Description

I have a thing for pitting monstrous creatures against exponentially smaller opponents. :D

This was a spur-of-the-moment gift--or rather fanart--for the story and characters of Miss Gloria Bowden, an Elfwood friend. The charming beastie is a nightmare monster, creatures that epitomize any one of the seven deadly sins. I'm not sure which one this guy is--wasn't really thinking of it as I drew. ^ ^'

The comparatively small, valiant blue woman is Leohna, one of the protagonists of Gloria's story, Eyes of Stone. Judging by what I know about her thus far, this is probably a common scenario, as she's rather stubborn and never backs out of a fight--no matter how disadvantaged she may be.

I'll have everyone know that I did use a reference to draw the pillars--I didn't just whip them out of my mind (though goodness knows I wish I could XP). I also used some stone wall texturing for the bricks in the wall. Everything else I did myself--honest!

Regarding the picture itself, I'm not too pleased with the pose. It feels like my own personal cliché.... Anyhow, I had so much fun with the monster, and I hope this spawns many moments of inspiration for Gloria in the days to come.
