Description Man, august has been such a terrible art-month for me -______-;; oof. I did this for conceptart.org's COW thingy though (creature of the week) and this is the description I gave it:

A nocturnal creature, the Lunar bird usually emerges from it's hidden den around sunset, where it immediatly takes to the nearest city in search of prey. while the bird itself seems to melt into it's surroundings as the light fades, it's still easily distinguishable from the glow of it's tentacles, which are used to hypnotize it's prey into a trace-like state. It's hard to escape, and many gawkers, including important political leaders and businessmen, have been snatched up as bird food. The lunar bird is the source of much controversy however, as it is sometimes seen high in the night sky over the countryside and mistaken for a UFO.

On a completely unrelated note, I can't get the time warp outta my head...

I really am attracted to this creature, perhaps more than most fantastical animals on dA. It's fairly simple yet mythically monstrous. I want one.

Ugh... Where do you come up with these ideas? O_o What inspires you? Do these terribly interesting and original things just come to mind? Just wow... The bird is beautiful, it's so abtract, it looks so out of place in that world... but in a good way. I like the different shapes in it - the rectangual feathers and glooing round liiights... The background is just the best...

;_; Awsome...
