Leviathan Strikesby ~matt-brown

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Storybook

The great whale emerges from the deep…

I wanted to strike a mythical tone with this one - as if it were the picture cunjured up after overhearing a sailer's strange tale in some firelit tavern.

A print of an original pen and ink illustration which was then painted digitally.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-04-13

With Leviathan Strikes, ~matt-brown has managed to portray a beast that looks, paradoxically, both menacing and friendly at once!! That, coupled with muted colors and a storybook style that is also reminiscent of wood-cut work, makes this illustration a charming and captivating piece of art.

This looks incredibly awesome. I love the style- it reminds me of a woodcut, but is more controlled. It looks wonderful. Incredible job.
