Description The Leviathan


Book of Job 41:1-34: "Can you draw out a Leviathan with a hook or press down its tongue with a cord? Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a bridle ring? Will he make many supplications to thee? Will he speak soft words to thee? Will he make a covenant with thee? To take him for thy servant forever? Will thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy girls? Will the tradesmen heap up payment for him?... Lay thy hand upon him, thou will no more think of fighting. Behold the hope of him is in vain, shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?...Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is near to the another, that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his [sneezing] a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of morning. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth....His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone....He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble....He maketh the deep to boil like a pot....he is a king over all the children of pride."

Oh..... my...... gosh. There aren't really any words to describe how awesome this picture is. The detail is insane. My hand would fall off before I'd get anywhere near HALF that much detail out of the pencil. @_@ Gah. So awesome.

Se mai è esistito un drago doveva essere così
forse l'occhio Γ¨ un po' vitreo e non sembra in armonia con il dischiudersi delle fauci...
comunque il fatto che esca dall'acqua lo rende ancora piΓΉ reale
Fantastico.
nient'altro da dire

Wow! It truly is the leviathan! Hmmmm, seeing as you're asking for advanced critique, some small picky things which can't be seen at first. One is the shading on the really tiny scales at the bottom of the neck doesn't seem quite right... And the other is again shading, on the big fin things. Something doesn't seem right about the way it is on them... Sorry to be picky, but you did ask fer it! Apart from that, awesome job man, have to be a favourite!
