Means constrict in Latin.
An Indian python. Awhile back I had a huge urge to draw either something fishy or scaly, and I guess scaly one. Fishy next time maybe.

Listened to two whole Tool albums this evening while finishing. Feels good that its done. And that I'm pleased with it.

Uh, pencil crayons, watercolours, watercolour pencil crayons and acrylic paints. On matte board.

Gaaah I want a snake

Holyshit photo-realism here! Wow... Amazing detail with the scales, especially on the snake's head. Love how you defined the scales with white, really makes it pop. How you shaded the snake's underbelly is also quite impressive cause white is frikkin' hard to shade without making it look like a different colour altogether, but you nailed the shading here. Love all the texture in the eye too and the subtle background x]

and fuck yeah Tool :headbang: was recently watching live vids of Lost Keys, it's totally sick live!

Durr, the underbelly was the last part I did. And one of the hardest for sure. White is an ass to do nicely. Dx
But thankies! :iconurhappyplz:

Chyeeah, I've been listening to a ton of Tool lately. They serenade me while I trudge through my precalc homework. Makes it more enjoyable and bearable. xD
I'm totally hooked on Intension right now. So good!
And I've rediscovered a totally kickass riff in Undertow. Sucks though that its only during the last 30 seconds or so.
