Looks like it belongs in a book as an illustration mate.

Nothing fancy he says! LOL!
This fellow really caught my eye. The movement and fierce design of the creature is strong and compelling.
How did you like working with watercolors? I have found it to be the most difficult painting medium to master. So my hat is off to you sir.
I would love to see this creature developed further. It's such an interesting "monster".

I used to play around with watercolours all the time, I always liked them cos you can just pick them up and then clean up quite easily afterwards. I never did anything worth talking about with oils, and I always found them smelly when my dad used them. And acrylics always dried too quickly for me, although you can get great mediums for them these days that slow their drying (can't remember what they're called) The other thing about watercolour is that you can only spend so much time on them before you have to stop, and considering I don't have a lot of time at the minute... Still practising though, the set I'm using were really cheap ones, not great quality, think I bought them for about £8, but just wanted something to play with if and when I get used to them again.
Maybe he'll pop up again at some stage lol.

Yeah, watercolors have THE BEST clean up. LOL!

I like acrylics...especially with all the cool mediums available these days. (Acrylic "retardent" slows the drying time).
Alkyds are kinda cool too. (kind of a weird blend of acrylics and oils) But if you don't like smelly...well you may want to pass. lol
Oils are too much trouble for me these days. Plus I'm too impatient!

Happy Painting!
