Me wish me had supplies. I used to be decent at drawing. And my mother during a moving. Tossed all my artwork from high school away. So I gave up that day.
Well, the Striga is based on slavic folklore - they were female undead, usually associated with swamps or murklands, possibly of women who drowned/died there. The barrel torso is due to bloating from the innards rotting, but other than that, they would have female features (and were often described as being able to mask their visage as when they were alive). The bloodied fangs and paws? Well they feasted on unwary travellers. And the 14yo girl? Technically, their form was derived from the bodies of deceased - and in the books, the girl was 14 when she was cursed to become a Striga...
If you're talking about the striga from the first story in the last wish, it was the other way around. The girl was born cursed, and was cured at age 14.
As much as I am in awe of your digital drawing skills, I *REALLY* prefer these hand drawn sketches with the brainstorming on the other page. It's so satisfying to watch it all come together
That's where every artist begins (or should begin). Because you first need to master the real thing to then be fully able to pic the digital brushes. The digital tools imitate the real ones, adding some tools that are impossible in real life (as the ctrl+c) but one shouldn't rely on those, one should already know how to fix a mistake WITHOUT the ctrl+z, for example. As a professional artist, I prefer to work traditional, and then use digital help if needed, since it's very useful, but not *instead* of the real stuff. Makes a huge difference in the finished job. ✨️👌
That would be amazing xD. They are such weird creatures, and although the movie versions had good designs, I was disappointed with them. They didn’t have the same vibe at all
OMG you just brought back such amazing memories!! I remember I always struggled to imagine them in a definitive way cause every time they were described there were new grotesque features about them that threw me off my previous ideas of how they could look like.
All four were amazing, but that Pennywise is like, straight from the nightmares that book gave me back when I read it for the first time. Loved your interpretation of the book description!
Yeah, that lanky, run-down look in the drawing really suits Pennywise... he looks a bit like Iron Maiden's "Eddie the Head" mascot in a low-rent clown getup, come to think of it, which actually kinda works in practice much better than it probably would have seemed on paper.
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 They had such a good shot to make the true horror come to life, but then they just cut and changed so many things and it's just some comedic horror. I was so hyped to see an artistic interpretation of this horrible spider alien and they just go "oh what if Skarsgard but spider".
Bro, your Pennywise is so much closer to how I have imagined it when I have read the book the first time in 1986. I always thought that both Curry and Skarsgard did not look like it at all. My imagination created a kind of partly decayed creature hiding these gross parts under make-up (which wasn't make-up after all). And it had an unnatural wide grin. A lot too wide. Congrats. Your sketch was amazingly close to how I would described the fucker.
It's good I think he messed up on the hair though because in the book it is described as two red tufts on either side of his head and bald on top "there were funny tufts of red hair on either side of his bald head, and there was a big clown-smile painted over his mouth."
I actually loved your Striga design! Fairly close to how I pictured her in the book-- she's a 14-year-old who was turned into this monster. It's one of my favorite tales from that series.
- I could just give you that; My Oni, and be like “Hey, look, it’s a 14 year old girl from the witcher.” This line got me absolutely dying of laughter😂
Mate that first sketch was awesome. Even though you can’t see the wanderers face, you know exactly what his facial expression would be from his stance and the beast he’s stumbled upon. Love it when I can see details in art that aren’t even shown. Well played
Some of the creatures from my country's folklore also have backwards feet, but they are like rapist leprechauns with ultra long penises wrapped around their small bodies like a meat belt. Lots of crazy monsters here!
I immediately knew that the last one was the Striga, Adda's story really is a tragic one. She was stillborn, she died along with her mother, 7 years later she was transformed into the Striga and Geralt freed her when she was 14. There are a lot more details to her story, but that's the short version.
@@qaugithaduck5771 What do you mean, I obviously know how to spell the name of the main character of a world renowned series that has books, games and shows.
@@Greedsmith yeah. And anyway who would even just completely accidentally call Geralt, Gerald instead. Its not even close... comment edited is just pure coincidence lol :D and just to be clear i dont mean any harm. I was just pulling your legs.
honestly it's really visible jazza likes this series lol. like, the drawings are automatically so much better and there's so much thought put into the design. i mean, not like jazza's art isn't always amazing but it's just always so much better when you like what you draw. all the cryptids were a really good idea to add, there's so many of them and you can easily find the ones which are not as popular but you recognize them when you hear the name.
Yeah Pennywise from the Book looks like a Clown, not a monster evil clown like 2017/2019 movies which should've been a 10-20 1 hour episodes on max. It's clown appearance is bait to lure children within ambush distance. Lures them in as a clown then becomes what scares them most so fear salts the meat of thr child just before striking. IT preys on children specifically because they have vivid imaginations and a werewolf scares a kid while overdue bills scares an adult. Because kids easily scare from monsters, IT preyed on kids primarily with exception because if they prey dies at a climax of visceral fear, IT says it salts the meat making the flesh taste better, which IT also feeds on fear itself. Just before they go back into the sewer as adults Richie makes a good point aside from saying something common sense like anyone bring guns? He points out that what if we go down there and it takes the shape of Alien from Alien 1979.
I have three cool monsters that Jazza would be absolutely clueless of: 1. Bunyip (Amphibious monster from Australian Aboriginal mythology) 2. Godrick the Grafted (Elden Ring boss who grafts creatures to himself, including a dragon) 3. Krampus (European folklore “demon” who steals children on Christmas)
@@terramarini6880 Wendigo would be really cool if they went with the actually description of wendigos, because most fan art of wendigos is very very incorrect.
“Blue or red skin” really had me convinced already. Feelin’ proud of myself. Jazza’s depiction looks like something you’d see in WoW or something. It’s really fascinating to see the beast in a style that isn’t influenced by anything Japanese.
Red or Blue skin and the loin cloth got it for me immediately, I just completely got thrown by the eye numbers because I'm mostly accustomed to the anime depictions with them usually having two.
@@cathygrandstaff1957 I know, I have only seen a handful of depictions of oni outside anime and other media. I actually didn't know they had a varying number of eyes, it was interesting to learn that
Addendum: King's creatures in general. The Langoliers, the Kingfish (Insomnia), Atropos (Insomnia), the Librarian (The Library Policeman), the aliens from Tommyknockers, the God of the Lost (The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), the Space Cowboy (Gerald's Game), Maturin (It), any of the beam guardians (Dark Tower)...
In German (to be more specific Bavarian) Folklore we have this thing called "Wolpertinger". It isn't really a monster, more like a chimera. It's always an "animal" mixed together of other animals. Probably most famous is the depiction of a Rabbit with Duck Wings, Fangs and Antlers. For more different variations I suggest Google lol. Either way, I'd love to see Jazza take on a Wolpertinger :D
Fun fact, the folklore is most likely based on rabbits which were infected with a disease that caused unusual growths to happen (SPV), they can look similar to antlers, fangs or beaks, specially in not ideal lighting, other folklore creatures most likely inspired by it were jackalopes
I guessed Oni right away lol. But I love Japanese mythology. It's a very distinct youkai. The blue/red, the loin cloth... there is a myth about the aoi and akai oni that makes these traits very recognizable if you know the story.
I’d love to see him do anything from Junji Ito! The Sandman would be cool, The Headless Horseman, Dementors, The Jabberwock, Kuchisake-Onna would be an amazing piece!
The Black Cauldron could be an interesting one to do especially if you were to do a side by comparison with how Disney interpreted the characters versus how the author Lloyd Alexander described the characters in his book.
Imagine him doing the Lovecraft cosmic horror eldritch gods / monsters. Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep, Sho-Gath, The Yellow King, Deep Ones, and so on. That would be amazing since it's hard to describe something that is "beyond our imagination". Would be a great challenge and love to see how he sees it. Great content as usual! Cheers!
I would really like to see more stuff from the lovecraft mythos as well. Elder things or yithians might as well be cool as they are so weird. I might also be interesting to try to work based on the feeling of the story instead of just the concrete description. Which I guess is most you get with most of the outer gods. I wonder what would happen if you just gave for example this as description and told it was an outer god and saw where it goes: "Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread."
That picture of the clown attires reminded me of my childhood. It's from a pattern package for childrens' costumes. My mom had those exact same patterns, and I remember that picture. Love your artistry. It is truly wonderful watching what you create, as you create it.
The second I saw the description "14 year old girl" and "shaped like a barrel", I knew it was the striga. The mop of red hair is what confirmative for me. I got very excited when it popped up, and I do enjoy the interpretation that you drew xD Also, I have an interesting idea, if not obvious one. The "kuchiseke-onna" AKA the slit-mouthed women from Japanese folklore would be great. Really, any from Japanese/Asian mythology would be cool!
14 year old girl and red hair got it for me too. Also the TH-cam algorithm reading my mind again, as I’ve had the opening cinematic of the first Witcher game in my head all day.
Honestly, sometimes I just watch a Jazza video for the positive vibes and energy he gives off, especially with how difficult uni and life in general has been for me recently.
I perfer hand drawn over the digital, I have great respect for the talented artists that produced those cartoons i grew up watching😁 Your drawings are pretty darn great, also you got a good visual imagination and able to flawlessly display it in your work.👍👍
I'd love to see Jazza trying to draw a few folklore/mythology creatures from here like Iara, Boto cor de rosa, Curupira, Saci Perere, Boi bumbá, Mula sem cabeça..
I only know what a Boto is because I read the WebToon adaptation of the "Not Even Bones" trilogy. The first book has a Boto cor de rosa character in it, who is friends/allies with the main character. I haven't read the books at all, just the WebToon. I like her (the Boto), but her backstory like everyone else's in the series, is very tragic and gruesome.
I was thinking the same thing, cause the backwards feet and red hair gave me Curupira vibes (oh, my mistake, it was long dark hair and red eyes, I combined into one thing LOL)
I'm going to have to look some of these up cuz I've never heard of them I don't think. And the only creature I've ever known with backwards feet they look like a buggy or wolf type thing was in a game I played on steam and it's called wildflowers there was some mythical fake creature they look just like that I couldn't get past his feet being backwards It really tripped me out 🤣 But I agree I love to see him draw mythical creatures from their just their descriptions
Oh boy, I'd love to see some more obscure Lovecraft characters (Like Brown Jenkin) and maybe some more Mythological creatures, I suggest he looks into Dullahan or Nukelavee
Heck yeah, at least it would be funny to see him struggle with drawing the incomprehensible. I feel like with lovecraft The important parts are not what you can describe but the things that you can’t. Sort of like an AI generated image that I saw of live action Bob the builder. everything had Photo realistic textures. every single part of the image blended with everything that was around it in a way that was natural. only problem was that The distance each object was from the camera was not consistent. it is hard for the AI to know the difference between something being out of focus because the camera is not focused on it and being out of focus because the object is small and you are zooming in on it. I can’t describe what the image looks like just that the more you look at it the more wrong it appears. The idea that things can be far away and close at the same time is impossible to comprehend and yet there is an image of it that you can look at. Lovecraft would have a field day with that one.
My personal interpretation of "splitting forehead" was a more vertical split rather than a horizontal split, yet your take feels both more and less terrifying, kind off giving me Five Nights at Freddy's 4 vibes and I absolutely love it.
I agree, I 👎drew before Jazza started✍️. But now, it’s like I actually understand the 🌎! 😮🤩! Does anyone else think jazza’s one of the best artists?👨🎨
