Description
Leviathan is actually a Biblical sea monster referred to in the Old Testament. However, modern culture usage of the term Leviathan shifts the image of Leviathan from a sea monster into a sea serpent.I tried to make my own summon magics, and since Leviathan is one of my favorite summon from the game Final Fantasy and I have tried to make it once, I decided to start with this one. However, I think it's still heavily influenced from Final Fantasy VIII's Leviathan.

Leaviathan looks great. You also did a good job with the furious sea and the peaceful sky in the backround!

I absolutely love the Leviathan. In Monster Galaxy, Leviathan represents Pisces but they made it look like an ugly fish thing, you made it look absolutely beautiful!

Love this! This looks very graceful and pretty. I'm actually going to be writing about a leviathan...do you mind if I use your picture as one of my references?

very good. I love the painting like feel; instead of a monster the Leviathan looks majestic. I love the mysterious quality you gave to it with the moon and clouds in the background. great job.

Very cool! I especially like the waves as they slap against Leviathan, and the clouds in the background are well done. Overall, it's really good~
Erm...if I may take a moment more of your time: would you be willing to allow me to use this picture in a roleplay I'm in on Gaia Online? I'd be sure to keep the signature and all that information there, and I would credit you completely for it and link people to your main page via the picture. You can, naturally, say no, and if that is the case, I will not use it. :]

Many have likened the Leviathan to the Lochness Monster, or assume it may be some deep sea serpent we have not discovered yet. I am guessing it is most likely extinct, or may even be a divine creature we know little of. Keep in mind I speak in the viewpoint that assumes the Bible and its words are true, so I hope I do not offend anyone with my comment.

I agree with you on this. I also think Leviathan would be a "sea serpent" because Job 42 references multiple details that describe a sea creature of great muscle, a tail as round as a cedar tree, and the ability to breathe fire.

It does have a very strong FFVIII influence in it. When I saw the thumbnail I thought that that's what it was. It's gorgeous, regardless, and I love the way you did the sky and the ocean.
