My first four creatures made for my Monster Mashtober. Do you have a favorite so far? I really like the Harpy myself!

An illustration of a pink harpy (a mythical creature that is a combination of a woman in this case and a bird) with pale tipped wings in profile. She has turned her face to the viewer and looks surprised/frustrated as she holds a wriggling red snake in her mouth. The background is a light peachy pink An illustration of a walking wingless sphinx in profile moving to the right. She has bright red fur with a slightly darker spotted pattern on her back. Her face is pale with dark scleras and bright irises. She has a patch of light fur on her chest and tail An illustration of a red Hippocampus (a mythical creature half horse and half fish) with a pale strip down its body, pale fins, and a pale mane. It is in profile with its neck tucked in towards its body and mouth open. The background is a light peachy pink An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink

Gotta show the Mothman some love!

I have one of these about every three months without fail, so is the cycle

You can’t go wrong with a black cat!

Well, truly hope your dog doesn't! Wishing you the best with dealing with that, it can't be easy🧡

I felt some inch of hope on a very personal level for the first time in a bit, which obviously lead to me looking up greyhound rescues which is a slippery slope to more future pets

Realistically I'll probably adopt from a local shelter, but I do like to look at the noodle dogs

Thank you so much!☺️
samanthamash.bsky.social
Yes!! The Mothman needs his supporters
samanthamash.bsky.social
She will be even more thrilled haha!🧡

I truly have thought about throwing it all away and running off to work at a manatee rescue and rehab center because they do just seem like the kindest little guys who need some help
samanthamash.bsky.social
She’d be thrilled to hear that (hopefully she doesn’t eat it)
samanthamash.bsky.social
Hahaaaa that was the goal! Thank you☺️

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much, they were really fun to make!

I mean manatees are our best cryptid in the US at the end of the day😉

Yes exactly, it is an endless string of meals that way

I think if I were a mythical creature this is sort I’d be. Wandering around, asking people riddles, and eating those who fail them. What sort of mythical creature do you think you’d be?
samanthamash.bsky.social
The wingless Sphinx hasn’t notice you…yet. So you still have time to prepare for her riddles

We will see, but what will happen is how I make a living will shift a little again. After every step of the last few years being so shaky, I’m looking forward to a smoother direction
samanthamash.bsky.social
My life seems to change very significantly every four or five years since I was eleven, and that cycle is coming up again

It is both scary and somehow also grounding, but I’m mostly leaning into a hope that I will not have to work as much as I have for the past few years
