First drawing of the New Year and The New Decade...I think it came out pretty good. Tried a new shading style and adding Rim-Lighting which I think helped that drawing pop a little! I still need to work at it, but I think it'll really improve my art in the long run!

Anyways, enough about my art ramblings. Anyone who's played D&D for a bit probably knows what this is, and probably would never want to fight it unless you're really high level, and even then you'd rather avoid it.

For those who don't know what it is, this is a Tarrasque, standing at 50 ft. tall and 70 ft. long, weighing in at 50 tons, with a capacity for destruction that can only be matched by gods, it is one of the strongest creatures in D&D and a potential end-game fight for most players. You can't even kill it by normal means. you have to use a Wish spell (one of the strongest spells in D&D) or literally call upon a deity to move it somewhere else just so it won't be your problem anymore. Thankfully, there's only one in existence, unfortunately, even just one can cause a cataclysmic level of destruction in a matter of a week or two. Mercifully, it's only active for a couple of days every few years, otherwise most mortal worlds would be demolished after a few years time! A Tarrasque lair keeps changing every-time it wakes up, so it's hard to track, needless to say, adventurers who stumble across it while it slumbers tend to do a quick 180 and bolt as far as they can in the opposite direction.

Dungeons and Dragons belongs to Wizards of The Coast. Seriously though, The Tarrasque is such a cool monster, hard to believe it was inspired by a creature from French-Christian folk lore, but there it's some weird giant turtle/lion/dragon/ox/bear thing. It doesn't look bad per say, but D&D's Tarrasque looks much cooler.
