Artist's Comments

This picture was done for Erth Chronicles ( [link] ) to illustrate the 'Siran' creature concept, vicious half man half fish monsters that destroy any living creature they happen upon!

Siran by ~alanlathwell isn't something I would want to swim with thats for sure! Amazing imagery, colors, and concept make this scary creature a fantastic piece of art. (Suggested by ~asymons and Featured by `cosmosue)

Dayum, that's some sick detail and perspective. Props on the aquatic background. That dark fade effect isn't easy.

What's this load of rubbish I have stumbled upon? lol

Just jesting - you know my thoughts already - superb painting. I love yout take on Erth's creatures. You captured the deep sea ref perfectly here. The Siran, in my opinion are going to be hard to pull off, how do you contend with those wonderful designs from Dead Man's Chest? I wrote the Old Yana scene 2 years prior - in my opinion the scene is still different enough - but it is immediately what readers will think of. The beauty of any Erth creature is their individuality. I see the Siran as all having their own horrific look based on all manner of deep sea fish. So much potential.

I always picture Lomax's fight against them. Now that I can't wait to see depicted. A wolf man pirate vs two or three of these creatures, gun in one hand, living symbiont blade in the other. Wow.

It looks vicious indeed! The mouth reminds me of an angler fish (I always find those deep sea fish wonderfully creepy). Lovely textures and lighting too :)
