SciFi and Fantasy Art Basilisk by Ryan Caisse


	This is a picture of what I thought a Basilisk might look like. I tried to combine some sort of lizard-like qualities to make it feel kind of reptilian. This piece was done in Pen & Ink on regular sketching paper.

8 Dec 2004	Arthur	Loading... i always thought that(what is the plurel of basilisk?)made people suffer instant death when they looked in to it's eyes? Anyway it is adorable! (pat) (snap!) ouch!
9 Dec 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Basalisk (sp) and cockatrice are pretty much the same thing, the same basic idea with a few little variations to each. There is a really good description at Gareth Long's encyclopedia of mythical creatures online. Anyway, I can't believe you did this in pen! Your poor hand, with all that detail! How long did this take you? I love the fact that his scales seem to shine a bit. Also, a very natural looking pose.
16 Jan 2005	Agent BlackDragyon	Loading... Cool pic. There's actually quite a pantheon of "basilisks". There's the HP giant snake, the 2-foot long crowmed snake that can shatter boulders and kill with a glance, the eight-legged lizard, the half rooster-snake, and I could just go on and on...
30 Jan 2005	Light_Suicune	Loading... That's actually kinda cute! Then again, I LOVE reptiles. Great job! Yeah, there's alot of Basilisks. There's a real lizard called the basilisk it looks like a frilled lizard and can actually run on water!
27 Aug 2005	Maiden Zelda	Loading... Ahhhhhhh, it looks like a baby reptile. Is that what you wanted? Very good job! Ryan Caisse replies: "I was considering using this piece as a baby dragon in the future. "
7 Dec 2005	Colleen Smith	Loading... It looks so cute!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you can try to make more like this.
19 Aug 2006	Sohrez the Dragon	Loading... A Basilisk is really a huge serpent, but I like your interpretation of is nice work
