of my annual art marathon! What started as a casual exercise in creating surreal creatures has grown into quite a beast of its own. Peep the full evolution of it on my website!

It is February, which means it is nearly March, which means it is time for my official prompt list and personal theme for Mutation March 2026!

Last year, I did a month of Botanical Beasts. This year, get ready for 31 days of... Angelic Abominations!!

Ohhh I love this!! 🤩

Illustration of a spider but it's been combined with a berry pie. The abdomen of the spider looks like a triangular slice of pie crust, from which drips eight gooey spider legs and a head of eight shiny berry eyes. The creature is set against a classic red and white gingham picnic blanket, and above it reads simply "PIEDER"

Just a little bit of wordplay for a treat. 🙂

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html

Illustration of two whimsical creatures set against a color gradient suggesting sky above and water below. Above, there is a large bumblebee but with anatomy of a white and brindle bulldog. It has big bug eyes and ears pointed out like antennae, three pairs of pudgy paws, and a little pair of bee wings. Below, there is a white and orange cavalier spaniel but shaped like a goldfish, with a sweet little pup face, ears, and forelegs, while its fur shapes the dorsal and tail fins.

When I'm not creating cursed creatures, I enjoy welcoming some whimsical new friends into the world, such as this bumbulldog and koivalier spaniel fish. 🤗

This is the final day!!!

Illustration of two creatures based on the anatomy of a nautilus. However... one is made of tiger parts, with an orange and black striped shell, large cat eye in the center, with the top of the shell mutating into the nose and muzzle of a tiger. Instead of tentacles, a mass of tongues emerge out of the shell. Pictured below it is another nautiloid, but with horse anatomy. The brown shell has a short mane along the back, large horse eye in center, with the shell opening wide with horse teeth as many horse legs gallop out instead of tentacles.

Hello, I would like to share with you these two not-so-normal nautili that I drew. 😁

Here's a peek at a couple of the monsters I got to draw for this book as one of the guest artists!

Photo of the artist who has long bright green hair, and holds a colorfully painted fake human skull in front of their face, wearing home made head boppers with Orbs on top. They are seated in front of a wall covered in a colorful collection of art.

Happy birthday to me! Is this what 38 is like? Pretty sweet.

Digital Illustration of a crazed cartoon crow referencing the piece of media "Over the Garden Wall." The crow is sitting atop an open barrel where an alarmed frog is peering up from inside. The crow has its wings outstretched, beak overextended showing sharp teeth, its eyes bulging out in technicolor. Pieces of wrapped candy scatter in the air.

#Mashaween25 day 31 - your favorite Halloween movie.

Of course I must go for an Over the Garden Wall reference. 🖤

Happy Halloween! You have beautiful eyes! 🔘👄🔘

Aw thank you!

Eyyy, I made some monster art for this project, check it out! 😎

Ohh thank you so much! 😁

Digital Illustration of a portrait of a crow, but it has glassy undead eyes, and its beak has sprouted wings and is seen flying away. The beak trails green goo to the face of the crow, where a flat face with grotesque teeth is seen where a beak used to be.

#Mashaween25 Day 30 - zombie

When in doubt, give it inappropriate teeth! 😁

Digital illustration of a jester-type character that is an anthropomorphic crow. The purple crow is wearing a long vest with alternating pink and blue panels, pink and blue striped cuffs and spats, a hat with four floppy points, and a yellow ruffled collar. The clown crow is posed as if they are juggling mid leap.

#Mashaween25 day 29 - clown 🤡

Now is not the time for me to get into detailed character concepts, so got a little fast and loose on this one. I love them.

Digital illustration of a cartoonish ghost crow flying up from the body of a crow resting on its back with an X eye and tongue hanging out of its beak.

oOoOo, spooky ghost crow! Felt a little stumped for this, but that's okay, I've already made a lot of great hits this month.
#Mashaween25

Digital illustration of a green slime-based creature, approximately crow-shaped, with an unknown figure inside, puppeting the slime crow.

#Mashaween25 day 26 - ooze, with a bonus weirdo inside! 💚

Digital Illustration of a mummy seen from the waist up, but it's also part crow. The arms crossed over the chest turn into wings emerging from the wrapping. The wrapped head opens up into a crow beak.

#Mashaween25 day 26 - mummy 💀✨

Digital Illustration of a bird's nest with a large piece of candy corn that has hatched open to reveal a baby crow.

Just a very normal crow hatching out of a candy corn egg for #Mashaween25. 💛🧡🤍

Digital illustration recreating a scene from Nosferatu (1922). The vampire, who has been turned into an anthropomorphic crow, stands stunned at an open window as the sun rises.

Continuing my tradition of recreating a scene from Nosferatu (1922) for the vampire prompt in Mashaween! Crow-feratu?

#mashaween25 #artchallenge

Digital illustration of a goblin creature with crow features. It is sitting on a tree branch beside a small bird nest with eggs in it. The goblin has murky green feathers, bird feet with wings for arms. Though the face is primarily goblin-ish with a broad fanged mouth, bulbous nose, and wide set eyes, what would be the long pointed ears are just two crow beaks sticking out.

#Mashaween25 day 23 - goblin.

Crow beaks for ears because why not!

Digital Illustration for the Mashaween prompt "Frankenstein's monster." It is a collage of previous days' crow creatures.

#Mashaween25 day 22 - Frankenstein's monster.

It's a mashup of mashups! I thought I'd take a break from drawing, but this maybe took just as long. 😅

Digital illustration of a mutant crow creature for the Mashaween prompt "eye of newt," with inspiration from an emperor newt. It has a beak but only a large central eye on the top of its head, and many pairs of eyes running down its back. The wings aren't feathered but instead covered in little nubby newt toes. The creature's back legs looks like typical newt legs, and the tail is not unlike a crow's tail.

#Mashaween25 day 21 - eye of newt... I guess?? Before this prompt, I never actually thought about what "eye of newt" referred to. Is it literal? Is it floral? Well, now it's this!

Thank you! I was delighted to have a reason to bring back the Day 9 crow.

Digital illustration of a werewolf, but it is also part crow. The figure is snarling its beak, revealing wolfish teeth. It has a glowing yellow eye, feathery wolf ears, and it has one winged arm raised with bird talons for claws. The dark sky is partly cloudy with a full moon that is a rotund glowing crow.

#Mashaween25 day 20 - werewolf, but with a crow. Werecrow? There crow. 👇

Hell yeah! 🙌

Digital illustration of a creature that is part crow, part cobra. It has a crow’s face on a cobra’s neck, which fans out into wings. It stands up on two thick crow legs, with a long snake tail behind it. It is covered in mostly black feathers with grey scales down the front.

#Mashaween25 day 19 - snake, but specifically cobra.

…a Crowbra. 😀