Even though the Striga came out WILDLY different lol, I loved your design. Honestly something like that would be even creepier. Like, imagine wandering through some old medieval town at night. It's foggy. It's darker than dark. And that thing comes shambling in and out of the shadows cast by lanterns or whatever. Would definitely make a good ghost story or something of the like.
I mean, the descriptions were from the book, and the people who made the game and the movie had to figure out how to create that from the description as well. So I don't necessarily think the game or movie got it any more right than this rendition did.
It would also be cool to see a Stranger Things themed episode where you draw each monster based on their inspired Dungeons and Dragons monsters’ descriptions. This series could go on forever honestly
In Scottish folklore there is a creature called "Redcap" it is depicted as: "a short, thickset old elf with long prominent teeth, skinny fingers armed with talons like eagles, large eyes of a fiery red colour, grisly hair streaming down his shoulders, and a red blood drenched cap on its head".
I love seeing your thought process. The left page is always so interesting to me, and I'm glad you're willing to show us your creative process along the way to making the final drawing.
I love the pennywise one, it looks like the scenes in the book where it kind of merges between a clown and whatever the victim is most afraid of. This is probably something similar to what Ben would have seen as a mixture between pennywise and the mummy. This is absolutely awesome, I remember I always tried to draw his book description but didn't have the talent so it's awesome to see a professional do the book' character design justice.
Chasm Fiends from the Stormlight Archive! There aren't any depictions in media, but there are renditions in the books for us to see drawn by someone who is a character in the story! I think they would be really fun. There are a bunch of other creatures in that series that are very clearly described and I think it's kind of a treasure trove!
Need more of this. It would be interesting to see you describe some things from various mythologies. Japanese gods, beasts and giants from the Norse mythology world, stuff like that. This series could be endless.
@@Kang501 Well, it's only work, you can have it if you really want to ^^" I'm a drawer too. I got into an art school at 20 years old (I'm 22 now), and have I think a good level since I was considered as the best drawer in my class, where there was some people that I considered really good. And when did I started? At 15! When the best I could do was freaking stickmans I swear to you XD I was not able to do a single muscle on a human shape without failing the muscle itself, the proportions, and the human shape 🤣But I really wanted to be able to draw what I want, started from nothing, loved that, and it became a passion! So I worked hard and put a lot of time at reproducing pictures, trying things I wasn't still able to do, and I progressed in no time I can assure you! (Maybe in my case I'm helped with the fact that I see every mistakes with ease on drawings, so I rapidly know what to work on and how, but that's all). And even before I entered into my art school, I was able to draw a whole muscular human without any picture and without failing the muscles, the proportions, the posture, etc. Maybe some very very rare people are talented at the base due to pecularities, but most of the time, it's just work. You put time and effort to be able to draw at a good level. Takes a lot of effort tho to do what he do (Draw things "only" from his mind), but if you love draw, you can do it, just like anyone else. I've seen many people like you. Heard it myself "You're so talented, I wish I could draw like you", or even "You have a real gift" and you know, it mostly piss me of XD I know it came from a good intention, but in the end it's almost an insult, cause it makes me feel that all they see is the result, and not the work behind that. The thousands hours passed to draw to perfect myself, wiped away cause people think I'm just talented. There's nothing about being talented or having a gift. Draw is like anything else, if you want to be good at it, then you must work for it. But anyone can achieve that level, it's only a question of time and will ^^
@@WolffQuam bro, drawing was my hobby as a kid, I used to spend hours upon hours on trying to perfect what I was drawing, I know the frustration, you feel like no matter how hard you try, you just weren’t meant to draw
Drawing Booya Moon or the the Long Boys would be pretty epic. Liseys Story is one of my favorite books and I love imagining Booya Moon when I'm stressed.
For the ending prompt, it specifies '14 year old girl' because it's actually a reference to a specific Striga called Adda the White, who shows up in one of the short stories in 'The Last Wish'.
@@Thimbrethil The Last Wish short story is about how Geralt and Yennefer met, but the book of the same name also contains the short story The Witcher where Geralt fights the striga. It's the first book, too, even though the original publication order doesn't reflect that because the stories were already published before separately.
@@Thimbrethil You're absolutely right that the short story about Geralt and Yen meeting is calaled The Last Wish. However there's also a book called The Last Wish, which contains a bunch of short stories. The Last Wish (the short story) is in that book. It's a bit confusing, yes. XD
I'll never get tired of watching the creative process you do before comitting to the final illustration I was able to guess the Striga. Granted, I'm re-reading the Witcher books at this moment so this description is still pretty fresh in my memory :) In the story, at the time when Geralt confronted her, she was a cursed 14-year old girl
Never heard of it before, but your Yowie is 10x more amazing than the source material picture you showed in the video! Your drawing has such emotion in his face & eyes, and his bird-like hand claws look very natural. Amazing!
A lot of really cool monsters from Christopher Paolini’s books! Whether they be from the Eragon series or his new sci fi book To Sleep In A See Of Stars! Beyond that Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files has some stellar monsters
1. Immediately knew it was an Oni : I’m a youkai fan. 2. Obviously, the second it looks like a clown, no surprise lol 3. Oh, that one was actually a new one for me ! Nice ! 4. We all got fooled by the « 14 years old girl » clue lol
@@michaelrondon5472 I didn't emerged (yet?) in the Witcher lore, so I'm gonna ask : Really ? So, all Striga are always created from 14 years old girls ?
Im obsessed with your striga design. If you would make a picture book out of all the charakters based on the book descriptions I would buy it. It totally captures the vibe of the books and how the monsters are described
YES, so good to see people still hand draw. Usually, it's ALWAYS digital, and the textures and warmth just aren't the same, plus I feel like I can smell these pictures ❤
Grendel or Grendel's mother from Beowulf would be pretty cool to see. Also, Yrael (Mogget's true form) from Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series would be another great one. (Really wish they'd make movies out of that series. It's such an unusual world and concept.)
These videos are really fun! For a future book/movie character video, this prompt would be cool to see: 1. Middle aged man, around 50 2. Pale yellowish skin, like parchment. 3. Very thin and tall, dressed in black from head to toe(sometimes wears a cape with his suit) 4. His eyes are so sunken into his skull, you could easily miss the red shine from his irises peeking through at first glance(his eyes can also glow yellow in the dark) 5. Is mostly bald and only has a few wisps of ink-black hair on his head 6. A large hole where his nose should be and sunken in cheeks, giving him a skull-like appearance 7. Victorian Era
I think a really cool monster to do would be the monster/creature from Mrs. Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. It’s been a while since I read the book, so I don’t totally remember how they’re described there, but the way the movie depicts them is very cool.
it’s funny you brought up the monsters, because i did the hollows from the movie with all of the tentacles, for an art project where i did it in paper mache
Oh, you could try creatures from Brazilian folklore, like Boitatá, Curupira, or Cuca. I'm curious about how Jazza would depict them, and I'd be impressed if he guessed any 😂
From the beginning of this serie, I'm thinking of Ra'zac and Lethrblaka from Eragon's novels! I think there is a quite precise descriptions in the book and I'm really interested to see Jazza's interpretation! (and to see if he knows and will recognise them)
I honestly like what your team already started, getting into the Yokai (Japanese mythological monsters) and cryptis from different cultures. That's really cool, keep going team!
Would you ever consider making an episode featuring the aliens of Animorphs? That scifi series has so many amazing creatures I would like to see you draw. The world always needs more Animorphs content.
I got striga from the prompt. Your reaction to the reveal was hysterical jazz. 🤣 the show seriously cranked up the monster factor, but that is how a striga was described in the book.
The Thing with the Striga is that the only one we meet in the Witcher books used to be a 14 year old girl that was cursed. So thats where it comes from, I guessed it btw, the red bloody paws and the way you drew them gave me some Striga vibes.
I would definitely watch a movie with your 'striga' version in it. She looks cool and strangely comes across as being nice, despite the blood on her paws... I like her 😅
While they don't have film depictions, Mordred from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" is really cool. They're basically a human-spider demon hybrid that can shape shift between human and a giant spider, or even arbitrarily grow spider legs in their human form.
@@king_dot He was in my original comment then I remembered that he and Mordred are pretty similar. It's been a while, but I remember that they have the same powers, more or less, but TKC just wears a crimson cloak.
There are tons of creatures from the TV show Supernatural that could be useful: wendigo, skinwalker, shapeshifter, djinn, etc. Another good source would be Harry Potter's fantastic beast book: dementor, hairy mcboon, hide-behind, lethifold, etc. It could be cool to see how he would draw the various mutts from Hunger Games (because the descriptions were very creepy, especially the third book) or maybe even supervillains like Killer Croc or the Scarecrow. Thanks for all the work on these videos, they are so cool!
ABSOLUTELY love these direct interpretations! I used to read a lot but stopped later in my life. Some of these really had me confused but the description of Pennnywise was VERY iconic and the drawing from the descriptions was WAY better than the screen interpretations! I'm not actually afraid of clowns but that was just something out of a nightmare. * * * * * * I would love to see the depictions of some of the Wheel of Time series monsters or people but not sure what you would get as a baseline with the series taking so long to be developed. I think they would be amazing!
14:35 The reason the striga is hard to guess is because they gave you the book description and it has never really been depicted accurately in any visual medium and the description in the book is very odd. It’s supposed to basically look like a bloated corpse of a little girl thats been possessed by a demon. I feel like the striga you depicted though would be a decent take for an animated witcher depiction. It would look very out of place and old world fairy tale esque.
These are seriously so much fun! I think Jazza should do more of the legend monsters like the Yowie. I would love to see his interpretations of more of these, there are so many out there you could definitely fill an entire episode, maybe two or three in a series!
would love to see some of the aliens from the Animorphs series get depicted, they're all absolutely wild and I don't think a lot of the cover art/adaptations have done them justice
The first part was so great but I have to admit I had some different ideas regarding the design of Cthulhu, could it be a biased vision... maybe😂😂but regardless it was an incredible video. I can't wait to see how these designs turn out😱😱
actually with the striga i was confused as well, then i saw your drawing on the face and directly went like "this could be a striga!" so the description didnt give it away for me, but your confused drawing did the job :D
I would love to see your depiction of one of the big bad guys from LOTR, such as Sauron, Morgoth, or even Glaurung from Children of Hurin. Or another idea is Grendel/ Grendel’s mother from Beowulf. Great vids dude!
I'd love to see this guys interpretation of other lovecraft creatures, like the Yith or great old ones. Also Tash from Narnia chronicles has never had much attention, let alone a screen adaptation.
I always love seeing people's depictions of Elder Things -- they're a hard one to visualize. Also Lovecraftian: the original Thing from "Who Goes There?" -- in the story, it has a base shape that doesn't match either the "Thing From Another World" or John Carpenter's "The Thing": - Rubbery blue skin - Three red eyes - Worm-like tendrils that grow like hair - Four tentacle-like arms with seven tentacle-fingers on the end - Thin lips and snake-like fangs
It would be cool to describe the aliens from Ben 10 and see what Jazza interprets them as, also the monsters from goosebumps would be a nice addition to the challenge. But wow, lovely drawings this time around too, I feel like you were more confused about them in this video compared to the previous video, it was hilarious seeing you try to piece together the last monster!
Yes! I guessed Oni and Striga! The girl that becomes the striga is 14, thus that description. Excellent work on the Oni, I wish the description had included "wields an iron mace" so you had drawn your version of a kanabo

