We're used to seeing mystical creatures depicted as tall, well-built warriors or old, bearded wizards. After all, slaying beasts or casting powerful spells takes strength and experience. But Hong Kong-based illustrator Rudy Siswanto decided to flip our preconceived notions around by depicting them as babies.

From Medusa to Minotaur and beyond, these guys still look badass, only they're so young, you can't help but imagine them taking a nap in the middle of a serious quest.

Medusa was a normal human until she was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Athena, for reasons unbeknownst to me, felt she had to punish Medusa for desecrating her temple (like she had a choice in the matter) by turning her into a gorgon. She was very much an adult at the time. All that being said, it is a pretty wonderful painting. Fun fact about gargoyles: they are sculptural adornments associated with gothic architecture, however they are only considered gargoyles if the are also water spouts in addition to being sculptures.

From the stories I've read she was not exactly raped. She had an affair with Poseidon and her sisters stood guard while they were inside Athena's temple. That was why Athena turned Medusa and her sisters into monsters.

To correct Mythology, Medusa was a High Priestess to Athena Temple, Seduced (raped) by Posiedon, and turned into the Snake Haired monster we know in today's Mythology

Siswanto, who is originally from Indonesia, is currently working at Riot Games as a splash artist. This series, however, is from a bit earlier. "Baby Beastiary is a client project back from when I was working at Caravan Studio," Siswanto told Bored Panda. "It was for a crowdfunding project by Metal Weave Games. They came up with an idea for a baby creatures' RPG book and I helped them with the visuals."

Siswanto wasn't the only artist working on the project. "I contributed the most on volume 1 and volume 2, and I helped with art direction."

    The client came with a brief, so they were the ones who picked what particular mystical creatures to include in the series.

    "Through this project, I've learned a lot about not only how to create baby versions of different creatures that are already well known, but I also learned how to really observe [various little animal details], like their gestures, how they move and the proportions [of their bodies]," Siswanto said, adding that it has really helped him to take his craft to another level and create more believable fantasy creatures in general.

    Sorry to quibble, but Medusa wasn't born with serpent-hair; Athena turned her hair into serpents after she was raped by Poseidon in her temple.

    In Hesiod's Theogony, Medusa and her sisters were born with serpentine hair. Also Medusa's relationship with Poseidon is portrayed as neutral (he "lay" with her in a soft meadow, not Athena's temple). It's only in Ovid's Metamorphosis that Medusa was described as a human that was transformed into a monstrous being by Athena (as transformations were the prevailing them of the poem). Ovid's version depicted Medusa's liaison with Poseidon as rape. Interestingly, Poseidon was linked with her sisters Euryale (the mother of Orion, according to some) and Thoosa (the mother of the Cyclops Polyphemus).

    Ovid's Metamorphosis is generally the version that so many of us are familiar with in regards to Medusa's origin story.

    Last time I checked, her children (they were formed from the blood of her severed head) were Pegasus the flying horse and Chrysaor. Less is known about Chrysaor--debates range from him being some sort of flying boar or a golden armored giant.

    Ehhh... that’s a horse-with-a-horn. Why do so few people draw proper unicorns? They’re not horses with horns—they do have a horn, yes, but they also have cloven hooves, a lion-like tail, and sometimes a goat-like beard. How do people lack so much imagination that they just slap an ugly horn on a horse’s nose and call it done?

    Well, its hooves are in the grass, so we can't see exactly what they are, and it probably hasn't gone through puberty yet, so no beard just yet. Not sure about that tail, though. Maybe extensions?

    there would likely not be a horn of that size yet. The horn would grow in overtime, but as that foal still looks very young, it's horn would only be a lovely gold little nub on it's forehead. and this is just me speaking a realistic physical reality that would be believable should it be written in a story where nit-picking readers would argue with you about trying to birth something with a very sharp horn on it's face.

    Also, a 'btw', Cthulhu wasn't an Elder God, he was a Great Old One (in the mythos there are Great Old Ones, Great Ones, Elder Gods and Outer Gods, all distinct).

    When horses were first domesticated, people who never saw a person on a horse thought, seeing them from a distance, that the person and horse were one being. Head-on and from afar, the fusion of human and horse appears very real, exacerbating superstitions.

If you search Tarasque from Tarascon on the net you should find drawings and statues. (I actually lived in Tarascon so it's fun finding drawings of the tarasque)
