Description Sorry 'bout the big watermark, but this sucker was splash art for a great little game company called "Pixelgrip" and I don't want anyone thinking they could make off with it. However, I was quite pleased with the result, featuring as it does the three-headed demon-dog Cerberus chewing through an army of the damned. The three heads were based on my boss's Dobermans, who are actually incredibly pleasant and friendly dogs with names like "Squidgy" and probably didn't deserve to be made into the terror of the Underworld there.

Digital, Painter/Photoshop from pencil sketches.

Sorry to spam, but you can tell the spines on the back have been cropped off- badly, and it's been shrunk to hide the bad cropping.

Interesting. I'd never pictured Cerberus as having a carapace like a turtle's, but it works in well with the spines across the shoulders. The reflection of one slavering jaw in the pool was a nice touch -- and the glowing eyes are just (dare I say) brilliant...

Hi
As far as I know Ceberius is the Dog which garded the underworld in the Greek mythology.
It is not a demon. It is just Ceberius.
But since the picture is made for a game I asumed that in the game Ceberius has different role.
Great work !

My favorite piece from your gallery so far, the Cerberus is very nicely done and those little demons are really cute. One of them looks like it's crying at the sight of the Cerberus.

hmm.. i just looked at it in the larger view and i was thinking that it might look better if you left the eyes sort of glowing orange without little black pupils. still great though!

Your entire gallery is exceptional and unique, and this piece shines with no less enthusiasm. I revel the way you tackle different mediums, messages and motifs. This picture must be enlarged to full view, it is truly impressive; I would have missed the tiny demon characters had I not...all great!

I did not think I would run across another artist so soon to add to my watch, let alone one right under my nose.

Great work. Love the contrast between the yellow and the darker colors. Nice draw of the beast. Like the eyes, they're very psychotic. The lil demons in front of the beast are lovely. Yes, lovely.