I would love to see Jazza blindly trying to draw SCPs based on their descriptions
LITERALLY WOULD BE SO COOL
That would be great, some SCPs have really detailed descriptions!
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO SEE THIS
this would be amazing
Yes. Drawfee has done this prompt, and it was amazing. I'd love to see Jazza do it too.
Well, the Striga is based on slavic folklore - they were female undead, usually associated with swamps or murklands, possibly of women who drowned/died there. The barrel torso is due to bloating from the innards rotting, but other than that, they would have female features (and were often described as being able to mask their visage as when they were alive). The bloodied fangs and paws? Well they feasted on unwary travellers. And the 14yo girl? Technically, their form was derived from the bodies of deceased - and in the books, the girl was 14 when she was cursed to become a Striga...
If you're talking about the striga from the first story in the last wish, it was the other way around. The girl was born cursed, and was cured at age 14.
@@Alpha_Synergy yeah, sorry, mixed that up, since she technically wasn't a real undead but only cursed actually growing to that age.
So why did the actual character in The Witcher just look like a werewolf? I didn't see literally any of those features on that creature lol
@@kaetispannbauer9082 Someone in the production thought it would be scarier and visually interesting than a girl.
@@cidevant002 which is silly - as all horror movies can confirm - there is nothing scarrier than a little girl
Honestly? If this became a regular series, I'd watch every episode
Agreed.

