Description
Another of my favourite mythological monsters. I originally thought about drawing the heads looking closer to their natural counterparts, but then I decided that since this is a monster I'd play with their appearances a little, 'specially the lion head.And this is my last piccy before I move house so I'll be away for a while.

Amazing! Can I use this drawing in my article about chimera?

Very detailed; i love it! I think the snake is the best one, the scales are perfect! Keep going!

Thank you! I looked at a couple of references for the snake head since I'm pretty sure I would have botched the scales otherwise

Chimera the flying mystical beast

CRAZY GOOD DRAWING
quick question though... What exactly IS a chimera? My little sisters says "They can be any kind of animal fused together" But Ive only known them to be a bull/snake/eagle or sometimes with a goat or lion. So if by any chance you could clarify either one it would be a BIG help.

guess we were both right lol. Thanks helped out ALOT mos def. You have some really nice fantasy stuff going on. Mind if I ask what inspires you? I've been wanting to do FA as well but dont even know where to begin

No problem
Thanks! Most of it just comes straight out of my head these days but what got me into fantasy stuff was reading myths and legends when I was younger - with particular emphasis on any stories involving dragons or monsters and I'd try and draw the creatures from those.

Excellent rendition of this mythical creature. Never seen it portrayed so well before.

Hey thanks! I had bags of fun drawing this one - traditional chimera just don't seem to be drawn enough.

... *jaw fell off from the "WOW"* I agree with others, that snake is wicked cool.

Hey thanks! The snake was the bit that gave me the most trouble, it was hard getting that face right so I'm really happy ya think so ^^.

Love this! My fave bit is the snake. Great shading, nice detail. Just a cool chimera.

Thank you! Glad you approve of the snake - that was the bit I had the most trouble getting right!

I like the fact that you toy'd with the animals images, especialy the goat-They way you gave it teeth made it truely, the fearsome Chimera beast!
π: 0 β©: 1
Cheers! imo the chimera's meant to be a horrifying monster and an aberration of nature, so just doing like a normal goat wouldn't have been scary enough
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, thats so true, but, you made it MORE scary that it would usually be, thats the beauty of it!

really good work and good details

Cheers! I enjoyed rendering this one. The glow was quite nice to do - it just needed me to rub out the pencils in that area with a putty rubber to give the illusion of light

Wow! the shading is amazing! ^_^ Definitely a favorite...

This was great fun to work on. Thank you!

can you tell me how did you draw the grey sky?
π: 0 β©: 1
I lightly shaded large areas with a pencil then blended it all using tortillions (paper blending stick things) and tissues. For the highlights I then erased bits using a putty rubber. Hope that answers your question
