Greek Mythology series 1 Cerberusby ~hellraptor

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

When doin the famous guardian of the underworld, i based the beast on mammallike reptiles as a starting point. Then i painted it red in classic hellhound colours

. I wanted to keep it somehow simple yet menacing by adding metalplate that has been bolted into its skin, causing extra pain wich feed aggression.

Fun Fact:
The concept of this creature no one seems to grasp is that the original Cerberus is simply "The Guardian of the Underworld", what or how he looks it completely irrelevant but the first idea was that of a dog-like creature.
In fact, one idea portrays him as a battleship that shoots at anyone in the water, or the river styx depending on how you look at it.
