Description The Jabberwocky is a beast from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll. In the story Alice finds an account of the Jabberwocky in a book which she is only able to read after holding up to a mirror. The monster is described with vague attributes, such as with "Jaws that bite," "Claws that catch," and "eyes of flame." The illustrations by John Tenniel for the book in 1871 have remained the most popular interpretation of the creature.

Enjoy!

Brilliant , perfect , couldn't have drawn it any better myself, 12/10 for detail and design, and for the idea of bringing Lewis Carroll's creation to life, instead of using the same tired dragon types we know of already.

According to dragon type lores on the internet, Jabberwocky is not well used in other forms of fan creation media (I have seen Jabberwocky used in flash videos and games), and that is why the Jabberwocky should be more used, and less underrated.

Keep up the awesome work .

Very fearsome! Almost looks like a Chinese Dragon, you don't see many fan-art of these, very good.

Quite fearsome.
Is there an interpretation of Cthulhu in your gallery?

Dang. I expected it to be more bug like, but many people see them as a variation of dragons.
Good job on making it scary.

this thing was one of the earliest things that scared the crap out of me when I was a wee lad. At least some of the various interpretations of it.
