Wow, two submissions in one day.

Man, do I ever love cryptids. Creatures that may or may not exist. Such as the chupacabra, bigfoot, or the Loch Ness, to name a few.
I want to get into cryptozoology.

The Chupacabra, translated to "Goat sucker", is often described as a reptilian looking canine with a forked tongue and long spikes sticking out of its spine. It is extremely thin, and has exaggerated claws and teeth. Hairless and can be scaly, it also has eyes that emit a faint red glow.
There is another appearance, alien like creature, but that didn't appeal to me quite as much.

So here's my interpretation of a Chupacabra. I think I leaned a little too much towards that canine side, much to my dismay. But I still like the result.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can add in the background. Its lacking something.

Someone should start a club that is all about cryptozoology. I would join.

Here's a close up of its face: [link]

I actually prefer the wolf chupacabra over the alien theory. Very cool interpretation.

Thanks. :)
I'm tempted to redo this piece, a lot of people seem to like it and I know I could do a much better job now.

Hi, please disregard my previous post. -Liz. This is the correct contact information and message for if you want to reach us:

Hello,

I am looking for an illustration of a chupacabra to use is an upcoming television episode for Discovery Channel. Is this illustration yours? I found it on deviantArt.

If this is your illustration, would you be interested in letting us use it in our upcoming television episode?

Many thanks,
Adrian
