"Orthrus" by Aleister Lam

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 27 out of 74 by Aleister Lam. ←Previous - Next→


	Another mythical creature, Orthrus is the 2 headed pet dog of the monster Geryon. Orthrus looks after the cattles and was killed by Hercules in completing one of his 12 tasks or labours. I encountered alot of problem in trying to position its right fore-leg, trying to draw it in such a way that it looks like a 2 headed dog rather than 2 dogs standing side by side.
