Bring here your mythical beasts, dark monsters, alien animals and other out-of-this-world creatures of prey! All forms of visual art are accepted - draw, paint, sculpt, manipulate, craft… you name it! Artists of all levels are welcome.

Submission guidelines Most importantly, remember these three things:
Only creatures/animals. No humans, humanoids or alike. Anthropomorphic creatures can be accepted if the human features are slight (please keep these to minimum). Shapeshifters are ok, but they must be in animal/creature form.
If it exists or has existed, it wont be accepted. This group is for out-of-this-world animals. Extinct species still counts as a real animal.
The creatures have to be predators - this group is here to praise all those creatures of prey. To be clear: your animal must hunt it's food.
The submission limit is currently 5 deviations per week per user. Only members can submit artwork to the group gallery.
Only finished art! (sketches and linearts may be accepted depending on the case)
The submitted art should have good quality - meaning no lined papers, no unnecessary white space around the drawing, no photos/scans with poor quality.
The creature should be the main subject of the deviation - there can be other things too, such as normal animals, humans, landscapes etc, but the main focus should be on the creature!
Submit to the folder in which your deviation fits the best. Deviations cannot be submitted to featured, an admin chooses which pieces go there
Mature contents are accepted, just keep it tasteful and use correct mature tags. Mature content deviation without a tag will be declined!
No fanart
No normal animals with unnatural colours ("sparkledogs") or other slight unnatural features (e.g. extra tails or supernatural powers). Creatures can be based on normal animals though!
No adoptables (adoptable sheets)
If your submission gets declined, we will provide a reason why!
If you have questions or anything, please contact via note (send your note to the group or directly to the founder, ~silverybeast )