2:50 Your impression of a guy in a Tavern describing the first monster was pure class 😂
I suddenly wanted him to run a D&D game for me.. lol
Definitely would make me as the adventurer and to go out and foolishly find it and possibly die.
Would love to see Dracula’s book description used as a prompt, since it is so different from the pop culture depictions.
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure he did that in one of the other videos in this series. The draw from description series.
@@greysonleins Oooh okay. Thanks.
Castlevania Dracula actually looks pretty close to how the book describes his youthful appearance while wandering the streets of London.
@@jakobrenner2230 Dracula is depicted as old looking He's meant to look like a 60 (or so) year old man
Or how he is described in the novel 'anno dracula' although not very youtube friendly as per NSFW
As much as I am in awe of your digital drawing skills, I *REALLY* prefer these hand drawn sketches with the brainstorming on the other page. It's so satisfying to watch it all come together
Yes
That's where every artist begins (or should begin). Because you first need to master the real thing to then be fully able to pic the digital brushes. The digital tools imitate the real ones, adding some tools that are impossible in real life (as the ctrl+c) but one shouldn't rely on those, one should already know how to fix a mistake WITHOUT the ctrl+z, for example. As a professional artist, I prefer to work traditional, and then use digital help if needed, since it's very useful, but not *instead* of the real stuff. Makes a huge difference in the finished job. ✨️👌
Yeah me too!
I think a "Griever" from the Maze Runner novel would be a challenge! Definitely one of the oddest monster descriptions I have come across.
That would be amazing xD. They are such weird creatures, and although the movie versions had good designs, I was disappointed with them. They didn’t have the same vibe at all
OMG you just brought back such amazing memories!! I remember I always struggled to imagine them in a definitive way cause every time they were described there were new grotesque features about them that threw me off my previous ideas of how they could look like.
Yes!
Literally was thinking about this
True, the movie versions were definitely more spider like, whereas they were more described as slugs or something.
Gotta give props to that medieval lad for being more confused than terrified.
Ikr lol
All four were amazing, but that Pennywise is like, straight from the nightmares that book gave me back when I read it for the first time. Loved your interpretation of the book description!
Yeah, that lanky, run-down look in the drawing really suits Pennywise... he looks a bit like Iron Maiden's "Eddie the Head" mascot in a low-rent clown getup, come to think of it, which actually kinda works in practice much better than it probably would have seemed on paper.
When It said split forehead I hoped he would just put a crack in the middle or smt
Imagine if that was the design that we have gotten for Pennywise for either the original 90s mini-series or the 2016/19 two-part movies.
How about "Pickman's Model' from HP Lovecraft?
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 They had such a good shot to make the true horror come to life, but then they just cut and changed so many things and it's just some comedic horror.
I was so hyped to see an artistic interpretation of this horrible spider alien and they just go "oh what if Skarsgard but spider".
Bro, your Pennywise is so much closer to how I have imagined it when I have read the book the first time in 1986. I always thought that both Curry and Skarsgard did not look like it at all. My imagination created a kind of partly decayed creature hiding these gross parts under make-up (which wasn't make-up after all). And it had an unnatural wide grin. A lot too wide. Congrats. Your sketch was amazingly close to how I would described the fucker.
Yes, and it’s a whole lot scarier looking than Tim or Bill’s.
The biggest thing to that I like? It's teeth and maw... ALMOST evoke a Spider's mandibles a bit!
Seeing Jazza's Pennywise design in a movie moving about in the darkness would give me endless nightmares
@@taoist32 nope
It's good I think he messed up on the hair though because in the book it is described as two red tufts on either side of his head and bald on top "there were funny tufts of red hair on either side of his bald head, and there was a big clown-smile painted over his mouth."
I actually loved your Striga design! Fairly close to how I pictured her in the book-- she's a 14-year-old who was turned into this monster. It's one of my favorite tales from that series.
I'll be honest, because it mentioned that she was a 14 year old girl, i knew right away 😂😂
@@beeboi1473 true
Your Oni design is pretty much exactly how it would look like as if it were a Witcher enemy. Love it!
I would love to see him draw D&D monsters based only on description. There are some REALLY gnarly ones.
seconded! that would be awesome to see
Ai
100% agreed! And there's so many of them he could make an entire series on them! xD
That would be crazy cool….
Yes!!! This idea right here.
- I could just give you that; My Oni, and be like “Hey, look, it’s a 14 year old girl from the witcher.”
This line got me absolutely dying of laughter😂
It's also a 14 year old girl from my Highschool.
I grew up in a rough town.
@@TheOnceMoreGaming 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 it gave me demon slayer or Kimetsu no Yaiba vibes 🤣🤣

