Creatures from Dreams

To keep the tradition, I'm using the first post to introduce what I intend this blog to be. Everything started with a a Tumblr site, the intention of which was to collect art depicting fantasy creatures, something that I always liked, but could never find a blog dedicated to it. 

The site grew, but as it was only dedicated to illustrations, I wanted to expand it somehow. That was when the Facebook page appeared. On it, I share not only illustrations, but any artwork related to imaginary (and some real) creatures and also news about the artists and events related to it.

Still, I felt that I should somehow find a way to bring the best artists, and the best illustrations, together. As most of them had their pages on deviantArt, I decided to try to create the CfD group in there. It's still in the beginning, but it seems to be working well...

And then I started to create a guide to the creatures on the website. The initial idea was that the guide should be a collaborative work. I would sew pages together, and that was why it was called "The Frankenguide". Well, I'm the only artist collaborating at the moment, but the guide is coming to life and I'm leaving it available here as it grows. But the guide is a literary work, not a graphical one. As it grew, I felt the necessity to share the information I was acquiring as it was being made. That is where this blog enters. 

Here, I expect to share the information I collect about creatures as all the projects above go on. If you have suggestions, (harsh) critics or want to say anything else, I would be glad to listen!
