A Ferocious Monster of the Deep - Spineback Turtle SteemMonsters Card Fanart
The first time I saw the Spineback Turtle card, my immediate thought was "spiky angry Lapras" hahaha XD
I'm willing to bet it's like some kind of huge, ferocious sea monster. The kind that you hear tales about, and you're like "nah, that's too big" or you just think that it's some old fishermans' tale.
The tale of a turtle as big as any ship, that will come and devour your entire crew whole. It crashes up out of the waves and decimates all in it's path.
Though, just because it's funny, I like to think that the turtle might actually be a herbivore, and it just comes up to the surface for rare occasions. It's freakishly huge and has all those sharp spikes, so it probably accidentally damages ships really bad, but it doesn't actually eat anybody. It also doesn't really go out of it's way to help the now stranded and drowning victims, but they could probably catch a ride on its back, maybe wind up wherever it is these things lay their eggs. Probably on the beach of some deserted island.
Maybe the Spineback Turtle isn't actually as huge as a ship, but there's just a giant version of it that appears from time to time. I could also see it being about twice the size of a sea turtle, and just being a kind of common monster, but it still surprises people who aren't from the area, since they probably spend a lot of their life in the water.
That being said, I bet they would make an EXCELLENT boat for adventurers hahaha :D
If you're curious about the process of the bigger picture, here's a gif showing how I drew it lol:
AaaaAAAND here's a quick preview of something else I'm drawing :D
Also a sketch for something that idk if I'm gonna finish or not tbh lrjaklfjkldjslkj
RjaklfjaRJLEAJKFLSljslkj I'm drawing these monsters too much haha, I need to get back to work on my vampire comic XD
And also work on my musical audition and
Then I also have some speedpaint requests and
....
I'm busier than I realized LMAO
I'm still going to draw a whole bunch of these things tho like guys my biggest problem in life is that Fandoms are Love Fandoms are Life, they take over everything RJLEKAJFKLSJDSD
//SHOT//
Okay but no seriously I already have like 2.5 comics I wanna draw with these cards
I have a problem >v>;;
that could be a really cool mount or a hunter pet :D
Like a big ferocious boat, but then you pet it and give it nummy food haha XDD
Nice work dude! I love it! Obviously you have no time for MORE projects, buuuuut,,,,maybe you should do the cartography challenge and design a map.....you can check out my attempt, but Im afraid I suck at digital art.....the lore might amuse you though, I did a fair bit of writing. If you like the concept, you could always draw a BETTER VERSION wink wink, nod nod DOOO IT!!!!!
Hahaha, I was thinking about joining the cartography challenge, because I really love maps lol, but I haven't had time XD;;;;
All I know is that the ice region needs to be to the north, and the death region needs to be a desert in the fire region LOL
The fire region would be on the equator, and full of VOLCANOES >:DDD
Also I was gonna make the life region the island of Avalon XDDDD
And just yknow I really have a lot of ideas for it (swamps, rainforests, multiple different kingdoms lrjaklfjsdk) but I haven't had time XDDDDD But I'll check your map out! :D
Haha you've got a problem,..a good problem! But great sketches by the way, really digging the Steem Monsters fan art! Tnx for sharing!
frankly I as a reader who dear already saw your post I've seen and I've read I think your post is very good and quite interesting and very useful for me and for all friends steemian's all thanks
Where did you get so much time to paint ?! I've been trying to look at the downloaded courses for a month already, and I just can not find the time for it:
PS: You have a very cool drawing)