Mate that first sketch was awesome. Even though you can’t see the wanderers face, you know exactly what his facial expression would be from his stance and the beast he’s stumbled upon. Love it when I can see details in art that aren’t even shown. Well played
I really loved the voice acting! It felt like a really good audio book
Cant believe no one mentioned the AMAZING tavern voice acting👏🏻👏🏻
It wasn't very good.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts🔪
Love that Jazza spent ages agonising over how to handle the backwards feet on the Yowie and the reference image just had regular feet xD
Lmao what there was one regular food
Also both Oni references had two eyes despite the description saying either one or three
@@lkctom2546 The foot on the left is not backwards. Its pronated out to the side.
@Waffles It also said 3 or 1 eyes were optional. There are oni with more 3 or 1 eyes but most have 2.
Some of the creatures from my country's folklore also have backwards feet, but they are like rapist leprechauns with ultra long penises wrapped around their small bodies like a meat belt. Lots of crazy monsters here!
I immediately knew that the last one was the Striga, Adda's story really is a tragic one.
She was stillborn, she died along with her mother, 7 years later she was transformed into the Striga and Geralt freed her when she was 14.
There are a lot more details to her story, but that's the short version.
Gerald.....
Gerald…..

@@qaugithaduck5771 What do you mean, I obviously know how to spell the name of the main character of a world renowned series that has books, games and shows.
@@Greedsmith yeah. And anyway who would even just completely accidentally call Geralt, Gerald instead. Its not even close... comment edited is just pure coincidence lol :D and just to be clear i dont mean any harm. I was just pulling your legs.
honestly it's really visible jazza likes this series lol. like, the drawings are automatically so much better and there's so much thought put into the design. i mean, not like jazza's art isn't always amazing but it's just always so much better when you like what you draw. all the cryptids were a really good idea to add, there's so many of them and you can easily find the ones which are not as popular but you recognize them when you hear the name.
Wow, your pennywise is out of this world. Best pennywise art I've ever seen. I'd love to see your interpretation of Bagul from Sinister!
Yeah Pennywise from the Book looks like a Clown, not a monster evil clown like 2017/2019 movies which should've been a 10-20 1 hour episodes on max. It's clown appearance is bait to lure children within ambush distance. Lures them in as a clown then becomes what scares them most so fear salts the meat of thr child just before striking. IT preys on children specifically because they have vivid imaginations and a werewolf scares a kid while overdue bills scares an adult. Because kids easily scare from monsters, IT preyed on kids primarily with exception because if they prey dies at a climax of visceral fear, IT says it salts the meat making the flesh taste better, which IT also feeds on fear itself. Just before they go back into the sewer as adults Richie makes a good point aside from saying something common sense like anyone bring guns? He points out that what if we go down there and it takes the shape of Alien from Alien 1979.
I personally found the movie pennywise to be a bit to bright. Too clean. ..this one is the old school horror I imagine Stephen king looking at
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto Oh ok
@@azazielsolaron3992 both, both is good
I have three cool monsters that Jazza would be absolutely clueless of:
1. Bunyip (Amphibious monster from Australian Aboriginal mythology)
2. Godrick the Grafted (Elden Ring boss who grafts creatures to himself, including a dragon)
3. Krampus (European folklore “demon” who steals children on Christmas)
Add wendigo and skinwalkers and a few others from native american folklore.
@@terramarini6880 Wendigo would be really cool if they went with the actually description of wendigos, because most fan art of wendigos is very very incorrect.

