¡Wow! Llevaba siglos sin actualizar, y el poco tiempo dejado por los exámenes y la vagancia no han ayudado mucho xD. En cualquier caso, regreso con un tema del que llevaba tiempo sin dedicar dibujo, como es el de los mitos y las leyendas.

Esta leyenda en concreto es sobre una criatura conocida como Mokele-mbembe, que es el equivalente al monstruo del Lago Ness en el corazón de África. Al igual que en el famoso lago escocés, se han hecho avistamientos en diversas regiones del África central, como el Congo, de lo que parece ser una enorme criatura, un superviviente de los tiempos de la prehistoria. Algunos lo describen como un gran reptil, similar a un diplodocus, mientras que otros apuntan a que se trata de un gigantesco rinoceronte que sin duda también sería prehistórico. Lo que yo hice es mezclar los dos mitos en una sola criatura.

Disfrutad de una actualización que anuncia mi regreso =).

----------------------

Wow! It looks like a century after my last update, and short time left by exams and my own lazyness didn't help at all xD. Anyway, I'm returning with a theme so long abandoned by me in my drawings, as myths and leyends.

This precise one tells about a creature known as Mokele-mbembe, the Loch Ness Monster's equivalent in the heart of Africa. As the famous Scotish big lake, some signs about the presence of a huge Prehistoric survivor being were found in some Central Africa regions, as Congo. Some people describe it as a big reptile, pretty similar to Diplodocus, and some other people points to a gigantic rhino, surely prehistoric too. What I did was mixing both myths in the same creature.

Enjoy with this update announcing my return =)

I'm so glad to see you back and drawing again :)

Your colored work looks really good here. I like how the colored background looks contrasted with the pale beast.

You would think if someone had the power to raise the dead they be able to jump a fence

Wow, I just watched a TV program about this, one of my favorite cryptozoological mysteries. It's definitely my favorite creature name, I love the sound of some of the native dialects of western Africa. Anyway, I think it's possible they exist, but I never heard of the rhinoceros version.

Jeje, muchas gracias, me alegra que te guste. La verdad, debería retomar esta temática poco a poco, siempre me fascinó desde niño y creo que es el mejor momento para recuperarla.
:iconnandah:
Yeah :) I'm agree, it's so great to come back to drawing again.

And thanks a lot for your comments about coloring, though it doesn't look as good as the original one. The scanner always swallows a lot of it every time I make a try. But yeah, I though about a twilight background for making a contrast.
:iconnandah:
Thankies ^^

Who knows, maybe you'll meet it in your next journey to Africa xD.

Oh, yeah. Nature misteries will be always impressively amazing. You know, I saw Peter Jackson's King Kong recently, and that movie made think about that "discovery adventures" genre whose popularity was decreasing as our world was revealing itself to our new satellites. I mean, we're always that sure about the world not keeping more secrets for us, but if that's a true point, why we never were able to film the Yeti, the Bigfoot, Nessie... Mokele-mbembe...? Of course, sceptical people can say they're just a bunch of leyends, but I prefer to be a romantic sometimes.
