I started drawing chimeras at some point in the middle of high school and have kept at it ever since. Generally, it's just a fun way to get the creative juices flowing, to draw something without having a fully developed idea going into it. As I'm sure you can tell, there are certain elements that I return to on a regular basis, and some that are a bit more unique. I've also tried to incorporate some non-biological elements in some creatures for a bit more variety - I think the first and perhaps most obvious of those was the fork, but a couple of the other creatures here have some sort of prosthetic or otherwise non-organic element. They are at different levels of development and vary in their levels of eccentricity and how many elements they combine. I have included several of the initial creature sketches and anatomical thumbnails for the X-Luminate series (featured at the bottom of the page), as well as some that did not make the final cut.
