Description
(c) Wizards of the CoastLast year around this same time of season I was asked to do a couple things for the new edition of DnD. Unfortunately I was so busy with school at the time that this is the only piece I was able to do for the new Monster Manual. It was really fun painting the Chuul, as I hadn't done very many arthropod inspired creatures before hand. I definitely want to draw more invertebrates in the future.

I want to see someone or a group fighting this. It looks challenging enough by itself!

In the monster manual they're listed as a "Large aberration". Taking up a 10 by 10ft space, so pretty big but I don't know the specifics.

Looks so awesome. The toned skin looks amazing, great details and shading. Briliant pose.

If you only got to do one, I am glad it was this one. The art from previous editions never really made this a good looking monster; perhaps not even an interesting monster. I could never really put my finger on why I disliked the older work so much. Your art, on the other hand, is awesome. It looks like a nasty monster to fight and the picture really captures a sense of how terrible fighting a chuul would me. Plus, there is a smoothness to the art and a wonderful use of color (especially the tendrils) that really grabs my attention.

Me too! Only found out this year that the story inspired Half-Life.
