"Ascent of Beast" by Louise Lindgren

Those worm like creatures are kinda cute, especially the one on the bottom left. Also really like the main dragon’s spines.

Louise Lindgren replies: "Thank you. the worms/eels/snakes in the background were needed. I think the image would have been too empty otherwise. "

The background is AMAZING! It must have taken days just to do that! Great Picture. The shading in highlights of the creature and surroundings are good too.

Louise Lindgren replies: "Actually. I did spend a few days on just the background, planning, sketching, shading and then shading some more... Glad you liked it. Thank you."

Wow, fantastic, Louise, this is (in my opinion) your best one :clap:

Louise Lindgren replies: "Aww... Thank you so much, Anne. "

I get the feeling this is far below the sea somehow! Very nice beasty, as always! I really adore them! Lovely details and a nice scary setting, popping up from dark holes like that! I think the ones in the background look kinda cute though!

Louise Lindgren replies: "Thanks, Marika. Yeah, I’m wondering now afterwards if I made those worm/eel/snake-things too cute. Oh well... the main beast is at least a nice contrast to balance the whole thing out. Never happier than when drawing something nasty you know ;-)"

Hmm, not "your average earthworm" but atleast as flexible as one. Is it trying to pull himself to a knot?

As always a very nice pencil handling Louise. I especially like his skull-like head and spine which are almost like bursting out of him. And those rock "textures" are also good looking. Only one thing wrong. And that one thing is that I cannot find anything wrong in this picture. Oh, what is going to happen to me if I am not allowed to point out something. Buhuu...

Oh and I noticed that Maxine’s PoD has casted her webs over northern hemisphere also. Don’t say that she has minions in Sweden already? Have you "fallen" too? Do I have to be afraid of invasion?

Louise Lindgren replies: "Nah... I don’t think you have to worry. Much I am confident PoD’s powers over here are weakened by the huge distance so... no invasions.

I’m glad you liked my latest beast. I really wanted to have fun with the half-bone half-flesh-and-skin design on this one and it seem to have made a good impression so far. And rocks/stone... Another thing that I always enjoy drawing. I’ve actually got yet another project in the planning involving stone structures. Thanks for dropping by! "

Nah, not too cute! It’s a fun contrast to the main beasty! Like you said! *lol* I know! Me too! The evil and the wicked are so much more interesting then the goodly things! Right?

Louise Lindgren replies: "Definitelly much more interesting. The overly cute and cuddly is pretty much banned from this gallery and has a restriction order forbidding them to come any closer than ten metres ;-) And I will not reveal what happens to anything with the colour pink. Though I’m not so sure on the whole "evil" thing. Having a scary appearance doesn’t always automatically mean you’re rotten to the bone. But it’s still more fun to portray, always has and always will Teeth and tentacles are always a winning concept. "

This is really stunning. You are awesome with dragons and dragon-like creatures, and the details and pencils tecknique is amazing. Great work!

Louise Lindgren replies: "Thank you. It’s one of those things I find most comfortable with and, frankly, is the most fun. And having fun is the most important thing, right? "

very very nice... wow.. like it alot.

Louise Lindgren replies: "Thank you thank you. Glad you liked it, Jonas."

This is great. I like the little babies. Mostly because they’ll grow up to become just as nasty as their parent. At least, I’m assuming it’s their parent.

Louise Lindgren replies: "Well... If you’d like them to be, sure. That’s up to you. I just wanted something extra in the background to not make it completely flat and boring. "

I don’t think you could do flat and boring if you tried.

Louise Lindgren replies: "You think? How sweet of you to say that. Thank you."
