The Bunyip
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 03:46:34 +0000 UTCA friend of mine recently reminded me about this reclusive, fascinating Australian cryptid. In some folklore the Bunyip is a shapeshifter who steals away and gobbles up children. Other versions suggest that he's just a misunderstood hermit who wants to be left alone in his billabong. I prefer the second concept. :) Sometimes he's depicted as a bird, or a fish or a hairy monster akin to North America's Sasquatch. I myself have a predilection to the big hairy guy who just wants some peace and solitude. Although, maybe he's up for a little company now and again. Must get lonely in the outback for a hulky, huggable monster!
(Note: This color palette took me quite awhile to feel happy with but we finally got there!)

I hope now when you're having non-bunyip-related nightmares this big billabong-dweller can hold you and keep you safe. ;)

This is awesome DB! The bunyip gave me so many nightmares growing up, but who would have thought all along he was just so gosh darn sexy?! This is an amazing work of art! Love all the little details you've thrown in there too!
