Illustration by Daimera    "Mortasheen" is a world I've been populating with my own original monsters since 2003. A continent-spanning, nightmarish post-apocalyptic city, Mortasheen is inhabited by all manner of ghouls, mutants and mad scientists who depend on the bizarre powers of their monster creations and friends in nearly every aspect of their lives, settling all disputes with grisly monster-on-monster combat.    Below is a list of every single monster in my current "canon" - just click their names for my illustration and details. Game projects are currently in the works (no dates just yet) and you may enjoy my short flash cartoon or find something you like in the STICKER SHOP.
