More monsters, weird creatures and strange people.

From left to right:

- I was reading a history magazine and there was an article about medieval costumes, so I decided to draw a surreal creature in a medieval dress.
- That chameleon thing grows butterfly plants on his back.
- He's the bard of the Court.
- The fruit from the tree where they hang people.

The bard is my favorite. 8) I probably have a bit of a bias there, being a spectacled storyteller myself, but still. :D

I love looking at all your monster creations! They're all just so imaginative, it's so interesting. You're actually the one who got me interested in more surreal art and now I love it!

I'm going to believe that the people carrying out the executions "hang" people on that tree because they don't really want to kill people. They selected the tree specifically because its fruits made it difficult to tell if people were hanging on it (from a distance, but the people ordering the executions never got close to bother with the details), and then let the people free via an Underground-Railroad-esque smuggling route.

...But it's not because they're nice and altruistic. They just are securing their job. They'll always get paid due to the high number of new criminals who look suspiciously like formerly executed felons.

...But they need to secure their jobs only because the land they live in is so utopic that very few people go into criminal acts, especially things heinous enough to get executed for. If it wasn't for this breed of repeat criminals, there'd be no need for the justice system.

...But the reason it's so utopic is because the tree fruits secretly are hypnotizing people.

The creature in the medieval dress looks really beautiful. It's a design from the 16.th cent, right?

Awww, :huggle: the chameleon thing is so adorable.

How does a fruit from a tree where they hang people taste?:hungry:
