Hmm... Plug for Creaturebox? Artists are Dave Guertin and Greg Baldwin (http://creaturebox.com/). Really crazy designs, super out there. Link to their gallery (http://creaturebox.com/gallery/).

I really like the Porcupine/Skunk/Tiger monster. I was actually thinking of running one of those in our 4E campaign as a hard core controller monster...

A less detailed style, but I think this works for the thread.
