Download PNG 1000 × 750
One of my favorite illustrations from my children's storybook, Bakit Naglaho ang Buwan? (translates to “Why has the moon disappeared?”, my thesis output)

The book is about moon eaters: creatures from Philippine Lower Mythology that are said to devour the moon, causing what we now know as an eclipse.

This kind of moon eater is called Bakunawa.

I love the scale of the moon, it is like a dragon base of fish. Very beautiful. The background is sky right? Nice background :aww:

Eeh, there's no moon here. ^^;

The Bakunawa's appearance is described as a serpent, or a shark, or a dragon-like fish. :)

It's viewed from the top, so below is supposed to be a city. I was in a hurry, so I just went with some random abstract brushes. :XD: The circles are city lights.

Damn I was referring to the fish and ended up typing moon LOL :XD: Sorry, I am hallucinating XD Under medication, sorry.

Ah wow such a complex appearance, but it turns out really awesome :-)
