Sea Serpent

I designed the sea serpent to fit into my 3 billy goats gruff scene. His place is at the bottom of the waterfall where the water he is in provides closure to this scene. After all, the waterfall can't just drop off into nothing. I crafted the structure from cardboard, plastic food containers and tape. 2 coats of paper mache were applied and then I painted the whole deal. Working from dark to light in a mixture of tempera and acrylic, I painted it all black to start. I then used various degrees and techniques of dry brushing to apply color. The flat carboard of "water" curled up in some places, but I am otherwise satisfied with the result.
