Of another world

this painting is very lonngg.

its about 4 feet tall. but the width is obviously not so wide.

so the picture isn't very detail-esque. but its okay ;3
the was inspired by the water beetle and various other stuff (octopus/jellyfish/lobster claw things). I wanted to draw someting big and scaryifyouencounteredinreallife. lol.

see a picture here of the real water beetle.

-p.s.
*that I found on google* not my picture. (the painting though was done entirely by me, that picture was just a mild reference)

its sad that I have such a sucky camera, you can't see all the fine details :[
