The Moon Eater

Older piece from October, late upload! Sky Creature assignment for Perspective class. The challenge was to try and show perspective using details and values (smaller and more desaturated with less contrast as they get further away, etc). I actually really don't like my dragon very much, but I think the clouds are quite alright--I definitely had a lot of fun painting clouds. 

This painting was inspired by the story of the Bakunawa, a giant sea serpent from Filipino folklore who tries to eat the moon and causes eclipses haha~ 

I'm sorry for my dragon's ugly face and weird fins! I know it looks really derpy and the fins look almost transparent, my deepest apologies to any creature artists out there. ; n;
