If you're looking for the next beastie to stat or just want some visual inspiration to jump start your brain, then you need to check out these two blogs.
Creature Spot, cops to being "the spot for creature art, artists, and fans" and boy is it ever! There's dozens of artists (illustrators, sculptors, and more) who post their latest and greatest. Check out a few choice selections:
Here's a piece by Weta Workshop designer Greg Broadmore who illustrates one of my favorite books.
Emily Fiegenschuh is one of my favorite newer artitsts. She's got a real whimsical style and does a great job giving her creatures a heaping of character.
I first learned of her work on A Practical Guide to Monsters, a really wonderfully illustrated introduction to D&D creatures for youngsters. She's done art for several books in the series.
Oh, and Eli--this one by Brynn Methany's for you!
Next up is RPG Creatures, which...okay, self explanatory. The site is home to illustrator Nicholas Cloister, who posts on Creature Spot, but he's got plenty of his own creepy crawlies to keep his dungeon--er, site, stocked. On his blog, he's even provided stats, so you can stock your own personal dungeons too!
Man, those are some beautiful beasties! Wonderfully moody presentation too. I tried to make sure the artists names were credited in the files names. (Please respect their work and play nice. ;)
DO swing by and check out these two incredible blogs and show them some love!

Awwwww...my own dedication. Those are cool raptoroids though. An interesting counterpoint to the savage intelligent raptors in the "Velociraptor" 3.5 game book.
I thought you'd like that. They need firearms though, don't you think?
