I know this is different than what I normally post, but since it's October, I thought it would be fun to draw my favorite Edgar Allan Poe poem.

Should I keep going?

Random Fact for Fantasy World-Builders:

In #WhereTheyLurk, the magic system is crystal-based. The crystals hold magical energy, and you can deplete them of that energy completely.

The colours of the crystals does have them lean towards certain magic types, but it is not always clear.

New creature! This is a Leafscuttler. They look like leaves from above, in order to fool predators. They spend most of their lives on land, and will dig into the sand to hide.

They are essentially a mix of a horseshoe crab, green crab, and lobster. Like a horseshoe crab, they have blue blood.

Does anyone know what’s going on with these pollinators? Pollinators of all sorts were covering this lakeside bush, but not others of the same species nearby.

@ECityMom Enchanted Okotoks(Alberta, Canada). It’s a town event that is mostly geared towards kids. It combines the idea of Pokémon Go(fighting monsters on your phone) with DND(there are actors that act as NPCs).

I just went to wander, but it looked like people were having fun. Here’s the website of the people who ran the event:
https://shop.fantasybynumbers.ca/guild/enchanted-okotoks/

I wandered around a fantasy-themed event last weekend with my camera and my dog…and I made my poor dog wear a costume. Don’t worry, though, he loved all the attention it gave him. 🐾

Random thought: I want more creature related horror movies. I just love a good creature design, especially combined with escape/survival horror.

HOWEVER not the “you never see the monster” movies. I know, “your imagination is what makes it scary” and all that, but no, GIVE ME YOUR CREATURE DESIGNS. Please.🥺
