This is my first rendition of a baby Nessie (aka the Lochness monster). She was created in Procreate using a watercolour effect. My future hopes for this character are to include her at different ages, in different styles, and with scenes. 

Meet Maggie! Maggie is inspired by Pliny the Elder's description of the basiliscus, a small and ferocious snake with the power to kill through touch and smell! Maggie, however, is still a smol boop noodle and enjoys showing people around the city! 

Meet Elagabalus the boy emperor. I drew Elagabalus this way because I wanted to emphasise his boyness and childlike nature while reading a story about his cruelty. There are a number of stories I've written associated with Elagabalus an they are shared here. You can see a variety of images showing Elagabalus with different emotions below. 

There is also a post about the leo that Elagabalus hid in his royal palace. You can find the lion's stories in the post called "Felix leo". 

Meet Tully! Tully is a young sphinx just making her way in the world at her first year in monster school. Tully enjoys colouring and counting. Tully always has a joke or a riddle for her friends and teachers. 

The stories Tully will feature in will look at qualities and how a monster like Tully comes to be. She must serve a job and to get to this important post, she must learn the right lessons. 

Meet Leaula. Leaula is my original interpretation of the Mama Jo character from Sukey and the Mermaid. You can buy the original story here. I adapted this into a simple Latin story. My character of Leaula is still in progress and will become a character who appears to children in need. 

The origins of Leaula's name come from the original folktale. You can find this information in the original story, but I took the French and created a name that while giving credit to the original French is also unique to my creation. 

Meet Felix the leo! Felix is an original creation made in a kawaii style. He is based off a story about the Emperor Elagabalus who hid a lion in his palace to scare and attack his guests. All the stories about Felix are written from Felix's point of view and focus on the effects the Roman desire for entertainment had on the ecosystems and animal population. 

As is probably expected for me... Felix is our hero. While his first story seems fairly dark and without escape, we will soon find that Felix is rescued by a new friend with whom he explores the eternal city and history. For more stories, look to the right. For more images, look below.
