Here's a WIP!

I have always been fascinated by monsters and large ghoulish beings stealing away petite little princesses.. I suppose it comes from the influence of Jon Bauer who's art struck me so much in my childhood... he often drew little white princesses aside huge mountain trolls.

I wanted to draw something in that vein, with a modern twist. I also wanted to challenge myself into painting something with scales as I so rarely paint reptiles. I referred to photos of iguanas for his head and sort of made it up as I went as I moved downards to his arms. I got the idea for the detailing on the girl's dress sleeves from a painting of a lady I saw at a museum.

This was done in photoshop, no textures, all airbrushed.
