Description
Took a short break from another project and ended up doodling the very base concept of this thing. It's supposed to be a massive creature that normally lives in the sea, but emerges to devour flocks of birds alive and store massive amounts of them inside the flotation sack things on it's back/underside. There the birds fly up and push against the transparent skin of the sacks trying to escape which, in addition to the gasses the sacks are filled with, helps the thing stay afloat for a short time as it is actually very light. When the birds exhaust themselves and eventually expire, it returns to the sea and digests the remains.DUMB CONCEPT, but painting it was fun haha. Oh, and download it for the full size.

I don't think the bird-as-levitation-mechanism thing would actually work (lol mythbusters).
But who cares, this is magnificent!

I don't think it's a dumb concept at all. On the contrary, it's pretty inspiring.
(Also, sorry for spamming you with comments. Your artwork is amazing!) :3

It has kind of grown on me as well. It may be too silly to dislike!

We have discovered the true power of flight. Eat birds and store them in transparent sacks as they try to escape. I will call him the practicality fishmonster.
lol, in all seriousness tho I'm glad you are doing some more original stuff, always ends up being pretty creative and fun, and this guy is too X)

It's not thaaaaaaat dumb.
Though, it does sound like you might have been doing something interesting when you did this pick. How many times have I told you that staying up to obscure times is bad? D:
(see, I almost said too much mountain dew and other things too. But, whatever. More later!) xD
