This was a rehash of a creature I drew while screwing around in high school drawing class. I still can't decide whether I want it to be an extraterrestrial or surreal fantasy creature, but either way I was and still am pleased with the way the musculature turned out.

Bits and pieces of other creatures are incorporated into the design including the crest of a Nyctosaurus, barnacles, squids, and Salvador Dali's stilt-legged elephants, hence the name.

Done in mechanical pencil. Edited and background created in Photoshop CS5.
