The sixth and final monster for this batch, Atlaukar!

Able to manipulate water in the air, this leviathan wields it with deadly precision. The slime covering its body allows it to charge its piercing beams with dragon energy.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A fanmade monster hunter design and its armour, made by the user. The monster resembles a mix of glaucus atlanticus (the 'dragon slug') and an actual dragon, with a long neck, body and tail, four short legs and wide 'wings' made from the skin on its sides.
It has fleshy horns on its forehead and a beard of diamond-shaped skin flaps on its cheeks. It is mainly light blue, with prominent dark blue stripes along the body, horns and wings.

The armour made from the monster is regal and highly ostentatious, covered in frills and ridges. The masculine set has a very long cape in multiple layers, two front-hanging flaps over the chest and upwards facing horns attached to a helmet that looks bearded, covered by a hood. The feminine set has more crescent shaped horns, longer forwards cloth, a slightly shorter cape and dangling flaps from the shinguards.

The fifth monster in the second batch, Amperitor!
A vicious snake wyvern with a shocking surprise. The organs in Amperitor's hood generate electricity, which it unleashes through lighting-tipped bites or thunderous bolts from its tail.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A monster hunter monster designed by the user and the armour made from it.
The monster resembles a large pale orange cobra with two arms and short back 'legs' resembling seal flippers. Its hood is adorned with long blue spikes and glowing light blue electricity organs set in the middle. Its face has two short horns on the nose and a pointed chin, with grooves for its fangs. Above the back legs is a fin and at the tip of its tail is a sharp spearlike blade.
The armour made from it has a regal look, resembling robes with flowing shoulder guards (inset with tesla balls on the masculine) and skirts. The masculine helmet looks like a crown, and is framed by a collar made of scales. The feminine armour has a hood and a longer, but frontless, skirt.

The 4th monster in my second batch-
Inzizon, the Many-Fanged Beast!

Prowling the shaded forests, Inzizon's striped pelt hides it until it snaps its maw shut. Experienced hunters recognise its presence by the distinctive chattering it gives off.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A monster hunter monster designed by the user alongside the armour made from it.

The monster resembles a Thylacine. Its head is disproportionately large, and its muzzle is long and bifurcated at the chin. It has a 'moustache' of longer fur on its nose. Along its tail and brow are bony spikes resembling fangs, and its body is striped like a tiger. Its biceps, hands and feet are bald with grey leathery skin.

The armour resembles 'tribal' outfits, with an emphasis on collected fangs as ornamentation. The masculine outfit has a mane with a ring of fangs around it, while the feminine bears a hood.

The 3rd monster in my second batch-
Onyxceros, the Black Hammer Wyvern!

A lumbering beast that eats minerals. This is used in its armour plating, metallic claws and most prominently on its head and jaw, which it uses to flatten enemies.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A fan monster hunter design made by the user. It resembles a large black quadrupedal reptile, with a tortoise-like shell on its body, large forelimbs with metallic claws, and a head shaped like a hammer with the nail removal part serving as horns.
The armour based on it is below the monster, with two sets.
One more closely resembles the monster, the masculine pieces having large tall shoulders and a two pronged jaw on the helmet and the feminine having a two pronged forehead and ridged shoulders.
The other set resembles blacksmithing clothes with metal plated forearms and greaves.

2nd in the second batch!
Draskyll, the Dragon Mantis

A large monster that bears the visage of a more fearsome foe to ward against predators. However, it's formidable in its own right, with glands that launch a devilish red fire in its forelimbs.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A mantis-like large monster designed by the user, in the style of Monster Hunter, along with its armour sets. The monster resembles a pinkish red dragon mantis with horn-like curved black eyes, the pupils surrounded by a firey orange glow. Its forelimbs are strikingly large, resembling a dragon's face with the middle section as its lower jaw and the second last as its upper jaw.
Its abdomen is long and segmented, ending in an arrowhead shape, much like a dragon's tail. It has three pairs of wings with a firey texture.

The armour sets are on the left. The masculine set resembles a european noble, with a cravat, a small crown on the devil-horned helmet and a cape made of the monster's wings. The feminine set has a piercing mantislike visage, large spikes on the shoulders, blades on the forearms and a 'skirt' made of two of the monster's tail.

