SciFi and Fantasy Art: Crocuta crotalus

This creature slithered at my heels, giggiling and snarling, all through one of my less than happy dreams one night.  Of course I had to make a sketch of him as soon as I woke up.

Colored ink on scratchboard

such a shame....I wish I got a bad dream once in a while. That is amazing! Such intricate detail and magnificent coloring! I wish I could got the same inspiration you had.

:-) Cheryl Nekomata Hylin replies: "Thanks. I’m glad something worthwhile came outta that nightmare.
Sadly, many of my more disturbing drawings are dream images. I often wonder what Freud or Jung would say...."

I like very much the details and the bright coloration!

Interesting. I hope I never wake to one of these in my dreams! The detailing, especially in the scales is really well done.

oh wow, this pic looks as though it has come straight out of the pages of a fairy tale, i do hope that you are published as an illustrator! thanx for tagging my work by the way! ^-^

:-) Cheryl Nekomata Hylin replies: "I’e not been published yet, but who knows....
P.S. You have great work, I love your mer-mom as well as the purple fairy."

It looks like a Hyena mixed with a snake and scorpion. I wouldn’t want to have a dream like that!

ugh...poor you, to dream of such a thing! Great picture, though! I like how the fur changes slowly into scales. However, I’d have done the snake part a bit more flat to be able to support the weight without rolling over. Know what I mean? <- Just a bit of constructive criticism there, I really think this pic is great.

:-) Cheryl Nekomata Hylin replies: "Thank you! I went and actually looked at a snake after reading your comment, and you’re right. While I can’t change this one (scratch-board’s pretty unforgiving that way) I’ll use your advice on a naga-king painting I’m working on now. Thanks again!"
