Description EDIT: 9/13/10
as of august this picture is in the book 'Great Vampire Legends' a school book for kids printed by capstone publishing.

EDIT: 3/4/10
i changed the tree to not only NOT look like a 3 year old and some markers did it, but to an actual fig tree!

for 's 3rd mythological monster event. this one is of the aboriginal Yara-ma-yha-who. the yara-ma-yha-who could be the aborigines explanation of growing shorter with age.

the categories suck. where's the 'mythology' section?! it has to be 'sword and sorcery'?

I think this is the best work in your gallery to date. It's frightening as well as realistically organic and 3D. My only criticism is the tree. It would look fine in another composition, but compared to the relatively lifelike creature it looks jarring. Still, great work!

The colors on this one are very vibrant! Its mouth almost reminds me of those little things on the "Gobstoppers" candy boxes.

It seems fitting for a monster that swallows disobedient children

Yeah I know. You should keep making you own stuff. Some cultures just suck.

You should make up your own mythology. You can even make a book. ::

Well now you have the power of Photoshop, so you should make a book. You just need to learn how to do some other stuff in Photoshop so you can make a cool cover for the book and other stuff like the index stuff and the glossary in the back of your book.

I love the way you draw eyes and the detail you put into its back is amazing.
Excellent work on the shading.
