I struggle with digital art, and I realized I just enjoy the traditional media more. Digital art feels like work to me. Not always, but it's harder for me to improve in. Trad media was the same but since a friend encouraged me and I spent more time on it I was able to learn to enjoy making art like I did when I was younger.
Here is one I did for a friend. Then I came back to it later and worked it some more once I saw an interesting tutorial.
So, which is better?
Lair of the Sea Serpent, Elihu Vedder
going back to work tomorrow after vacation.
Some kind of potency in this, I was thinking that the sea serpent is clearly huge, but the wide expanse of sand and sea puts the whole thing in perspective, the sea serpent is humbled. and near to the ground. More dangerous because it's real. Why isn't it in the sea? hurt, dying? or it soaks up the sun?

The sea serpent!
A creature of which examples can be found all over the world, like Scylla, Jörmungandr, or Tiamat, the sea serpent is usually a giant at large among the waves, able to grip and destroy any boat or ship like it's nothing.
A certain classic #inflatable #seaserpent for @XydexxUnicorn It'll probably attract tourists instead of scaring them away, though, it's way too cuddly-looking.
"There's a snake on the western wave,
And his crest is red.
He's as long as a city street,
And he eats the dead.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
Where the snake goes down.
And he waits in the bottom of the sea
For the men that drown...."
- Vachel Lindsay, "The Sea Serpent Chantey"
