Tarina - Contestby *CobraVenom

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

[EDIT] I came 2nd place

Woo, it's finally done! Contest entry for

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to make a head shot view and info of babies and the inside of the mouth. Still, I am rather happy with how it turned out

I made this design perfect for use as a mount due to the fact that it has a straight, solid back and nothing protruding from its back or middle section that could get in the way of a saddle or a rider's legs. Rather than a bit in the mouth like a horse, it is controlled while riding with the reins attached to its horns.
I based the design on tapirs, jaguars, snapping turtles, and a little bit of bear

I hope you like it!

Great work, and great art. But I'm just going to be the minority here, it's kinda generic. It's like every other animal. But great work none the less. Gratz on second place!
