It's monster Month!

Every year, me and @gerald-bentonart.bsky.social run an art challenge where we draw a different monster everyday in October (also in May). Anybody is welcome to join in, or just watch along. Just post whatever you make with #monstermonth

Here's a list, in case you get stuck

An inspirational list of monsters for monster month 2025

Monster Month Day 9 - Great King Bowser.

The trouble king cannot be stopped; only contained. Woah upon ye plumbers who cross his path.

Dude, it's an anecdotal observation. She's doesn't owe you anything

Monster Month Day 8-Chupacabra

A livestock drinking critter sighted during the 1990s in Puerto Rico, the chupacabra is cryptid royalty. If they made a Cryptids: The movie, Chupey would be a main player. Shoulder to shoulder with Bigfoot and Nessie

A treasure and a menace.

Our unlikely and only hope in this strange age.

Monster Month Day 7 -Mindflayer

Starts with a worm. Swims right up the nose, eats the brain, hollows you out and sets up shop. Before long, there ain't no 'you' anymore. What's left is all mind and malice, and not much else.
Illithid, they call themselves.

Monster Month Day 6 - Sphinx

If it speaks to you, no matter how harmless it seems, you must not answer. You may think it a beast, but the lords of these old, forgotten places are cleverer than men, and crueler.

We all could, but be careful. This pal's hungry!

Monster Month Day 5 - Michigan Dogman

If the Michigan Dogman is real, it should be our primary objective, as a human species, from now until the ending of time to find a way to stop the Michigan Dogman.

A bit hoaxy, even by cryptid standards. This report comes from a time when larger than life stories about "untamed" places and ferocious monsters or if the were common place, unfortunately.

Monster Month Day 4 - Kasai Rex

This cryptid menace was supposedly sighted feasting a rhinoceros in the Kasai region by a Swedish hunter.

Sighted in Across the alps, especially in Switzerland, the tatzelwurm, sometimes used interchangeably with the stollenwurm is a kind of poison breathing mountain dragon. Something of a cryptozoology favorite, and just plain weird.

Monster Month Day 3 - Tatzelwurm

You're in the Alps tending sheep; like you do. There's a rustling in the brush and you turn to see a 7ft long lizard with a cat head, under which are two legs. It lets out a whistling scream.

This, is a tatzelwurm.

Lusca is another unsung Cryptid. I find this surprising because 1) Lusca is one of the handful of cryptids with a supposed kill-count, and 2) It's one of the few cryptids that people are looking for to this day.

Monster Month Day 2 - Lusca

Deep inside the yawning blue waters of seemingly endless blue abyss; all teeth and arms and mystery, is Lusca. A half-shark, half-cephalopod that haunts the Blue Holes around the Bahamas.

This is one of my favorite cryptids, and deserves to be an all-timer. I think the Van Meter Visitor is emblematic of why it's an interesting topic/hobby to research, even though it's (allegedly) not real.

Oh yeah. It's monster Month.
Welcome.

Wayne C Spencer @kidgalactus.bsky.social · 8d

The Visitor had the head of a strange bird, complete with a glowing horn that protruded from the center of its head.
After it's reign of mild terror, the Visitor, along with a smaller version of itself, was chased into a mine, which was promptly, and thoroughly blown to hell.

Monster Month Day 1 - Van Meter Visitor

In 1903, in Van Meter Iowa, something incredible happened (allegedly) when a 9 foot tall bat winged creature appeared over night, peering into windows, climbing along rooftops, and frightening the populace for several days.

I've been posting my comic series ClockJumpers over on Newgrounds, which is, for my money the best place for artists right now.
