Nightmare Dunkleosteus

Description

This is a train wreck that wouldn't stop happening. Originally was just going to be inks, but afterwards I was compelled to vomit gray markers all over it...

In the end, it was just another practice run, but I do like it despite how haphazard and not knowing what the hell I was doing.

Anyway, it's a Dunkleosteus >> [link] . Ancient armored fish that is basically nightmare fuel. As much as I love sharks and think they can be pretty damn scary, Dunkleosteus is to me much more horrifying. Look it up, that things skull is just WTF.

Done up with my usual LEMMEPUTTHISHERE method of detail, it's not supposed to be scientifically accurate. A disclaimer for those who get butt hurt over "fantasty" based imagery of extinct critters when the intent isn't for text book illustrations and the like, but more for the creative flow of merging fantastic stuff with the old and ancient.

Dunkleosteus is © NATURE. This particular rendition is mine however and he doesn't take kindly to being prodded.. He might bite an arm off...or a leg...or your whole body.

Pencil Eno sketch with Copic Multiliner SP linework; haphazard colors with Copic Markers (gray mostily) and some diluted ink to attempt texture. That didn't work to well so i'll have to get water color paint or something and find my other sponges... Photoshop used to level out the colors to get close to the original. Darn scanners.
