A character whose design I based loosely off one of my favorite monster myths. He eats people D: but despite that can be a very friendly guy.

I hope he looks okay. I'm kinda nervous about the anatomy ^^;

done in painter 9.5

Edit: okay... tried fixing a couple things, including the too short legs. Some people have asked which monster he was inspired by too. It's an African ogre called the Sasabonsam. some of the elements I left out, like the second pair of feet and the long hair, but the original is indeed red and unnaturally tall. He sits up in trees and snatches up victims as they go by, then sucks up all their blood. Apparently you could tell which tree he was in because the ground it stood on would be soaked in red. cool, huh?

This is really cool :P The monster is adorable, in creepy bloody way. And I want to learn lo color like you.

Ah, btw, I don't know if it's me or what, but apart from the short legs I would point the left arm: I don't know why, but the position/perspective looks weird to me :S
