Loch Ness Illustration

A few years ago I did a watercolor of Nessie being bawled out by a fisherman and I've wanted to do re-do it digitally. This time Nessie is being warned that there's some not-so-nice people on their way to the loch.

This is piece is much more soft than my usual work. I'm planning on exploring this look a little more. The final illustration took a whole evening to complete as I was working back-and-forth between Illustrator and Photoshop. The kid in the boat actually started out much more generic and with his back to the viewer but after looking at it for a while I realized he needed to be as interesting to look at as Nessie.
