Description
I painted this about the same time as the other cloud creature, just haven't gotten around to scanning it until now. xD

sooo, I made up these guys. It's another cloud species, which, like the other one, can phase between dimensions and such and usually stays out of visibility.
They are the predators of the sky, and live only in dark storm clouds (since they are always dark grey or black in color).
They have the ability to gather electric charge, and then release it from their mouths in spurts. When this happens, their bodies light up around the edges, like this guy in the picture is. Usually this ability is used to paralyze/kill their prey, or sometimes in fights with each other.

Normally, though, they remain pretty dark and whispy, except for their glowing eyes and the tip of their tail, which varies in color depending on its heat. This differs in individuals, it could be anywhere from bright blue (the hottest) to dull red (the coolest.)
Andddd... their feet are long and branched like lightning.

I don't have a specific name for them yet, I've been just calling them "lightning beasts" ...If you have a better idea, let me know! xD

media: acrylic paint, white gel pen and a littttle bit of colored pencil, on brown paper bag material.

Ooh, this is a wonderful concept x3 You could probably do an amazing 'war' picture between these and the other cloud creatures. Anyhow, I really like how their edges light up when they release lightning, just like how actual lightning illuminates the clouds 0:

YOU HAVE POWERS!

I really love this.... its really detailed without over-doing it.
To be specific, I love all the colours you put in the sky.. and the white whispy highlights on the 'lightening-cloud-beast-thing'
And they're very creative... I want your skills!

prezaurian [2009-09-02 16:21:13 +0000 UTC]

Very creative. I really like your style of painting. The wispy effect and colors on this creature is especially striking.

And if I may be so bold to suggest a species' name?
Ryukargog, Raikargog or Zeukargog? Sorry, the -kargog suffix just seems appropriate in my head for some reason.

Keep up the beautiful work!

Composition is amazing. I love the colors and the depth is love.. so much. Seems flat in some places though but I don't care! D:

You would be something more amazing if you got into animation. I would watch it all day. It could even be a silent piece all around. Watch it all day.
