Has it been ten episodes since the last wallpaper already?  Here is the Lagiacrus wallpaper I made for episode 20 of My Fair Hunter.  The download will be available tomorrow when the episode goes up!

So this one took a lot longer than the Barroth one.  Since the Lagiacrus is basically like a dragon-esque water snake, I wanted to really push myself and work with a dynamic silhouette.  I liked the idea of his face turning in the background as though he’s noticing an intruder so I wanted to incorporate that.  It took me maybe an hour alone just to figure out a good silhouette that I could work with.  I’m so glad I did that though because it made it easier to compose the Lagiacrus when it actually came time to draw it.

The parts I had the most trouble with were the back and tail end.  I tried hard to not let the back get too overwhelming and lost in detail.  I’m not sure how much I succeeded though.  I spent like maybe 2 hours on the red part of the tail because I wanted to keep the balance between simplicity and enough detail so that you know the tail is barbed.  There were a lot of times where things weren’t coming out the way I envisioned it, so I would have to go back and start over, augh.  Overall I think I’m pretty happy with it though.