@@terramarini6880 ngruvillu!
“Blue or red skin” really had me convinced already. Feelin’ proud of myself. Jazza’s depiction looks like something you’d see in WoW or something. It’s really fascinating to see the beast in a style that isn’t influenced by anything Japanese.
Red or Blue skin and the loin cloth got it for me immediately, I just completely got thrown by the eye numbers because I'm mostly accustomed to the anime depictions with them usually having two.
@@lacytaylor1501 i knew it because of a Japanese kids song lol
@@lacytaylor1501 It did say 1 or 3 eyes optional, and I recognized that it could have 1 or 3 eyes from Japanese artwork depicting scenes of hell.
@@cathygrandstaff1957 I know, I have only seen a handful of depictions of oni outside anime and other media. I actually didn't know they had a varying number of eyes, it was interesting to learn that
I immediately thought oni and then went, but that's not a book character...
Monsters from Stephen Kings „The Mist“ would be very cool. Always wondered what they might look like!
YES!
Addendum: King's creatures in general. The Langoliers, the Kingfish (Insomnia), Atropos (Insomnia), the Librarian (The Library Policeman), the aliens from Tommyknockers, the God of the Lost (The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), the Space Cowboy (Gerald's Game), Maturin (It), any of the beam guardians (Dark Tower)...
Can we just appreciate how good of an artist he is 😮
Yeah he should really make a career out of it
@@caritahearts2405Yeah he should really make a career out of it
Yeah he should make videos sharing his artistry so everyone can enjoy it.
In German (to be more specific Bavarian) Folklore we have this thing called "Wolpertinger". It isn't really a monster, more like a chimera. It's always an "animal" mixed together of other animals. Probably most famous is the depiction of a Rabbit with Duck Wings, Fangs and Antlers. For more different variations I suggest Google lol. Either way, I'd love to see Jazza take on a Wolpertinger :D
Rechts, oder linksläufig?
According to Google a Wolpertinger can also look like a squirrel with a duck beak 😂
that would be so funnyyy
Fun fact, the folklore is most likely based on rabbits which were infected with a disease that caused unusual growths to happen (SPV), they can look similar to antlers, fangs or beaks, specially in not ideal lighting, other folklore creatures most likely inspired by it were jackalopes
@game boy I always thought wolpertingers and jackalopes were the same, just that wolpertinger is german, and jackalope english
I would LOVE to see Jazza draw how the Bible describes angels.
Fuck yes!
He did it!
This aged like fine wine
Some of them would have WAY to many wings. 😇😉
That's a good one!
He NEEDS to do more folklore monsters
I guessed Oni right away lol. But I love Japanese mythology. It's a very distinct youkai. The blue/red, the loin cloth... there is a myth about the aoi and akai oni that makes these traits very recognizable if you know the story.
I’d love to see him do anything from Junji Ito! The Sandman would be cool, The Headless Horseman, Dementors, The Jabberwock, Kuchisake-Onna would be an amazing piece!
I love his art, I remember him making one in his style for banette (a ghost type Pokémon) and apparently it was too scary to be official lmao!
I’d love to see the Hork-Bajir or Andalites from Animorphs!
@@thechad4485 ya that’d be neat to see!
@@Ditto.007 his art is incredible it makes me want to start learning how to draw and color. I’m terrible at it 😅
Along with Dementors, he could do their inspirations, the cloud creatures from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Giant Peach.
The Black Cauldron could be an interesting one to do especially if you were to do a side by comparison with how Disney interpreted the characters versus how the author Lloyd Alexander described the characters in his book.
Here to say that I would like this to happen.
Imagine him doing the Lovecraft cosmic horror eldritch gods / monsters. Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep, Sho-Gath, The Yellow King, Deep Ones, and so on. That would be amazing since it's hard to describe something that is "beyond our imagination". Would be a great challenge and love to see how he sees it. Great content as usual! Cheers!
I can't even pronounce some of those lol
This needs to happen!
I actually was expecting to see some of Lovecrafts monster in this video! Hope it will come in another one!
I would really like to see more stuff from the lovecraft mythos as well. Elder things or yithians might as well be cool as they are so weird. I might also be interesting to try to work based on the feeling of the story instead of just the concrete description. Which I guess is most you get with most of the outer gods. I wonder what would happen if you just gave for example this as description and told it was an outer god and saw where it goes:
"Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread."
@@bubbabot6049 But can you pronounce the name of Lovecraft's cat?
That picture of the clown attires reminded me of my childhood. It's from a pattern package for childrens' costumes. My mom had those exact same patterns, and I remember that picture. Love your artistry. It is truly wonderful watching what you create, as you create it.
The second I saw the description "14 year old girl" and "shaped like a barrel", I knew it was the striga. The mop of red hair is what confirmative for me.
I got very excited when it popped up, and I do enjoy the interpretation that you drew xD
Also, I have an interesting idea, if not obvious one. The "kuchiseke-onna" AKA the slit-mouthed women from Japanese folklore would be great.
Really, any from Japanese/Asian mythology would be cool!
bruh that shit did not look like a barrel. you're capping out of your mind bruh. no shot you guessed that
*fourteen year old girl shaped like a barrel*
FR especially southern-Asian stuff cause I never see that
Slit-mouth? Sounds more Canadian…
14 year old girl and red hair got it for me too. Also the TH-cam algorithm reading my mind again, as I’ve had the opening cinematic of the first Witcher game in my head all day.
Please make this a whole series, I am loving every second of it!
Honestly, sometimes I just watch a Jazza video for the positive vibes and energy he gives off, especially with how difficult uni and life in general has been for me recently.
i'd recommend even and katelyn as another uplifting channel if you don't already. they're so upbeat, nice, and fun to watch.
Same mate! You’ll be okay and do just fine
I perfer hand drawn over the digital, I have great respect for the talented artists that produced those cartoons i grew up watching😁
Your drawings are pretty darn great, also you got a good visual imagination and able to flawlessly display it in your work.👍👍
Jazz’s voice would be AMAZING in an audiobook
This has to happennnnn
Absolutely. He can add "voice actor" to his long list of creative talents.
Or for animated movies...Pixar I found someone!
I'd love to see Jazza trying to draw a few folklore/mythology creatures from here like Iara, Boto cor de rosa, Curupira, Saci Perere, Boi bumbá, Mula sem cabeça..
when I saw the description of backwards feet for the 2nd one, I thought it was gonna be Curupira
I only know what a Boto is because I read the WebToon adaptation of the "Not Even Bones" trilogy. The first book has a Boto cor de rosa character in it, who is friends/allies with the main character. I haven't read the books at all, just the WebToon. I like her (the Boto), but her backstory like everyone else's in the series, is very tragic and gruesome.
my thoughts exactly
I was thinking the same thing, cause the backwards feet and red hair gave me Curupira vibes (oh, my mistake, it was long dark hair and red eyes, I combined into one thing LOL)
I'm going to have to look some of these up cuz I've never heard of them I don't think. And the only creature I've ever known with backwards feet they look like a buggy or wolf type thing was in a game I played on steam and it's called wildflowers there was some mythical fake creature they look just like that I couldn't get past his feet being backwards It really tripped me out 🤣
But I agree I love to see him draw mythical creatures from their just their descriptions
Oh boy, I'd love to see some more obscure Lovecraft characters (Like Brown Jenkin) and maybe some more Mythological creatures, I suggest he looks into Dullahan or Nukelavee
Shoggoths :D
@@StickyTank I see your Shoggoths and raise you the Elder Things
@@camblycreeper7999 Ah, the Elder Things have a wild description, it would be cool to see a drawing of those
@@camblycreeper7999 Shub Niggurath...
Heck yeah, at least it would be funny to see him struggle with drawing the incomprehensible. I feel like with lovecraft The important parts are not what you can describe but the things that you can’t.
Sort of like an AI generated image that I saw of live action Bob the builder. everything had Photo realistic textures. every single part of the image blended with everything that was around it in a way that was natural. only problem was that The distance each object was from the camera was not consistent. it is hard for the AI to know the difference between something being out of focus because the camera is not focused on it and being out of focus because the object is small and you are zooming in on it. I can’t describe what the image looks like just that the more you look at it the more wrong it appears. The idea that things can be far away and close at the same time is impossible to comprehend and yet there is an image of it that you can look at. Lovecraft would have a field day with that one.
My personal interpretation of "splitting forehead" was a more vertical split rather than a horizontal split, yet your take feels both more and less terrifying, kind off giving me Five Nights at Freddy's 4 vibes and I absolutely love it.
This honestly gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation to draw, I love jazza’s art style and how he experiments with almost every medium
I agree, I 👎drew before Jazza started✍️. But now, it’s like I actually understand the 🌎! 😮🤩!
Does anyone else think jazza’s one of the best artists?👨🎨
Even though the Striga came out WILDLY different lol, I loved your design. Honestly something like that would be even creepier. Like, imagine wandering through some old medieval town at night. It's foggy. It's darker than dark. And that thing comes shambling in and out of the shadows cast by lanterns or whatever. Would definitely make a good ghost story or something of the like.
I mean, the descriptions were from the book, and the people who made the game and the movie had to figure out how to create that from the description as well. So I don't necessarily think the game or movie got it any more right than this rendition did.
It would also be cool to see a Stranger Things themed episode where you draw each monster based on their inspired Dungeons and Dragons monsters’ descriptions. This series could go on forever honestly
13:02 most 14 yr old girls are pretty terrifying all by themselves 😂
As a former 14 year old girl, can confirm.
In Scottish folklore there is a creature called "Redcap" it is depicted as:
"a short, thickset old elf with long prominent teeth, skinny fingers armed with talons like eagles, large eyes of a fiery red colour, grisly hair streaming down his shoulders, and a red blood drenched cap on its head".
I love seeing your thought process. The left page is always so interesting to me, and I'm glad you're willing to show us your creative process along the way to making the final drawing.
Agreed! That's half of the fun for me, seeing the process and putting all the pieces together.
This show reminds me of watching art attack as a kid so much just the adult version, I love it
My favorite art show during middle school 😊😊 I even did one the arts although quite messy compare to the show. The memories...
I used to enjoy watching art attack with my daughter
I love the pennywise one, it looks like the scenes in the book where it kind of merges between a clown and whatever the victim is most afraid of. This is probably something similar to what Ben would have seen as a mixture between pennywise and the mummy. This is absolutely awesome, I remember I always tried to draw his book description but didn't have the talent so it's awesome to see a professional do the book' character design justice.
Chasm Fiends from the Stormlight Archive! There aren't any depictions in media, but there are renditions in the books for us to see drawn by someone who is a character in the story! I think they would be really fun. There are a bunch of other creatures in that series that are very clearly described and I think it's kind of a treasure trove!
Need more of this. It would be interesting to see you describe some things from various mythologies. Japanese gods, beasts and giants from the Norse mythology world, stuff like that. This series could be endless.

