Description
For someone who loves the concept of the biblical leviathan so much, I have never paid hardly any attention to what it's supposed to look like.
Instead of a reasonably accurate portrayal, I draw a big sea serpent and say "good enough, seems legit."

But this is another redone old artwork of mine, and it was fun to approach a sea serpent with, frankly, a more mature and focused hand. It's body actually fades into the distance and I've realized I don't need to draw scales- just imply a few textures and it's like our brains recognize patterns or something.
Having objects in the scene to imply scale also goes a long, long way too, so I drew a little submarine to imply the bulk of this titanic ocean dweller.

Overall, quite happy with the result. It may not be visually dense but I had a fun time drawing it and I like the pose and design of the beast. Believe it or not I like the angle I gave the head because it forced me to not draw another vaguely saurian head with a crest. I had to think about such a head from another angle and, honestly, I think it turned out pretty alright.
