Description An entry for Bogleech Obscure Mythology C.O.W #1

Here's some info about this creature;

"It hatches from an egg, laid by a seven-year-old rooster and hidden in a knothole of an oak tree, growing in a dusky thicket. If a person trying to retrieve the egg asks gods for assistance, the oak tree sinks into the soil, leaving the luckless egg-snatcher empty-handed. But if everything goes smoothly and this person manages to get a hold over the egg, he should hatch it in his armpit for several days. Eventually, an outlandish creature will emerge from the egg - a hybrid between a snake and an owl. Not only can it fulfill his stepparent's every whim, but is also extremely willing to do it. Perhaps a tad too willing: once a task is completed, Kujgorož immediately asks its master for a new one, sometimes interrupting his sleep or meal. Eventually anyone grows extremely weary of Kujgorož's unhealthy enthusiasm, but just ordering it to calm the heck down is a wrong thing to do: unless provided with a task, Kujgorož enters a violent workaholic withdrawal, causing it to run amok and destroy everything in its wake, often killing its former master in process. The right way of dealing with the critter is to give it an impossible task, usually to weave a rope from sand. Being extremely stubborn like all Mokshans are, Kujgorož will keep on trying to do it until the end of the world.

As I've already mentioned, it's hybrid between an owl and a snake. It's usually assumed to be a humanoid, though in an eponymous animated short it appears as a flying serpent with misshappen anatomy."

I'm adding this to my favorites AGAIN. It's still one of my most beloved monster drawings.

Holy crap, I'd say this ranks as one of the most impressive things you've ever drawn. The coloring and shading is awesome throughout, but I'm really fond of the colors on the mouth and arms.

Holy crap, Cosby, that is incredibly well-shaded. I'm kinda jealous.

It's good to finally see some stuff from you that isn't on blue-lined paper.

This is one wicked design you've got here.

Glad you like it!

I can't help but wonder if I should have added more "snake" to it though.

A tail would have been nice, but otherwise it's just fine.
