WB Product Art, The Basilisk, HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. Pencil.

This puppy was a real pill. I had to render it as the preproduction department on the film finalized their designs, and well before post-production worked their magic. It was a major frustration having to guess what this beastie would finally look like, and be critiqued harshly for guessing wrong. I'm still not a good mind-reader. One iteration had the producer exclaiming that the creature rendered didn't "look" 70 feet long. Thanks for telling me! lol

THEN, after I did a tight clean-up, ready for inks, word came that they added spikes to the overgrown guppy's spine! GAHH!!! After rendering ALL THOSE SCALES?!!! Grrrrrr....! Where's my electric eraser? lol

My 8 years old grandson and myself are very impressed by this creature. We are going through a real basilisk-phase due to Harry Potter,
so thanks for this work of art

So you did this for Warner Brothers' marketing purposes~? o: Because I just bought a pin at Universal Studios with this on it, although not quite as detailed but still the exact pose |D
I envy the details of its head :heart:
