Description "Probably no legendary sea monster was as horrifying as the Kraken. According to stories this huge, many armed, creature could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship's main mast. Kraken's would attack a ship, wrap their arms around the hull and capsize it. The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster. What's amazing about the Kraken stories is that, of all the sea monster tales we have, we have the best evidence that these are real." - from the museum of unnatural history ([link] ) Updated version, added more realistic rigging, and got rid of flying guy.

"Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... THE KRAKEN!!"

Of all the Sea Monster's that i've heard, the kraken is the one i fear the most. One of the main reason's why i dont go on a ship. Out of no where it comes up and grabs the ship I would be in awe out of fear and amazement.

The deep holds mysteries. If we don't kill all the sea life - perhaps other giant creatures will be discovered.

A mighty looking beast

Its a shame there is no detail on the ships deck, some people & rigging etc would have added pathos to the IMO tragic even of a kraken attackin'

Is this really an ink drawing and not a digital renderation btw It looks impossibly digital?

Big up sea monster themed art
