King Salamanderby ~Robstasy

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 1743 × 1275
This is an Salamander, ispired by Terry Pratchett, a great author and satirist of every mythology, herostory and legend ever existed. The Salamander has no mouth, because he eats sun. He saves the light in his tail and releases it in bright flashes if he can contain more.
Deserts, so hot that nothing else can survive naturally, are lightened up like on day, because the salamanders have nearly no natural enemys there.
This one is a legendary big one.

So I got myself some watercolors, and once again figted the matter I haven´t mastered at all.
It worked out not too bad, I guess, with just keeping up a principle ance begon, and letting the colors do what they like to do the most, the way they want to.
I wont upload one picture where I have tried to make the colors serve my wish to much, and so it looks crappy. ^^

So fellow artists. My tips are 1: Just do it, and 2: obey the material, not vice versa.

Salamanders don't have any kind of civilization. Therefore they don't have a king. FAIL

wooow, you are an pure idiot ^^

K, just for spreading the thoughts I have fo this thing, the name King Salamander is, of corse, a name given by civilisations, like mandind for example. I am sure this creature wouldn´t even call it self a salamder.

But nice try. here, have a cookie. :cookie:

very good indeed :nod: I like it :D
btw have you seen real salamander in life (not a bif one, just small lizard-like about 10cm long?) - it's all dark and has and orange belly, very orange, almost like the flames, and if you tear him apart he will still survive and regenerate all his lost parts (of course i didn't try that on nature ^^; )

nono, only certain types can.A huge Comodovaran or how they are called droping its tail, would look funny.
