SciFi and Fantasy Art: Zmei Gorinich (Russian for mountain serpent)

In Russian folklore the heroes are the Bogatyrs an equivalent of knights though most were not of noble blood. In this somewhat westernized conception of the tales, one deals with a mence of many of those stories, the three headed mountain serpent Zmei Gorinich. (oil on cnavas, This is a rather large painting which I had to scan piece meal so some lines can be seen)
