Description
This is my rendition of a Chimera.

It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. The creature's feet may also be of a dragon, but are mostly referred to as lions paws.

I decided to get rid of the human head concept because thats just unappealing with something of myth to me. It's gotta be purely beast. I definately liked the concept of lions body and scorpion's tail, seemed verry powerfull considering both are dangerous animals.

Used 2b, 4b, hb, 2hb, 2h graphite pencils for this drawing.
