Description For the Alphabestiary challenge. The creature is the Catoblepas . You can read up on it there. (The words "Alphabestiary" and "Catoblepas" are links. Apparently they're difficult to see.)

I like red too much XD

The horns are particularly fantastic. And there's never a problem with red! It's a bold colour which seems to make a lot of people shy away from it. (I know I do, at least) So seeing an artist work so freely with red, to me is a good sign of confidence.

That and it's just an awesome colour. :3

Whee curly horns!

Most people I know stick to either reds and browns or greens and blues. I seem to like longer wavelengths

Thanks very much!

I'm surprised you're not participating in the Alphabestiary challenges. It seems like it'd suit you.

You're welcome! I might still do a few (I'd like to), I just have way too much on my plate at the moment to pick up another project.

I don't yet know what a Catoblepas is but you made it look PRETTY AWESOME. XD

Now I'm curious to look them up.

Hit one of the links I have up there. They may blend in, actually. They're bright yellow on my page, but I'm running a custom script, so... Click the word "Catoblepas" and it should redirect you to a page with info in the beastie.

Thanks!

Oh, very nice! The scale-like details and the spinal protrusions give it a lot of character. The windswept hair was a great touch as well. Very excellent!
