At my part time job I just unboxed a set of sock puppet kits for kids where the package image is AI generated. Yeah nothing jumpstarts a child’s creativity and self esteem like showing them an example they can’t replicate 🙄

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees.
A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries.
The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.

We’re in a futuristic luxurios apartment, with a glowy tree in the middle. A young agent wearing a combat armor is crouching behind a terrarium, ready for action.

A monstrous, tentacled figure emerges from the mist. She has large milky eyes, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a long extended tongue.

A dark skinned elven scout runs towards the camera. She’s just jumped out of an alcove in a city wall and she’s making her exit through the forest, startling all the wildlife around her.

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sarah, a creature artist with a love for dragons. I do both illustration and concept art. #DigitalArt #FantasyArt #Creature #CreatureDesign

Illustration: Sunrise Dragon (fantasy illustration)

Digital artwork of a dragon's neck and head. Its scales are primarily colored a light sky blue, and its spikes and horns are gold. Many of its scales also have bright magenta regions. Its eyes are a shiny black.

Its long neck its twisted in a snake-like position, with its head facing left. Its teeth are visible on the outside of its lips, much like crocodile teeth, and its snout is tipped in a bone-like beak structure. Two of its top teeth are especially long and tusk-like, curving outwards from either side of the head. The dragon has 3 pairs of horns, the longest and thickest of which is the highest pair on the back of the head. A thick but short spike, similar in appearance to the horns, is located on the side of the head, near the back of the jaw.

3 rows of spines extend down the creature's neck, and each spine is gold in color, with a magenta base. The center row of spines is significantly taller than the others, and each spine of this row is lobed in the center. Each lobe is patterned with white and purple spots.

The dragon's environment is a cloud scene at sunrise. It consists of pastel pinks and pale purples. Some sky blue is also visible at the top of the illustration, and in the rightmost top corner the sky fades to navy blue. In front of the dragon, some pink clouds form a circular shape that frames the creature's face.

Creature Concept: Northern Dragon

A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull.

The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears.

Creature Concept: Southern Quilled Seraph (fictional avianoid)

Digitally drawn concept art of a bird-like monster design. The creature faces right on a dark plane. It is sitting with its wings partially folded, but still somewhat slack. Its long tail twists upwards behind it.

Its beak and two-toed feet are yellow in color, and its eyes are bright green. Most of the feathers on its body are a warm grey shade, with a broad red stripe down its back and tail. Additionally, there is a large patch of red in the center of itis chest. Its wing feathers, as well as some scattered feathers across its body, are a shiny iridescent black. It has a bright red wattle on the underside of its head, which is patterned with black markings.

Porcupine-like quills sprout from beneath the feathers on the monster's back, as well as the backs of its wings. Along its twisted tail there are 3 more (shorter) wing-like appendages. The head has two pairs of eyes; one is large, and located on the side of the head, and the other is small, and faces forwards from a hole on the from side of the beak.

The beak is toothed, like a goose's beak, as is the animal's tongue. The beak also has a large Smilodon-like fang growth on each side. On the bottom half of the beak, a patterned crest sprouts and curves backwards between the fangs. Above the front pair of eyes on the beak, there are hornbill-like growths that shade the eyes.

Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon)

Digital artwork of a black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest, facing left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light.

Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck.

3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin.

A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him.

This was a commission work done for JacenLandry

An elf with pale freckled skin and short, wavy white hair, wearing a white dress with silver trimmings and sheer pink cape, sleeves, and hood, holding her white wooden staff with a blue glowing lantern attached to it in her left hand, sits on a large branch of a white tree with red leaves. She is overlooking an autumnal forest with a river running through it, with red roofed towers peeking above the trees in the back, and mountain cliffs surrounding it. She has a small, soft smile on her face as she gently scratches a manawrym's chin.

A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats.

Commission work done for Rhaaka of an orc warlock OC from World of Warcraft.

A green skinned orc wearing dark purple and blue robes with gold trim, large pauldrons with floating spikes, and a black hooded cloak, stands with her staff in her right hand, and glowing green magic in her left hand. In the background is an enormous tower like structure, with smaller structures around its base, and a poison green light coming from the sky.