First of a second batch of monster hunter designs
Impakeros, the Drill Hammer Wyvern.
A violent herbivorous monster whose twirling headbutt style allows it to drill through stone to reach vegetation, not to mention a powerful defensive technique.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #mhart

A fanmade monster hunter monster and its armour. The monster resembles a quadrupedal Pachycephalosaurus, with four rows of successively longer spikes behind its domed forehead and a hammer shaped club on its long, flexible tail.
The armour is bulky, with the masculine having larger shoulders, three rows of waist plates and large knee spikes while the feminine has longer horns on the head, an asymmetrical large-spiked chestplate and two rows of larger waist plates.

The last of my Monster Hunter monsters from this particular batch, and the most powerful of the Gardis!
Gardi Kinlong
A fearsome monster covered in golden scales; its massive body is adorned with mountains, proof of its strength.

#monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #mhwilds #oc #ocsky

A massive golden dragon on all fours with no wings and a mountain range along its back. Its horns are arranged in a rough crown formation, with a 'beard' of scales and a scale trim running along the shoulders and body resembling a king's cape lining. Large purple crystals are embedded in its shoulders, matching the monster's purple patterning around its eyes.
The armour made from it resembles bulky knight armour mixed with royalty, gold and purple in colour with crowns built into it. It shares the same purple gems on the shoulders and has rocky pillars on the back, elbows and knees (masculine set) or a frill on the back and a 'skirt' (feminine set).

Monster Hunter Wilds part 5!
Hanafeza, a vibrant and beautiful Bird Wyvern
It dazzles opponents with its luminous feathers to distract or stun them.

#monsterhunter #mhwilds #oc #ocsky

An image featuring three figures- one animal, two humanoid.
The animal is a large bird, colours in bright blue, purple and orange. Its wings are small and tipped with three claws each, while its tail is a short reptilian one with large brightly patterned feathers extending from its base. On its tail base and forehead are long feathers with clubbed ends, two each, dark purple with white spots.
The humanoid figures are outfits based on the monster. Roughly inspired by carnival clothing, with the left masculine one having the monster's clubbed luminous feathers while the female has a feathery dress and headdress.

Razra, the razor wyvern!
A serpentine monster that shreds its prey, leaving them to bleed out while it pursues other targets.

#monsterhunter #mhwilds #oc #ocsky

An image depicting a monster and two humanoids.
The monster is a blue, reptilian creature with a long neck and tail and red accents. It is covered in spiny scales, forming flared points at the shoulders and wrists along with a pronounced ridge on the neck. Its face is pointed at the nose and chin.
The humanoids are clothing sets based on the monster. The left more masculine figure has a scaled hood and spined wrist and shinguards. Its stomach and thighs are exposed. The feminine figure on the right has a cobra-like hood with horns, along with a medium dress of scaled and a cloak of the same material, topped with a spine necklace.

#MHwilds posting again- Penshimo, the icy fanged beast!
Another redraw of an old sketch, pretty happy with how it turned out.

#oc #ocsky #monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds

Three figures. On the left is a large penguin-like monster with icy armour on its face, claws, knees, stomach and ice on its tail forming a shark's fin. Four feathery ribbons come from its face, having a pink to orange to yellow at the tip gradient.
The rightmost figures are two humanoids with clothing based on both the penguin monster and inuit traditional clothing.

#monsterhunterwilds fan monster no.2- Hanmatoros, the hammerhead wyvern!
A Brute Wyvern that spends its days just under the surface of the desert, coming crashing down on prey when it draws near.

#oc #ocsky #monsterhunter

Three figures. The leftmost is a creature resembling a mix of a hammerhead shark and a theropod dinosaur, a tan dinosaur with brown spikes and blue eyes and vents in its horns. The rightmost two are sets of armour based on this creature, styled after cowboys and incorporating the plates and hammerhead of the monster. The middle has a wide brim hat with a cloth dangling from the edges, while the right has a cowboy hat styled like shark fins.

#Monsterhunterwilds has gotten me back into drawing and designing #monsterhunter stuff and man it's so fun
Starting off posting with a redraw of an older design, plus the old one on the last slide.
Drew the new one a lot smaller cause it's part of a big canvas lol.

#oc #ocsky

An image depicting three figures. Two are humanoid, left is masculine and right is feminine, facing the camera. They are wearing red, plated armour inspired by Japanese Oni masks (left has two horns right has one) with yellow spiky fur and black leather wraps underneath. The third figure is a crab with armour shaped into a demonic, oni-like face. It has two horns though the right is significantly larger. Its left claw is shaped like a Kanabo club, while the right is thinner and almost like a hand. Under the shoulders' plating is yellow spiky fur matching that of the humanoid figures' armour.

The two humanoids from the previous image

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."
