Who sees the small ones to the other side?

The Jackelopes. The magical cryptids known by man as fearsome, but hunted for fame and riches.
A Jackelope doesn’t value souls as arrogant as those of men. Hunters become the hunted as the jackelope reaps them as currency to grant vulnerable creatures passage into the afterlife.

King of Life, King of Light

Part of a series of character concepts based on chess pieces, with a Victorian Life&Light/Death&Darkness theme.

Creatures done for a project where we wanted a “paper cut-out” style, uncanny silliness, and our desire to ignite a love for the animals that tend to creep people out.

—Of Nightmares—

"The Binge and the Purge. They are sisters, always together.
Binge finds progress in the material. If she consumes enough she will have satisfaction. She feels vulnerability in empty space. While cradled in her clutter, there is no room to welcome the thoughts within her.
Two forces pulling in opposite directions yet longing for the same."

Guarantor of Wishes.

—Of Nightmares—

"The Binge and the Purge. They are sisters, always together.
Purge believes all is worthless. The only way of escape is to rid herself of everything. To start over as an empty husk. To lighten herself for speed of travel--what Binge is hoarding only holds them back.
Two forces pulling in opposite directions yet longing for the same."

Souls in purgatory. Lotsa bodies.
