#1. Medusa & Gargoyle.

Siswanto is originally from Indonesia. And he is currently working at Riot Games as a splash artist.

#2. Hippogriff Foal.

This series was developed a bit earlier. “Baby Beastiary is a client project back from when I was working at Caravan Studio,” Siswanto told. “It was for a crowd funding project by Metal Weave Games. They came up with an idea for a baby creatures’ RPG book and I helped them with the visuals.”

#3. Hydra Snakelet.

He was not the only artist working on the project. “I contributed the most on volume 1 and volume 2, and I helped with art direction.”

#4. Simurgh Pup.

The clients came with a brief and it was them who picked the mythical creatures to be featured in the series.

#5. Nightmare.

“Through this project, I’ve learned a lot about not only how to create baby versions of different creatures that are already well known, but I also learned how to really observe [various little animal details], like their gestures, how they move and the proportions [of their bodies],” Siswanto said.

#6. Dragon Turtlette.
