Hi all!
To Fearinox: That may well be, although not intentionally. Most of the runes have their roots even deeper in our history than just LOTR. I think Mr. Tolkien may have used the same source as i: viking age. It\'s actually very hard to create something original; you subconsciously use the things already in your memory and mix them up in a new way.
To Toadhead: Not only the neck, but check where the tail starts from. Seems like right thigh to me!

Hmm, i don\'t have any new drawings scanned. But maybe this old one will suffice. It was my first post ever to the LWW.

A sketch of rock munching creature. I called it by the name of Ponnylus. I imagined them to behave like modern day elephants; living in small groups and having no natural enemies that could penetrate their tough skin. They would only attack you if constantly irritated and some individuals could even be tamed. But usually they would just give you a puzzled glance and continue their favourite hobby: munching rocks. With its critter-like foreteeth a Ponnylus would gnaw rocks from the walls of the cave it lives in. The creature could then carry the rocks around in its mouth, just like pelican carries fish. After acquiring a mouthful, Ponnylus would head back to its home cavern and begin the long process of digesting. Thanks to strong acids and chemical compounds in the creature\'s stomach the rocks would eventually break into useful minerals. These acids however make the creature\'s breath almost unbearably horrible. Herd of Ponnyluses could fill a cave with their cow-like cries... and the cave below with eerie thuds from their footsteps. Ps. the man is for measurement.
