You could be in the second volume of Beasts!, the anthology of mythological creatures published by Fantagraphics:

The rules: You must depict a mythological/folkloric creature that has been “witnessed” in some capacity in some culture at some point in history. No gods/goddesses or creatures of fiction. I am also looking for creatures that have not been depicted already in the Beasts! series. I will have a list of those in the comments section as soon as I can. Bonus points for creatures from recent times (such as the chupacabras, Beast of Bray Road, sasquatch, Loch Ness monster — but not those because they’ve been depicted by other contributing artists).

Hobbits are not beasts.

If any artists currently listed as contributors fail to deliver a piece I may choose more than one submission to run in Beasts! Book Two.

Submissions are due March 1. Jacob Covey has also posted a list of all the creatures that appeared in the first volume, as well as those already claimed for this one, in the comments section of the post linked above. He adds that this will likely be the last volume, as “they are quite exhausting.”
