SciFi and Fantasy Art The Questing Beast by Aleister Lam

The Questing Beast is first spotted in the Arthurian Legend, it is reputed to have a romantic attachment to the knights that hunted it, like King Pellinore and Sir Palomides.
Its appearance is described as that of a leopard with an anguine head, a forked tongue, leonine hindquarters and the hooves of a hart.
Like Merlin, it too is the result of the union between a virgin & the demonic incubus. It is said that there's a princess that incestuously lusted for the affection of her brother due to his good look, boyish charm and charisma. One night, she summoned a incubus and made a pact with him to enable her to copulate with her brother. In actual fact, the incubus transformed itself into her brother and before long the princess was impregnated; resulting in the birth of the accursed Questing Beast. The creature is always on the quest for the water to slake its unquenchable thirst; which accounts for its name.

19 Jan 2004	Rebecca R. Reizner	Loading... I'm reading The Once and Future King right now. It has the questing beast and I've been wanting to draw it. This is a beautiful picture. Very fierce looking.
13 Aug 2004	Ams	Loading... i am reading the once and future king now and what you drew looks much to fierce to be what is described. In the book the beast is loving and kind but you drew him as a ferioucious man eating monster
