Description
The Dracolestia xengola, also called the Eurpoan Dragon, due to it's appearance, can be found under the surface of the moon Europa of Jupiter. It gives of a lot of bioluminescent light to attract small prey, however it can 'turn off' this natural form of lighting when it is threatend or when it has eaten it's fill to disappear back into the abyss.Related content

Oh, I remember reading that once. It fascinated me at the time, with it's possibility of having water.
No prob. Your art is excellent and very imaginative! I look forward to seeing more.

I really like this. I don't see very many concepts for Europan life: this one is good, I like the form, and the technique.

Seconding 's opinion about looking like a underwater photo. And I love how you've got the small lights going down his arms and body. Reminds me of comb jellies. And it's epic that you made it see through so you can see the organ system inside. That's so cool.

hey there, I know the reply's a little late, while painting it I imagined it being about 20 ft or so however, but since I haven't really given anything for scale comparison it could be viewed as a few inches or several metres long...

Awesome! Europan life is such an interesting topic, I love to see people's concepts for the organisms that could live there.

Nice work! I can imagine it propelling itself by having the membranes of its 'wings' open when they are forced backward (to provide resistance) and then folding shut again when thrust forward for another stroke, while the rear ventral fins provide stability, and aid in depth control and equilibrium.

It always cool to see an alien dragon sometime.
Keep up the good works!
