Hydra

Photobucket

First of all...III'MM BAAACCKKK!!! Haha, sorry for the absentness lately, lotta x factors and such have kept me from updating, but here we are again!

I have always been a fan of Greek mythos, and even more so of a fan of Greek mythos monsters and thought it would be cool to do a drawing of one..

The hydra, if you are unfamiliar with the tale, is one of the beasts Heracles (or Hercules in Roman) had to slaughter for one of his twelve tasks (look it up if you get a chance, interesting tale).

The fun thing about the hydra though is, when you cut off one of its heads, TWO would grow in its place...making this a daunting task for even a demi-god.

Heracles finally killed the beast by searing each of the neck stumps as he cut off that head, so that no heads could replace the severed ones...

Anywho, here's my hydra!
