Description
Behold the fearsome Taniwha, a creature from Maori mythology (well my take on it anyway).I gave the head a very stylized maori carving look, and added feathers around the top of the neck., the body i based mostly on the Tuatara.
The text is all from a site i found through google.

Looks great! I was wondering if you based the body off of a tuatara as soon as I saw it. Very clever.

i was wondering, what's the reference of you drawing this mythical creature?

The head was based on Maori designs (obviously I have stylised it quite a bit) and for the body I mostly used reference photos of the Tuatara, a native lizard from New Zealand. Then I just made up some parts and added it together
