Description I've started using the biweekly challenges to do color/style experiments that I normally wouldn't be allowed to do in client work.

One of creatures of myth I learned about earliest, when I must've been 6 or so. Had this awesome book that introduced me to a whole slew of fantastic animals from legends around the world (though to be fair, it was 80% Pliny's Histories source material). The Catoblepas always seems to be pictured as some sort of shaggy, depressed cow...

If I looked like that, I'd sure as hell be depressed. But! Cool pic and vision of the obscure beast.

I'm just trying to grasp the concept of a shaggy depressed cow...all I think of is a sad yak O_o

Lovely colours and a great sense of humour there!

Thank you. The saturated sunset colors were a risk.
