The exalted Quetzalcoatl in acrylic on canvas!
I started this at about 4:00 today and finished around 6:20. I paint fast, and in a bit of an impressionistic style,so my paintings tend to turn around very quickly.
Serpents
Inktober 2016 : Headdress serpent.
Sometimes when I’m making scales down a creature’s back my mind wanders and they scales become more like the feathers in an Indian war bonnet.
Dragons of Europe: The Cuélebre!
It’s big, it’s mean, and it guards treasure and its unfortunate lady prisoners. It eats people! Could there possibly be any good use for a cuélebre?
Lake Monsters: Ogopogo!
A Canadian lake monster, Ogopogo rules over lake Okanagan. It stands out among other more peaceful lake monsters because of its reputation as a bloodthirsty killer.
It is often described as a many-humped, serpent-like creature with horns.
It is believed that the beast has its roots in native Canadian Indian legends of a monster called N’ha-a-itk,that would demand a live sacrifice from travelers for safe passage across Lake Okanagan. Hundreds of years ago, whenever Indians would venture into the lake, they brought chickens or other small animals to kill and drop into the water to assure a safe journey.
