This is a depiction of the Loch Ness Monster (or Nessie) for Dragonsmana's cryptid files project, more details here:

[link]

I imagine a highly specialized Plesiosaur adapted to living in Loch Ness, mutated through centuries of inbreeding. The large, sensitive eye helps it see through the dark, peat filled water and keeps the creature away from the surface and blinding sunlight. The tentacle like structures on it's chin help it root through the mud along the bottom for hidden prey. The extended growths along it's "ears" are a new type of sensory organ which allows the monster to detect changing water currents and thus approaching fish.

And why a cyclops? Because it looks cool :)

Enjoy!

P.S. The cyclops OWNS! As they say.

A cycloptic Nessie is an interesting approach to it :3

Thanks. I wasn't going to use it at first, but it came out pretty good.

I remember seeing this in person at the Comic Bug...what I loved most about the design was a touch of Lovecraft within. I know the guy had a fear about sea life, so I would have wondered what his thoughts on prehistoric sea monsters would have been like. Anyway, thanks for the heads up!
