Art Order Concepts...



I've recently started following a blog at http://artorder.blogspot.com/

Each week a new concept is pitched and artists submit their concept.

These are the ones from the last two weeks.

The first are little scavengers called Garreth, that eat the bones of fallen adventurers, and horde small treasures.

The Rooster looking thing is a modern day Cockatrice. 
  
"The existence of the Cockatrice was believed to be a myth until they were recently discovered living in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America.
It has been determined that this is, in fact, the animal referred to as the Chupacabra, or "Goat Sucker".

It's most interesting physical attribute are two syringe-like appendages on each of it's front legs.
These are adapted pin feathers which allow the animal to suck it's victims blood.

Since the discovery of the Cockatrice, it has been used in pit fights, and has over taken cockfighting, and illegal dog fights in popularity in Mexico.
In Honduras, it has been alleged that trained Cockatrice have been released in slums at night to deal with stray dog and orphan "problems". "