I'm a drawer too. I got into an art school at 20 years old (I'm 22 now), and have I think a good level since I was considered as the best drawer in my class, where there was some people that I considered really good.
And when did I started? At 15! When the best I could do was freaking stickmans I swear to you XD I was not able to do a single muscle on a human shape without failing the muscle itself, the proportions, and the human shape 🤣But I really wanted to be able to draw what I want, started from nothing, loved that, and it became a passion! So I worked hard and put a lot of time at reproducing pictures, trying things I wasn't still able to do, and I progressed in no time I can assure you! (Maybe in my case I'm helped with the fact that I see every mistakes with ease on drawings, so I rapidly know what to work on and how, but that's all). And even before I entered into my art school, I was able to draw a whole muscular human without any picture and without failing the muscles, the proportions, the posture, etc.
Maybe some very very rare people are talented at the base due to pecularities, but most of the time, it's just work. You put time and effort to be able to draw at a good level. Takes a lot of effort tho to do what he do (Draw things "only" from his mind), but if you love draw, you can do it, just like anyone else.
I've seen many people like you. Heard it myself "You're so talented, I wish I could draw like you", or even "You have a real gift" and you know, it mostly piss me of XD I know it came from a good intention, but in the end it's almost an insult, cause it makes me feel that all they see is the result, and not the work behind that. The thousands hours passed to draw to perfect myself, wiped away cause people think I'm just talented.
There's nothing about being talented or having a gift. Draw is like anything else, if you want to be good at it, then you must work for it. But anyone can achieve that level, it's only a question of time and will ^^
It is nothing like a superpower.
@@WolffQuam bro, drawing was my hobby as a kid, I used to spend hours upon hours on trying to perfect what I was drawing, I know the frustration, you feel like no matter how hard you try, you just weren’t meant to draw
Drawing Booya Moon or the the Long Boys would be pretty epic. Liseys Story is one of my favorite books and I love imagining Booya Moon when I'm stressed.

This is an absolutely amazing series!
i suggested the stormlight archives as well! they have so many cool creatures to pick from !
YES

For the ending prompt, it specifies '14 year old girl' because it's actually a reference to a specific Striga called Adda the White, who shows up in one of the short stories in 'The Last Wish'.
Are you shure it was The Last Wish? I think this one was about how Geralt met Yennefer.
@@Thimbrethil The Last Wish short story is about how Geralt and Yennefer met, but the book of the same name also contains the short story The Witcher where Geralt fights the striga.

@@harris6062 It's the same one from the intro of the first game and end of the first Netflix season right? I just assumed that was the reference.

I was able to guess the Striga. Granted, I'm re-reading the Witcher books at this moment so this description is still pretty fresh in my memory :)
In the story, at the time when Geralt confronted her, she was a cursed 14-year old girl
Never heard of it before, but your Yowie is 10x more amazing than the source material picture you showed in the video! Your drawing has such emotion in his face & eyes, and his bird-like hand claws look very natural. Amazing!
A lot of really cool monsters from Christopher Paolini’s books! Whether they be from the Eragon series or his new sci fi book To Sleep In A See Of Stars! Beyond that Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files has some stellar monsters

YES, so good to see people still hand draw. Usually, it's ALWAYS digital, and the textures and warmth just aren't the same, plus I feel like I can smell these pictures ❤
Grendel or Grendel's mother from Beowulf would be pretty cool to see. Also, Yrael (Mogget's true form) from Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series would be another great one. (Really wish they'd make movies out of that series. It's such an unusual world and concept.)

Grendel and his mother would be amazing for this series

These videos are really fun! For a future book/movie character video, this prompt would be cool to see:
1. Middle aged man, around 50
2. Pale yellowish skin, like parchment.
3. Very thin and tall, dressed in black from head to toe(sometimes wears a cape with his suit)
4. His eyes are so sunken into his skull, you could easily miss the red shine from his irises peeking through at first glance(his eyes can also glow yellow in the dark)

