Made this a few days ago and said let me make this a pic, so I did and made it look like an old cryptid type of photo. Happy Halloween!
The aim for this icon design is to appeal to a variety of age groups through the theme of cryptozoology. Mythical monsters can appeal to children and to young adults as proven by the video game industry. The icon designs must focus on the main characters: cryptids and showcase the characters while giving clues to the environments they are thought to reside in. The four designs should form a cohesive group whilst maintaining appropriate differences.

The Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) is a large wading bird in the stork family, Ciconiidae.
It is a widespread species which is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya south to South Africa, and in The Gambia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad in west Africa.
This is a close relative of the widespread Asian Black-necked Stork, the only other member of the genus Ephippiorhynchus.
Characteristics
The Saddle-billed Stork breeds in forested waterlands and other floodlands in tropical lowland. It builds a large, deep stick nest in a tree, laying one or two white eggs weighing about 146g each. It does not form breeding colonies, and is usually found alone or in pairs. The incubation period is 30-35 days, with another 70 - 100 days before the chicks fledge.
This is a huge bird that regularly attains a height of 150 cm (5 feet) and a 270cm (9 feet) wingspan. The male is larger and heavier than the female, with a range of 5.1-7.5 kg, the female is usually between 5 and 6.9 kg. It is probably the tallest, if not the heaviest, of the storks.
Females are distinctly smaller than the males. It is spectacularly plumaged. The head, neck, back, wings, and tail are iridescent black, with the rest of the body and the primary flight feathers being white. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the “saddle”). The legs and feet are black with pink knees.
Sexes are identically plumaged except that the female has a golden yellow iris, while the male's is brown. Juveniles are browner grey in plumage.

They are silent except for bill-clattering at the nest.
Like most storks, these fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, the large heavy bill is kept drooping somewhat below belly height, giving these birds a very unusual appearance to those who see them for the first time. To experienced birdwatchers on the other hand, this makes them easily recognizable even if seen from a distance. It has been suggested that due to the large size and unusual appearance in flight, this species is the basis for the "Big Bird" and Kongamato cryptids.
Diet / Feeding
The Saddle-billed Stork, like most of its relatives, feeds mainly on fish, frogs and crabs, but also on small birds and small reptiles. They move in a deliberate and stately manner as they hunt, in a similar way to the larger herons.
Relation to Ancient Egyptian culture
This bird is represented in an Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph (Gardiner G29) that had the phonetic value "ba":
Its description is often erroneously given as "jabiru", which is actually this species' Latin American relative. The Third Dynasty pharaoh Khaba incorporated this hieroglyph in his name (Jiménez Serrano 2002).

Every year, photos show up of the Michigan Panther, a large black cat that is never caught. From my balcony, I shot this animal creeping through the grass. It's not a panther; it's a black Lab. I posted it to show how easy it is to fall prey to suggestion. From this picture, it could appear to be either a dog or a panther.
This jackalope display at a Cabela's store in Nebraska really amused me: jackalope couple nuzzling as though in love! The male jackalope has antlers, but the rarely-seen female jackalope doesn't have antlers, of course.
Jackalopes are mythical creatures in the midwest, and I've seen them from Texas to Kansas and from Louisiana to Colorado. I don't think you could seriously call them "cryptids" - no one believes they exist. Well, no one in their right mind.
Taxidermy follies like this one remind me of "Fiji Mermaids" which are also mythical creatures created imaginatively from taxidermied animal parts. Fiji Mermaids are typically monkey torsos sewed up onto fish tails, with varying degrees of scaled skin put here and there...

(Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis)
The saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) is a large wading bird in the stork family, Ciconiidae. It is a widespread species which is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya south to South Africa, and in The Gambia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad in west Africa.
This is a close relative of the widespread Asian black-necked stork, the only other member of the genus Ephippiorhynchus.
This is a huge bird that regularly attains a height of 150 cm (59 in), a length of 142 cm (56 in) and a 2.4–2.7 m (7.9–8.9 ft) wingspan. The male is larger and heavier than the female, with a range of 5.1–7.52 kg (11.2–16.6 lb), with a mean mass of 6.38 kg (14.1 lb). The female is usually between 5 and 6.84 kg (11.0 and 15.1 lb), with a mean mass of 5.95 kg (13.1 lb). It is probably the tallest of the storks (though not the heaviest), due in no small part to it extremely long legs (tarsus length is up to 36.5 cm (14.4 in)). The long bill measures from 27.3 to 36 cm (10.7 to 14.2 in). The sexes can be readily distinguished by the golden yellow irises of the female and the brown irises and dangling yellow wattles of the male.
It is spectacularly plumaged; both the female and male appear identical when perched but the female shows much more white in the primaries in flight. The head, neck, back, wings, and tail are iridescent black, with the rest of the body and the primary flight feathers being white. Juveniles are browner grey in plumage. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the "saddle"). The legs and feet are black with pink hocks. On the chest is a bare red patch of skin, whose colour darkens during breeding season.
They are silent except for bill-clattering at the nest. Like most storks, these fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, the large heavy bill is kept drooping somewhat below belly height, giving these birds a very unusual appearance to those who see them for the first time.

Lagarfljótsormur is an Icelandic lake cryptid which is purported to live in Lagarfljót in Egilsstaðir. Sightings have been logged since 1345 and continue into the 21st century. An origin of the creature is given in Jón Árnason's collection of Icelandic folktales and legends published in 1862 and 1864.

A monumental robotic light sculpture, CRYPTID exists as a vibrant anomaly in contrast to contemporary automata, sharing a presence both radiant and reserved.

The first of a series of 26 cryptids, the Altamaha-ha was born in Native American legend, and is still said to inhabit the rivers and streams of parts of Georgia.

For the second year in a row I'm celebrating Inktober witth dodgy sketches of Cryptids based on episodes of the Cryptid Keeper podcast.
Stories of the giant leporine cryptid were eventually traced to a grizzly bear named Hank in a rabbit costume and his wrestling buddy, a buck named Benny who like to team up and freak out hunters and hikers. Assembled in GIMP.

Instead of drawing the creature in full form I chose to draw him when he was born into mother Leeds family as he's beginning to change
I had heard the tale of the tryrannosaur adopted as a mascot into the good old Home Guard back in the late 30's - who hasn't? - but was lucky enough to find this photograph as actual proof.

Window Installation at Bear and Bird Gallery -- 160 Jay Street in Schenectady, New York -- October 2022.
We asked our old artist friend Skot Olsen, who now lives in Portland, Oregon and works as a tattoo artist - to do some silhouette illustrations of the creatures he creates. He provided us with a great trove of options so we could put together this fun window installation at our Jay Street location!
All of the illustrations are by Skot, but the window itself was laid out and built by me and my family! Brenda at Truly Yours Custom Framing in Glenville, NY helped out with a couple of the cut outs too!
We hope you got to see it in person and enjoy it!
