The flying ray, which appears to be a lot of people's favourite. I had to make this one 1% smaller to fit the 850x850 frame, which I also had to do for Deiris but failed to mention at the time.
#Spritedraw
The masked serpent, really more of a mask that grows a tail when it needs one. I definitely saw the basic concept of a mask in the sprite, but what the mask was attached to was very much not definite, and I took a rather loose approach to the mask itself too.
#Spritedraw
The false flower, an overachiever in its field, to the point of nearly completely sabotaging its own effectiveness. I think, looking at the sprite, that I simply couldn't come up with anything else at the time, since this one is pretty darn loose.
#Spritedraw
The Risen Sage. This was one of the several which I originally interpreted as "hooded figure" but I like this more metallic look quite a bit more. Also the first one where the pattern underneath the text was chosen with some sort of thematic significance in mind.
#Spritedraw
The protocyclops, apparent ancestor to all following cyclopes. Looking at the sprite now I will admit that I could've probably done something a lot cooler. Also this one has the shortest lore entry, because I couldn't figure out anything more to write.
#Spritedraw
The abyssal hermit crabs. I saw two with pink eyes and yellow shells in the sprite but decided if I was drawing two that it would be best to have some variety.

#Spritedraw
The eye of the cosmos, also known by many other names. The single simplest and quickest design I put out because I couldn't see any other way to interpret it and I find it hard to mess up a drawing of just an eye. Also has the longest bit of lore, funnily enough.
#Spritedraw
The crimson fisherman, whose general demeanour I decided to take, after drawing it, as being a sort of ghost or zombie fish, and so that's what I wrote. Still pretty faithful, and pretty simple, but definitely not so much so as the next one.
#Spritedraw
The cyclops eel, a very speedy and seemingly very dangerous boy. I think one of my interpretations was a sort of jellyfish thing with two tentacles, sort of like Driftloon, but it wasn't as graceful as this.
#Spritedraw
Deiris, a hungry hungry creature with possibly more visible teeth than every other design in this series combined. I recall one of my interpretations of the sprite here was two frogs riding on a dog, though you have to flip it to see that one more easily.
