Something I made a long time ago for a book just revisited tonight. Photo composite of real life animals to make up this beast then uniformly textured and painted. before being turned into a original illustration.
Creatures that went into this were: Cobra (Head), Alligator (Random Teeth), Goat (Horns), Bat (Wings), Komodo Dragon (Belly/scale sample) Python (Neck) and the Arms?…The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) 😉
