Description
This piece was created for my 90,000 pageview contest. The winner got to describe a monster in detail and I would draw it up.The winner for this contest was.... icon:anthem-to-sorrow:
This was a tough one and I took a lot of liberties with his description and just went with what felt right when I was drawing. I also got too lazy to look back at the description and just went with what I remembered. Here was his description...
"How about a snake head, with a body of a... PANTERA! With scales like feathers, with a stone texture, big fangs, not a bifid snake tounge, just a long one, red glowing eyes, and a Tentacled hairy beard... or a normal beard with tentacles in there, the beard well... it has to be purple with hot pink tentacles, or sumthing like that.
He needs to fly, so let's give him some Crow wings and finally let's build him some more details.
He will need a Big cool Helmet, a really cool viking helmet, with horns and spikes and all that cool stuff vikings have and a biiiiiiiiiiiiig Axe...
And finally... for his feather stone scales let's give him some corpse rotten green... sumthing pale and kind of fluorecent in some parts. "

That's one big-ass-mother-of-a-Thanksgiving Turkey! Look at how firmly she's holding the knife. That chick's gonna kick that monster's ass and serve it up with glazed yams.
The atmosphere is great. Stagnant. I like the division of the hot zone and cool zones. Works great with the composition!

Lets just hope tht glowy eye is just an LED, otherwise the poor girl is done for.
Again, really nice lighting, especially off of the beast's hand where it looks natural.
Blurred background is a nice touch too

What a great monster- it's surprising it's not in the common pantheon already. I especially like the viking helmet. Frankenstein could use one of those, too!

I have no idea how you came up with this from the description! I got tired just reading it! Well, I guess it was a good challenge for you!
Great job as always and I can't wait for the next one!
