Description

A few weeks ago I started drawing in the PS. I'm steel learning...
This is one of the first draw I made. I hope you will enjoy it :)

The Cock Basilisk version :D

"In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power to cause death with a single glance. According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk of Cyrene is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in length," that is so venomous that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal; its weakness is in the odour of the weasel, which, according to Pliny, was thrown into the basilisk's hole, recognizable because all the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence. It is possible that the legend of the basilisk and its association with the weasel in Europe was inspired by accounts of certain species of Asiatic snakes (such as the King Cobra) and their natural predator, the mongoose (see "Rationalized accounts" below)." - from Wikipedia.

I also made my (a little bit longer of this) description of this beast in polish leangue but its difficult to translate it. I can't so... I don't.

O kurcze polska wersja Bazyliszka. Super.
1. Bo z legend warszawskich ,a nie tam Harry Potter. Też mam na koncie Bazyliszka, ale bardziej ptasiego, w okularach przeciwsłonecznych, a dlaczego to wiadomo.
2. Świetne kolorki.
3. Szkoda, ze nie ma tła.
4. Fajne masz pomysły na bestie.
5. Ładniutkie wykonanie.
6. Może tak polski bestiariusz narysujesz?
7. Tak dalej.
