Book of the New Sun's bestiary is a strange one, drawing from prehistoric biology, mythology and folklore.
This is the Alzabo-- if you've read BotNS, those familiar with Annihilation (2018) will know where the idea of the Bear-creature truly comes from.
Late night w.i.p... Getting into New Sun creature territory now.

I've also been looking to the work Makoto Kobayashi (Top Left- Dragon's Heaven), Kow Yokoyama (Top Right, Xanadu), Yasushi Nirasawa (Bottom Left) and Yoshitaka Amano (Bottom Right-- Severian from Book of the New Sun) a lot for design inspiration.
The four idols in question:
Top Left - Toppi
Top Right - Battaglia
Bottom Left: Moebius
Bottom Right: Peak
It's #PortfolioDay again!
As I've said before, I've got a taste for old-school fantasy, sci-fi, comic and editorial art, trying to channel and combine techniques of my idols-- Sergio Toppi, Dino Battaglia, Moebius and Bob Peak, among others!
