#LETSDRAWMONSTERS Creature Prompt!: (Patreon)

*This post was supposed to go up tomorrow morning, but.... there were leaks. (From a source that shall remain unnamed...) So now you get to see the prompt early! :) -jg

Welcome to #LETSDRAWMONSTERS creature design challenge for May 2020! This month is #MerMay, but instead of a lovely mermaid for our creature, we wanted to do something a bit more interesting: The Mythical, the Majestic Mer-mule! 

The mer-mule was the more practical workhorse for all legendary sea gods. Not as showy as the high-maintenance hippocampus, and not as pretentious and ill-mannered as the sea-goats. Yet, it was left out of most ancient chronicles. The Mermule was in fact, one of the primary means of ancient sea transportation and trade and was known to be a noble, sturdy, albeit stubborn, companion.  

For today's CREATURE DESIGN CHALLENGE I will be drawing Triton's own Mermule and giving him his long-deserved moment in the sun.

On the livestream we will be doing life studies, crafting thumbnail concept sketches, and attempting to finish a final drawing for the Mer-mule in just 3 hours.  As with our last community creature design event, there will be PRIZES at the end of the stream for:

• Most Majestic
• Most Adorable
• Most Stubborn
• Most Likely to Bite You

Hashtag yours #LETSDRAWMONSTERS on instagram when you finish it! We will be sharing everyone's submissions live at the end of the stream. Come hang out with us 10AM EST on TWITCH!
