who up chewing on thy parsley

i tried to include all of the details from the original texts. it's called a dragon, a serpent, and a fish. most importantly it had to be kosher, so scales and fins. the illuminating power of the body and eyes is kind of there, although i cheated a bit by just not adding proper shadows. i did not include the heat breath in this, maybe i could in some other drawing.

the scratches on the fin might be criticized. how could something so powerful take damage like that? i wanted to depict the age of the leviathan, and i think that was a good way to do it. i imagine you can't be that old without scraping against a rock at some point. i think the fins are in pretty good condition all things considered. it's a detail i did deliberate over, but in the end i just had to stop drawing at some point.

the fins on the head are the 'horns', though i didn't include the text. it wouldn't be readable, and i also don't think it would look good. it would be too long. but just for fun, i'll add a little text anyway.
