Title: Year The Beast
Name: jack zoo
Country: China
Software: Photoshop

Hi, everyone!

This is my first post here: a beast called "year" in traditional Chinese tale. It's said that once upon a time there was a frightening beast called "year", it appeared every year and attacked all the villages. Accidentally the villagers found that the beast was afraid of crack and red color. So they burnt bamboos to make crack sound, decorated their houses with red stuff. The beast was horrified and run away. And that's the origin of the tradition in Chinese new year.

I use the story as a reference, but I make some change to make the sence and figures looks more dramatic (such as the color of the beast), hope you like it.

My main tools are photoshop & intros 3.

Comments and critiques are most welcome.

nice composition and coloring, only the eyes of the beast his head look a little to flat to me.
Anyway nice work :)

Your character design is very unique and strong.
It almost like combining asian characters with western designs.
I like it very much.
