Ashitaka wonders if, had he been around during modern times, would he have gotten a metallic arm? (not connected to the other au sketches btw.)

During the era of Beasts, A lone Ceratosaur-like theropod sees the Nightwalker. In a few thousand years, the theropod’s descendants would evolve into beasts comparable to gods in their power.

“Eboshi’s last stand against a god that she made. Born from corrupted flesh of god, man, monster and beast all into one being of destruction.”

After using the decaying boar’s bones into his own body, Amhuluk was corrupted by the lingering energy that came from the corpse. Now motivated by nothing more than absolute malice, Amhuluk began to destroy any living thing in his path with the beast eventually reaching where Ashitaka and San were wandering to.

“The elderly monster and god beast have a talk before the invasion on the humans.”

“When San was a young girl, She and her mother saw a great beast, as large as the whales that swam the seas or the megasauropods of the earth. Usually these Ice Dragons lived much farther up north. Though the one she saw was much different.”

You just need a goopy deer.

Step 1: Get a deer.

Step 2: Draw it wrong.

Step 3: Make it real goopy.

Voila. Perfect monster to give children nightmares .

Good for anime, too.

In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their allegiances to the Great Forest Spirit—for those were the days of gods and of demons.
