Description A giant burrowing creature that has an appetite for eating thin wormy dragons. This was a creature of the week topic. I just wanted something that was all Mouth and Teeth with a fat bulky body. The background was drawn out and reproduced to add to the topic without having to make an illustration representing the idea. A small figure thrown in for scale purposes.

I really digged some of the creature designs in John Carter. It's a shame that it bombed so much in the box office.

What medium do you use?
Or do you just use a tablet?

This piece was drawn out in pencil first, as was the dragon design, scanned in and then colored in Photoshop 7.0
Digital - Photoshop CS3 (now) Painter X mixed in every now and then with a Wacom Intuos 2 9x12 inch tablet.

Well, to color something like this I'd say maybe an hour or two, depends on if you include the background with this one. Though this piece is more just filling in linework color. Coloring other images, where I'm "painting" with a more rendered style, it depends on the details and complexity but usually between 2-6 hours for a single concept "detailed and rendered".
