Some more big monters inspired from Magic the Gathering lore! I started from the game's basic mana colors and I imagined how to blend them in a coherent way, (based on this archetype's flavour in the game itself). Anyone with a knowledge of the game mechanics could try to guess my inspiration for every single dragon before reading it below each one.
I've been playing a lot of Magic the gathering with my friends recently so I decided to have some fun with the game's classical creature archetypes. Just for nerditude's sake I'm also adding mtg abilities to these hydras.
This is not a unique "fantasy" archetype but I got my inspiration from Ixalan Mtg expansion, with a lot of colorful enraged dinosaurs. I kept an eye on the correct animal anatomy exaggerating here and there to transform these ancient creatures into vivid "fantasy" monters.
Heavily Mtg inspired demons. These cruel creatures of darkness really invite to push shape language to the extreme, even if they embody a very "classical" rappresentation of evil.
