Though taxidermic samples aren’t for the squeamish, artist Sabrina Brewer takes it to the next level to create compelling sculptures that mix and match dead animal parts to give “life” to creatures from fantasy.

Think griffins, unicorns and undead three-headed squirrels. If that floats your cryptozoologist boat, then have a look at her website at which you can buy your very own pair of Siamese Squirrel twins.

Lori Earley has some fantastically good portrait work. Her style distorts reality with large, soul revealing eyes and elongated limbs but her images are brought to life with a smooth, hyper-realist finish.

Keith Thompson creates some awesome sci-fi art. There’s alot to peruse on his site, with sections that include concept art for characters, creatures, vehicles and environments, not to mention robots and the undead.

If that wasn’t enough, most of his work also includes an engrossing back story that adds real depth to the characters. What I particularly like are some of the decorative aspects of the armour and uniforms of his characters, which imply history, adding to the back stories.
