Mouthskerg, Marine Monster that roams mostly in Gopland Sea.


Open for Suggestions, maybe a Splash effect?

Yeah, I'd say go for a splash and some water dripping off of the monster, it doesn't look like the monster is emerging from the sea.

Are there any people on the boat, or is it too far away for us to see them? Or am I just blind?

OMG! XD it's awesome! I agree with Ty. Make him dripping wet to look like he came from the sea. So far it makes it looks like he's at the end of a waterfall or the edge of the earth.

Lets say the people went into the Cabin, Drawing them onboard would be awkward, so lilttle pixels
Sai_Wo (Aug 4, 2005)
Yeah, that's true. For some reason, the monster makes me think of Invader Zim.

NICE TRY!
YOU ALMOST FOOLED ME, LOL!
BACK TO THE BEGINNER BOARD WITH YOU!

Omg I am so witty. No, really, though. First things first, try using the "Anti-Alias" function in Lascaux. It will make your lines smoother, and, in turn, more cartoony-ish-erific. I think. Unless this whole jagged solid thing was what you were aiming for. Also, at this perspective, I think the monster looks a little weird. Without some sort of splash, or movement of water, it seems as if it is at the edge of the world and sort of "eating the ocean" with its large, cavernous mouth. To make it even more cartoony, you can add different stripes of blue for the sky and see how that works out. I'm not sure if you did this on purpose, but the right tentacle is a bit thinner than the second. Just a small inconsistency, though, and I thought it might be helpful to tell ya. Other than that, the picture is ok, except for the fact that waves have shiny highlights more often than shadows.

Aside from all that.. I like the imagination in this picture. I bet DinoFlorist would like it ,too..and I hope he sees it.

Nice monster, she could be the monster called Charybdis who sucked the sea and ships in her mouth, then spewed them out. Hehe! <:D

:o Someone should totally draw Scylla and Charybdis together.

Yes, I do like this picture very much! I was even starting to post on it before I saw what Davincipoppalag wrote. Pictures like this are so great because they tell a story with one frame. It is not a complete story, but the appealing colors and crisp cleanliness of this picture made me look at it long enough to come up with enough in my head to make sense out of it.

If more pictures were like this, I would be very happy.

just add a big wave coming up from below him. And dontt make it too detailed cause the simplictity makes it look great.
