Description
A concept for the Loch Ness Monster. I don't often illustrate cryptids. The brief for this piece asked for the concept to incorporate some explanation for how Nessie has eluded investigators so effectively; my concept shows long filaments which act as camouflage when the creature is resting on the bottom of the loch.Related content

Love your creature, you got that lake-y murkiness spot on.
I did a very similar picture a while ago, they're almost kindred spirits

All joking aside, though, excellent work! I especially like the way you drew the water; very nice!

Holy! Very scary! Eerie! A zombie Ness! Just like that mysterious corpse the Japanese fishing boat dragged up and took photos of many decades ago. I do not want to go into dark waters!

I don't understand how it's even possible to make something look this realistic, absolutely astonishing work!

The only way I think it could be real is if it were not a plesiosaur. Because they ran a sonar over the loch for air in it's lungs and nothing came up. But what if it is a large strange fish and not a marine mammal? Lol, Idk. I'm no expert, obviously.

It actually looks cadaverous like an aquatic zombie. All it needs is a skinny dipping woman and the Jaws theme to complete the image.

He looks creepy... but I'd still like to meet him. I'll bet he'd like a nice scratch on the nose or under the jaw.

Terrifying. Looks like it was an undead sea monster...
But I like your new concept of Nessie. Great work!

There is something so creepy about this. The colours are great, as is the lighting to give the effect that it's underwater. I love the texture of the stuff on its body; it really give the thing a sort-of seaweed feeling.

I love this. Also, I like how you made it camouflaged in a way. Another way it could be seen would be ghostly, like Nessie is a ghost of past sea monsters(plesiosaurs and the like) and that's why it hasn't been found yet, since it could vanish at will, not being a living thing with mass. Beautiful!

It's beautiful and so detailed but it looks more like Nessie's corpse slowly floating to the bottom

wow just amazing, the light streaming down gives it a wonderful look!, as well as the seaweed reaching upwards, just a very well done piece!!

But this is fantastic!
Amazing detail.

Love this. It almost seems like more of the ghost of the monster, rather than the actual creature itself. So interesting.

...I think my mind has officially been blown away. This version of Nessie is great. I love the use of dark, murky colors, the biology of Nessie (great use of camouflaging filaments), and those teeth...*shudders*
