The release of Monster Hunter Rise came accompanied by a wave of fan art from eager and talented players. The world of Monster Hunter lends itself to creativity and innovation, and fans go out of their way to give their own interpretations of it, especially with the ferocious and majestic beasts that give the franchise its unique edge.

Fan art also stretches out to include the game’s titular character and even a couple of memorable NPCs. The wild and dangerous world where the action takes place is also a favorite fan art subject. The internet is full of these images, a powerful reminder of the immense talent and passion in the hearts of these committed and loyal fans.

10 Palamute & Repede

Palamutes were one of the most meaningful and overall best additions in Monster Hunter Rise. They not only improve the gaming experience but also enhance it, adding an extra layer of excitement to the hunt.

One of the best things about fan art is that there are no rules or limitations. Fans make worlds collide, and creatures who would never come together otherwise can co-exist, at least on paper. In this charming piece, the artist EternalMemorie portrays a Palamute next to Repede, a character from the Tales of Vesperia franchise.

9 The Glory Of Rathalos

Rathalos is one of Monster Hunter‘s most recognizable creatures, a veteran of the franchise. This majestic beast is already a fan favorite with countless pieces of fan art over the years.

Independent artist Sarah Mason focuses on fantasy themes and chooses the iconic monster in this excellent piece. Sarah’s Rathalos is majestic and powerful, intimidating and overwhelming. This interpretation of Rathalos ranks as one of the most ferocious, drawn in a style that makes it look like a classic European dragon.

Mizutzune has to be one of the most stylish and graceful creatures in the Monster Hunter universe. There’s an unusual beauty that separates it from the more aggressive and beastly monsters in the franchise.

Mizutsune is a fan-favorite design, and Redditor ishi_exe does an incredible job capturing the allure behind the monster. Ishi’s stylistic choices enhance Mizutsune’s already graceful qualities, giving a more dignified and grand appearance to this splendid beast.

7 Two Icons Facing Off

24-year-old artist Monica Bares has an impressive monster gallery over on her Tumblr page. She does a marvelous job capturing the rage that often characterizes these fantastical creatures while still injecting them with a distinctive air of grandeur.

In her art piece, Monica depicts the brutal clash between a Diablos and a Zinogre. Set against a hellish background, the two beasts dance around each other before making their first move. The image has impressive flow and a clear sense of the catastrophe provoked by the clash of two juggernauts.

6 The Abominable Snowman

The Goss Harag ranks as the most challenging enemy in Monster Hunter Rise. Not only does it have an exceptional and terrifying design, but it also puts quite the fight thanks to its numerous abilities.

Here, Artist Arthuria99 exalts every single dreadful detail about Goss Harag. The result is a monster that’s the protagonist of many nightmares, a memorable fiend of cold and torture. If players already dreaded the fight against this impressive boss, this piece will only increase that feeling.

5 The Mud Dragon

Almudron received acclaim from fans and reviewers, who praised its design and fighting mechanics. A dragon that uses mud as a weapon, Almudron takes evident inspiration from Chinese dragons.

In this representation of the beast, artist TigeraRainbowra chooses to display Almudron in all its glory. By focusing on Almudron’s deadliest quality – its heavy scorpion-like tail – the artist does the monster a service. The warm and dim color palette is the perfect finishing touch.

4 A Different Art Style

One of the best things about fan art is to see the different styles and takes of each artist. This diversity is present in T33NYTURTL3x vibrant and unique take on Zinogre.

Employing a style known as “vector art,” the artist provides new insight into this well-known monster. The artist intentionally chose a minimalistic approach, with spot-on results. The piece captures the monster’s essence and power without going overboard with the details, injecting a sense of originality into a classic creature.

3 Palamute & Zacian

Pokémon and Monster Hunter meet in this utterly cute piece by the artist Pikat. Re-imagining these fierce and mighty creatures as two good bois is a stroke of genius from a creative artistic mind.

Next to Palamute, Legendary Pokémon Zacian wields his sword using its mouth. The two doggos patiently wait for their master’s orders, daring anyone not to say “aw” when looking at them. Monster Hunter isn’t a sweet franchise, but images like this remind fans that charm and fun can hide in every piece of entertainment.

2 The Taming Of The Tigrex

And continuing with the wholesome spirit, the artist RAKUROBIT offers a prime example of redemption with this piece. A self-described fan of video games, anime, and K-pop, the artist offers another look into the traditionally terrifying Tigrex.

Baby Tigrex just wants to have fun. It’s laughing and enjoying itself, not preoccupied with anything or anyone. The artist expertly paints a portrait of youth and innocence. No player would be cruel enough to kill such a cute creature.

1 Wyvern Of The Malice

One of the most ruthless and ferocious creatures in Monster Hunter Rise, the Magnamalo is pure rage and instinct. It devours creatures whole, earning it the moniker “Wyvern of Malice.”

Deftly portraying the darkness within, the artist Shimhaq has a collection of evil-looking designs. With this portrayal of the evil Magnamalo, the artist succeeds in depicting the monster’s cruelty. What’s best, they still deliver a beautiful and inspiring piece of fan art that ranks as one of the best out there.
