Done this exercise just to get back on my feet.

I started doing it for the patterns on their skin only, but then i imagined the colors and soon i was also concerned about the shapes. I started looking for interesting patterns/shapes on existing animals. 2nd row 3rd head is heavily inspired by antelopes, 2nd row 4th started out as crocodile-ish, and midway i looked up butterflies. 3rd row 1st head is fully based on butterflies. 3rd row 4th head is based on horses, and 2 kinds of goats (mountain goat and markhor). 4th row 1 and 2 and the last head are based on crustaceans, especially on one that i didn't even find a Wikipedia article about (Acanthonotozoma).

Could I draw full-bodies for some of these?

Sorry for the late reply.
That depends :P If it's for practice but nothing serious, then it would be okay of course. But if you claimed the design as yours entirely after you are done giving it a body, i wouldn't be amused...

Wow. The level of detail here is pretty intense. Every drawing has it's own feel and look. Very skillful drawing.

Nice designs, great line work and details!

What is the script? A homemade language or is that just artistic hungarian?

Thanks~
Sorry i didn't spot your comment earlier, i don't know why didn't i.
More than a decade ago i made it to be my 'secret writing' but i also appointed it to be an alphabet in a fantasy realm i'm designing.
Here i used it to note sources of inspiration for designs i had planned to draw (e.g. blue morpho wing pattern, crystal shapes, deer spots)

Yeah that's cool. Encoding English using foreign characters, pretty neat. The real hard stuff is actually making a foreign language to go along with it.
