Description
Art and creature design are (C) Omnicenos Please do not trace, recolor, or make bases from my work.Liminal are creatures that exist not entirely in one dimension or another, making them very difficult to deal with without magic or something like it. There are many kinds, all some perversion of life forms, but here are three that I've used in gaming in the past.
Their Master is this beastie, submitted much earlier.

Wow, I would not want to meet any of these beasts. Regardless, they are very unique and interesting to look at! All the textures and elements so apologetically spliced together. The bone structure of the first is intriguing as well as the bulbous folds in the body of the second. I think the last is my favorite, especially the head and colors of the petals.

Thanks, I certainly tried to make them interesting! c:

Horrible Maggot Tardigrade is my fave.
But I like how cohesive they manage to feel, both as designs and as part of a group!

It's like a water bear that wants to eat your face! 8D
Thanks!

I love these designs.Β I mean, the intricacy of detail alone is amazing; the tendon-like wrapping as a recurring motif especially grabs me.Β But I also love how you mix logic and illogic here.Β On the one hand, very obviously, these are monstrous creatures; the second one in particular just feels wrong, with its bulbous, sagging flesh and misshapen multitude of eyes, while the sharp fangs and skeletal features and tendrils they all share make them clearly unnatural and wrong.Β And yet...each one also flows in its own way.Β The skeleton crab thing, for example; the way the backwards head becomes like a thorax, the way the shape of it feels coherent, is unmistakable.Β That mix thus renders them all that much more unnerving, because they feel like they shouldn't exist...but they could.

I'm really happy you like them, I got a little discouraged earlier about them.
Yeah, they've all got tentacles in some form or other, it's how they catch prey. >D No-eyes is also a common trait (those are supposed to be pustules on the center one, not eyes, but I can see where you might see that. Ha! See.)

Aww, that much happier to give 'em the luv they deserve, then. <3
See, this is what I love about how you design your critters: you clearly put a lot of thought, not just into how it'll look, but what each of its traits means.Β It's great.Β

Ah, so they're like Eldritch Abominations similar to Cthulu and the Old Ones, or the Things From The Dungeon Dimension from Discworld. Β Something who's existence doesn't really play well with the accepted rules of what we mere mortals lovingly call "reality." Β They look really creepy, though I honestly thought the second one was a Daemon of Nurgle from Warhammer 40k game.

Well I hope they're not too much like any of those things, as they're supposed to be original creations. I always get a little nervous when my stuff is compared to extant properties, as it makes me feel I didn't try hard enough to be original. 
But yes, they sort of exist in their own reality, which is why you need magic or an equivalent mundane weapon (not much difference between a grenade and a fire spell) to shake their bonds with the corporeal world.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. With so much literary and creative history behind humanity, there's always bound to be a little overlap as far as character features go.

Oh my, those are interesting and creepy-looking. =0 Love how unique they are!

Thank you, I really hoped they'd be original (though someone pointed out the second one looks like something from an existing property so maybe I need to work on that one...). I Was really hoping for a certain creepiness. >D