Not only was this fun, but your drawing was amazing. I love the style very clean and crisp, and this is a great idea so much fun subscribed.
these are absolutely amazing (pt1 & pt2), i'd love you to draw more obscure folklore monsters so you can't be influenced even subconsciously
I would love a Junji Ito edition this would go crazy!!
And the library of choices is huge. :D The man is a monster creating genius.
Well now that you've said it, I need to see Jazza's interpretation of Tomie. 🧐
I think a really cool monster to do would be the monster/creature from Mrs. Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. It’s been a while since I read the book, so I don’t totally remember how they’re described there, but the way the movie depicts them is very cool.
it’s funny you brought up the monsters, because i did the hollows from the movie with all of the tentacles, for an art project where i did it in paper mache
yes i thought of that too!
I've never read the book but I really like the movie
You're one of those artists who make drawing seem so easy and so fluid even though it isn't. Love your style 👍🔥
Oh, you could try creatures from Brazilian folklore, like Boitatá, Curupira, or Cuca. I'm curious about how Jazza would depict them, and I'd be impressed if he guessed any 😂
From the beginning of this serie, I'm thinking of Ra'zac and Lethrblaka from Eragon's novels! I think there is a quite precise descriptions in the book and I'm really interested to see Jazza's interpretation! (and to see if he knows and will recognise them)
Same I really love those books
DUDE YES!!!
I honestly like what your team already started, getting into the Yokai (Japanese mythological monsters) and cryptis from different cultures. That's really cool, keep going team!
Would you ever consider making an episode featuring the aliens of Animorphs? That scifi series has so many amazing creatures I would like to see you draw. The world always needs more Animorphs content.
I got striga from the prompt. Your reaction to the reveal was hysterical jazz. 🤣 the show seriously cranked up the monster factor, but that is how a striga was described in the book.
The Thing with the Striga is that the only one we meet in the Witcher books used to be a 14 year old girl that was cursed. So thats where it comes from, I guessed it btw, the red bloody paws and the way you drew them gave me some Striga vibes.
The way he effortlessly draws good anatomy. Like how?! 😭
I know actually depressing
I guess lots of practice.
Anatomy can be a little difficult to learn but once you know it it's pretty easy to remember
I would definitely watch a movie with your 'striga' version in it. She looks cool and strangely comes across as being nice, despite the blood on her paws... I like her 😅
While they don't have film depictions, Mordred from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" is really cool.
They're basically a human-spider demon hybrid that can shape shift between human and a giant spider, or even arbitrarily grow spider legs in their human form.
Oh man, I love that series. I'd love to see him draw mordred, the lobstrosities, or a billy-bumbler.
Love this idea! maybe some of the Taheen as well. I love the description of the creatures with human bodies and bird heads
Honestly the Crimson King would be cool as well, I forget how much he was described though
@@king_dot He was in my original comment then I remembered that he and Mordred are pretty similar.
It's been a while, but I remember that they have the same powers, more or less, but TKC just wears a crimson cloak.

There are tons of creatures from the TV show Supernatural that could be useful: wendigo, skinwalker, shapeshifter, djinn, etc. Another good source would be Harry Potter's fantastic beast book: dementor, hairy mcboon, hide-behind, lethifold, etc. It could be cool to see how he would draw the various mutts from Hunger Games (because the descriptions were very creepy, especially the third book) or maybe even supervillains like Killer Croc or the Scarecrow. Thanks for all the work on these videos, they are so cool!
All the creatures in Supernatural are from folklore and myths in the first place so. Not really from the show as such.
@@SableCatDog I know, I did actually write that, but my phone deleted my comment and when I rewrote it I forgot to say that. But you're right.
Have you already done angels as actually described by holy texts?
ABSOLUTELY love these direct interpretations! I used to read a lot but stopped later in my life. Some of these really had me confused but the description of Pennnywise was VERY iconic and the drawing from the descriptions was WAY better than the screen interpretations! I'm not actually afraid of clowns but that was just something out of a nightmare.

I would love to see the depictions of some of the Wheel of Time series monsters or people but not sure what you would get as a baseline with the series taking so long to be developed. I think they would be amazing!
14:35 The reason the striga is hard to guess is because they gave you the book description and it has never really been depicted accurately in any visual medium and the description in the book is very odd. It’s supposed to basically look like a bloated corpse of a little girl thats been possessed by a demon. I feel like the striga you depicted though would be a decent take for an animated witcher depiction. It would look very out of place and old world fairy tale esque.
The team did a great job curating this episode! Hope we get to see some more, there are so many monsters out there!!
Trollocs from WoT would be really cool. I always wanted to see a description of the "too human eyes" on a twisted, human animal hybrid face
Dude! I love the TH-cam rabbit hole, along with this guy's art! BEAUTIFUL!
These are seriously so much fun! I think Jazza should do more of the legend monsters like the Yowie. I would love to see his interpretations of more of these, there are so many out there you could definitely fill an entire episode, maybe two or three in a series!
You should totally do this on insert art. It would be so fun to watch different artists draw from the same prompts
Even if you don’t exactly get the sketches right on the mark with what they’re actually supposed to look like, they’re still amazing
would love to see some of the aliens from the Animorphs series get depicted, they're all absolutely wild and I don't think a lot of the cover art/adaptations have done them justice
Jazzy is the kind of guy that can make anything into art. I could give the worst description of something and he would still make it
look amazing.
I think you just inadvertently created Doug Jones Pennywise concept art.
Which is AMAZING!
The first part was so great but I have to admit I had some different ideas regarding the design of Cthulhu, could it be a biased vision... maybe😂😂but regardless it was an incredible video. I can't wait to see how these designs turn out😱😱
actually with the striga i was confused as well, then i saw your drawing on the face and directly went like "this could be a striga!"
so the description didnt give it away for me, but your confused drawing did the job :D
12:18 I think that the monster is pretty cute!!, it also reminded me of the monster (??) from temple run!!😂😂
I would love to see your depiction of one of the big bad guys from LOTR, such as Sauron, Morgoth, or even Glaurung from Children of Hurin. Or another idea is Grendel/ Grendel’s mother from Beowulf. Great vids dude!
Grendel would be dope!
I'd love to see this guys interpretation of other lovecraft creatures, like the Yith or great old ones.
Also Tash from Narnia chronicles has never had much attention, let alone a screen adaptation.
Tash is a great suggestion. Very vivid description in the book to work from as well!
I always love seeing people's depictions of Elder Things -- they're a hard one to visualize.
Also Lovecraftian: the original Thing from "Who Goes There?" -- in the story, it has a base shape that doesn't match either the "Thing From Another World" or John Carpenter's "The Thing":
- Rubbery blue skin
- Three red eyes
- Worm-like tendrils that grow like hair
- Four tentacle-like arms with seven tentacle-fingers on the end
- Thin lips and snake-like fangs
That's true! (But I liked the illustrations in the original books.)
It would be cool to see how Jazza is able to draw elements from the Stormlight Archives and how they compare to Shallan's illustrations in the books!
As a reader when the striga was described as "barrel shaped body" and 14 year old girl I immediately knew😂 but yours was definitely the most logical
It would be cool to describe the aliens from Ben 10 and see what Jazza interprets them as, also the monsters from goosebumps would be a nice addition to the challenge.
But wow, lovely drawings this time around too, I feel like you were more confused about them in this video compared to the previous video, it was hilarious seeing you try to piece together the last monster!
Yes! I guessed Oni and Striga! The girl that becomes the striga is 14, thus that description. Excellent work on the Oni, I wish the description had included "wields an iron mace" so you had drawn your version of a kanabo
