Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster (Scottish Gaelic Niseag) or Nessie is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. Here is my version of what this beestie might look like. I wanted to do a painting that had a bit of an impressionism look to it, so this was as good an excuse as any. I think the poor fisherman could have used more life and action, but then again he may just be frozen stiff from fear. lol Below is the finished piece, followed by a shot with a Fibonacci Spiral which I used to aid me in guiding the viewers eye through the composition. And lastly a close-up of the main subjects.

Warrior of the Deep

I see this guy as probably a warrior from a race of mermaids and mermen. or maybe an advisary from the Aquaman universe. This was done in Photoshop using the techniques of movie creature designer Aaron Simms along with some other tricks I picked up throughout the years.



Here is a screen grab showing the art and some of my references...

Sea Creature

It was hard not to draw some eyes and a nose, but I think this guy looks creepy this way.
