The Birth Of The Legged One

This picture was created on a whim, first as a pencil drawing, which I later continued to paint digitally. It shows a kind of creation myth, I love to think up something like that. The story goes something like this: the Merfolk cut the first two-legged men out of the primordial serpent and bring him ashore to follow his destiny. Born out of a sea monster he becomes the upright walking human. The question is, how much monstrosity did he bring ashore with him?

The painting captivated me for several days, and I thoroughly enjoyed working on it. It will be sold in a very high resolution, so you can see every stroke and detail superbly. The image was created as a private work in March 2018. It is of course a unique piece.
