I normally don't link to artwork on this site in these updates because I figure if you wanted to find this stuff, you know where the search function is. I also don't usually link out to just plain artwork that isn't a physical item or attached to some sort of news, but this jumped out at me:
Maybe it was the cactus in the background that made me think of home?
Is it AI inspired? I can't tell. I know AI-created content rubs a lot of people the wrong way, didn't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers here.
Another unusual inclusion: Fursuit head?
By Oh Rats Creations in the EU. A posable comb and...a removable tongue. (I yank on my own tongue for a second.) Huh. I like it better when they're forked, anyhow!
As usual, MINIATURES!
A crowing cockatrice from Donya Quick. This is a little unusual because a cock's crow is supposed to be fatal for the average cockatrice to hear. But I guess trying to mimic your dear old dad is a natural instinct, for better or for worse. Looks like he's putting a lot into that crow, needing to stablize himself with his wings.
Hand-sculpted by Paul Muller, this one has a striking resemblance to a certain picture in the old second edition D&D Monster Manual I have sitting around somewhere. It's from Badger Games and I must admit I feel a little partial toward THAT name. :> The site has a cute little mascot.
A 3-d printed miniature from Epic Miniatures who I swear looks like he's not just ready to stare, he's ready to start pummeling you with little pterodactyl-like claws on the wings. If I ever got more serious into suiting...I think I'd start with this as inspiration.
Another entry from Badger Games, we have a little metal figurine. Looks like he just woke up and is squinting a bit.
From Only-Games we have...chicken lizard bird bat beast. Got all that? Also for sale on Cults3d, as noted in July.
Unpainted miniature cockatrice with lots of nice tailfeathers to go with the snaky tail. It's a good look, I'll admit that!
And last but not least, a nicely painted 3-d printed miniature.
These are starting to dominate the report...I should maybe start setting the bar higher for including them.
Games!
A board game with a horror and cooperative style is coming out at the beginning of September: From Ravensburger, the third title in their Horrified series features a Greek twist with Medusa, the Minotaur, and Cerberus...and a bunch of other non-unique monsters of which cockatrices are included. Yaaaay, inclusion. Should have been a basilisk though, since that's an actual Greek word and all (Βασιλίκος).
That's all for August! Check in next month.
